Inherited Revenge

By: James Haddock

Narrated by: Daniel Wisniewski

Chuck, a 15-year-old hardened war orphan has seen friends killed, and now lies dying on a salvage battlefield himself. But the universe has a different plan for Chuck. A mortally wounded man offers to save his life, and Chuck accepts his help. A moment later, Chuck regrets his decision, when his rescuer forces Chuck’s mouth open and a reptilian octopus is ejected from his rescuer’s mouth and into his.

Because of Chuck’s symbiote, Tom’s desire for revenge, Chuck finds himself drawn into a shadow war with an alien race. Chuck must hide from the aliens, because they would rather burn the planet to a cinder than let Tom escape. He must also hide from the government, because they want Tom’s knowledge of advanced tech and will do anything to get it.

Chuck has a few advantages: Tom’s DNA has mixed with his, giving him access to genetic memories; Tom’s race is aquatic, which gives Chuck the ability to breathe underwater; and no one knows Tom is a symbiote, so no one is actually looking for Chuck.

Chuck is content to hide in plain sight as a salvager, until someone kills his new family while trying to kill him. Now all bets are off as Chuck is on a search-and-destroy mission looking for those responsible. He uses every piece of war salvage he must to find and kill them. Inherited revenge or not, revenge will be had.

A commanding character

Technical data preciseness and attention to detail ,
It kept me into the story, great book.

nothing ruins a great story like a crappy ending

have read and thoroughly enjoyed most of James haddock's books. this one was no different until the ending.

Maybe a prequel would be good for this story.

I wonder about writer's that give their main character all the advantages, all the power, all the magic?
The story felt rushed, I like Haddock's other magic stories, but this seemed like 20 years footnoted into 6 months.

great listen

great book loved the characters hope there will be a part 2 much better Ai book than others

Good story with sad ending.

This was an excellent story sometimes fast pace, sometimes slow, but overall not bad. It did, however, have a sad ending, but that in itself was very realistic.
