The Lucky Starman [Libby Audiobook]. Alton Kremer, 2026. Format: OverDrive OverDrive Listen, Filesize: 366MB. HTML:Is Leif really lucky? Stranded in orbit, viewing a destroyed civilization on Earth through the screens of a starship almost out of fuel and food, he doesn't feel that way. It wasn't supposed to be like that. As the starship Dauntless returns from a successful mission to the planet called Heaven, Earth holds no attractions for Exoplanetary Scout Leif Grettison. He wants only to complete the mission and leave for another star, along with ace pilot Yang Yong. In fact, he would be happy spending the rest of his life flying the starways with her. But they and the rest of the ship's skeleton crew awaken from hibernation to find Earth's solar system dark and silent—no signals, no responses to their transmissions. When they make orbit, the magnitude of the disaster becomes clear: An apocalyptic war has killed billions and destroyed every last source of power and tech that 22nd-Century humans relied on to survive. Getting down to Earth is only the beginning of Leif's problems. Those few who survived the apocalypse are still divided, fighting over what's left. The disastrous re-entry to Earth leaves him with no resources or allies. He lands in the middle of a makeshift family that needs him more than he's comfortable with and hears stories—even nursery rhymes—that speak of a lucky starman. For once, he's the only person with tech—but if he's caught using it, they might kill him. Can a man back from the stars end the warfare on Earth, or will he make it worse? Can he save a family that might become his? Is he everyone's lucky starman?. Science Fiction. Fiction. Media Type: Audiobook. Importer Version: 2014-01-08.01 Import Date: 2026-04-02 20:00:03.
