great characters and narrator

the principals by the characters and the story made a great story that made it hard to put down. narrator did a wonderful job with various people and any accents needed. can't wait for next book.

give me more please

I'm loving the start. I'll be waiting for more.
Tom Taylorson did great, but R.C. Bray would be great for this Series.

Great voices!

Well worth the listen, I am looking forward to listening to the rest of the series!

Fantastic space opera!

The scene is so well set, it draws us in immediately. I was there on the edge of my seat only a few minutes into the book and the rest of the story follows in the same vein.

I love how the new scenes are often a big surprise. My brain goes tilt, in a good way, as I try to figure out what is happening, much like the character who also doesn't know what's going on. There are many wonderful characters along the way and while our main character goes through his progression and development, it isn't a main focus and doesn't become THE story like it does in so many books.

The emphasis is more on the main character experiencing his new existence and focusing on his main goal. The relationship things that happen and his own angst are peripheral to that which I like a lot. It makes this story more experiential than emotional. It works out very well for this tale.

The world in which the story takes place develops with the book and even though there is some complexity there, it is not overwhelming or confusing. Well, it is a bit confusing in a couple of areas, but I just went with it figuring it will become clear later in the story.

The book ends on a perfect note, with the adventures of this first book complete and the setup for the next book right there encouraging the reader to grab the next book to find out what happens to everyone!

Gripping, riveting story line and superb narration

Miles Rozak has done it again with another thrilling listen! I have been a fan of Rozak for some time now with this edge-of-your-seat gripping action space thrillers. Starship Found, Child Missing is a book that grabs you from the start and won’t let go. I have already read the Kindle version, but I really wanted to hear it, as well. The narration is outstanding, with narrator Tom Taylorson, who has also done Peacemaker Wars and Blackout Invasion. He really captures the different characters well, and certainly the emotions of the story line. The basic question is: What will one former marine due to get is kidnapped son back? Answer: Anything. Even if he has as resources a questionable character named Tess, who is a brilliant surgeon, and saves sone Ollie right at the outset. Even if all his assets are gone, including his go bag. Even if his aging service dog, Maggie, gets a new lease on life. Even if everything and everyone he knows are all gone. Ollie is still out there, and he will stop at nothing to get him back. This is a heart-stopping thriller of a military SF story that is brilliantly produced and written. I would seriously recommend this book to anyone. Take the walk of a desperate parent who can and will do anything to get his missing beloved son back, right up to his last breath. The fact that Earth, time, and everything are gone won’t stop him. You really don’t want to miss this one!
