Scion of Conquered Eart (Scion #1 of the serie)
An alien force has descended upon Earth. Fighters bombard the ruins. Monsters hunt the wastes – some humans serving the Welorin in order to indulge their petty cruelties. The last free survivors struggle against starvation and capture. It’s a world where friendship costs too dearly and heroics verge on suicide.
One young man simply can’t resist either. Welorin torture machines ravage his world, filling it with literal nightmares. Cannibalistic aerobics instructors hunt him and snatcher teams dog his every step. Alaric attempts one rescue after another, hoping someone might possess keys to unlock memories stolen by the initial assault.
An aborted rescue lands him in a three way fight between Welorin forces and interstellar raiders. He takes cover in the pirates’ ship, coercing its AI, Cassii, into helping him. Success comes with unexpected consequence as Cassii abandons her crew, his friends and Earth’s solar system.
Cassii refuses to return to Earth, decrying her former captain’s despoiling of the ship’s weapons and armor. Alaric leverages goods stolen from Earth by Cassii’s former crew into a bid at privateering. Surrounded by tech he barely understands and exotic life forms, he’s easy prey for the Protectorate’s mercenary population.
Escort Captain Manc Shepherd and the sultry pirate Tyne Ren – Manc’s onetime partner – manipulate, exploit and seduce him across the stars. Alaric’s perilous heroics complicate their tug-of-war, endangering both and Alaric’s ship – their intended prize.
Alaric must decide who he is, what he holds dear and how far he’ll go to protect both. He must choose who to trust: his mentor, his temptress or his smitten ship’s AI. The right choice could save worlds. The wrong one could throw him into a desperate battle to save thousands from his betrayer at the cost of his truest friend.
REVIEW : i will give it a 4/5 stars
The first few pages actually made me stop reading for a few days before I picked it back up again but once i managed to get through it was quite nice.
I was so impressed with how the author pulls you into the world of Alaric, and the rest of the crew.
And I found that though I enjoy sci-fi works and he wrote a great sci-fi book, I definitely enjoyed this work, too. drawn in to the story by the wriitng style and word choice even tho there was some mistakes but i didn't mind them as i'm used to reading fanmade translated books like the witcher serie from polish to english which contained REALLY alot of mistakes. I found myself unable to put the book down once I started, reading until the end because I was so caught up in the world. The characters came to life before my eyes "got how much i wanted to hit that hero, punch him in the face" ,The characters were all well developed, mostly believable.
Overall, the storyline was good, keeping me alarmed as i was despoiling in to the plot and continue reading to know what would happen next.
It keeps you on your toes at all times i have to admit that. One second you are screaming at the lead character to not be so stupid as i said before and the next you are praising him because yeah sometimes he wan't that dumb.
it's defenetly worth the shot especially if you love reading sci-fi books. you can get a copy from amazon, it's on promotion https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01EA1BUW6
