About this listen
Universal power is gone ...
Centuries ago, a clean, endless power source was discovered coursing through space. We found a way to harness it and life became easy - no more struggling. Without warning, a technologically advanced alien race came along and just took it away.
We took electricity for granted. Just another bill, sitting on the counter waiting to be paid.
Until it's gone.
Billions perished. Frozen to death in their homes. Starved when manufacturers and farmers couldn't produce enough food.
We'd built a helpless civilization dependent on universal power. The old, simple way of hard work and toiling the land was forgotten.
The aliens just left.
We struggled to survive. We learned, again. Tapped into the Earth, and found resources. Powered our homes and machines.
Then the aliens returned and started imprisoning us. Forced us to mine gold without explanation.
Now, only one woman stands between the aliens and our freedom: Commander Saren Thorn.

Story
Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

It’s not easy making the career jump from office-supplies-store middle manager to heroic interdimensional adventurer. At least, Jason tries to be heroic, but it's hard to be good when all your powers are evil. He’ll face off against cannibals, cultists, wizards, monsters...and that’s just on the first day. He’s going to need courage, he’s going to need wit, and he’s going to need some magic powers of his own. But first, he’s going to need pants.

Story
We were fighting on the wrong side of a war we couldn't win. And that was the good news. The Ruhar hit us on Columbus Day. There we were, innocently drifting along the cosmos on our little blue marble, like the native Americans in 1492. Over the horizon come ships of a technologically advanced, aggressive culture, and BAM! There go the good old days, when humans only got killed by each other. So, Columbus Day. It fits. When the morning sky twinkled again, this time with Kristang starships jumping in to hammer the Ruhar, we thought we were saved.

Several questions have always plagued the minds of those who enter these mythical places of power: why are there so many monsters? Where do the amazing weaponry and heavy gold coins come from?

Then everything changes when the Yellowstone supervolcano erupts in an explosion large enough to destroy civilization and kill half the planet.

In a corporate-dominated spacefaring future, planetary missions must be approved and supplied by the Company. Exploratory teams are accompanied by Company-supplied security androids, for their own safety. But in a society where contracts are awarded to the lowest bidder, safety isn’t a primary concern. On a distant planet, a team of scientists are conducting surface tests, shadowed by their Company-supplied ‘droid—a self-aware SecUnit that has hacked its own governor module, and refers to itself (though never out loud) as “Murderbot.”

Our universe is ruled by physics, and faster-than-light travel is not possible - until the discovery of The Flow, an extradimensional field we can access at certain points in space-time that transports us to other worlds, around other stars. Humanity flows away from Earth, into space, and in time forgets our home world and creates a new empire, the Interdependency, whose ethos requires that no one human outpost can survive without the others. It's a hedge against interstellar war - and a system of control for the rulers of the empire.

Except that the amount of power it takes to actually change, modify, or upgrade anything worthwhile is beyond his abilities. With that in mind, Felix settled into a normal life. A normal job. His entire world changes when the city he lives in is taken over by a super villain. Becoming a country of one city. A city state.

Way over the top Star Trek
All the standard characters are there, but they are like none you have met before. An added treat is a good guy that's the spitting image of the big White Abominable Snowman from the old Stop Action Christmas TV shows.
It is impossible to evaluate the story line in any normal sense. It is ridiculous, absurd and simply great fun for the listener. Can't imagine what the next in the series will be like, but I will buy it as soon as I can.

Exciting and Action-Packed!
If you enjoy sci-fi as much as I do, this book will give you what you want. The action is fun, the characters are interesting and well drawn and this book fits so nicely into the series. Still, you don't have to listen to any of the other books to have great time with this one. The book draws a fantastic new universe with interesting creatures and people - AND conflicts.
Tom Lennon gives an excellent performance. His voice is steady and easy to listen to. He hits the right notes at the right times; get the laughs when he should and builds the tension when he should. Great work, Mr. Lennon!
A wonderful listen and I highly recommend this audiobook!

Great Sci/Fi Adventure!
Well written and well thought out. Can easily support a sequel.
Narrator has good annunciation, but I recommend a software assistance of vocal pressure.
I recommend this audiobook for ages 16 and older due to violence, and some language.
I was given this audiobook for free and I freely give my rating and opinion.

I loved this book.
This story has it all: Si-Fi, Adventure, Thriller, Twists-Turns, Dragons, Magic and more. Dean Kutzler occasionally comes in out of the rain to "be more conventional". That just sets up what is coming next. I highly recommend this book to all. Now for the obligatory: "I was given this free review copy audio-book at my request and have voluntarily left this review." "I was voluntarily provided this review copy audio-book at no charge by the author, publisher and/or narrator.”

Not bad, not my favorite
This one didn't hit my favorites list. I started the book looking for more of the "military sci-fi" but it lands a bit more in the "mythical in space" land. I also prefer my universe creation to be a subtle journey throughout the book, rather than a data-dump at the outset of the book. Finally, the writing skewed jouvenel. Some of the phraseology and word choice was jarring, taking me out of the book. In all, I had my gripes, but I listened through and the story as a whole was alright.

Well executed sci-fi/fantasy
I was given this free review copy audio book at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
This was a great listen. I am in no way a genre purist. In fact, I love when a talented author blends genres in a unique way. Yes, the sci-fi/fantasy blend has been done before, but I thought this one was one of the better ones. The way each element is woven into the story didn't feel forced to me. I liked, and rooted for, the main characters. The narration is done very well. All in all, this was really fun to listen to. I would DEFINITELY be open to more from this author/narrator duo.

No offense to the narrator, but MY GOD, could you possibly of chosen a more boring person!!!
I’m honestly not sure how I felt about this book. It was absolutely the worst narration I’ve ever listens through, and I’m about a 130 audio books deep. I was only able to hang on and get threw it by imagining how a different farragoes would of responded Dee more appropriately to almost every situation and dialogue. The book has plenty of problems it’s self, but it would of gotten a much better rating with a different narrator. If not my first, then this is my second review one over one hundred audible titles…. Good luck. It it’s the same narrator, I probably won’t try book two. Even though it left on a hell of a hanger.

I liked Dean's Jack Elliot series, but couldn't really enjoy this one. I almost quit at one point. The story starts of interesting with humans in the future using an unlimited source of energy, but having an alien race come and take it away from them. They also have to relearn about fossil fuels and the long lasting effects of its use. The story starts off slow and takes a weird turn when the main character lands on an unknown planet. This is where I think too much is thrown into this sci-fi book. We have space, aliens, cyborgs, Gods, Mythical creatures, Magic, etc. There is too much weird tangents going on trying to explain everything. The characters talk like they're juveniles, but this clearly isn't a YA novel. The narration was slow, and didn't really fit for a Sci-fi novel. The uniqueness in the character voices wasn't there and neither was the enthusiasm. Tough listen. I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
