So good

Revisado: 10-25-21

So good. I haven't had a scifi / space opera that has held my attention in such a long time.
after the first Omnibus, I immediately bought the whole series, I'm all in!

Everything was fine till he jumped the shark

Revisado: 09-25-21

slight spoiler. I was really enjoying this book. 7 hours in and I was really digging it's theme and the story - even got a bit of the horror tingles with a couple of bits, but then he jumped the shark and completely threw me off the plot.

Suspending disbelief isn't enough

Revisado: 10-12-18

Will be returning this book.
I painfully dragged myself all the way through it hoping for payoff but it never came.
I find that if you're writing a SciFi story you need to have some background to how things work or explanation of how they know what they are doing, but none of that was in this book. I found myself audibly groaning, and yelling at my car stereo in frustration at the implausible nature of so many events in the book. It often felt like a 10yo'ds story "they did this, and then this happened, and then they flew a space jet, and he did this" and then out of nowhere the ending pushed me over the edge. I already was giving it a 2/10, but then the event in the last minute of the book dropped it to a 1/10.

I actually feel bad for RC Bray (Narrator), he is incredible and I will listen to any book he is part of (the reason for listening to this book was solely because of him, and the dam cover art), but I wonder how he feels about this book...

SciFi channel movie plot

Revisado: 07-19-17

Have you ever watched a SciFi channel movie and spent large chunks of it rolling your eyes or pointing at the TV and saying "that wouldn't actually happen like that!" or "how convenient they can just magically do that". well that's how this book felt to me.
I'm going to give the second book a try and hope that this first book was just a poor attempt to set up a back story for the second book, rather than just jumping in to the bigger story.

Having listened to Joshes other series, this first book didn't feel like him, but I'm hoping this was one of his earlier books and he learns along the way

Just a little bit more please

Revisado: 09-20-15

Really liked the book, well read by Will Wheaton, and was a good story. I just felt like in the end you're left wanting to know more about the aliens and where they came from. it's almost like its waiting for another book to do that, but I don't see him writing a second book for this story line, so I feel robbed of answers.
Don't let that stop you from getting this book however, was still a good one

Not the SciFi I hoped

Revisado: 02-06-15

OK look, it was a good book, but more of a political strategy story than a SciFi futuristic battle that I hoped it would be. If you're into the political strategy behind the war, then this book is for you (at some points, it felt like the author was trying to prove his knowledge of political chess). If you're into futuristic technology and action packed battle, look elsewhere
