It was every starship captain’s nightmare, and for Travis Miller, it was his own personal hell. He’d done everything by the book, but when the Tahni had attacked him and his crew, there was no choice but to return fire and destroy the first alien vessel humans had ever encountered. Excoriated in the press, his career in shambles, Travis is exiled to a long patrol of the outer colony worlds. Forgotten, except as a bad example...until the Tahni prove him right by declaring war on the human commonwealth.

There's a lot of books out there in the wild folks, I took a chance on Rick Partlows Genesis and was grateful to have received a excellent balance between action and character driven story line. I'm a old fart and I'm going to say it reminds me of Heinlein knowing that some of you may need to look it up. Anyway I'm happy to recommend the story and solid narration for your enjoyment.

This is the best Alien's follow up story I have found and I read a lot. The narrative performance was above average and the pacing was dead on. if you liked the Aliens movies at all you really should give this a try.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 44,765
There are some odd things about Nate’s new apartment. Of course, he has other things on his mind. He hates his job. He has no money in the bank. No girlfriend. No plans for the future. So while his new home isn’t perfect, it’s livable. The rent is low, the property managers are friendly, and the odd little mysteries don’t nag at him too much. At least, not until he meets Mandy, his neighbor across the hall, and notices something unusual about her apartment. And Xela’s apartment. And Tim’s. And Veek’s.

It has been 40 years since the publication of this classic science-fiction novel that changed the way we look at the stars and ourselves. From the savannas of Africa at the dawn of mankind to the rings of Saturn as man adventures to the outer rim of our solar system, 2001: A Space Odyssey is a journey unlike any other.

Adventuring is a costly affair, and while the tolls are often paid in blood, gold can drain away just as quickly. The party's trek out of Solium and across the lands of Alcatham has left them with only a handful of gold between them. Fortunately, they have drawn near Camnarael, Alcatham's capital, where all manner of quests - and rewards - await. But all is not as expected in the capital.

Easy enough for Drew Hayes it seems. His characters grow in strength and complexity, their tasks and goals harder and friends and foes more numerous. All of this while still managing to keep the story line clean and truly enjoyable

Fergus Ferguson, repo-man, has one job: find the spacecraft Venetia's Sword and steal it back from Arum Gilger, ex-nobleman turned power-hungry trade boss. Finding Gilger in the farthest corner of human-inhabited space, a gas-giant harvesting colony called Cernee, was easy. The hard part will be getting past a field of space mines, hacking into the Sword's compromised AI, and fighting a crew of hostile enemies to take control of the ship. But when a cable car explosion launches Cernee into a civil war, Fergus finds himself caught in the crosshairs.

Finder was a pleasent surprise for me, the first book by S. Palmer that I've come across. It's a unique plot with believable rich characters. It's like a memorable meal among simple food. You will savor it long after finishing.

The shear storytelling and performance is breathtaking
Please be aware that at some level this is a story for adults and as such contains some small content that is mildly disturbing. I do know that the story was worth every penny and I will return to it many times.
Please enjoy this excellent entertainment.

Five years ago, the US Space Force became a reality. And while those writing the checks took things very seriously, the other military branches did not. As a result, Space Force was populated by undesirables. My name is Captain Ethan Stone, a decorated member of SEAL Team Six turned Space Force "recruit". Flash forward five years and between tenses. President West is in office. Power has shifted. And Space Force is defunded. With just a handful of us still living on base, we find ourselves being evicted. But before all of us can leave, aliens invade.

Looks folks, if you haven't realized by now that this book is irreverent, silly, and mostly compromised of 3rd. (ok maybe 4th.) grade humor then please set an immediate appointment for a cranial MRI. its funny, paced well, actually does not repeat the same jokes (yes poking at other reviewers) and is worth listening to.
Have much fun! I did.....

Civil war looms in the Bobiverse in this brand-new, epic-length adventure by Audible number one best seller Dennis E. Taylor. More than a hundred years ago, Bender set out for the stars and was never heard from again. There has been no trace of him despite numerous searches by his clone-mates. Now Bob is determined to organize an expedition to learn Bender’s fate - whatever the cost. But nothing is ever simple in the Bobiverse. Bob’s descendants are out to the 24th generation now, and replicative drift has produced individuals who can barely be considered Bobs anymore.
