Publisher's Summary
What would you do if you found a spaceship? Would you call the government, would you pretend you never saw it, or would you keep it a secret? What would you do with it? Use it to gallivant around the galaxy, conquer Earth, get filthy rich, or try to improve life on Earth? Listen along and find out how Marc works to convert Earth into a spacefaring world capable of defending itself and of being united as it meets the other civilizations in the galaxy. He and his brother start planning their next steps, but the one they don’t know how to prepare for is the arrival of Marc’s 12-year-old daughter. She comes to spend the summer with her father. She’s very smart and extremely curious.
Marc and his crew need to accomplish all this without tipping off the US government and before the Paraxeans come looking for their spaceship. But they have help, the ship’s AI is on their side, and she’s smart.
Starship Sakira is the first book in the exciting new adventure series Delphi in Space.
Editorial Review
Marc, a struggling scientist, hits the jackpot when he comes across an abandoned but fully functional spaceship in an underwater cave. Helped by his brother and his 12-year-old genius daughter, he tries to leverage Starship Sakira’s technology in anticipation of the aliens’ return. The fate of the Earth is in his hands. As the first instalment of Bob Blanton’s Delphi in Space series, Starship Sakira sets the foundation for several more books by introducing listeners to the McCormacks and their quest of galactic proportions. When he unintentionally becomes the captain of the starship, Marc gains control of its superintelligent computer. With its help, he develops technologies never-before-seen on Earth, as he attempts to bring major changes to the world, and all the while keep everything hidden from the government. Fans of science fiction will find themselves wondering if, in Marc’s shoes, they would do the same. Jessica Gurd’s calm tone and assured pace sets the mood of this science fiction story perfectly; an impressive feat, as much of the audiobook is composed of Marc’s internal monologues and dialogues between the characters.

A fun first novel in the series.
What if you found an abandoned Space ship at the bottom of the ocean? How would you start sharing the technology with the world without causing WW3?
This is one of those books that deals with political and economic issues in a fun way.
Not too deep or too complicated, you will not get mired in detail.
