"Narrator Dan Bittner throws himself into this science-fiction adventure with the enthusiasm the story begs for...Bittner's narration is bold and declarative...his character voices are a treat." - AudioFile Magazine

In the tradition of Star Wars, comics writer Michael Moreci presents a galaxy-hopping space adventure about a galactic kingdom bent on control and the young misfit who must find the power within before itā€™s too late.


Cade Sura holds the future of the galaxy in his hands: the ultimate weapon that will bring total peace. He didnā€™t ask for it, he doesnā€™t want it, and thereā€™s no worse choice to wield it in all of space, but if he doesnā€™t, everyoneā€™s totally screwed. The evil Praxis kingdom is on the cusp of having every star system under its control, and if that happens, thereā€™ll be no contesting their cruel reign. Especially if its fanatical overlord, Ga Halle, manages to capture Cade and snag the all-powerful weapon for herself.

Cade canā€™t hide from Praxis, and he canā€™t run from the destiny thatā€™s been shoved into his hands. So he only has one option:

He has to fight.

Cadeā€™s not going to let destiny send him on a suicide run, though. With some help from his friendsā€”rebels and scoundrels alikeā€”Cadeā€™s going to use this weapon to chart a new destiny for the galaxy, and for himself.

He just has to do so before everyone around him discovers that heā€™s a complete and total fraud.

Blending the space operatics of Star Wars and the swagger of Guardians of the Galaxy, Black Star Renegades is an audiobook adventure that blasts its way from seedy spacer bars to sacred temples guarded by deadly creaturesā€”all with a cast of misfit characters who have nowhere to go and nothing to lose.

More praise for Black Star Renegades:

"Part 'Star Wars' homage, part unexpected coming-of-age novel...Moreci balances character with plot very well; the story moves at a brisk pace, and the frequent action sequences fit in well with the overall story." ā€” Los Angeles Times

"...character relationships, a sense of familial duty and a fast-paced narrative all make Renegades a worthwhile read." ā€” USA Today

"Narrator Dan Bittner throws himself into this science-fiction adventure with the enthusiasm the story begs for... Bittner's narration is bold and declarative, matching the story's rapid- fire pace and pushing the listener through exposition-heavy scenes. He also uses a light touch for the more humorous space-opera aspects. His character voices are a treat." -AudioFile Expand reviews
