About this listen
Excerpt: A Dangerous Universe:
A week later, they drew even with M-49 and Jerry announced, “I’m detecting stardrives throughout that galaxy.” Suddenly, Jerry announced, “SIR, I HAVE MULTIPLE STARDRIVES LEAVING THE EDGE OF THE GALAXY AND MOVING ON AN INTERCEPT COURSE!!”
“How many, Jerry?”
“Six and they’re traveling at high velocity. At their current speed, they will intercept us in less than thirty-six hours!”
“Crystal, can you increase the power you’re sending to the stardrive?”
“Kyle, even if I sent all my energy to the stardrive, those ships would still catch us in less than four days.”
“Send the power.” Kyle turned to Jillian, “Are you intercepting their communications?”
“Yes, but the translation program will need more time to decipher their language.”
“Do what you can.”
“What are you going to do?” Annie asked.
“Power up the missiles, Tina.”
“What do you mean by missiles?” Crystal asked.
“We had to develop defenses when you wouldn’t share your weapon technology with us, Crystal.”
“But missiles are useless against a ship inside a stardrive. No one uses missiles to defend them; they are useless against hitting a ship traveling in a stardrive field!”
Jerry turned to Crystal, “I think these missiles might surprise you.”
Jillian turned to Kyle, “What are you going to do?”
“If we can’t get them to turn around, I intend to destroy them.”
“Kyle, those ships are huge and the number of crewmen on them has to be in the thousands.”
“Hey, I’m not the one attacking them!” Kyle stared at Jillian and saw her expression, “What’s got your pants in a wad?!”
“So, I think it’s clear this galaxy is a threat, wouldn’t you say?”
“I don’t think there’s any doubt about that!” Kyle replied.
“So, what are we going to do about it?”
“What do you mean?”
Jillian’s eyes narrowed, “Are we going to wait for them to come and find us?”
Kyle shook his head, “That wouldn’t be good strategy.”
“So, we’ll come out and try to remove them as a threat first, right?”
“Absolutely! Do you have an issue with that?!”
“Tell me how we’re any different from them.”
Kyle stared at her for a long moment and then asked, “What are you saying?”
“They’re only doing what we’ll do, removing a possible threat to their existence. We’ll be just like them going out to exterminate any civilization we deem a possible threat to us, and they don’t even have to be a threat currently; we’ll destroy civilizations before they can become a threat. We’ll just become another aggressive civilization like all the others out there in the universe! Is that what you want us to be, Kyle?!”
From the Author of A Warship Named Sky, comes another story on humanity finding it's place in a Dangerous Universe. This is not a book you'll want to put down.

Story
From bestselling author Saxon Andrew comes Defending Eden. Humans were forced for the second time to flee their planet due to an imminent attack from an aggressive civilization. They decided the only way to avoid fleeing again was to find a planet where they could hide and not be found. They chose a world without oceans covered in forests with giant trees; they named it Eden because of the abundance of life and biodiversity. The climate above the trees was hot year-round and the predators that inhabited Eden were out of a horrific nightmare. Giant meat-eating carnivores, pack hunting ...

Story
The war between different alien groups lasted for over 2,300 years. But Keith Robinson didn't know anything about that. He assumed that the job he had applied for was to work on an Arctic research ship. He thought that he would be assembling parts for upgraded sonar buoys. He thought wrong. The AI on the derelict spaceship was open to lying if that could finally get the ship repaired. Hiring a repair technician from the primitive planet Earth was a crazy plan. And even crazier, it worked. After salvaging an alien ship, Keith now finds himself the ship's owner. But something is deadly wrong ...

The Earth Space Force Military has a huge problem. The massive alien Ogre that they had earlier fought was only an immature little one. The full-grown ones had found some derelict starships and were about to find one with an FTL drive. Keith and his crew were tasked to sneak in and destroy the derelict that contained an FTL drive before the Ogres could find it. To do that, the Meduala sent them a living weapon to assist with the battle. One that the Meduala has spent thousands of years trying to deal with. Is the new weapon more of a problem than the Ogres? The Ghost Ships that contacted ...

What truths lie in the black void between the stars? It’s late September 2019 when a young astronomer working at the Haleakala Space Observatory in Maui, Hawaii, accidentally spots a black dot in the night sky and is calculated to be closely trailing Earth by only seventy-five million miles…on the same ecliptic plane. NASA launches an unmanned probe to Earth’s nearest neighbor, given the name ILK-87b. The images coming back from the black planet both shock and amaze those inside the halls of NASA. Curiosity, fear, and dread overcome insiders as infrastructure is detected on the black ...

Too easy
I liked the world building, but the science is just too ham-handed. Human being given tech and within months are able to improve the technology. Humans have a tech advantage over every alien group they meet. It's just all too easy, and despite the title, the universe doesn't seem dangerous at all. Also, Julien going from linguist to competent captain and then admiral in months is just stupid. Slow the story down and make the characters work for it. Keep writing though, you are on the right track.

Way too many “however”
Would it kill the author to maybe not use the word “However” so much? It would have been a perfect story if not for the however being repeated just about every other sentence when explaining something.
