Publisher's summary
When the Colony on Hayden's world went black, a team was sent to investigate. It was supposed to be a training mission: skip in, find out the Casimir Transmitter had gone dead, report back and wait for resupply from the Fleet.
By the time the only surviving member of the team made landfall, it was spectacularly clear that this wasn't a training mission. Now Sgt. Sorilla Aida has a job to do. She has to gather the local survivors, recon the enemy, train a militia, and take the war right to the enemy's doorstep. Just what she trained for. De Opresso Liber.

Story
The world fell, the invaders won, and demons now ruled what had once been man's domain. The great works of a once powerful civilization lie in ruins, its people having forgotten the wonders of their forefathers as they now live in the yoke. Not everyone is willing to go quietly into the endless night, however. Human pests still infest occasional parts of the conquered world. In one nearly uninhabitable part of that world, a very young such pest has come of age and, without understanding what it means, she walks in the shadow of destiny.

Almost 400 years the Terran Imperium has languished, an Empire in name only. The young colonies exploded out of the Diaspora Era, supplanting the homeworld in importance as they left a broken world in their wake. Earth's people, guided by the Conwin line, have clawed and climbed from the darkness left the night the lights went out. They built and rebuilt the weary and weakened world they inherited, even when it seemed bent on killing them from sheer spite.

Too afraid to move forward, to take risks. Yet when given the chance to choose between risking his life or walking away from a deadly encounter, he didn't hesitate. Moments before his untimely demise, Felix was snatched from earth and thrust into a magical world known only as "The Continent". Empowered by the "System", he learns that he can strengthen himself through combat and dedication.

For welfare rats like Andrew Grayson, there are only two ways out of the crime-ridden and filthy welfare tenements: You can hope to win the lottery and draw a ticket on a colony ship settling off-world...or you can join the service.

Story
Former Marine Arthur Holland’s destiny begins when an aircraft crashes on his property in the mountains of Colorado. He moves to investigate and to help any survivors, but the closer he gets the less control he has of his movements. An unknown force urges him to open the door of the mysterious craft, discovering the secret that lies within: a dead, alien pilot and a peculiar, otherworldly crystal. If that wasn’t enough, the crystal feels like it is alive. That’s when he hears a single word inside his mind: run.

Story
They hunt us. They bomb our worlds for target practice. A star cluster in the constellation of Orion rotates once every 1,000 years. Those who rule there have an ancient tradition: When each cycle ends, they train their fleets by spilling the blood of lesser beings. The enemy fleets are coming again. In response, the Rebel Worlds gather their starships to face the terrifying threat, and this time humanity is asked to stand with them. The last time they considered Earth, Vikings in longboats were raiding English coastlines. Today, we're less primitive. Today, we're a target.

However, when the dust cleared, the people of Earth were instead scattered to the stars, their home now a frozen waste at the center of a fortress system that none dared approach. Now, Earth's survivors are spread far and wide. Most lost to the stars, but some remained close to their enemy, waiting for a chance to finish the war on their own terms. For the Empire, the sins of the past are converging. The seeds are sown... and Harvest is coming.

So complacent have they become with the overabundance that armed conflict is a thing of the past, and their machines of war are obsolete and decrepit. What would happen if they were suddenly threatened by a terrifying new enemy?

Two hundred years later, the Alliance is cautiously exploring beyond its borders again, but the survey corp is considered a mere gesture by some. General Burgton of the 501st Infantry Regiment believes a lack of expansion is leading the Alliance into stagnation. So when one small ship discovers a new alien race, it should be an easy decision to make contact, but what if the aliens are like the Merkiaari?

