By: Dan Bell

Narrated by: Sam Pardoe

For five hundred years the robot waited to encounter a human. When it finally did, it probably wished it was a different human.

Nelson Newman was destined to be the first person to set foot on Mars. Instead, he finds himself transported across the galaxy and pitched into a battle of wits against a ruthless enemy, who will do whatever it takes to safeguard their people and their power. If Nelson can’t figure out who his friends are, and how to get back home, then he has no hope of saving Earth.

Interesting Science Fiction Concept

This is the first book I have read by this author. I am looking forward to reading the next 2 books in the trilogy. Not being a Science fiction expert, I enjoyed and look forward to reading more.

An enjoyable and well-paced space opera

I enjoyed this more than I expected I would. I love supporting indie authors and found this book to be well-written and engaging. The story is intriguing and kept my interest and I was vested in the characters, who were believable and relatable. What states out as a visit to Mars to make history turns into an intergalactic adventure Nelson couldn't have expected. There are some interesting twists and plot developments and a good set up for the series with a satisfying ending in book one, which is nice.
