Crying Wolf

By: Doug Joseph

Narrated by: Chynna T.

An unusual distress call sends Captain Remy Eskar and his crew on a rescue mission in the asteroid belt for a dying military cargo ship, where a sole survivor clings to life. Upon extraction, the incredible story Major Dillon (Deke) Temkin tells is hard to believe. With the safety and lives of his crew at stake, Eskar is faced with discerning if Deke is telling the truth or has fabricated this tale to cover the misdoings of a secret mission. Looking into Deke’s past brings even more suspicion than resolution. Temkin's special operations background, vague answers, and a veil of sealed historical records add to the mystery left in the captain’s lap: Who is Deke Temkin, and what is he hiding?

A mystery in space

“Crying Wolf” by Doug Joseph is a fun, fast-moving space mystery that kept me hooked from start to finish. The story is full of twists, with great humor and interesting characters throughout. The narrator’s voice was unique and added to the experience. If you enjoy sci-fi, mystery, and action, I highly recommend this one!

Immediately caught my attention

This book grabbed my attention from the very first chapter and never let go. I usually stick to sci-fi and have been wanting to try a mystery, and this was the perfect blend of both genres. One thing I really appreciated was how plausible it felt. When characters were worried about something, others actually took them seriously. It’s not one of those frustrating stories where everything could’ve been avoided if people just listened. I recommend taking a chance on this one. The sample alone will capture you and it won't disappoint!

I Recommend This Compelling Journey!

If you are a fan of Star Trek or any Sci-Fi you will love this book. It is a cozy tale of the Federation ship the Gibraltar and an unexpected guest. The narration for this story was masterfully done. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
