I'm a raw cadet at the tough Warrior Academy on Haden. I've made it this far. . . barely. I know I just survived the assassination attempts by the alien pirates - authorized BY MY parents, the Emperor and Empress of the galactic Hoganthan Empire, but puleeeze, really? They had my brother sign the death decree? Really? And now, the only place I'm safe - uh, yeah, that IS a relative term - is the Warrior Academy as a rank, raw, untested cadet - the only place the House elites have limited reach. Well, yeah, but that doesn't stop them from trying to reach across space and kill me there, too. I...

Promising to return to the 55 Tauri B system after completing a distant mission, they leave the twentieth century castaways with a daunting objective.

Not a fan of the Virtual.
The story was good but I feel like I missed something, I don't know it this book is part of a series is metioned but it refered to passed events like we should already know the history.
The Virtual reading was flat with no personality. The narrator voice didn't match the character and it made it hard to really get into the story. That Virtual might be better for a history, or biography or something else without different characters or that does need emotions to be expressed. I don't think I'd buy a book 2 for this story with Virtual voice.
