Tom Savage

By: Jaxon Reed

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

On a frontier planet, land is cheap. So is your life.

Tom Savage is intent on homesteading, and Phaethon is the newest planet open for colonization. Here, technology is lacking in many places. And for 200 credits, anyone can claim one square kilometer of prime farmland.

But Tom has a secret or two. He is not interested in farming crops, at least not at first. Tom wants to harvest pieces of Phaethon’s sun.

To do so will mean first reaching his stake out near the desert, surviving human predators along the way, bringing fugitives to justice, and dealing with the resident sand dragon population.

All in a day’s work for your local star farmer…

Great start to a new SciFi adventure series!

This book is fun. Free of foul language and sexual content, so safe for young readers/listeners. There are interesting new planet flora, robots, nano-bots, humans with cybernetic alterations, mystery and action. The storyline is easy to follow and keeps the reader/listener engaged.
I am not fond of AI narration, but, this particular AI voice was better than others I've listened to.

Nice little amateur story

It’s an ok story line not much to develop. The virtual narration sucks though. If your going to have it start and pause in strange places, at least do it like the Captain Kirk.

virtual voice is good

seemed a bit elementary, but I am a little bit masochistic, so I'm planning on listening to the whole series..... live long and prosper.

good space-opera

I prefer real narration, not a fan of AI. aside from that the audio book holds together pretty well bu also purchased the kindle ebook.

Space story with a Pioneer twist

I enjoyed Tom's bot assisted homesteading adventure. Riding horses through the countryside after arriving by interstellar spaceship came across as a natural state of affairs. I don't like "cliffhangers".. The story continues, but still presented a satisfactory conclusion.
