Earth's First StarFighter

Advancement Science Fiction

By: Han Yang

Narrated by: Matt Hicks, Allie Piper

Aliens ripped a hole above Earth, arriving with a massive space station. I sorta figured we'd be enslaved to fight in their wars or exterminated for our resources. Nope. The hip-high Iglax were merchants with ugly squished faces and thick blue fur. While they weren't much to look at, they sure did have some wonderous technology.

Humanity bent over backwards to appease our new merchant overlords. The boorish aliens wanted cheap labor for precious metals, and honestly, I didn't blame anyone for their hunger to be among the stars.

For certain rare metals or special gems, they'd trade tech we could only fathom as magic. Me, I pawned a few things, made some money, then hunkered down to study to prove my worth.

The aliens tested humans on an individual basis for miner rentals. Do well on your pilot test, get a spaceship, sign up with a corp, and you can mine the belt. For a puddle-jumper pilot like me, yeah, I was so interested I became obsessed. When I finally tested, I performed above and beyond, being offered a contract for some better than a miner - Earth's First Starfighter.

Warning: Morally gray MC. There's no graphic sex or harem. No stats, straight Sci-Fi first person space-shooter progression.

Loved this story

I hope Han Yang continues this series, it concluded well, it could easily be a stand alone book but the door was left cracked open for more. The characters we amazing and The world building was so well done, the universe is vast yet I never felt bogged down with useless system information that wasn’t real acne to the story. Lastly Matt and Allie rocked it. Really amazing performances from them.

Han Yang is Dang Good

*Reviceved free copy in exchange for an honest review*

When I first seen this I was a little hesitant because it's not the genre LitRPG or GameLit. This book is straight Sci-Fi Fantasy but anything written by Han Yang I have to read! Still such a great storyteller and always has nice character development. If you want a break from LitRPG, pick up this book and enjoy.

Amazing book one

This was a great space adventure with a good mix of both combat and story/world building and the character made you really want to root for them I absolutely loved book one and hope there are many more to come

Sci-fi adventure and humor

Received as an audio review copy from Story Origin, this is an honest review. Narrated by Matt Hicks and Allie Piper, both truly capture the wicked humor and adventure the authors wrote into the book. Everything for Darius from Tennessee changes the moment aliens show up up on Earth's doorstep and alter humanity's future; and for Darius mastering his pilot's test gets him into the stars, mining and making back the huge debt he took on before any profit Darius can pocket. Surviving in every job and even getting several intense battles in against other aliens; Darius discovers humanity was never alone in the universe and even finding friends and little love in a story that will have you laughing and intrigued.


Highly recommended.

Awesome!

Great story that has so much potential. The narration is spot on with both voices, but especially the male voice. His voice suits the MC to a “T” and it really adds to the story. I highly recommend this book and look forward to the second one coming out on audible.
