About this listen
Nora Devi is a xeno-archaeologist with a complicated past.
She has buried more secrets than she’s dug up. Widowed in the recently ended twelve year war between Capitoline and Palantine, she now makes a living as an independent tagger in border space.
Captain Liam Kimani could be credited with ending the latest royal war. Instead, he’s blamed for it. Dirty commoners aren’t meant to lay their hands on royalty.
He has no regrets.
When Liam and his crew of the battlecruiser RC Genghis Khan are exiled to Capitoline’s border they discover that life in unexplored space can be more dangerous than war, and that their best chance of survival lies with a mysterious, elusive tagger.
The only problem is that Nora’s secrets might destroy the precarious stability of the entire Human Sector.
Astray is a fast-paced, enthralling space opera of lost societies, ancient aliens, rugged warriors and semi-legal pirates.

fantastic first book
I've been looking for a new series that gives me the same kind of enjoyment as David Weber's Homor Harrington. This is definitely it.

Great Space Opera!
I didn't see where this story was going and I loved it! the world building was slow, so I had questions at first, but they were all answered. I like the slow relationship building as well, and can't wait for the next one! If you enjoy Jessie Mihalik or Only Bad Options by Jennifer Estep, then you will enjoy this book too!!!

It had potential, but failed to deliver.
It was an interesting concept. There may have been some plan the AI companion had in intentionally throwing the MC into conflict, however the MC mentions multiple times that she has serious trust issues. She catches the AI misleading, manipulating and managing her several times, but... does nothing.
The romance was lack luster to the point where I wondered if the love interest was a false flag to introduce a better pairing.
The AI companion's limits, capabilities and intelligence are seemingly plot based and fluctuate chapter to chapter.
If its under $10.00 or you get a credit, take a look. Don't pay more then ten, though, just not worth it.
