About this listen

This may be Victory’s eeriest voyage yet as the starship plunges into a bizarre nebula of weird compacted gases. They’re hunting for Valerie Noonan, last seen at the destroyed Adok homeworld searching for survivors.

The nebula holds dark secrets, ones that fight back with mass hypnosis and heavy lasers, seeking the crew’s enslavement and worse. Maddox desperately needs his new intuitive sense and fighting skills as he negotiates the treacherous space reefs, alien deceit, and sinister technology. And he risks everything for what his AI companion Galyan desires most.

The Lost Nebula is book 16 in the Lost Starship series, a star-spanning saga of deadly space war and planetary battles as told by millions-best-selling author Vaughn Heppner.

A Journey of Intrigue and Discovery

As I embarked on the sixteenth instalment of the Lost Starship series, "The Lost Nebula," I found myself in awe of the vivid imagination that author Vaughn Heppner continues to infuse into this epic cosmic saga. This time, Starship Victory ventures into a perplexing nebula, setting the stage for what may be one of their most eerie and enigmatic voyages yet.

Reflecting on the journey that brought me here, I couldn't help but acknowledge the evolution of this series. From the desperate battles against the New Men to the revelation of ancient secrets, the previous books have woven a rich tapestry of interstellar conflict and discovery. The stakes have been raised with each installment, and "The Lost Nebula" doesn't disappoint in upholding that tradition.

The nebula itself becomes a character in its own right, shrouded in a veil of compacted gases that exude an uncanny sense of otherworldly mystery. The parallels to the previous journeys of Captain Maddox and his crew are striking. Each adventure, while unique in its setting and challenges, carries the common thread of facing the unknown, both within themselves and in the cosmos around them.

As the crew sets out on a mission to locate the missing Valerie Noonan, last seen amidst the ruins of the Adok homeworld, they quickly find themselves ensnared in a web of dark secrets. The nebula fights back with an arsenal of unconventional weapons, from mass hypnosis to relentless laser attacks, testing the crew's mettle and their ability to navigate the treacherous unknown.

Maddox's growth as a character shines through as he faces these challenges head-on. His newly developed intuitive sense and sharpened fighting skills become crucial tools in his quest for survival. Looking back at his journey from a battle-hardened captain to a complex and multidimensional leader, I can't help but appreciate the character development that has spanned the series.

Yet, amidst the cosmic chaos and alien treachery, there's a poignant undercurrent tied to Maddox's AI companion, Galyan, whose desires add another layer of depth to the narrative. This theme resonates with echoes of the past, where the relationships between humans and AI have been a recurring motif, evolving alongside the overarching story.

In "The Lost Nebula," Heppner continues to showcase his prowess in crafting a star-spanning saga. The book skillfully merges themes of space warfare, cosmic discovery, and interpersonal dynamics. The nebula itself serves as a metaphorical canvas for the unknown, and I found myself both fascinated and challenged by the intricate layers of the story.

In conclusion, "The Lost Nebula" delivers an engaging and thought-provoking journey. As the crew of Victory grapples with the nebula's enigmas and their own growth, readers are treated to a blend of suspense, action, and the enduring spirit of exploration that defines the series. Despite a few minor reservations, this installment maintains the series' tradition of capturing the imagination and leaves me eager to explore further into the cosmic unknown, reflecting on the overarching narrative that has brought us to this point.

God bothering and a tad fascist in places

An ok story and easier to follow than recent editions. But the writer is increasingly adding god into the story and a belief the heroes are group of really nice Fascists. while this is a bit silly to hear, i would prefer the female crew to gain some depth of character, as they little more than blonde with nice breasts when described 🙂.
