My Buddy Gave Me a Starship
Mitch has a problem. His buddy has been hiding a starship from him.
Mitch’s mediocre life has just taken a turn for the worse, so his buddy tries to cheer him up by showing him a secret starship. Unfortunately, everything goes south when hostile aliens arrive. In an effort to save his buddy and the starship from the aliens, Mitch does the obvious he accidentally warps hundreds of light-years away.
Marooned in a distant star cluster, Mitch is forced to deal with a snarky teenage AI, a rogue auto-pilot, and a beautiful alien soldier who’s ready to steal his ship at any moment—so she can fight an oppressive military faction, of course.
Will Mitch simply use the starship to return home? Or will his attractive, though slightly frustrating, new co-pilot convince him to help the struggling Resistance movement?

Wasted potential
This could have been a great story! The characters started ok, the plot started semi believable. The universe was... Boring and bland... But it could have gotten better as things went along.
It didnt.
The whole thing was janky, and jarring. The characters constantly went through repetitive identical interactions and thoughts, with no change or progress until like the last ten pages, and even then it was minimal.
The number of times the author had the characters or universe suddenly do things that made no sense AT ALL, just because they decided all of a sudden a certain plot needed to happen, was quite frustrating. Also, the repetitive "Look we found a trick or advantage over the antagonists! ..... Oh no, the antagonists magically figured out our trick and either perfectly countered it, or took it over for themselves?! Oh no whatever will we do?!" Over and over and over again, was. EXTREMELY frustrating. It's not entertaining, it doesn't build suspense, it's not interesting. Stop it. Do it ONCE, if you do it at all. I can't emphasize enough, how awful and annoying this was.
The universe was... Flat. Boring. Every side character, and race, and planet, was basically the same. The whole thing could have been done on one planet without any starships, and basically been the same, universe wise.
I don't really recommend reading this, but I dunno. YMMV?

I received a copy of this book for free and am leaving this review voluntarily.
With a title like this one, there is no way I could resist reading.
My Buddy Gave Me A Starship is a space opera from the lighter side. But it isn’t all fun and games when characters play in the backdrop of deep space meeting alien species both friendly and malicious. The tale is packed full of action and adventure to keep a reader on the edge of their seat. The characters are believable, and it isn’t difficult to relate to their plight. I was pulled in right from the opening page and the pace of the story ramps up quickly. The world-building is also excellent, and the reader will see numerous vistas, both beautiful and menacing.
I found this book quite refreshing after reading a lot of serious sci-fi. It runs the full gamut of emotion, and one cannot help but love most of the characters while deploring a few others.
The story opens with a man named Mitch, who goes to work one morning and is greeted by his supervisor, who apologetically dismisses him. He seems to have made a costly mistake involving a project he worked on.
So, Mitch does what any down on his luck guy would do. He heads to his favorite diner and orders a large bowl of ice cream to drown his sorrows. Mitch’s lifelong friend, Gabe, sits down with him and says he has something he is sure will cheer him up. After a short drive, Gabe opens his barn to reveal a starship parked inside! Gabe explains how he found the ship and how he has been making repairs and upgrades.
To say it cheered Mitch up would be a gross understatement. Mitch is astounded and wants to take a flight. Gabe promises they will do a flight test the next day.
Like a kid who is headed to his first professional baseball game, Mitch arrives at Gabe’s place to find a small group of people in commando gear preparing to take the ship for themselves. Then he discovers Gabe has been severely injured in his encounter with the commandos. So, Mitch does what anyone would do in such a situation. He gets onto the ship, belts himself into the pilot’s seat, and orders the onboard AI to take the ship rapidly “anywhere but here.”
The AI complies by transporting the ship a distance of six-hundred light years in the blink of an eye. And that’s only the beginning!
The tale is heavily character driven. Too much information would spoil the story.
Mitch is a human who finds himself unemployed until he finds his best friend has been wounded by commandos who want the ship Gabe has found. His aim is to find justice for Gabe.
Tera is Mitch’s artificially intelligent companion, modeled on a fifteen-year-old snarky female. She helps Mitch learn to run the ship, but is sometimes hesitant to share important information until the last minute. Her personality often causes Mitch just a bit of frustration and drives the humor in the story.
Vrynn is an alien female who wants the ship to fight in a conflict with an oppressive organization. She becomes a valuable aid to Mitch as well as depending on him for help.
My favorite point of plot in My Buddy Gave Me A Starship is the interaction between the characters. They all have goals and help each other try to realize them. The humorous banter between them is priceless! I think this is where the author really shines in his writing. It is through the principal character’s interactions that the story unfolds as we also get to know them. It is hard not to care about them and their plight.
My takeaway from this tale is to remember no matter how bad things seem, stay optimistic. The closing of one door may lead to the opening of another, which might lead to the adventure of a lifetime.
While the trope in My Buddy Gave Me A Starship is an old, well-worn one, and Myles Christensen has given it a fresh treatment, and it is eminently entertaining, engaging, and a whole lot of fun. The characters have depth inspiring the reader to care for and root for their success. The backdrops are well fleshed out and full of interesting variety. The writing is clear, and the tech is easy to understand. This is a great opening to a series of stories, and I look forward to future installments. The story is complete in itself and I loved the great plot twist at the end!

