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.

I thoroughly enjoyed this. I’m a big fan of Daniel Schinhofen and Bruce Sentar, and this book just hits so well but so different. Except me, focused and entertained, even while working. Well, there are a couple of hiccups where words are repeated with the audio, it was phenomenally well written and well done.I cannot wait, for the rest of the series to come out on audible. As I’ll be snapping them up as soon as I become available

Entertaining and fun

From excellent narration to a compelling and interesting story with solid world building, this book and series has it all. The premise is hardly successfully touched(space wizards with guns), but it is done so well and draws you in so throughly that it leaves you wanting more!

Incredible story

I will start with saying reviews matter. I got this book because of the great reviews. Normally I am not a space fantasy person but this story was excellent the writing was excellent. Many things were out of my comfort zone but because of the narration the story and entire production was excellent I was very pleased getting book 2 now
