Publisher's summary

What would you do if you found a spaceship? Would you call the government, would you pretend you never saw it, or would you keep it a secret? What would you do with it? Use it to gallivant around the galaxy, conquer Earth, get filthy rich, or try to improve life on Earth? Listen along and find out how Marc works to convert Earth into a spacefaring world capable of defending itself and of being united as it meets the other civilizations in the galaxy. He and his brother start planning their next steps, but the one they don’t know how to prepare for is the arrival of Marc’s 12-year-old daughter. She comes to spend the summer with her father. She’s very smart and extremely curious.

Marc and his crew need to accomplish all this without tipping off the US government and before the Paraxeans come looking for their spaceship. But they have help, the ship’s AI is on their side, and she’s smart.

Starship Sakira is the first book in the exciting new adventure series Delphi in Space.

A interesting and entertaining read

Really enjoyed this book and am looking forward to the next volume. Plan to download today.

well book is good at least.

the book its self is fun and i enjoyed it. but the darn narrator sounds like someone told her to be monotone the whole time.

Great story

However, narrator sounds stilted, even a slight English accent in some places, which is inconsistent with the story.

This title should be categorized “for teenagers “

This series is juvenile. I would have probably liked it when I was 14. It also places the USA as the bad guy, at least in the early stages. That may have changed later in the series after I quit reading. I didn’t know that it would bother me until I starting to read this series. I guess I just want my country to be the good guys.

boyaa

love this audio book can't wait to listen to the rest of them as soon as I can

Wow!! I’m so glad I discovered this book

What a wonderful start to what promises to be a thrilling, imaginative space fantasy. I had never heard of this author or this series until I stumbled upon it in audible.. what a wonderful surprise to discover another great science fiction series. The last time I felt like this was when I first read the works of Joel Shepherd. anyway, this is an amazing story with characters that you grow to care about, An intriguing premise, an exciting storyline founded only by the authors, seemingly limitless imagination. I downloaded the second book of the series before I finishedthis one as I didn’t want to waste a moment continuing the story.. Look no further for great Science Fiction just buy this book and get to reading and enjoyinga fun exciting and wild ride. Oh, and by the way, I read in some of the reviews criticisms about the narrator.. let me setthis issue to rest— I absolutely love the narration. Her voice matched perfectly the story and the characters, especially the AI named Addie, listening to her smooth velvet narration was as comforting and enjoyable as a cup of organic hot chocolate sipped by a glowing fireplace during a far northern blizzard. I’m sorry, but I’ve got to go. I have to start the second book now, right now! Peace and good reads to you fellow reader

Every kids dream come true! To save the world...

This book starts off with a phenomenal plot and perspective, brothers are thrust into the most important position in human history, they can either squander it or save the world, and they choose to save the world, it brings to the forefront, every adults most impassioned dreams that were dreamt as children, it was a pleasure to read, I love Addie, the whole book really puts some intriguing concepts into ones head, so cool, well done, bravo!

Hook line and sinker

This book hooked me fast, love it, this is shaping up to be a good series

I’m not sure?

I almost returned this book after the first thirty minute but got a phone call and was distracted for a couple of hours before starting again. I’m not sure if my issue is with the narrator or the simply some of the dialogue. However, I finally got interested and look forward to the next book.

Fun story, poor narration.

This is a fun, sci-fi story, but the narration really detracts from being able to enjoy it! Most of it is not far from being a monotone. I will probably listen to the other books, but not right away, I guess just hoping they would change narrators to someone better.
