Space Junk

A Military Sci-Fi Series (Waymaker Wars, Book 1)

By: Rachel Aukes

Narrated by: Scott Aiello

Captain Jack Hale and his crew of ragtag scavengers live by a code. They do the job, get paid, and keep their heads down.  

Salvaging a distant section of the asteroid belt seemed like the perfect job. But when he and his crew stumble across a mining camp filled with dead bodies, their plans for a quick payday quickly go out the airlock. Especially when they find a scared little girl who knows the truth about the massacre.  

When Captain Hale refuses to turn over the survivor to those behind the slaughter, he and his crew become outlaws. Fugitives in a system controlled by an alien AI.  

The odds are against him, but Captain Hale has an ace up his sleeve, or rather, in his blood. The secret might just give him an edge to beat Sol Corps at their own game, though exposing it will draw out an old and even more dangerous enemy.  

The sins of his past may just be what saves the future for all mankind.  

It's Harlock: Space Pirate meets The Expanse in this pulse-pounding military sci-fi series from Rachel Aukes, the best-selling author of Black Sheep, Rebel's Run, and 100 Days in Deadland.

Great job as always. I just love Rachel Aukes stories

Scott Aiello is outstanding performing every character so realistically that one thinks you are actually there. He is one of the best narrators today.
I have read or listened to Rachel stories for years. I’m never disappointed. I really like character /military driven style. These characters are great.

Good storyline

Really helpful to escape reality for a short while. I really hate this new requirement from audible to write reviews.

Great story!!

Creative, gripping, and suspenseful…with just the right amount of human nature sprinkled in to make it both enjoyable and believable.

Voice narration was top drawer. I appreciate, respect, and am jealous of his skill. Thank you for a job well done.

Fantastic Start to Space Opera

Story is interesting and incredibly well-written. Loved the original premise. Reader is superb. Can’t wait to start book 2…

No Agenda Detected

Getting hard to find sci-fi/fantasy lately that doesn’t pit women against men with women outsmarting, outfighting and saving the world from brutish men. This book just has a great story, it’s fun, imaginative and creative. I don’t want to get out of my car at end of the day and have to wait till tomorrow to continue listening. Thank you for a fantastic story with no agenda!
