Publisher's summary

You know you really made someone raging mad—when they try to kill you with a nuke.

Michael and those who follow him had reached a temporary safe base, but now those in power know his identity.

His people are in a race against time, and it's no longer a question of if they are going to be discovered—but when.

Opposing them are modern-day pirates, slavers, genocidal terrorists, drug cartels, and those who rule the Earth from the shadows. And every single one of them wants to see Michael dead.

When betrayal causes the death of someone close to him, he decides that diplomacy is far overrated. And sometimes crossing the line isn't enough; sometimes you need to demolish it to do what is right. So, set the Geneva Conventions on fire and punish the guilty, because sometimes, mercy is a luxury you cannot afford.

If pain and death are the only things his enemies know, then he will speak their language fluently.

Can they finish and launch the spaceship into orbit before time runs out? And what did the ancient aliens hide underneath the Pacific Ocean?

Really enjoyed the story

Igor Nikolie is a new find for me. Im usually very picky in what i listen too. and I decided to listen to the fist book of this series completely by accident. I have a friend whose little girl decided that the front cover was just too cool to pass up, so it ended up in my library. To my happy surprise I was hooked in no time to the adventure. Igors approach to character development can use a little polishing. However overall the fun adventures to be had and the future of the Solarians is definitely something to look forward too.

Good story

Very entertaining story. Can we lock up a few politicians the same way the high council was? The world would be a much better place!

A Fantasy of Technology to Replace the Creator

To: Igor Nicolic

This is a wonderful story that answers, with surprising finality, the problems of an international Cabal. But the alien tech is an antichrist solution that seems to deftly skirt the deep darkness resident in every heart of man. It is a fantasy of high tech responses to actual structures in the societies of man, like a parable in its' exposure of the powers of demonic human lust that continues to reign over the earth. The word of God, in 1st John points out that the whole world lies in the wicked one, confirming that the first Adam surrendered his co-regency with Creator God, and it is the Last Adam, Jesus Christ that restores, in a rebirth, the children of men becoming heirs to son-ship with God, by gifts of faith. The whole story of the redemption of the creation includes a new heaven and earth.
The truth of God's creation of heavens and the earth is found in Genesis 1. The truth is that the earth is flat. The sun, moon and stars are in within the firmament, very close to the fixed and immovable earth, and they move around the disc of the earth. NASA is filled with Freemasons, Satan worshipers, liars and thieves. The firmament includes the thermo-sphere which will turn any and every element and alloy on the earth into plasma. Man cannot penetrate the firmament, we have never been to the moon and there is no such thing as outer space. Good verses evil is truth vs lies, light vs darkness, eternal life or eternal death in the lake of fire. But the Lamb of God, Jesus Christ, is the One who takes away the sins of the world and He redeems those people who find the grace to believe in Him.
Who is This King of Glory?

He fought the war that threatened my soul with eternal death.
He brought me hope by settling the score and He paid my debt.
He spoke the words that angels whispered in my ears.
He gave me faith enough to believe He had seen my tears.

I wondered how this King of glory could care for me.
I'd loved the darkness of my sin but He set me free.
My ears could hear the love of God and my eyes were made to see
That my heavenly Father gave His Son to die for me.

His Spirit has become my Friend and Guide unto eternity.
The glory of the Living God has been revealed in me.
The hosts of heaven have become the witnesses of His love for me.
Who is this King of Glory who made the universe for me?

The Lord of Hosts has trained me in the warfare for the souls of men.
His love is working in my heart on behalf of those He's chosen.
He intercedes through those that grace and love has crushed and broken,
Ones that He has healed from sin, and who have suffered as His chosen.

Who is this King of Glory who breathed life into this pot of clay?
Who is this Lord of Hosts that has conquered death and sin for me?
His Spirit moves in me to heal my fears and crush my enemies
by the praise of my Redeemer and my trust in Him, that died for me.

It is the Savior, Christ, who has redeemed me for eternity.
It is the Shepherd of God's flock who gave His life for the Father's sheep.
It is my Jesus, the Lamb of God, whose sacrifice has set us free.
He is the King of Glory, He's the One God gave to die for me.

Given me by my Heavenly Father.

This is a great second book in the series

I’ve really come to enjoy this series. Great character development and equally great storyline. I’ve just purchased the 3rd book in the series.

Not to forget, the narration has been top-notch.

Well written. Great news series.

This is looking like a great new author, with a really interesting series for the sci-fi genre. Looking forward to the next volume in the series. If you are a sci-fi fan, the series is right up your alley. Also, they match the narrator perfectly to the book.
