Lethal Cargo

A Cauldron of Stars, Book 1

By: Felix Savage

Narrated by: Chris Ciulla

Hardened space pirates try to kidnap a young girl…but a hero materializes from the stars and ruins their plan. His only mistake is letting them live.

Legendary space trucker and freighter captain Mike Starrunner travels from planet to planet with his interstellar crew. But now they‘re in big trouble—they know too much about a criminal group called the Travelers. These murderous miscreants leave a trail of death wherever they go, and they want Mike’s head.

When his efforts to shake them fail, Mike and the crew’s survival is at stake. They’re outnumbered, outgunned, and outmaneuvered, and an ugly end seems certain. Desperate, they try a final impossible tactic as the Travelers close in for their revenge. Will the reckless gambit save them, or will Mike and his crew pay the ultimate price?

Lovers of Iain M. Banks, Alastair Reynolds, and James S.A. Corey will flip for this genre-melding adventure. Find out why fans say this epic space opera has “insane adventures of improbable heroes!”

Disappointing

The blurb sounded interesting, and the world-building and science were good, but it just couldn't hold my interest.

It felt like the author was trying to juggle too many genres, and he kept dropping them: hard SF, noir, gritty reality, sociopolitical commentary, satires upon all of the above...

I gave up somewhere in chapter 10.

Different

Spoiler alert

Not what I expected or was looking for
Werewolf detective in space lots and lots of talking

furrys meet scifi meet fantasy meets ..

There was too much going on to be of any interest. stick to sci Fi or fantasy or whatever the furry thing is. but not all 3.
