About this listen
A hero returns…
In a world ravaged by war and chaos, one soldier stands as humanity's last hope.
Master Sergeant Joe Kovach, a genetically enhanced super-soldier, crash-lands back on Earth after a harrowing space battle. But the planet he once knew is now a savage, unforgiving hellscape. Armed with his wits, his loyal team, and a mysterious damaged warbot, Joe must navigate a treacherous landscape filled with horrific dangers. As Joe unravels the secrets of this new world order, he faces betrayal from old comrades and forges uneasy alliances with enigmatic factions. With each revelation, the stakes grow higher, leading to a pulse-pounding climax that threatens to shatter everything Joe believes in. Brace yourself for an adrenaline-fueled, action-packed tale of survival and redemption.
Can Joe and his team rise above the chaos and restore hope to a shattered world? Or will they, too, fall victim to the relentless savagery that now reigns supreme?
Wastelands is a gripping, post-apocalyptic military science fiction adventure that will keep you on the edge of your seat.

All Liam Avione ever wanted was to be a Deathbringer. Almost twenty years old now, he’s approaching the last six months of the decade-long training program, hopeful for his future as a protector of the Universe. One, slight problem: he’s got a genetic defect that he’s been keeping a secret. But as the training intensifies, so do his symptoms. Which are really hard to hide when they cause him to puke, pass out, and have a seizure in front of the training cadre.

After the majority of his body is destroyed during a high-risk operation, Aiden Thorn is subjected to an experimental, potentially lifesaving procedure… one he never tacitly agreed to undergo. With no choice but to see the unorthodox new process through, he accepts his fate and works to adapt to his new life. But when an intergalactic corporation steps in and essentially claims ownership of Aiden and everyone like him, he is forced to do the two things he does best… survive, and fight.
