About this listen
Young men able to fight are in short supply. High-tech computer chips are becoming rare. The navy is down to a handful of ships and only two that are able to destroy the alien spheres at their point of entry, and it requires both of them to perform such a feat. When the Ruby Demon is destroyed while meeting the enemy at the portal, there is only one ship left: the Falling Star. Commander Winters is recalled and given orders that only a crew with a death wish would perform. To make matters worse, he must carry out his orders without his crew knowing them ahead of time. It’s a desperate ploy. If they fail, there will be no ships able to stop the alien spheres from attacking Earth at will. If they are successful, then they have a chance that they can cut off the portal-generating alien station and stop the spheres from coming.

For centuries, mankind has searched for nonhuman civilizations in the cosmos. These lost alien societies have finally been discovered—but they were destroyed long ago. Devin Starn starts off as a lowly rock rat aboard Borag, a mining ship working the dangerous end of the asteroid belt. Slowly, he gains prestige and purpose.

Story
It’s been eight years since an alien invasion drove a small surviving group of settlers to seek refuge in an underground shelter. Cut off from the rest of humanity, the ragtag band has maintained a narrowly functioning colony due to communal effort and salvage runs. Alex Archer has her own duties as a dog handler. While this off-world colony may be harsh, Ash, Alex’s black shepherd raised to sense threats, makes living in it a little nicer.

Terminal Lance Lucky Lee Savage likes his life. Sure, doing PT hungover is a pain, but no one can dodge responsibility like he can - or sweet-talk the cooks into giving out double rations.

Lose the AI Narration
Virtual voice narrator is dull, unemotional, boring, and far to easy to tune out. Story may be good enough, but is overcome by narration.

Story may be good but Virtual Voice is NOT
Please, if the next book is released as an audiobook, do not use virtual voice. I’m begging.
