The first invasion of Earth was beaten back by a coalition of corporate and international military forces and the Chinese army. China has been devastated by the Formic's initial efforts to eradicate Earth life forms and prepare the ground for their own settlement. The Scouring of China struck fear into the other nations of the planet; that fear blossomed into drastic action when scientists determined that the single ship that wreaked such damage was merely a scout ship. There is a mothership out beyond the solar system's Kuiper Belt, and it's heading into the system.

fits well and good story

I enjoyed the book very much. The one thing that really threw me is the performance, not that it wasn't quality, but that they did not keep the same readers for a particular character. I truly enjoy ensemble performances of audiobooks, but they have to keep the characters read by the same person otherwise it breaks some of the immersion.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 232
Paradise falls. Humanity is thrown back to an age of steel and blood. Now the fuel that powers the "changed" world is up for grabs in an orbiting spacecraft. With only days to plan, rough and ready paladin Herzer Herrick must assemble a team of expert warriors capable of both seat-of-the-pants engineering and hand-to-hand combat in space. In the meantime, Herzer must face his own demons. And if that's not enough, there's a horde of "changed" orcs and goblins who are intent on delivering the power above to their totalitarian masters below.

Good story - socially backward

The plot is fine, if sometimes a bit obvious, but entertaining. The outdated somewhat misogynistic dismissal of women does not age well. Also some of the concepts don't make sense in that basic caveman level intelligence is dismissed as lost.

It is a time of tranquility for the New Republic. But the peace is short-lived. Luke must journey to his mother's homeworld in a desperate and dangerous quest to find her people. An adventurous Lando must seize a mysterious spacecraft that has weapons of enormous destructive power. And Leia, a living symbol of the New Republic's triumph, must face down a ruthless leader of the Duskhan League, an arrogant Yevetha who seems bent on a genocidal war.

Most unfulfilling Star Wars series I've read.

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?
Not a Star Wars fan.
Would you ever listen to anything by Michael Kube-McDowell again?
Possibly.
What does Anthony Heald bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Good job on multiple characters. Not perfect, but good discernment between characters.
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
Disappointment.
Any additional comments?
Three nearly completely disconnected story lines. These were also very short books. It should be one book. Don't waste your credits.
