Lost Solace

Lost Solace, Book 1

By: Karl Drinkwater

Narrated by: Marisha Tapera

Sometimes spaceships disappear with everyone on board—the Lost Ships. But sometimes they come back, strangely altered, derelict, and rumored to be full of horrors.

Opal is on a mission. She’s been seeking something her whole life. Something she is willing to die for. And she thinks it might be on a Lost Ship.

Opal has stolen Clarissa, an experimental AI-controlled spaceship, from the military. Together they have tracked down a Lost Ship, in a lonely nebula far from colonized space.

The Lost Ship is falling into the gravity well of a neutron star, and will soon be truly lost…forever. Legends say the ships harbor death, but there’s no time for indecision.Opal gears up to board it. She’s just one woman, entering an alien and lethal environment. But perhaps with the aid of Clarissa’s intelligence—and an armored spacesuit—Opal may stand a chance.

Author should give up writing

First if all, the narrator was pretty good. I liked the voice for the mc, but not so much the other characters.
Now, the author is like a freshman in highschool who discovered a philosophy book, then immediately wrote a story. It's all exposition and monologue with random thoughts that make little to no sense. Stream of consciousness written down. Then, to spice things up they have the mc make every horrible decision they could think of, all while defending their faulty logic. Skip this one, you can find better free stories on any audio platform available.
