Story4 out of 5 stars 20
Earth's armed forces have stopped the Lanky advance and chased their ships out of the solar system, but for CDC officer Andrew Grayson, the war feels anything but won. On Mars, the grinding duty of flushing out the twenty-meter-tall alien invaders from their burrows underground is wearing down troops and equipment at an alarming rate. And for the remaining extrasolar colonies, the threat of a Lanky attack is ever present.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 7
The alien forces known as the Lankies are gathering on the solar system's edge, consolidating their conquest of Mars and setting their sights on Earth. The far-off colony of New Svalbard, cut off from the rest of the galaxy by the Lanky blockade, teeters on the verge of starvation and collapse. The forces of the two Earth alliances have won minor skirmishes but are in danger of losing the war.

Mars has been under Lanky control for more than a year. Since then, the depleted forces of Earth's alliances have rebuilt their fleets, staffing old warships with freshly trained troops.

Story4 out of 5 stars 24
The year is 2108, and the North American Commonwealth is bursting at the seams. For welfare rats like Andrew Grayson, there are only two ways out of the crime-ridden and filthy welfare tenements, where you’re restricted to 2,000 calories of badly flavored soy every day. You can hope to win the lottery and draw a ticket on a colony ship settling off-world, or you can join the service. With the colony lottery a pipe dream, Andrew chooses to enlist in the armed forces for a shot at real food, a retirement bonus, and maybe a ticket off Earth.

Good story but 5 bucks for 33 minutes is just wrong
It's a short story with no relevance to the plot line. The other books are priced very reasonable but I feel cheated for paying more than a dollar for this.

Don't waste your money
Someone should be ashamed of charging money for this short story. If this were scripted into a movie scene it might get 5 minutes of screen time--if it didn't hit the cutting room floor first.

It's a short story
it's slightly frustrating to buy it thinking that you're getting the next book in the series when you're actually getting a short story that is almost the same price as the books

Good story but overpriced
This should have cost maybe $3.00, it's a good story but very short, I definitely wouldn't use an audible credit on it.

Should Have Been Free
What disappointed you about Lucky Thirteen?
33 minutes is not a book. It was more like a short, very short, story.
Has Lucky Thirteen turned you off from other books in this genre?
no
What does Nicol Zanzarella bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
The reader was good.
Any additional comments?
Book should have been free because it was short to short to sell for 1 credit.

Do NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY....
What disappointed you about Lucky Thirteen?
uh, 33 minutes for the same price as 2 plus hours
What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)
It's over?
Did Nicol Zanzarella do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?
Fine...but he didn't have to work all that hard...
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
Anger...33 mins? Seriously?

Not a full book. Only 30 minutes of content.
Absolutely not worth $5 or a credit. I will be returning this and asking for a refund.

Feel good story - but overpriced at $6.00
This is a classical western faithful horse/companion story set in the 22nd century. Lucky 13 is Lt. Halley's first drop ship and it has a well earned bad reputation. If you have read any of the "Terms of Enlistment" series you will recognize Lt. Halley as Andrew Grayson's (the main character of the series - girl friend). She & 13 fly the unfriendly sky's and together they turn the ships bad reputation around on it's tail fins.
This is an enjoyable story but at 33min for $6. it is a bit of a disappointment. Sort of like the epipen price gouging. If is was a third of going price - say $1.95 I would be happy and not feel as if I had been abused.

A will written and performed story
But, just 33 minutes? That's really not worth a full credit or a fifteen word review
