Historia
The Carryx—part empire, part hive—has waged wars of conquest for centuries, destroying or enslaving species across the galaxy in its conflict with an ancient and deathless enemy. When they descend on the isolated world of Anjiin, the human population is abased, slaughtered, and put in chains. The best and brightest are abducted, taken to the Carryx world-palace to join prisoners from a thousand other species. Dafyd Alkhor, assistant to a prestigious scientist, is captured along with his team.

Great story & narration
Revisado: 10-13-24
It was fascinating and entertaining how the this story unfolds and ramps up to the point where I am very much looking forward to more in the series. I also appreciated the creativity and style of how the different alien species are portrayed. The performance was on point with a great delivery also!

Historia
In the heart of the South Pacific lies Point Nemo, the most desolate and remote place on Earth. At its core is a dead zone, devoid of life, where government agencies crash their obsolete satellites and space stations, confident they won't harm a soul. When the International Space Station suffers a catastrophic failure and plummets through the atmosphere, it's here that Mission Specialist Julie Rohr, an astrobiologist studying living space dust called xylem, finds herself marooned. Julie's only hope for rescue lies in the hands of her estranged father, Dr. Finn Maddern, a renowned mycologist.

Intriguing Perspective on Otherworldly Incursions
Revisado: 04-19-24
This was a enjoyable experience from the story to the great narration! Like many positive experiences it seemed to be over too quick and left me wanting it to continue. The novel has a small cast of characters and is also not overly complex which worked out well because it was not bloated with lots of backstory or preparational world building. I also thought the perspective of the fungal organism encounters interesting with great "Mental Movie" moments of a Sci-Fi Horror blend. If you are looking for a short but sweet Sci-Fi story you can listen to in a day or two then I highly recommend giving this one a go!

Historia
From Joshua Dalzelle comes the follow-up to the number-one best seller Warship. Captain Jackson Wolfe survived the initial incursion of a vicious alien species into human space...barely. He had assumed the juggernaut that had devastated three Terran systems was the herald for a full invasion, but for the last few years it has been eerily quiet along the Frontier. Jackson now struggles to convince the Confederate leadership the threat is still imminent and needs to be taken seriously.

Mr. Boyett once again pulls off an amazing narration performance as we plunge deep into J.D's second book Call to Arms.

Historia
In the 25th century, humans have conquered space. The advent of faster-than-light travel has opened up hundreds of habitable planets for colonization, and humans have exploited the virtually limitless space and resources for hundreds of years with impunity. So complacent have they become with the overabundance that armed conflict is a thing of the past, and their machines of war are obsolete and decrepit. What would happen if they were suddenly threatened by a terrifying new enemy?

Great story, Amazing narration!
Revisado: 01-16-17
Strong build up with satisfactory climax (mind out of the gutter people lol). Wonderful narration by Mr. Boyett as he was spot on with each characters unique persona. We can't wait to get into the second book!
I would recommend this to any Sci-FI geek, like myself, as this book contains other worldly mysteries and dramas abound.

Historia
There's a reason We Are Legion was named Audible's Best Science Fiction Book of 2016: Its irresistibly irreverent wit! Bob Johansson has just sold his software company for a small fortune and is looking forward to a life of leisure. The first item on his to-do list: Spending his newfound windfall. On an urge to splurge, he signs up to have his head cryogenically preserved in case of death. Then he gets himself killed crossing the street. Waking up 117 years later, Bob discovers his mind has been uploaded into a sentient space probe with the ability to replicate itself.

Fun, smart, unique and very entertaining
Revisado: 11-12-16
Me and my wife got some audio books for the long drive across the United States. Before our move I started the book just to see how it was . The story and narration was great, so much so I couldn't turn it off and we kept going for nine hours as we packed up.
This type of story actually gets me excited to wonder and dream about maybe someday if humanity can develop the tech with understanding how to transfer a human consciousness or at least personality with memories as an AI program. Bring on the singularity! =]

credibility issues hard to take serious
Revisado: 09-28-16
This book seems interesting yet what is being claimed is astounding and very hard to take seriously. The fact that so many others encountered them not to mentioned some of Alien tech reminded me of 1960-70 era future dreams and visions. He also seems to accept based on appearance and wha they tell him. After our encounters we are not a sure we can rely on what we perceive with our senses and notions based on concepts we already understand.
Something is going on but I felt this book didn't share any info to assist, and also the planet stuff seemed very lame and made up. Often truth is stranger than fiction but in this case I feel a 16 year old in his basement could have crafted a better alien human society. I am very open minded though, he may have had some experiences but it didn't really convince me that his stories are credible considering the mountain of circumstantial evidence this case would almost be a smoking gun story.
