Publisher's Summary

Cygnus Rising, Cygnus Expanding, and Cygnus Arrives - the first three books in the Cygnus Space Opera series bundled together.

Snarky Hillcats and the Cygnus Marines on harrowing missions.... What could go wrong?

From space they came, to space they returned. Humanity would not be denied.The crew trains for their mission and joins the Cygnus-12 as it tests the Interstellar Space Engine, venturing far beyond anywhere they've gone before.

They didn't expect to find life, but they did, another human colony at the far reaches of space. The Cygnus-12 goes on a mission of peace, but war beckons, and the space ship is the prize.

What do others have to say about the Cygnus Space Opera?

"Most authors can't make an animal character believable. This one does. Craig Martelle has a great imagination and can put it down on paper for you to enjoy also, just like the great writers of the golden age. His writing is very reminiscent of their work." - Amazon five-star reviewer

"...you will see the flavor of Sci-fi, Fantasy, and with enough sarcasm and humor to keep you highly entertained!"

"A character driven book, but with a stable plot as well."

"I enjoyed reading it very much. There is a lot of humor as well as action. I look forward to the next book in the series."

Terrific Stories!

Would you consider the audio edition of Cygnus Space Opera: Books 1 to 3 to be better than the print version?

I haven't read the printed versions.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Cygnus Space Opera: Books 1 to 3?

I particularly enjoyed the discovery of the source of the robots. The introduction of Billy-Joe-Bob to "Boxy".

What does Chris Abernathy bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

The tone. Chris puts a lot of effort into making sure that the narration of the books is done well, and conveys the emotions of the characters wonderfully.

Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

The books made me laugh out loud on a number of occasions. Brutus in particular.

Any additional comments?

Great stories, narrated well. A great team for creating audio books. I hope to listen to more in this series.
