About this listen
When Van Tudor returns to his childhood home, he inherits more than the family farm.
His grandfather used to tell him fantastic stories of spacemen and monsters, princesses and galactic knights. Little did Van realize, the old man's tales were more than fiction; they were real.
Hidden beneath the old barn, Van’s legacy is waiting: a starship, not of this world. With his combat AI, an android bird named Perry, Van takes his first steps into the wider galaxy. He soon finds that space is far busier and more dangerous than he could have ever conceived.
Destiny is calling. His grandfather's legacy awaits.
Embark on the adventure of a lifetime with USA Today best-selling author J.N. Chaney and Terry Maggert in this galactic quest for glory.

This is an interesting little adventure....
Almost a domestic version of an original story, with the problems of household budget and shopping.
A fun little adventure of a man discovering a deceased grandfather's secret which leads him into interstellar adventure.
Some people don't like the narration, although when you realise the book is written in a deadpan, slightly sarcastic and matter-of-fact way, then you realise the narrator got it spit on.
And the style is like that of a 1940s detective novel, so it fits.
anyway. I enjoyed it and listen to it often.
iI look forward to further instalments.

Excellent
I thought that this book was brilliant. It was well written, and I loved the humour that was sprinkled throughout the dialogue. I recommend getting it, and I am moving on to the second book in the series after writing this. A book that takes you with it, transports you to different worlds and makes you want to read more. A last thought, the narration was top notch Jeffrey, it was very clear, natural and suited to this adventure. I can see why you were chosen for this project. Thanks to all....

Different
Started off thinking that I wouldn’t like it was quite drawn with the voice of the narrator but I ended up reading the end and I think I’ll get the next in the series and see what it’s like so overall not a bad book she get into it

Absolutely brilliant, an heir to Hitchhikers Guide
Loved it from start to finish. Brilliantly written, great mix of science, humour and story. Hilarious in points, felt exactly like an heir to the the throne held by Hitchikers Guide. Perry and Nettie are so dead pan sometimes, it was the perfect pick me up for getting home after a 12hr shift. Audio performance was just so satisfying, like getting out of a hot shower and into comfy pajamas. Couldn't recommend this book enough. going to jump down the whole series now...
