Publisher's summary

The marauders, terrors from deep space, hit us hard.

Our starships shattered. Our armies collapsed. Our cities crumbled.

As Earth smolders, the marauders imprison us in camps. They farm us like cattle. They torture us for sport. Earth weeps.

But there is hope.

The Ghost Fleet, an ancient alien armada, might still exist in deep space. In a single starship, Sergeant Marco Emery and his friends seek this mythical fleet. They must find it. They must return with its might. Or the marauders will kill us all.

Plenty of action and gore!

Earth Shadows
Earthrise, Book 5
By: Daniel Arenson
Narrated by: Jeffrey Kafer
This seemed to be the most gory book and the most hopeful book at the same time! Our gang is split up with most in space experiencing some of the most awesome and magical sights and meeting incredible friendly creatures. Unfortunately the part of the gang on Earth is not experiencing magical sights! But there is always hope!

Another great book!

This series is great, there is not really much I can say as a negative... I really look forward to the next, especially with Mr Kafer as the narrator!

Smart, with some genre innovations, & reprisals.

When I've said, "x is so good I can't put it down" I've used this simply as a metaphor for really really good. However, at age 53, I haven't felt this way since I discovered Stephen King, in the 80s. Last night I stayed up for most of the night reading half of book 5. Although this is rooted with a sci-fi setting and plot structure it crosses many genre in a fun and engaging way. So far there are many scenes, throughout, that there are alien races that make Nazis look like a kindergarten tea party I somehow can't stop going to the next level of the story. I really can't recommend this series more.

Another Great book in the Earthrise series.

Earthrise is my favorite Sci-fi series, and book five continues to satisfy. This particular book has a lot of suspens and moments of "well now wtf are they going to do?!" It's great!

Enough is enough

I gave up. I liked the first 3 but in the 2nd story everyone is cruel just for the sake cruelty. The aliens are cruel, the women in the story oscillate between pity, apologising for all of their constant failures and being cruel to their friends and significant others then being cruel and bitchy if they are not met with cruelty in return. And if course there is everyone's door mat, Marco. I can't stomach any more.

More misery

I forced myself to listen through book 4 hoping book 5 would be more upbeat. It wasn’t. Don’t waste your time on this series. And audible won’t let me return the rest of the books.

Cringeworthy, non-immersive, stupid.

Non-immersive, poor writing.. the story is riddled with 20th century cliches despite taking place in the far future. Author also can't help but shoehorn his cringeworthy fad political beliefs into the story to the point it beggers belief. It's immature writing and lacks all nuance. Skip this. Narrator does a good job, though.
