Distant Warning

Backyard Starship, Book 18

By: J.N. Chaney, Terry Maggert

Narrated by: Jeffrey Kafer

In a clandestine meeting on Earth, Van learns a critical bit of family history when he meets his secret benefactor.

From the halls of power in Washington to the vastness of space, the Guild moves closer to outright war as shifting alliances force everyone—including Van—to pick a side, take up arms, and fight.

But there are ghosts out there in the black, and some of them carry secrets that Mark Tudor and Petyr Groshenko refused to reveal. In the expanse of his memory, Perry finds an ancient ship, and an even older war—and neither of those things have truly gone away.

Faced with power and responsibility unlike anything he can imagine, Van Tudor is about to learn a fact that few people have ever known: The universe looks different when you're wearing a Master's badge. And those who don't have one just might want you dead.

New life forces?

Vann and his honed crew are protecting Earth and it's gallacy. Along with finding clues in the outer rim of, "the deeps" and claiming a new planet as home.
There's a lot of excitement in this book as well as the whole series.
Very well composed and narrated.

The growing stack.

An excellent addition into what has become an ongoing saga of excellent story telling imaginative situations and well played characters. The tie ins and call backs make you want to check out all the back stories and origin tales. Spoiler they are excellent too.

Series gets better and better

The story is serious and spattered with lots of zingy one liners from Perry and the crew. Really entertaining writing and narration!

Always Good

I thoroughly enjoy the series and look forward to each new book the other series are just as good

Another great episode in the Backyard Starship collection.

The story was intriguing, the characters were interesting as always and the performance really brought the book to life.
