Summary

Get all five books in the Star Scavenger Series for one low price. A massive 29 hours of thrilling space opera adventure with the mystery and action of Indiana Jones.

From book one:

Hudson Powell had always been a drifter, but after his father died, he vowed to turn his life around. He quit freelancing as a starship pilot and joined the Relic Guardian Force as a 38-year-old rookie.

That was a big mistake.

The RGF police the alien wrecks that have been found on every portal world discovered in the last century. They make sure the relic hunters pay taxes on the priceless alien tech they scavenge from the hulks. The snag is that the RGF is corrupt. And Hudson’s training officer Logan Griff is the worst scumbag of the lot.

Pushed over the edge, Hudson stumbles upon the exhilarating world of the relic hunters and meets the equally intoxicating and deadly mercenary Tory Bellona.

Cast out from the RGF, Hudson Powell chooses a new path. But the discovery of a unique alien crystal will set events in motion that cannot be undone. People stopped asking where the alien hulks had come from. People stopped asking who created the portals, and why.

Hudson will discover that some alien relics are best left buried. One decision can change the course of an entire civilization. One discovery can change your life.

If you love space sci-fi like Firefly and Stargate blended with the mystery and adventure of Indiana Jones, you’ll love the Star Scavenger series. Begin listening to this thrilling five-book saga today.

Critic reviews

"Readers looking for a wild west adventure that replaces horses with spaceships and frontier towns with dangerous, ghetto-like planets will find much to enjoy in Guardian Outcast." (Readers' Favorite, 5-Star Review)

Amazing story

If you are someone who has grow up with star wars/star trek with a hint of indiana jones and likes Sf genre i think this is the book for you.
The story is well written , its interesting from the start to the finish .
My most favorite part of the day has become my morning commute to my work since it meant i can listen to the book. At some point the story became so interesting that i had to find out whats gonna happen next so i continue to listen to the book even on my break time at work . After so many hours spent listening now that i'm finish with the book i wish that there is more books like this or that those 29h didn't flew so fast .
The book is also very well narrated.
I highly recommend this book as the story will keep you interested all the way till the end .

I enjoyed this series as a whole as I was looking for a good sci fi series to listen to. The interaction of the characters and the world building left me wanting to see what was going to happen next.

Strong world-building in entertaining series

From a value perspective, this book obviously delivers since it collects all five books in the series into a single audiobook, but obviously the series has to be an enjoyable one and thankfully that is the case with this one. Throughout the series, the author manages to strike a good balance between advancing the plot and growing the characters, while continuing with strong world-building that helps to draw in the reader further.

Some of the titles the author mentions in the summary include Stargate and Firefly and while the former felt more of a mechanical connection, I saw stronger links to the latter in terms of characterisation and world-building. Hudson shares a certain attitude with Mal Reynolds and Liberty, his sidekick, had traits of both Kaylee and River. However, some familiar elements does not mean that the characters were not distinctive enough in their own right as both them and a varied supporting cast helped to bring this series to life very effectively.

The performance of the narrator was a good one overall, with a varied range of tones for the extensive cast, the only one that disrupted my immersion somewhat was one character with a very monotone style, but even then that was how the author had written that character so it wasn't a negative of the performance itself.

Overall, this was an enoyable listen, but I found it worked even better for me once I started to treat it like individual books rather than just one long one, taking a slight break between them before returning for the next instalment.

Great sifi seris

Enjoyed the books from start to finish This is like a typical thurs night primetime seris. Great fun and easy to follow. No complex storylines, jist fun and exitment. The only slight thing was the start of the book the narrator voice was tiny and hard to listen to but the story quickly gripped you and you forgot or got used to it. Will defently be looking into other books by this auther.