so-so
Would you try another book from Evan Currie and/or Dina Pearlman?
possibly - the next one would by Evan Currie would need to be a better story or I probably would not consider any more.
Dina Pearlman was passable, so that wouldn't be a deterrent.
Would you recommend On Silver Wings to your friends? Why or why not?
probably not. the performance was just below average. Not bad by any stretch, but not what I've become accustomed to. The story was somewhat thin in spots with a lot of military process written in. I suppose for military fans, it's worth it, but for me it was just excess noise. The characters were also a bit thin. It seemed like there was a lot of potential for more character development, background, and story, but it was almost just glazed over.
What aspect of Dina Pearlman’s performance would you have changed?
The accents were pretty bad (especially the British). The Russian wasn't terrible, but they were almost distracting. Otherwise, not bad.
Was On Silver Wings worth the listening time?
barely. I have had books where I've asked myself if I even want to bother to finish it. I only asked myself that question once or twice near the beginning.

Good, A Little One Dimensional
The story fell comfortably into the military SciFi genre and the science aspects weren't irritatingly fantastical as some novels of this genre. I was pleased since I've come to expect nothing less from Evan Currie's writing.
Generally, I would characterize the Sgt. Aida as a female version of the Halo series Master Chief. Tough, battle-hardened, focused and cold. However, she came off as too aloof and condescending to those around her, even those with higher rank and more experience in their field of training. It always seems that those she meets are always a bit of a simpleton to her. As an example, near the end she "commands" the pilot of an escape shuttle to take an evasive maneuver due to an incoming threat that only she can detect and when the pilot is slow to react she, essentially, commandeers the shuttle and takes evasive action on her own.
Overall, it was still worth reading, thus my high rating, but not without flaws.

"Great Listen"
What did you like best about this story?
I really enjoy Evan Currie's military sci-fi. If you like his other series you'll definitely like this one. I don't know how he keeps them fresh -- but this series has a number of interesting elements: multiple plot lines (one with an excellent female lead), interesting aliens and good battles. A fun, quick-moving read both in space and on the ground !
Have you listened to any of Dina Pearlman’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
Have not listened before. She does a great job
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes
Any additional comments?
I was given this audiobook in exchange for an honest review

Hardcore alien / military sci-fi
Evan Currie's On Silver Wings is the first installment in a longer story arc of alien first contact beginning on a colony world by invasion. The tale moves back and forth between a lone special ops sergeant on the ground who is the sole survivor of an insertion force and the space based battles against superior alien forces. Much of the tale revolves around military tradecraft with exceptional tactical skills on display. The alien entity is kept purposely vague with some degree of technical superiority, but with few clues as to their overall intentions or motives.
The sci-fi elements are fairly routine military themed examples of weaponry and sophisticated surveillance with unremarkable FTL drives. The alien encounters suggest a crude, but formidable drone / rudimentary AI presence. The focus is directed towards capable., competent soldiers doing their duty under extreme circumstances. In particular, Currie chronicles the exploits of a young female grunt who goes above and beyond the call of duty with a greater role expected for her in the future.
The narration is well done with a good range of voices and solid pacing along with mood matching the action. While not in the same league as some of Currie's other works, this series is still a good listen with the alien mystery the hook to continue the series.

Good story needs editing
Old school editing seems to be dead. Currie has good stuff here and I plan to
Listen to at least one more book. But there are so many as you know bobs and other info dumps plus point of view shifts that it was difficult for me to hang on through the whole book. I strongly encourage currie and editors to remember the greatness of dickens and aspire to that level of tell by show and consistent point of view. Also narration tries too hard for Gravity. Yes its military fiction but let up on the gravitas once in a while. Apart from that narrator was very good.

Serviceable Military Sci Fi
On Silver Wings is a decent story. Something has wiped out a colony on a planet and a military fleet investigates. Soon a lone sergeant is on the planet surface trying to figure out what happened.
In essence, this is a first contact with hostile aliens story. Its all action and has almost no character development. If you are looking for in depth military engagement using souped-up technology, this is the book for you. If you expect a little more from a writer (such as characters you can identify with) or (a writing style that goes a step beyond adequate), this book will leave you wishing for more.
