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....

A great book to get lost in
Great story, and fantastic idea by the author and narrator.
After expeditionary force series this is a great other option for sci-fi

Not at all what I was expecting, much better!
Another great book by the authors. Fans of sci-fi and the likes of Old Man's war, Galaxy Outlaws and Wayward Galaxy will enjoy.
