Book description
Imagine your headphones becoming your escape hatch. That's exactly what happens when you press play on Stranded, the explosive first chapter of A.K. DuBoff's Starship of the Ancients series. You're not just reading about Evan, the ex-soldier whose quiet retirement shatters when his transport ship explodes overhead-you feel that sonic boom through your speakers. The narrator doesn't just tell you he's stranded; you hear the ragged gasps of panic, the crunch of alien foliage underfoot as Evan and the sharp-witted xenobiologist Anya race through a planet that feels alive and hostile.
This isn't just space opera-it's a heartbeat-racing, can't-put-it-down thriller. DuBoff masterfully weaves survival tension with ancient mystery: why did the colony mission fail? Why are they not alone? Every rustle in the undergrowth, every flicker of light from a hidden relic, makes your pulse jump. The audiobook's pacing? Perfect. Short, urgent sentences crackle like static in your ears during chase scenes, while quieter moments-like Anya analyzing strange crystal formations-feel intimate, almost whispered. You lean in, because you know the next line could be the clue that saves them.
And the best part? DuBoff's world-building never slows the action. You learn about the Cadicle Universe's lore through the tension-not in info-dumps. When Evan's military instincts kick in, you hear the shift in his voice, the way he weighs risks while dodging a predator's shadow. You'll find yourself nodding along, thinking, Yep, I'd trust him with my life too.
If you've ever craved a sci-fi adventure that feels real-where the planet breathes, the stakes are life-or-death, and every twist hits like a fist to the chest-this is your next obsession. DuBoff doesn't just write a book; she crafts an experience you'll replay in your mind long after the final chapter. The mystery of that ancient starship? It's already got you hooked.
So don't just imagine surviving an alien world. Live it. Press play. Your next favorite audiobook adventure is waiting-and it's already got millions of listeners screaming, "More!" Grab Stranded now. Your headphones won't regret it.

ListenBook's support for playlists in the CUE format makes organizing and enjoying audiobook series a delightful experience.
