About this listen
Sergeant Cameron "Jet" Shipley was only six years old when the aliens silently drifted down through the skies in 2026. Now, 16 years later, will humanity finally find a way to fight back? Or will mankind be reduced to food?
Terror lurks around every corner, and the rules of survival are simple: stay quiet, move quickly, and don't ever look. It's 2042, and 85% of humanity has been annihilated by "gorgons": horrific aliens with the ability to telepathically paralyze and then consume their prey, leaving the victims to feel every agonizing bite. Mostly impervious and nearly impossible to kill, the best defense against them is simply to run. You just don't look. Brothers Jet and Rutty are part of a military blockade in Clarksville, Tennessee that provides shelter, training, and solace to those willing to fight back.
But when a new recruit joins their ranks and reveals a secret that could change everything, Jet is faced with a difficult decision: follow orders, or fight for the truth? As the brothers navigate a dangerous world filled with gorgons and treachery, they must confront the ultimate question—who can they trust?
Bestselling author Aaron Ryan presents Dissonance Volume I: Reality in the second installment of his dystopian post-apocalyptic alien invasion series. It's perfect for listeners who enjoy tense, thrilling and gritty survival stories about resistance, complex characters, and the intrinsic truths of humanity. With a screen adaption underway for streaming networks, now is the perfect time to order your copy and delve into a gripping tale of survival and sacrifice!

Story
Mitch's mediocre life has just taken a turn for the worse, so his buddy tries to cheer him up by showing him a secret starship. Unfortunately, everything goes south when hostile aliens arrive. In an effort to save his buddy and the starship from the aliens, Mitch does the obvious thing: he accidentally warps hundreds of light-years away. Marooned in a distant star cluster, Mitch is forced to deal with a snarky teenage AI, a rogue auto-pilot, and a beautiful alien soldier who's ready to steal his ship at any moment—so she can fight an oppressive military faction, of course.

Story
Thirty years after surviving a landslide that killed his entire community, Tim is a geologist with the US Geological Survey. When he realizes that Mt. Rainier is about to erupt, he is determined to warn everyone about the imminent danger, only to have his words fall on deaf ears. Jordan is one of the few who takes the warning to heart. Worried for the safety of his elderly parents, he urges them to evacuate. However, they seem unconcerned—Mt. Rainier hasn’t erupted in hundreds of years after all, and it’s too far away to be dangerous.

the balance of ieals
This was a interesting take on an well trampled path. Distopian or post apocalyptic stories have different takes on causes and survival and I always want to discover what problems the author presents and then how he solves them. I always put myself in and think how I might do it. I was intrigued by the bend this book took.
I was most impressed the balance of possibly contrary points-of-view. Often when an author invokes god or Christianity into a story I wonder if it's just to check a box. Selling books in America might go better if it conforms to a presumed idea. God feels real while Aaron maintains a sci-fi storyline. One does not preclude the existence of the other, it can't in reality.

Kept you on the edge of your seat.
Book kept my attention. Was able to build a relationship with the characters. The descriptions of some things were very vivid and I could easily visualize them. Had me feeling for the characters and rooting for them!

Living the story
I could not stop listening. The characters are well developed and the narrator did a wonderful job. The story line drags you along on an emotional journey. I was there in the story. Living the horror and afraid of what was going to happen. This book is well worth the money. I can’t wait to see the next book from this author.

Compelling storyline & characters!
I absolutely LOVED this book! Listening to the author narrate created an intense connection to the characters. I could feel the emotions conveyed through his incredible storytelling! The storyline was unique, compelling, & had me constantly wanting more. I can’t wait for Volume 2: Reckoning to be released on Audible!
