About this listen

Desmond McLaughlin was just getting through his life and trying to survive. A 9-5 job and a hobby that cost more than it earned left him just enough money to afford a crappy apartment and time to dream of something better. He was expecting to spend most of his life like this.

He hadn’t expected to be greeted by a CIA agent waiting inside his house one evening. He wasn’t expecting that CIA agent to tell him that he was being drafted for a special mission. And he really wasn’t expecting to basically get kidnapped.

But most of all, he wasn’t expecting to be told two important things. One, aliens were out there. And two, they wanted to take him as the first of the locals drafted from his planet to go to one of the few super-dreadnought class starships in the Hegemony and learn magic.

Join Desmond as he learns to manipulate mana—a source of power that exists beyond the reach of most people in the universe—meets vastly different alien species, risks life and limb, all while trying to pass classes. If he’s lucky, he will find someone he can trust out here amongst the weird. If he's very lucky, maybe someone he can love.

thus is a fantasy series with heavy science fiction elements or the other way around possibly. it's fun. the characters are interesting and the romance plot is sweet. takes its time developing both the main characters and i enjoyed the journey. the main male character is likeable and kind. the main female is strong sweet and protective. I am looking forward to book 2 and its already out!

There are two many words and too few meanings behind them. Get ready to be transported to Hogwarts in space, but instead of interesting situations and conflict, you get classroom exposition and arbitrary tedium.

I quit after eight hours. I just couldn't take another meaningless scene, even listening for background noise. Maybe it gets better after EIGHT HOURS.

Too many, too few
