In exchange for his freedom, he has three days to find and destroy a mysterious alien weapon.

Rej Antares, a disgraced former galactic agent, has landed in prison on a remote third-world planet. Now Galactic Intelligence has intercepted chatter that a merciless alien race plans to deploy a mysterious weapon to eradicate an entire colony of humans. In exchange for his freedom, Rej is now dragged back into service and has only three days to find out what the weapon is and how to stop it.

Rej must partner with a regulation-obsessed weapons specialist and an unpredictably clairvoyant antique dealer in a race across the galaxy to solve this mystery before time runs out.

DAY OF THE DEVOURER is an entertaining, fast-paced, interstellar adventure that will keep you turning pages from beginning to end. It’s scifi action adventure combined with a spy-fi thriller.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

D.F. has always been inspired by the weird and beautiful world around him and has consistently gravitated toward creative work in order to use that inspiration. Although he's had a career as an illustrator, designer, and creative director, he has always written fiction in some form when he could find a quiet moment.

His latest novel, Day of the Devourer, is a work that took years, stitched together from spare moments and boring daily commutes on trains. When he's not writing or working, he enjoys life in San Francisco with his wife, two daughters, two cats, and the fog. www.dfpieper.com

On a Sunday afternoon I found this book. At first I thought it to be a little slow. But then it started to roll. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys Sify.

Strong, simple, galactic adventure.

Reviewed in the United States on December 28, 2021

First off, HIGHLY recommend this read. It's rather brief, attention grabbing, and action packed. This is one of the few books that has made it to my 24 hour list, having been read in under 24 hours because I couldn't put it down. With my often extreme lack of focus, it's difficult to find books that catch my attention. I borrowed this from Kindle Unlimited yesterday morning and spent an entire day powering through the adventure.

Not only was this a simple, yet powerful action plot, but the author had a strong ability to create visual adventures for the reader. Each planet and environment the story lead to was a whole new adventure, but still a part of the overall story. From deserts and swamps to the murky depths of abandoned civilizations buried under new developments, every new direction brought the reader deeper and deeper into the adventure. As each twist in the adventure developed, as did the characters involved in the story. The main character is definitely the young-Solo-esque anti-hero we often crave in our science fiction adventures, accompanied by an equally strong female lead, ready for action, but dancing around caution for guidelines from her agency. Every race and character included in this adventure has a deep explanation and I as the reader was often left wanting to re-read certain chapters just to experience the immersion into the environments. Specifically a section where the author goes into detail about the Vul planet and the cathedral they discuss their dark plot in.

I cannot stress enough the strength that the author has in combining side-stories and side-characters in the overall adventure in this book. Everything is laid out in front of you as if you are watching a visually stunning, yet gritty movie. I would also highly recommend that anyone considering reading this, please listen to the "Sci-Fi Scapes" playlist on Spotify for full effect.

The only critique that I have for this solid piece of work is the sometimes cliché feeling found in the writing and character development, but not enough to take away from the storyline. It could be argued that most things in fiction are recycled anyway, until science fiction becomes reality and we have the ability to explore other realms of reality.

I am left eagerly awaiting the next works by this author, more so where the next adventures with Rej and Astra pick up!

*Cartoonishly Dumb*

“Day of the Devourer” is a cartoonishly dumb story of a intergalactic secret agent who becomes a free agent secret agent as he bumbles about the galaxy with his two sidekicks battling equally cartoonishly dumb alien villains.

Read fully via Kindle Unlimited and is not recommended.

A really good read. With many good characters amongst a host of worlds and systems, populated with more aliens than you can guess and it will comes together with a great story that covers many journeys through this vast cosmos.

Interesting sci fi novel

I pivked this up with only moderate interest - i normslly prefer harf svience fiction. However, i found myself increasingly drawn into the well constructed plot, lots of action, probablythe best sci fii have read in several years. Strong characters, dreadful baddies, dubious goodies! Heartily recommend it.
