Publisher's summary

Over the years, Connor has pieced together evidence of a mysterious group of aliens who roamed the multiverse and have been to New Earth.

Setting off to make new discoveries about them is straightforward enough, but this is New Earth, and Connor Gates has a knack for finding trouble.

For over 20 years, Connor and Diaz have been friends. They’ve survived two wars and have seen the best and the worst of each other. When a terrorist attack takes the life of Diaz’s son, their friendship will be pushed to the breaking point.

To find who is responsible, Diaz is willing to cross as many lines as it takes. Connor will do everything he can to protect his friend, even from himself. It’ll take everything he’s got to find who is responsible while preserving a peaceful coexistence with New Earth’s inhabitants.

Sometimes protecting your friends is a lot tougher than fighting your enemies.

Impulse is the 12th book in the best-selling military science fiction series, First Colony. Listen to the 12th book in this sprawling space opera today!

Moved a little slow in the beginning

I thought the first half of the book was basically fluff. It moved a little slow. Second half, the action picked up and it got more interesting. The book was also a little short. These things coupled together to make me feel a little cheated. However, I like this series and I like Ken’s writing.

Wonderful continuing storyline

Seems to move you from area to another quickly and non-labouriusly. It's a great storyline. Looking forward to the remainder.

Great transition story

After 2 major wars I was afraid the writer would be finished with this story…. I am glad it didn’t end. There is so much more to explore and FTL would open up even more opportunities.

I really love this book series!

Greatest series but series book 12

This is a great series and the investment is substantial but book 12 gets into to much mamby pamby boy meets girl and relationship crap that majorly takes away from the story. I hope this crap ends and the last books are more substantial

By far, one of the best series I have read!

I absolutely love this series and many others by Ken Lozito. I find a majority of the story exciting and easy to follow, always leaving me to want more. It could not have been narrated by anyone better than Scott Aiello. 10/10 recommend to anyone who loves sci-fi stories of human exploration.
