I made it 85 pages through this book before I DNF it. It had too many elements or errors I couldn't take anymore.
The MC is a man that has just left the military, and used his savings to buy a sizeable space ship that used to be a military cruiser or the like. It's been updated with hidden weapons, advanced drives, and is described like a cushy yacht at times. The crew is just the MC and his AI assistant, who is an illegal AI because it's an actual person uploaded. We spend the first 75 pages watching the MC do random and meaningless stuff, while also showing the author has problems with logic. At one point, the MC is docking his ship to pick up agricultural supplies. Before they can dock, the MC comments that he can "smell the fertilizer and organic stuff through the airlock seals". Umm, if you can smell stuff through the airlock seals, you are dead, because they aren't sealing.
So once we get past that meaningless stuff, the MC ventures out on a wild goose chase based on a rumor from a friend, and finds an asteroid that houses two tigress women and a super powered AI that is dying out. So that AI transfers its knowledge to the MC's ship AI, making it so it can hack through or deceive anything it encounters. And the two tigress women instantly bond with the MC as their savior, so zero effort on his part to get to know and romance them.
Low/no effort harems and bad logic are not a good combo, so I quit the book.

Did not finish
March 26, 2026Yeah I'm bored of the dense prose. It has potential but DNF
The story is pretty good. The setting and premise are good. The characters are even pretty good. I like a lot of the secondary worldbuilding. My main problem is that a certain amount of sloppy execution/writing and deus ex bullshit feel like they've been shoved into the text to allow for overly flowery prose. It does alright feeling poetic but it tends to bog down the flow quite a lot.
I'll probably finish. It's not bad. But there's a lot of continuity inconsistencies and other silly things that don't make sense. Ex: finding bug monsters on a ship that's been dead for a thousand years, then claiming the bug monsters have been waiting for someone to come and breach the command center, but also in the same paragraph saying the bug monsters are waiting inside the command center.
Not sure if I'm gonna finish yet, but a fifth in and I feel like I've got this thing's number. To sum up: This book is kind of ridiculous. It's trying to be all high handed and poetic about the many wonders of space, but also here's some big titty cat girls

Keep this story going
My nose was buried in this book from the beginning. The characters and the plot are wonderful, and the story kept moving along nicely. I loved how Ryan would give you the back story but do it a little at a time. Not taking 20 pages and loosing the momentum of the story. Am really hoping he continues this series

Nice story.
Is it formulaic .. Yes.
It is still good though.
The adult scenes fit, and are not too much
I like the growth of the group and how they work together.
An enjoyable book in my opinion.
