About this listen
Power, politics, and intergalactic war...Admiral Stone just wanted to retire.
Xenophobia and itchy trigger fingers nearly ended the Sol Alliance. War—avoidable yet inevitable—ensued with the Arcoenum, an exotic alien species with overwhelming mental abilities. The Alliance survived thanks to the quick thinking of a brash, young starship officer, Nick Stone.
A half-century of peace followed, and Stone spends the rest of his life reluctantly accepting the endless accolades of a grateful humanity. Now, at 75, he’s not only ready to retire—he’s desperate to.
“S-O-S. All ships and stations. My name is Alice Keller....”
When a distress call goes out from Drake’s World, newly elected Alliance President Piers Bragg pressures Stone into one final mission: Rescue the young girl marooned on the planet, then sail triumphantly into retirement.
But when Alice demonstrates amazing psychokinetic abilities, everything changes. And Bragg will stop at nothing to exploit her abilities as he prepares for a war of revenge against what's left of the Arcoenum.
The Expanse meets Star Trek in this military science fiction epic from award-winning author Chris Pourteau. How many times can we forget the lessons of history…before history decides to forget us?

The ship survived, but over time the original crew died out. Their children were left to continue the fight for their home against their sworn enemy, the vicious alien Malibor. They’ve lived their whole lives in space. Their idea of heaven is open air, blue skies, and the quiet of peace. But they'll never have that if they don't take it by force.

awesome first book!!
great world building, interesting characters, cool plot. grand admiral stone just wants to retire, but the political body sends him and his grandson Ben out to Drake's world to rescue a young girl named Alice. Alice it turns out exhibits certain powers that aren't dissimilar to an alien species that humanity was at war with 50 years prior, and to this day are sketchy AF, and aren't too be trusted. there are nefarious players who want to poke and prod Alice to see how her brain ticks, but Nick Stone thinks otherwise. I'm looking forward to book 2 now. Garrett Brown does an amazing job narrating. oh yeah, and what's up with the creepy crawlies in the caves of Drake's world, looking forward to find out more

Political thriller that is not good
This book is a political thriller masquerading as military Sci-Fi. Nor is a good political thriller. The plot is see through and has so much contrivances that keep the main character from being put up against a wall. This is a meh book at best.
