Story
The Birthday Children fought for survival against the elements, jungle wildlife, the “Grownups” who created them...and, as evil corrupted their numbers, even against themselves. With these opponents finally defeated, Em and her people realized that more threats were coming, traveling from across the universe to lay claim to their planet. The Birthday Children have prepared as best they can against this alien armada. Now, as the first ships reach orbit around Omeyocan, the final battle for the planet begins.

Distracting soundstage
Reviewed: 02-28-22
I heard a lot of criticism of the new narrator for the third book in the series, so I decided to take a chance and buy the "Dramatized Adaptation" of book three.
The different voices worked great, and at least some of the sound effects worked and supported the action as well.
BUT, the soundstage, in general, was absolutely terrible.
- The background sounds and "music" were too loud and occasionally made it hard to actually hear the dialogue.
- A lot of the soundstage was made up of short and endlessly repeating loops of 5-10 seconds of non-sensical sounds and effects.
I considered giving up on the last book or switching to the non-dramatized version, as I got so distracted and irritated by the bad sound design.
A version of this book, with the different voices, and the sound effects that actually related to what was read, would be great.
Just drop the distracting and irritating "music" and endlessly repeating short sound clips.

Story
The fight to free the Earth from alien domination began in Live Free or Die, and continued in Citadel. Now Tyler Vernon and his troops aboard the gigantic battle station Troy face a desperate battle with the forces of galactic tyranny. And the very survival of the Earth and its people is not all that is at stake. The galaxy itself must choose to live free or die - and if the tyrants win this battle, darkness will fall across the galaxy for millennia to come.

Awesome trilogy. To bad it was only a trilogy.

I will absolutely listen to this again in a few years. But I would really hope there will be a fourth book by then. But I doubt it.
