Story
We were fighting on the wrong side of a war we couldn't win. And that was the good news. The Ruhar hit us on Columbus Day. There we were, innocently drifting along the cosmos on our little blue marble, like the native Americans in 1492. Over the horizon come ships of a technologically advanced, aggressive culture, and BAM! There go the good old days, when humans only got killed by each other. So, Columbus Day. It fits. When the morning sky twinkled again, this time with Kristang starships jumping in to hammer the Ruhar, we thought we were saved.

Story
My name is Kazimir Wolfe. People call me "Kaz", except they don’t. I never use my real name; it’s too dangerous, for me and for anyone I meet. I’m on the run from the law, who think I killed my aunt, and from whoever did kill her, because they want to finish the job. So, I move around a lot, working construction or whatever job I can find. It’s a lonely life. I don’t let anyone get close...people who get close to me end up dead. Why? I’m a wizard. The world’s only wizard, as far as I know.

Publisher's Summary
Children are not supposed to rescue their parents, life is supposed to be the other way around. And rescues aren't supposed to be needed on the trip out to the new colony planet Valhalla. Slow, yes. Boring, yes. Dangerous? No, the trip is not supposed to be dangerous, never has been.
When thieves attack the transport ship to steal an ancient alien artifact, and young Kaylee and her brother, Manny, are cut off from their parents, they have to stop the thieves from getting what they want, because once the thieves have the artifact, they're not leaving any witnesses.

Tough for this EXFOR reader to get through
I read this book because I loved the author’s series, EXFOR, AKA Expeditionary Force.
EXFOR is humor-packed, and this book doesn’t deliver much comedy relief until the last third of the book. I don’t understand why this was done. It makes the pacing kind of wonky and was tough to adapt to when you’re used to getting humor in each chapter from Craig Alanson.
The story was decent enough but the lack of humor of the majority of the book was a real let-down. I kept waiting for the funny parts, until they finally started...
Note to the author:
Please stick to keeping humor /comedy-relief throughout the book; it doesn’t need to be as dense as a trans-dimensional beer can cramming in an entity the size of a small moon, but at least put some it in every chapter, okay? Even if it’s a brief laugh, it _matters_. You’re good at it! Your serious stuff isn’t bad but the humor makes it so much more enjoyable.

i really love the authors other series but this book seems to miss on that magic. The characters lack dimension and the story is like a space version of home alone. I really tried to give it a chance bit halfway though and all I want to do is return it.

Good for kids
Predictable, loaded with cliches, my ten year old loved it though.
Like a lot of mediocre sf, it imagines a future with interstellar space travel and other wonders, but is culturally reflective of the USA circa 1990.
It served well enough for a family road trip.

great book and great performance
Craig alanson is one of those rare occurrances in sci fi and fantasy... no matter what he writes its always great. He is no CS Lewis, Robert Jordan, TS elliot, Tolkien, Orson Scott Card or Jules Verne (and so on) he is Craig Alanson! Out of all the books in my audible library he is always one of the first authors i remember when offering up recommendations or searching for new books to listen to. I enjoy his books just as much as one of the classics, poetry/prose and just as much if not more then many of the more current works available today.
A well written (and narrated) book will transport you to another place. Craig Alanson and MacLeod Andrews do that here in only the way they can!
Macleod Andrews did a great job. I now have one more name to search when it comes to narration. Often times the narator is just not given enough credit but can absolutely "kill" an audible release even if it is the greatest book ever written... in this case he gave it life and a dimension that ray porter, time Gerard Reynolds and Nick poehdel could not have achieved so masterfully as MacLeod Andrews did.

Too much like Scooby-do, "those pesky kids"
What did you like best about Aces? What did you like least?
It was kinda of fun, too much like a Scooby-Do episode. "And I would have gotten away with it too, if it weren't for you meddling kids"
Has Aces turned you off from other books in this genre?
I liked the Expeditionary Force books, this was just written for kids. You could always guess what would happen next.
What about MacLeod Andrews’s performance did you like?
He performance was great, maybe a little cartoon-istic at times.
If this book were a movie would you go see it?
Maybe with the grand kids.
Any additional comments?
Not what I expected

This author never disappoints!
Although this book was aimed at a young adult audience, it is a FUN adventure for anyone who loves science-fiction and great characters. You might also enjoy this author’s Ascendant series. If you are an adult just discovering this author, be sure to check out Craig Alanson’s exceptional and addictive Expeditionary Force series narrated by the great RC Bray, for which readers need a 6 star rating option!

Slow and unfulfilling
The story starts of with promise, but as we venture into the body of the book, nothing much happens for 4 hours and boom pirates Then the leading characters who are kids that are stuck in space come up against a trained band of thugs. The children manage to out smart them on every turn, bit far fetched!. I may have be the wrong audience for this book. May be more suited to a younger audience who are starting out on Science Fiction. Very Disney.

Really enjoyed this entry to another Craig Alanson story
This definitely has the making of a great series and could take us anywhere in upcoming books. The kids voices were a little frustrating at times but I got used to it after a short while. Some parts of the story were a little predictable but I like the easygoing way manner in which the story was written.
Definitely a fan and yes I have the expeditionary force T-shirt.
I dare the author to introduce a shiny beer can relic into his book. Even if it is discarded, a skippy cameo would fit well here without the annoying little beer can talking. Eg somebody finding a beer can and discarding it.

Home Alone in Space
This is a well performed book, and overall it is well written. Despite it mostly concerning a pair of children versus a band of pirates, as they set traps and foil their plans, it was an engaging listen. You are left at the end though realising that nothing much has happened, and it all ties up in the most cliched way possible.
There is an alien device involved, but it is never explored which felt like a wasted opportunity and just an excuse to write more books.

High drama in space, the kids a save the day
Full of action and tension as a family battle evil pirates in outer space. Impossible scenarios are overcome by two inventive siblings. Add into the mix a friendly robot who switches sides unexpectedly, four ferocious predictors and hapless pirates whose determination turns to desperation, all make this an entertaining listen. This would be suitable for children especially as the main characters are children but also as there is no extreme violence.

kid friendly sci fi.
It has a kid friendly vibe to it in the way it has been written. Like a young adventure book. It feels like this could be an animated movie very easily. A great little story with lots of personality. enjoyed it alot.

Good Story. Very well performed
Craig's first I think. A good story but not the same level as Expeditionary Force which IMHO has set a new bar for SF. Still worth a listen.

Disappointing
Disappointing story & the narrator was ok mostly but made a 12yo sound like a whining 7yo which was annoying.

Good book
So far, good story and performance. Potentially very interesting and narrated by a good voice actor.
