About this listen
The mysterious species called Flickers are thought to have a base in the outer solar system. A task force is sent to find out.
Living in the Kuiper Zone, the Flicker want nothing more than to be left alone. But the solar system belongs to humans.
Can the two coexist? Or will history repeat and contact lead to war, as has so often happened in humanity's past?
Against a species far more advanced than the beings they call Terrans?

Out of the blue, a young Space Fleet officer's dream becomes reality: He's made captain of a starship. Just in time for the return of humanity's most terrible enemy, after 50 years of peace. To survive against this enemy, Captain Tad Thatcher will have to do more than learn how to become an effective commander, or how to wrangle his wayward crew. He will need to reinvent space combat. From scratch.

Standing in his way is an ancient spaceship with an emotional AI, nanites that have invaded his body, an international crime syndicate, a suicidal FBI agent on a vigilante mission, terrorists . . . and that's just the beginning.

Story
Eric didn't ask to be a vampire. In fact he didn't even believe in them. Biting your own tongue with your fangs does a lot of convincing. Even so, being a part-time undead isn't as easy as you might think. It can let you hold down a day job, true, but sometimes the night "life" can be more than a little difficult, what with those bloodthirsty urges and predatory instincts kicking in.

From the Audie-nominated narrator of The Martian. In eleven years' time, a million members of an alien race will arrive at Earth. Years before they enter orbit, their approach will be announced by the flare of a thousand flames in the sky, their ships' huge engines burning hard to slow them from the vast speeds needed to cross interstellar space. These foreboding lights will shine in our night sky like new stars, getting ever brighter until they outshine even the sun, casting ominous shadows and banishing the night until they suddenly blink out.

Story
In the 20th century Earth sent probes, transmissions, and welcoming messages to the stars. Unfortunately, someone noticed. The Galactics arrived with their battle fleet in 2052. Rather than being exterminated under a barrage of hell-burners, Earth joined their vast Empire. Swearing allegiance to our distant alien overlords wasn't the only requirement for survival. We also had to have something of value to trade, something that neighboring planets would pay their hard-earned credits to buy. As most of the local worlds were too civilized to have a proper army, the only valuable service Earth could provide came in the form of soldiers....

Great series
I liked this and previous books but I think I have found true hatred for chuck's cheating wife. I think I have this feeling due to how well the author developed his characters. as well as the story line of both characters. as chuck is sacrificing his life and doing all he can she steps out on their marriage. it is a very common thing for females to do and I hate reading about it. other than that I am midway through the book and so far I love the authors creativity.

Brilliant, very entertaining
BEMs: Bug Eyed Monsters: Book Four, the New Frontiers Series. A Great read/listen, A scifi thriller that is really very entertaining. No graphic violence and virtually no bad language.
Narration is first rate, and Tom Lennon's voice is clear and very easy to listen too. Looking forward to the next in the series.
I was given a free copy of this audiobook at my own request, and voluntarily leave this review.
I highly recommend this audiobook to any one who likes scifi or thrillers.

I like the premise.
I just couldn't get very involved with the story. I'm not sure what it was, perhaps not as much action as I'm accustomed to. I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Outside my normal genre
This is my first book by Jack L Knapp that I have listened to. I was pulled into it by the excellent narration. Typically I listen to romance or mystery books, so this is way different for me. The imagery in this book was great! Although this is part of a series, it was very easy for me to follow along. Tom Lennon did an incredible performance with this book and the various characters. He adds the right emotions and suspense to the story.

Flickers and BEMs
Each additional entry in the New Frontiers Series improves on the prior ones. The relationship with the Flicker society and the confrontation with the BEMs moves the series more into the science fiction category than just the near future action/adventure of the previous installments. Tom Lennon gives his usual strong but not overstated narration.

Now we are talking !!!
Jack L. Knapp the author of this series have started slow but in this book his imagination and creation bloomed beautifully with an ancient alien race, with an interesting philosophy way of living which is still not completely understood and another new alien war like race which leads to a space war which ends victorious for the humans but then the twist arrives and a good one.
Tom Lemnon narration of each character is done beautifully as usually without missing a beat !

The Best of the Series
My only real complaint with this series is at times it moved at a snails pace. Jack Knapp gets an A+ on detail and science, but at best a D on brevity.
Not in this one. There is finally enough excitement to make the book hard to put down. Real real honest to God space battle scene!
Truly fascinating alien culture, the Flickers, that are so well fleshed out they really do feel real. BTW, they are not the Bug Eyed Monsters, their alien enemies are which makes the title a little deceiving.
Same narrator as all the others which is fine with me, very clear and easy to listen to.

Great sci fi here
I was given this free review copy audio book at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
I have to say, I really enjoyed this book. I loved the the aliens and sci fi. I thought the narration was great. That I started the series with this book wasn't an issue. In fact, it made me want to back track for the previous 3 books. All in all, a great listen.

The best in the series so far!
The first couple books tended to get bogged down with chapters and lots of dialogue on corporate finance and such, but this book really focused on a more engaging plot line. It’s my favorite in the series so far, I’m excited to read the next!
