About this listen

A silver pyramid in space 10,000 years old....

The secrets of the mysterious New Men....

A war like no other....

Starship Victory - Earth's ancient, alien spacecraft - has won a smashing victory against the New Men, driving them from "C" Quadrant. On their way home, Captain Maddox and his crew run into a vast machine trapped inside an ion storm. Maddox doesn't know it yet, but the meeting isn't an accident. There's a traitor aboard ship, implementing a secret plan, threatening to destroy everything Star Watch has achieved against the New Men.

Now begins a deadly race as Captain Maddox, the crew, and Galyan are pitted against the masters of a centuries-old conspiracy. Human existence lies in the balance.

The Lost Destroyer is the third book in the Lost Starship series.

With its blend of compelling characters and intricate science fiction elements, this installment continues to captivate readers.

The narrative picks up after the victory against the New Men, with Captain Maddox and his crew encountering a mysterious machine within an ion storm. Unbeknownst to them, a traitor lurks among them, threatening the hard-won progress made against the New Men. As the story unfolds, a web of conspiracy spanning centuries is revealed, thrusting Maddox, his crew, and allies into a race against time to save humanity.

One of the standout features of "The Lost Destroyer" is the author's ability to balance engaging characters with intricate science fiction concepts.

Would you try another book written by Vaughn Heppner or narrated by Mark Boyett?

Yes, I will certainly go through this series of books, though not a match for Bobverse or Expeditionary force series.

Would you recommend The Lost Destroyer to your friends? Why or why not?

Yes, but not the best character depth.
With this book and the next one too, situations seem to have come out of nowhere.
A huge death ship not referenced to before and so quickly brought into play, I felt I had missed a book or a few chapters.

What about Mark Boyett’s performance did you like?

Well narrated, if a bit flat, must avoid doing Scottish accents, as it then becomes all rather corny.

Did The Lost Destroyer inspire you to do anything?

Continue with this series until more expeditionary books are written :-)

Good, if a bit out of nowhere
