Gone Nova

Backyard Starship, Book 19

By: J.N. Chaney, Terry Maggert

Narrated by: Jeffrey Kafer

Van is proving that with power comes danger.

From the shores of a secret planet to the halls of power in Washington, Van navigates a complex web of lies, law, and politics, all so that Earth can be saved from the clutches of ruthless criminals.

But these people aren't from Earth. In fact, they're not even human, and they see Earth as a ripe fruit ready to be picked.

That doesn't work for Van and his crew, so he begins fighting back with the dirtiest tactics of all: diplomacy. Since the aliens are among us, and they want money and power, Perry and Miryam will unleash their skills to craft a plan that uses Van, Icky, and Funboy to stop the exploitation of Earth cold, for the enemies are led by a new player in the galactic order.

The Tsarina. She's cruel, she's heavily armed, and she's coming for Earth—with a ship that can match anything the Guild has. With enemies at the door, Van finds out that Masters can fail, secrets are hard to keep, and the Earth is worth saving.

At any cost.

The Team. Both on Fafnir and in its orbit.

Got annoyed at some of the Tactical mistakes. We'll miss you Peter. Second time around on this book.. Love the series. Oh, and the YT trailer for the story is outstanding.

Another Great Tale

As always the story is full of twists and turns keeping my attention. After 19 books I feel the characters are like family.

You haven’t started this series yet……

Still loving this series. It hasn’t become boring or full of babble. This is one of the best stories I had the pleasure to read. The crew continues to bring a smile to my face with their banter.

Consistent

A good listen and story. It’s been the same for the series in general. The performance was outstanding as usual.

Series Only Gets Better!

If you were to tell me that after 19 books that I was to say the series just keeps getting better, I would LMAO! Perhaps I say this after each Backyard Starship book but it is true. (BEST BOOK OF THE SERIES). I can't wait for the next book to come out!
