From bestselling author Saxon Andrew comes a story about all the things that make us human. Angle Barrett decides to buy a broken spaceship as a monument to his deceased wife. He had no idea that purchase would lead to repercussions that would shake the foundations of all the civilizations in the galaxy. All he wanted was to live in peace until he joined his wife. Instead, he is targeted by the most powerful civilization in the galaxy, and they will do anything to prevent a secret from coming out, even if it means destroying Earth in the process.

A Warship Named Sky-A Hero's Story is a story you won't forget. The twists and turns will catch you off guard and you'll be left wondering what is going to happen next.

Excerpt: A Warship Named Sky;

Whoever was there wasn’t speaking a language he ever heard. He stuck his head around the edge of the door and saw an alien waving their arms at the front of the ship as it talked loudly. He looked closer and saw that the alien was the same species as the one that came to look at his ship earlier, only this one was a female; That repairman must have contacted her immediately after he left. He thought about what to do and finally decided that he couldn’t just do nothing. He stepped inside the door and cleared his throat. The female alien whipped around holding something in her hand. He held both hands up as she lifted her arm and pointed some kind of device at him. He suddenly felt a presence in his thoughts as she smiled and pressed a button on the device that he could now clearly see was a weapon.

The story was great.

I hated the virtual voice. A perso who would read the story would put more emotion into the reading. it is rather dry listening to the virtual voice.

Great feel good story

It would be perfect, if the computer generated voice could change the tone and gender of the narration to match that of the characters.

Appropriate narration

This title is, in part, about a computer on a spaceship. The virtual narration fits the story perfectly.

I wouldn’t want this tour of narration for every title, not for every genre. But it fit well here.

Story nice but.

I enjoyed the story of heroic and wise actions but the virtual voice was not as good as a human narrator.

Short, sweet and to the point.

I speeded up the narrative a little and it flowed better. The story caught my interest from the first and kept it to the very end.
The Author kept the pace of the story complete and concise. (Spoiler alert) I cried when the hero died but the story concluded satisfactorily. I am going to recommend this story to my space fantasy friends to read. A definite keeper.

Worth a listen

Although it felt a little rushed at times, the story was enjoyable and compelling.

The virtual voice was...ok...I can't help but feel that it would have been a more enjoyable read had it been voiced by a human.

Great story

Great story, virtual voice wasn’t all that good but the story was worth it. Great twist in the story and the ending was really good.

I Suspect I Would Like it More W/O Virtual Voice

I enjoyed the story and the unbelievable successes of Angle would probably be easier to accept with better delivery. The virtual voice did detract from my enjoyment of the book. The story is especially unique and not like much I have heard or read. How the author hold some information back till key points reminds me of Asimov's stories. Definitely worth a listen especially once the narrator is a person (and it is presumably no longer free).
