In the not-too-distant future, a 21-member crew launches from Earth. Their mission: to establish a temporary colony on Mars. Little do they know that colony will become permanent–and the last stand of the human race. Because, without warning, every single person left on Earth simply...vanishes. Now, a thousand years later, the resources needed to sustain life are running out, and the very existence of the Mars colony is threatened. Humankind has only one option–to return to its home planet.

I had to listen to this at 2x because the narrator read very slow. it is an awakening for a a young woman, but it's like she is on shrooms the whole time. pretty slow.

Eh... could have been good
Reviewed: 09-18-23
The premise is pretty solid but the MC is just too much to maintain suspension of disbelief. The MC is supposed to be this Elite Special Operations type, but does stuff that is just unbelievablly stupid. It moved the story along so I put up with it but there was a point at which I had enough given that the MC forgot about this super import event and quest item that a good chunk of story was dedicated too so that he could say something stupid, again.
Then there is the LitRPG. This book would work much better if the author hadn't thrown in levels. The MC is basically level nothing fighting Lovecraftian hell monsters with 40 plus levels on him. There is fighting above your level and then there is, NOPE. I've read LitRPG that pulls it off, but this book does not.
The narrator is good, but so slow. I had to speed it up but kept it to 1.5x so I could hear the differences in the voices. Armen Taylor is a great voice actor, but reads so slow....
It had potential, but I do not recommend this book.

On the edge of the galaxy, a diplomatic mission to an alien planet takes a turn when the Legionnaires, an elite special fighting force, find themselves ambushed and stranded behind enemy lines. They struggle to survive under siege, waiting on a rescue that might never come. In the seedy starport of Ackabar, a young girl searches the crime-ridden gutters to avenge her father's murder; not far away, a double-dealing legionniare-turned-smuggler hunts an epic payday; and somewhere along the outer galaxy, a mysterious bounty hunter lies in wait.

Ending sucks
Reviewed: 09-01-23
RC Bray is awesome, as always! The books are actually pretty great right up until the end. The endings are pretty much a big ole F your happy ending. Listening to these books is like getting to third base and then getting friendzoned.
It really is a bummer because the writing is solid. The story is good, but the ending just leaves me disappointed. I want to know how the story continues, but I know the endings are just going to ruin the rest of the book.

I don't like the audio dramas in general, but I decided to get this one because I didn't want to miss out on anything from the series. After listening to maybe an hour of it, I just couldn't take any more. The sound effects wash the audio quality and character voices out, some serious characters like Smyth are relegated to comedic and undisciplined sidekicks...
I think the producers wanted to make it more appealing to a broader audience and ended up screwing the pooch.
I'm requesting a refund.

For years, rumors of the "Marsh Girl" have haunted Barkley Cove, a quiet town on the North Carolina coast. So in late 1969, when handsome Chase Andrews is found dead, the locals immediately suspect Kya Clark, the so-called Marsh Girl. But Kya is not what they say. Sensitive and intelligent, she has survived for years alone in the marsh that she calls home, finding friends in the gulls and lessons in the sand.

I really like this series. This book is good, but it has a lot of social justice and woke lecturing... that being said, it is definitely worth the credit! I was unhappy with the ending to this book, but it does leave you wanting to get the next in the series!

Half a century after the Doomsday Battle, the uneasy balance of Dark Forest Deterrence keeps the Trisolaran invaders at bay. Earth enjoys unprecedented prosperity due to the infusion of Trisolaran knowledge. With human science advancing daily and the Trisolarans adopting Earth culture, it seems that the two civilizations will soon be able to coexist peacefully as equals, without the terrible threat of mutually assured annihilation. But the peace has also made humanity complacent.
