Extremely well written and very engaging. Exciting, witty funny, gives a lot of excellent color to the ever expanding lore of 40k. I feel as though I’ve definitely found my new obsession. Highly recommend, fun listen and great narrators.

Buckle the heck up

Revisado: 05-19-19

“As usual, Neal Asher delivers again with a smashing sequel to The Solder: The Rise of the Jain. Without any spoilers, this novel DRASTICALLY ups the ante and keeps giving us the amazing political humor, satire, military and hardscifi, all in JUST the right amounts.”
-From “How it Is: by Gordon”

Shoudnt be advertised as threshold book 3

Revisado: 04-29-19

Aside from the short 50 word prologue and similar epilogue, this work just really doesn’t seem to fit well in lot this universe. If I would have known that 98% of this would just be “zombies on the moon” has really no explanation or exploration of the links and connection of the first two. It’s hundreds of years jn the future, what happened with the building keeping the universe safe from the “other side?” The corporation that kept it safe? Unless this is a really long boring setup for the next book which probably takes place on earth, then this book should be seen as a standalone.
I honestly thought this process for the book was “pick as many classic horror tropes and string them along”
Meteor that resurrects the dead? Check, OF night of the living dead, zombies and creatures in a sealed space station crawling though ducts? alien series, check, using the grave digger to try and kill the queen at the very end? Check, Aliens again. I know peter clines is a better author than this, so I have to assume he did this on purpose , but very disappointing none the less

In depth and well researched, but at over 20 years old, becoming dated

Revisado: 03-05-19

There were many points in listening to this, upon hearing a sociological/socioeconomic comparison between, say a more “native” culture and an invading one, that I would mentally brace for what I feared would be some euro-centric analysis or critique. I am pleased to say that this was unwarranted. Although some of the dates and information presented is a bit out of date (it’s just over 20 years old, and a LOT has been discovered physically and generically since then!) the ideas and concepts still hold true. I was constantly impressed with this white, evolutionary biologist’s ability to write and act more the anthropologist and refrain from any moralizing or looking down on more primitive cultures; indeed the author seems to have spent almost half their lives living and studying and working with the native stone ages tribes of Australia and Papau New Guinea, and thus has a wealth of knowledge, empathy, and as close to a true understanding as someone privileged to live in this as he does, and lets be honest; any of us listening to an audio book is living in a privileged state of nature—-but have you ever wondered what environmental, sociological and even epidemiological factors and reasons that led you to such a place in life? Guns Germs and Steel is a great way to explore that very question.
****Warning—-You really need to be into this material, as if you are not, a lot of the listing of properties, dates and the like may be tedious and boring for someone who doesn’t relish all the little details, this guy DELIVERS on that!——

I believe that this book should be mandatory reading for anyone before they graduate high school or college the inside that it gives on the nature of warfare and espionage and effect on the human population is indispensable .read this.
