Rate this book
Quentin never wanted to be a hero. But when an interstellar syndicate finds his haul of star gems, he’s thrust into a world of dangerous secrets, seductive allies, and deadly foes.

From his space-boat, harvesting diamonds, to the underbelly of star systems, Quintin fights to survive, learning that power comes with a price. Along the way, he’s joined by powerful women, each with her own skills and desires, all tied to his fate. Together, they must navigate the ruthless syndicate, ancient portal tech, and a galaxy full of enemies.

But betrayal is everywhere—and sometimes, the greatest danger comes from within.

Fast ships, fierce battles, and sizzling chemistry—Quintin’s story isn’t just a fight for survival; it’s a fight to claim his place in the stars.

Content This book is intended for mature audiences, 18+, who tend to be straight men, and features scintillating encounters between male and female characters, all set against the backdrop of an epic interstellar journey.

I read 95% of the first book. Oh boy. The main character Quintin, spends more of the first book kidnapped or unconscious than he does in autonomy of his body. The main villain gets more non-fade to black sex scenes than the MC does. The MC spends most of the book wanting to go back to his wife and kids and has not even the headspace to think of a harem. I have yet to find the first harem member this far into the first book.

Also from a story structure point of view, the author randomly throws space magic and Space Wizards into the storyline for a few chapters and then decides against that and deus ex machina's the whole thing. Why, because he needs the MC to have "backstory?" Uncertain. I really wanted to like the book, but it doesn't fit the harem definition by 90% of the first book, and I feel exhausted watching the MC bounce around from kick to fall. It is terrible. The Fugative has a better plotline and was at least expected from start to finish.
