Kickass sci-fi heroine versus deadly aliens
Growing up as a Martian on Earth has left Jas Harrington solitary, quick-tempered, and with zero tolerance for fools. All plus points when working as chief security officer aboard prospecting starships.
Jas' latest berth is aboard the Galathea, which trawls the reaches of the galaxy seeking precious minerals and rare resources. She thinks it's a routine trip. She's wrong.
An inspection of a far-flung planet leaves Jas suspicious that there's more to the place than meets the eye. If only she could convince the captain of the need for caution, but she might as well wish for a tasty meal in the ship's canteen.
When the captain disciplines Jas for insubordination, she has only two allies: a timid navigator and the second pilot, who has the hots for her. Not that Jas notices.
All hell breaks loose, and Jas' skills are put to the ultimate test. Can she enlist the help of the only two friends she has? She's in a race against time to prevent the aliens from achieving their goal: Generation.
If she fails, the ship's crew, the galactic empire, and humanity itself are at risk.
Generation is book one in the fast-paced, action-packed Shadows of the Void space opera.

Appreciate the effort put into the story. Character, technology, plot details are well thought out.

Posting an audiobook works. On my last trip to an extra large out of town bookstore I picked up a paperback from someone who had posted a short story on KZbin. Friends, trusted reviewers and KZbin are the ways I find new authors now.

Sorry I don't have an intelligent comment to leave. Thank you for the free audiobook, although English is my only language physically reading it for pleasure is beyond my abilities. Thumbs up.

Only in a few minutes but stopped to read the comments. Remarks are good. I think I'll take my time with this tale. Usually I set the speed faster to speed things up.

Who is the narrator? I know not a thing about this book. But I must admit that I’m enjoying because of the woman reading it. I intend to purchase the book to read for myself. In part because I want to discover if I will enjoy it as much. I would love to hear her read Dragonriders Of Pern and Shibumi.

That's really kind of you, but you won't find the audiobooks for sale in this format. They're published as three box sets: The Galathea Chronicles, The Earth Chronicles, and The Galactic Chronicles.

@@jjgreen1333 oh no I don't want the audio books lol I want the ebooks lol I'll listen to them at work through KZbin and buy them when I can. I ALWAYS buy the physical/ebook of any audiobook I like. Especially ever since I learned that many of the books I listened to on KZbin were not sanctioned by the author and they get 0 royalties. In this instance this is not the case but nonetheless if I like it I buy it to return the favor. (Ps, thank you for doing this on KZbin. You make a terrible job better to survive through lol)

Not just you, it’s nice she’s reading her own book but unfortunately I think it’s going to be tough for me to get through it.

[@bubbafrump74]

I have to ask... What sort of accent are you going for with Lee? I'm thinking it's American south? She sounds kinda like Forrest Gump. I'm honestly not trying to be offensive, it just makes me chuckle a bit, thinking about how often me and my friends quote Monty Python , and I wonder how that might sound to an actual Englishuman. (Like what I did there with the androgenous Englishman? Thinking I should copyright that one! 😏)

[@jjgreen1333]

Lol, so that's a long story. In short, yes it's supposed to be southern US but I know it's very shaky. When I wrote the Shadows of the Void series I never imagined I would be recording the audiobooks myself. The editor for that series is from Georgia, US, so I felt confident including a character from a similar area, knowing the editor could help with the correct turns of phrase, idioms and so on. Recording the books has been challenging. I lived in Australia for a time so I'm fine with that accent, but southern US? Not so much. Apologies if it's hard to listen to. No offence intended.

[@Asomii]

Although the story is just alright, with some things that annoyed me a lot (mostly first part of the novel; too much repetition of "pasha or sasha" when in the end it was Margaret (...); jazz "mental illness" arc or the way lobar was eaten by that mass (this noooo was hilarious), and wont be the something i will remember for long, due to way you publish audiobooks i will continue the journey, which otherwise i would end there. Who knows, maybe the plot and character developement will get better in next volumes. For now however this is 6+/10 (maybe 7-) story, not mainblowing, but not bad either.

Good story. High pitched voice. Throughout history any High pitch means "pay attention or die" If this writer becomes prevalent she will do so in print or by hiring a professional male reader. Thank you for the story. I will listen to it when I'm not likely to fall asleep. Please keep writing.

Now that I’m wakeful I will listen.

@@Diarmuhnd Yes my grandson is quite adept at reading. I've already discussed our preferences for a narrator so won't do so again.

Thank you for your concerns. Oh and rude. Ok. Should we meet in person I will issue strict orders for my entire family to molycoddle you. Note to non combatants: Are you learning the word Reparte ?
