About this listen
Ozark Free Territory, 2071: The Kurian Order has reigned for 50 years. Using the dreaded power of their Reaper avatars, the alien, vampiric Kur hold dominion over the Earth and its inhabitants. Yet there are those who would rather die fighting than surrender to the unquenchable thirst of the enemy - those like David Valentine .
Returning to the Ozark Free Territory, Valentine is shocked to find it overrun by Kurians under the command of the merciless Consul Solon. In a bid to turn the tide, Valentine leads a courageous group of soldiers on a desperate mission to drive a spike into the gears of the Kurian Order. Valentine stakes life, honor, and the future of his home on a rebellion that sparks the greatest battle of his life - one that he may not survive...
Bonus Audio: Includes an exclusive introduction by author E.E. Knight.

Louisiana, 2065. A lot has changed in the 43rd year of the Kurian Order. Possessed of an unnatural and legendary hunger, the bloodthirsty Reapers have come to Earth to establish a New Order built on the harvesting of enslaved human souls. They rule the planet.

On this pitiless world, the indomitable spirit of mankind still breathes in Lieutenant David Valentine.

In a steel-and-lead-encased bunker 20 feet below the basement level of his house, a soldier waits for his final orders. On the surface, a plague ravages the planet, infecting over 90% of the populace. The bacterium burrows through the brain, destroying all signs of humanity and leaving behind little more than base, prehistoric instincts. The infected turn into hyper-aggressive predators, with an insatiable desire to kill and feed. Someday soon, the soldier will have to open the hatch to his bunker, and step out into this new wasteland, to complete his mission....

At least, Jason tries to be heroic, but it's hard to be good when all your powers are evil. He’ll face off against cannibals, cultists, wizards, monsters...and that’s just on the first day. He’s going to need courage, he’s going to need wit, and he’s going to need some magic powers of his own. But first, he’s going to need pants.

We were fighting on the wrong side of a war we couldn't win. And that was the good news. The Ruhar hit us on Columbus Day. There we were, innocently drifting along the cosmos on our little blue marble, like the native Americans in 1492. Over the horizon come ships of a technologically advanced, aggressive culture, and BAM! There go the good old days, when humans only got killed by each other. So, Columbus Day. It fits. When the morning sky twinkled again, this time with Kristang starships jumping in to hammer the Ruhar, we thought we were saved.

In the 20th century Earth sent probes, transmissions, and welcoming messages to the stars. Unfortunately, someone noticed. The Galactics arrived with their battle fleet in 2052. Rather than being exterminated under a barrage of hell-burners, Earth joined their vast Empire. Swearing allegiance to our distant alien overlords wasn't the only requirement for survival. We also had to have something of value to trade, something that neighboring planets would pay their hard-earned credits to buy. As most of the local worlds were too civilized to have a proper army, the only valuable service Earth could provide came in the form of soldiers....

More of the same - but that's a good thing!
I stumbled onto the Valentine series a while ago and have faithfully followed it from the first book through to this one (Valentine's Rising).
Some have complained that the series is a bit rough. That may be true - but the characters are engaging and the world very interesting (if dark).
If you are a fan of post-apocalyptic worlds and science fiction you are likely to enjoy this series. The Valentine series also has a very epic span. Personally I found it immersive and very enjoyable.
Are you a Wolf, Cat, Bear or a Quisling? Listen to the books and I'm sure you'll form an opinion!

A Solid Series, Well worth the credit(s)!
Any additional comments?
Well written and well performed sci fi. Although the plot is old (aliens having taken over the earth and the survivors continue the battle), this series was pretty refreshing. Good characters, intelligent story telling that doesn't drag, reasonably good balance of action and character development. Its not a five star, but worth the credits as the series will provide you with many hours of entertainment. Definitely recommend starting with book one of the series for best reading/listening.

The very best of Vampire Earth!
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Read this book.In the first three books Mr Knight develops an incredible future Earth where old myths gather new and cohesive explanations that make stories about vampires, berserkers, Native American legends, holey artifacts and trees, and other long ago oddities into a believable whole. He chronicles the life of a hero from his teens tbrought the angst of a constant war between humanity and a race of nearly immortal beings that knock man off the top of the food chain. Each book further develops the characters more deeply--exploring the very best--and the shameful--thoughts that make every human such a mixed bag of hero and villain. I've read this series many times--and this book is always my favorite. Non-stop white knuckled action told by Mr Rummel in perhaps his best performance (and he has lots of good performances!) This looks like a pulp fiction style novel from it's description--but it isn't; this is excellent literature with thought provoking but realistic (though fantastic) scenarios. Read it the first time for non-stop action, then come back and find that this author not just a good storyteller, but a clever and skilled author as well. Read this series--and in particular this book--I can't imagine any fantasy / science fiction, action / war, or thriller story fan not enjoying this. It rocks. All the way through.
What did you like best about this story?
Humanity at it's worst in war, but at it's best in the selfless individuals laying down their lives for their fellow soldiers, and commitment to freedo--just as our soldiers do every day.
Which scene was your favorite?
I most enjoyed the end--so would be a spoiler!
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
There is a minor sub-plot over the past three books, where despite incredibly unfair, selfish and unjust treatmen resulting in an end to Valentine's career dreams --results in an understandable grudge. But when fighting for the good of his men, Valentine sacrifices that grudge, much as he would sacrifice his life for his fellow soldiers. This was very thought provoking to me.

Valentine's Rising keeps you wondering
Where does Valentine's Rising rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
The whole vampire earth series is addictive. It is interesting and since this is the fourth of the series I think it above the middle of the pack but not at the highest level.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Valentine of course
Which scene was your favorite?
There were several very intense scenes in the book that were well written I won't give them away but you'll know them when you listen.
Any additional comments?
So far an entertaining series. I will listen to another one soon.

Sometimes, deception is the better part of valor.
In the aftermath of overwhelming defeat, David Valentine gathers up a crew of survivors and tries to make for the remnants of Free Territory. Low on men, supplies and weapons, their chances look slim, so Valentine hatches a plot to get his men fed and supplied with weapons. If they can't beat the enemy, they will join them long enough to get guns and a mission to be 'the advance force'.
They come close to pulling it off, but living inside the enemy camp requires Valentine to make too great a sacrifice, and all hell breaks loose.

Great listen, a little slow in the beginning
What did you love best about Valentine's Rising?
There a conflict between what he knows need's to be done and what he is willing to do. "DO THE ENDS JUSTIFY THE MEANS" there is a point where he has to make a choice the life of a new born baby for all the lives of his command around 600. Not counting all the pensioners he will rescue later total # 1400 people. This is a question that has plague the minds of many commanders in WAR. The author is trying to make this as close to realistic as possibly.
What did you like best about this story?
The interaction between the people, it seems it could be real.
Have you listened to any of Christian Rummel and E. E. Knight (Introduction) ’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
overall it does compare very well, my only issue is how short the books are. i am use to much longer book 20hr plus .
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
i have read the others and again great stories.
