Story
The United Nations of Earth sent out the Forerunner ships to explore and colonize the four most promising star systems within 50 light-years of Earth. Forerunner One left Earth under the command of Captain Clayton Cross, heading for Trappist-1. After a ninety year journey to reach it, the crew encountered not only a habitable world, but alien life already inhabiting it, and dark secrets lurking beneath the surface. The revelation of who these aliens are and what they want proves more terrifying than promising, and Captain Cross is forced to make tough decisions that will affect not only his crew, but the fate of the entire human race.

Disappointing

Bland and uninterestimg story and the reader surprisingly struggled with common words. Unbelievable cartoon villains. Plot had potential.

Story
The year is 2108, and the North American Commonwealth is bursting at the seams. For welfare rats like Andrew Grayson, there are only two ways out of the crime-ridden and filthy welfare tenements: You can hope to win the lottery and draw a ticket on a colony ship settling off-world...or you can join the service. With the colony lottery a pipe dream, Andrew chooses to enlist in the armed forces for a shot at real food, a retirement bonus, and maybe a ticket off Earth.

Onerous
Reviewed: 09-01-22
Very awkward exposition. Seems about 2/3 of the book is people listing ship specifications. It was an interesting plot base but the book revolves around the background not the characters. Had unrealistic notions of human interactions. Maybe better for young readers and idealists unbothered by literary Uncanny Valleys.

Hard to sympathize with psycopaths
- By Thaddeus on 06-05-16
Problems with the audio
Reviewed: 12-22-18
The audio seems to glitch out and skip some I'm some parts of the book. the rest is okay.
I like the main protagonist less and less as he lacks all humility and is just "good" at everything. Maybe the author plans on bringing this back to reality, but it makes it hard to sympathize with him at all and make the story hard to believe.
The strategic situation that comes up is believable and what keeps me engrossed.

not great
Reviewed: 12-10-17
I liked the first of the series a little better, but it's painfully predictable now.
Hard to believe: unrealistic godlike hero with no flaws. Shallow drama with bunches of characters existing just to die. The reader has little attachment to these and their demise is totally predictable. No character development.