Pretty good!

I really enjoyed this book. It had me laughing and rolling my eyes at times due to Mitch but he gave me a great story. Mitch begins the book having a bad day being fired from his job then finds out his friend found a star ship in his back field. Then Mitch ends up flying for his life and things get even more interesting. Mitch flies to new worlds, meets interesting characters, and works to figure everything out. Ok and there is the Resistance thing and the bad guys that caused hm to fly/run form earth to find. Made for a great space story with some drama, intrigue, and underground resistance in the works.

Oddly Interesting
This storyline has its moments of humor, pathos, anger and sadness, coupled with human, nonhuman and artificial intelligence. It’s a mostly positive story, with our main protagonists always managing to survive. There is the requisite magical tech to fuel the narrative, and enough optimism to rise above the damage. Overall, it’s a decent beginning for the series.

It took me 8 days to read this. Not because it is a long book. It is because I had to force myself to read it. I usually don't go past 25-30% of a book I'm not enjoying. But for some reason, I slogged my way through this.
I guess I found it just too silly. Too many feats of derring do. Too many skin of their teeth escapes. Again, just silly.
I made myself finish this one, but I won't waste time on another. In fact, I'm not likely to try anything else by this author.

Good read!
The characters are well done. I read lots as I am retired. I am not a fan of all the scifi with fighting or fantasy. This was more down to earth,pardon that. More like old Star Trek. Earth man gets starship. Good story. I don't give five stars unless a book is life altering. Sorry author. Thanks for the story and am waiting for book 2!

Suspend all belief!!
There's this super combat ready spaceship that this counter revolutionary stole, and crashed in Gabe's backyard, killing the revolutionary. Gabe's a nice stable good guy with a knack for tinkering. He's a high school buddy of Mitch who's not as stable. Mitch had just gotten fired, and it happened to be the same day Mitch and Gabe usually get together at a local cafeteria. This presented Gabe the opportunity to invite Mitch over to see that he'd been tinkering on this crashed space ship and it was about ready for a test flight. Gabe assumed the position of command pilot, and assigned Mitch the position of assistant pilot. I guess this is called giving? Before the test flight, they get attacked by some group in black with balaclavas, and Gabe gets killed. Mitch gets away while trying to figure out how to fly the space ship with the help of an AI that Gabe had tinkered into looking like and having the personality of his deceased wife. To get away, Mitch uses up more than half of his fuel which he fails to replenish throughout the rest of the book. He does discover that he's gotten involved in a revolution, and he has no funds which he never obtains. He does meet up with another revolutionary that is beautiful. She has blue skin, blue blood, blue eyes, and blue hair. She's all matching, and no contrast. The two of them galavant from one world to another trying to hook up with the revolution, but only succeeding in getting into battles from which they narrowly and miraculously escape. Mitch found this uniform so decided to wear it as he wanders various planets asking insane questions. Nobody truly complains about it!!! In fact, he's such a dufus, people like him, feed him, and try to help him out. Now if this is the type of book you like reading, enjoy. I'm embarrassed to say I finished it.

I'm reading the audiobook version.
I saw this being advertised on facebook and decided to give it a try because I'm always down for a space opera.
the narration is pretty good. to be honest, the narration is quite frankly the reason why I rated it as high as I am. I'm through 3 full chapters so far, about 2.5 hours of a 12 hour book, and both the main character and the ai secondary character are both annoying. the mc is worse than a caveman in modern times who has no appreciation for his situation and the ai is a recreation of said buddy's dead wife fed with images of her teenaged social media videos which comes across as more of a 15 year old with the attitudes to match and not very helpful for the idiot in space mc.
I never blame the narrator reading the book on how good or bad it is. js arquin's voices are excellent and unique. but this book looks like it is going to be a long slog.
I do finish every audiobook I start, so this looks like this book is going to be a long slog.

This was a fun and easy read, but I feel as though it could have had quite a bit more depth. I think I saw another book by the author in the YA category and this book also has that feel. The characters are fairly interesting, but the plot glosses over some pretty big chasms that stretches things to the breaking point. I saw other reviews that mention the main character Mitch's naivete and I think that is putting it mildly. If he's that slow, it becomes even harder to swallow his rise to hero status over the course of about a week. And I really wish the part about the first visitors to Earth had been left out. Hard to pretend that millions of years of fossil records don't actually exist.

Lighthearted and Heartwarming
This book was an enjoyable ride I would (and will) recommend to anyone. My greatest disappointment was in finding out that the continuation of this series isn't waiting on bookshelves for me to whisk away to my reading nook. I enjoyed the characters, the banter, the slow burn romance, and the depth of detail that hints at a deeply world-built universe without drowning the reader in facts. Even my initial frustration of aliens so similar to us was answered gracefully and I enjoy the book more for it. Give this one a chance - I think you'll be happily surprised.

