Story
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: 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.

Story
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.

Story
There is a personal price to pay for having aligned with the wrong side in a reckless war. For Aden Jansen it's the need to adopt a new identity while keeping his past hidden. Now he's integrated himself aboard the Zephyr, a merchant ship smuggling critical goods through dangerous space. But danger is imminent on planet Gretia, as well. Under occupation, torn between postwar reformers and loyalists, it's a polestar for civil unrest.

Story
Our universe is ruled by physics, and faster-than-light travel is not possible - until the discovery of The Flow, an extradimensional field we can access at certain points in space-time that transports us to other worlds, around other stars. Humanity flows away from Earth, into space, and in time forgets our home world and creates a new empire, the Interdependency, whose ethos requires that no one human outpost can survive without the others. It's a hedge against interstellar war - and a system of control for the rulers of the empire.

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.

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.

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.

Fine...but he didn't have to work all that hard...
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

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.

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.

Not worth the 6 bucks I paid
Narrator was fine, just not a very original nor very interesting story. Predictable, seemed much shorter than the advertised book length. I enjoy the full length books in this series much more.
