Nikia Idan led an uprising that liberated the Tribari people. Brek Trigan saved his colony from starvation. Captain Drake Elgin protected the citizens of Central from loyalist forces.

Meanwhile, a rogue governor's quest for independence will put the empire's promise of freedom to the test.

One of my favourites of all time
Revisado: 03-29-23
I listened to this three years ago and came back today to ensure I've reviewed all four books in the series. I realised I'd missed this one. This should give you an idea of the impression this series left if I'm still thinking about it three years later. If you enjoy epic series that build and draw you into the characters' lives while the challenges escalate to bigger and bigger orders of magnitude, get this series!

Very interesting
Revisado: 05-26-22
This book has a very interesting premise, good character development, and enough action and intrigue to make me want to keep going and find out what will happen. It's well-written and enjoyable for dystopian lovers like myself.

Enjoyable listen
Revisado: 01-13-21
I enjoyed this book and would give it 3.5 stars for the story/writing. It was a good storyline with good pacing and I enjoyed the intrigue. Really, everything about it was good, except the dialogue, which seemed unnatural and stilted at times. Even so, I still enjoyed it.

Thought provoking
Revisado: 01-07-21
Very interesting premise and well-executed. This story goes deeper than one may realize and is thought-provoking. What makes one human? Or "sentient" may be a better word than "human".
Sometimes it felt a little bit slow, but I enjoyed the whole story and would be happy to read the sequel.

Humorous sci-fi
Revisado: 01-07-21
This was a very enjoyable listen. I enjoyed the author's off-beat sense of humour. Good story line, interesting characters and plenty happening to keep things interesting! I'd suggest this to anyone who enjoys sci-fi and has a quirky sense of humour.

It's 2096, 60 years after 90 percent died from a man-made Bioplague. Humanity has splintered into four unequal subspecies: Immortals, cyborgs, enhancers, and subservient half-human, half-animal hybrids. The world is anything but equal. Hybrids everywhere are suffering, but 16year-old Raek Mekorian, a wolfish with a nose for trouble, doesn’t see an alternative. Except the Resistance, who don’t stand a chance against the world government. His mom always said, “Keep your head down”.

Gripping
Revisado: 12-10-20
Very much enjoyed this fast-paced story and the world it's set in--an interesting dystopian society with different races up against one another. I was gripped pretty much right from the beginning, all the way to the end and I'd be happy to read a sequel to this too!

Nobody has taken part in the Devil’s Run annual road race as often as Dutch McGuire and lived to tell the tale. The racecourse circumnavigates the post-apocalyptic ruins of Teijouan, and with a choice between being eaten by the monstrous Kaiju that prowl the island’s devastated cities or murdered by her fellow racers, the odds against surviving another Run, let alone winning it, are slim.

Interesting and different world
Revisado: 12-10-20
I enjoyed the characters and story. The most interesting thing about the story for me was the world and the twists in relation to how it got to be as it is.
The only thing I didn't like about the narrator was her Australian accent, which bugged me throughout. Other than that she was great.
Enjoyable listen!

In 1952, London experienced the Great Smog. Around 4,000 people died and 100,000 became sick. It was this event that led Parliament to pass the Clean Air Act of 1956, which paved the way to cleaner air and was an important milestone in the protection of the environment. But what if the act was never passed? What if a young and unscrupulous politician and businessman had blocked its passing? Meet George Weeks.

Short, but great
Revisado: 12-02-20
To be honest, I'm not a big fan of short stories, but this one was great. The author manages to create a whole word, societies, history, all in very few words and the twist in the story was very satisfying.

Enjoyable and thought-provoking
Revisado: 11-21-20
I enjoyed this audiobook. I just wished it was clear in the description they were (disrelated) short stories). By the time I figured that out, the book was done. That said, it was thought-provoking and a very different and interesting listen.

Susan MacDonald is desperate. Unless she makes a breakthrough soon, Ashford, the millionaire businessman financing her project, will shut it down and disband her research team. The last thing Susan needs is a team of ghost hunters moving into her base of operations, Ashford Hall - a building with a troubled past. Nor does she need the odd sounds - snatches of random conversation and even music - that are hampering her experiments....

Captivating
Revisado: 11-21-20
I enjoyed this book. It's well written and the narrator did a great job on the different characters. The story is intriguing and kept my interest. I was definitely trying to figure out what was really going on, and didn't' predict the outcome. This isn't really my favourite genre, but I still enjoyed the whole story, so that's a very good sign!