Whenever I open the door to the shed in my backyard, I expect to find a starship hovering above my old bicycle. It happens like that in so many science fiction books that bookstores ought to create a found starship shelf.
Myles Christensen’s My Buddy Gave Me a Starship adds a dash of originality to the subgenre. The buddy in question programs the ship’s AI to mimic a teenage version of his dead wife. When the buddy is killed, her grief threatens her performance. Should she be reset to the boring factory default? Three guesses.
I don’t demand a lot of science from a book like this, but I do wish we had learned why the plot’s McGuffin is called a Quake Drive. 3.5

Repaired and tested
He found a damaged spacecraft and worked on it. On his friends birthday he showed the friend. They decided to test the ship, which seemed to call the aliens who stole the ship to earth. Before they could get away the engineer was dead leaving his friend with the ship with an AI and the body of his best friend to take care of. Good Read with lots of adventure. Would like to see a book 2.

An ok story
There are all of a sudden a whole bunch of these derivative books which involve buying or discovering a spaceship sitting out in the barn. Or hidden for centuries in a cave. The locale is always somewhere remote and the protagonist is always a naive yet upstanding guy who's had some bad luck. Enough, already! This theme has been to the well far too many times, now. Write about something else.

This is the first in a series, and for first in a series, it's really really good. I'd love to read more in this series, but I have to wait for them to be published first. If you're a serious science fiction fan, then you owe it to yourself to add this book to your to read shelf. No, skip that, just go straight to reading it, then when you're finished, add it to your read shelf. Love the universe built up in this one. Hoping the rest of the books are as good as the first one.

Inconsistent
I was pleasantly surprised with the beginning of the book. The prose was clean and the characters were good. It dropped off after a few chapters.
The global conflicts didn't make much sense: a resistance built up of people from multiple planets but can be taken out at a single base? And the bad guys didn't seem too formidable either. And what is a Quake Drive, and why is it so important?

Entertaining and Refreshing
While it was not hilarious - as I expected from reading some of the other reviews - it was a fun, exciting, refreshing read. Good level of technical details. The villain was easy to dislike, but just a little lightweight for the overall quality of the story. I'm,, giving it 5 stars because the pacing, changes in the plot, surprises, and everything else made it a read that I really enjoyed. Keep writing, sir!

a nice read
This book has been a nice relaxing afternoon of reading for me. It’s similar to other books I’ve read but still worth the time to read. Inherit a spaceship from a friend that is killed, try to find the killer all while being in space and traveling from planet to planet.

Fun Read
Mitch is down on his luck. However, his friends discovery gives him possibilities. An attack takes him to outer space to avoid it. The snark is heavy with a reprogrammed AI and a beautiful resistance fighter. I like the action, humor, and a bit of romance. I look forward to another book.

Fun little space jaunt
I want sure what to expect going into this book. I was worried the author was setting himself up for an unrealistically epic story for the setting, but I think things worked out pretty well and realistically. Intriguing characters, interesting world-building. Fun times!

Nope
I did not enjoy this book. The hero was kind of stupid and stupid is just not entertaining. He takes a space ship he stole back to its planet of origin to report a crime? A crime for which he will be accused. It just did not make any sense to me. He never considered the language differences nor his lack of currency.

Interesting concept
An interesting concept and characters that made me want to continue reading. Superficial in some ways assuming a space ship can land on each planet within formalities. Try taking a sea going vessel into a port in a new country without dealing with customs, immigration and port offices

I was not sure what to think about this book, a very good if, improbable story, but I can say I enjoyed it! I am disappointed because it’s not the first book in a new series! Myles you slipped up on that, and sorry to say it cost you a star, but overall, a good book!

Fairly ridiculous but entertaining
A guy from earth get involved in an intergalactic showdown with next to no experience with a woman with next to no experience and an emotional ai.one starship against the galaxy … how idiotic. Entertaining but not believable. They were pretty stupid.

I listened to the audio book.
This was such a fun sci-fi! The main character was great at making me laugh out loud.
The ups and downs the main character had to go through were entertaining. His life completely changed by having to go into space. I enjoyed the other side characters as well.
I look forward to hearing the next book Myles will write. Good job, bro! ❤️

Something new,something good. I think.
This was a very refreshing read,loved it from start to finish. Quirky ,impossible laugh a minute, impossible yeah,all of those I call it a new find. Best bit of money I have spent in a long time. I am not going to give run down on the plot, characters etc, buy it if you like a light hearted read. Jackpot.

Good easy read.
The author does a good job blending multiple plot lines together, giving you just enough to keep you hooked where you are. The characters are fleshed out in his words both emotionally and physically. The story is fast paced and avoids lulls by building the details into the action.

Readable but probably not memorable. I would classify it as Juvenile Fiction. Kind of fun but not very believable. Too many silly decisions made by the main characters.
Lots of space flight and combat but it's obvious the author knows little about either. If there are further volumes I'll pass.
