Earth is in turmoil.

The enemy is bearing down on us with every warship they have, and our only allies are in chaos.

Our one hope for survival is Andy Clanton - a hack science fiction writer trying to convince some aliens that humans are worth saving.

It’s an uphill battle, because to the aliens, we are the monsters. We look just like their sworn enemies, the Tevynians, who’ve sworn to wipe out both our civilizations.

When everything falls apart and the fate of the galaxy is on the line, can Andy Clanton pull our fat out of the fire?

He’s outnumbered, outgunned, and in way over his head.

But what else is new?

I am enjoying this whole Earth at War series immensely. Scott Aiello is presenting it very well despite being unable to pronounce ‘musette’ but I’ll forgive him that foible. Partlow’s writing is masterful, his characters memorable and if his plotting isn’t as intricate and obtuse as some, I find them enjoyable.

Quality Science Fiction

Scott Aiello also rocks as the narrator. His diverse range of characters makes the storyline!! Looking forward to books 4,5,&6 in audio.

Rick Partlow Rocks!

Just a enthralling adventure could see how fiction could mimic reality in the future. Make you realize we may not be alone in the galaxy

Great story. Riveting

All 3 books are great. It doesn't have that video game plot. This was written by someone who has vast military experience. But I was certain the author was Army, not Marines. The Marine language was almost perfect, I'll give him a 9.9 out of 10. Bulkhead, overhead, deck, ladder well, etc.. Being a Marine I also understand inter service rivalries and criticism of another services language, all in good jest though. I have trained with the 75th Rangers, and they are 9.9 spot on. Julie being a "Jet Jockey" was very good. But Oliverra was almost correct. We Marines, Navy, and Army all know they can't lead, let alone be in charge of a star ship. And that critique is based on one irrefutable fact; Air Force officers will not serve if there is no Officers Club. This how you construct an Air Force base. Next is a golf course. We, the other branches all know this; the order of construction of an Air Force base happens in this sequence. 1st build an O'club. Then a golf course. Next is build housing and barracks. Then a commissary and Exchange. And if there's any money left, build the air field. No Offense. Just good fun. Anyway I'd recommend this book to anyone who wants a serious SciFi book.

This is my first Rick Partlow series and it is really good. For me, a good measure for how a writer develops characters is realized when one is killed off. As weird as it may sound I find if I am genuinely upset or pissed off at the loss of a fictional individual, even secondary characters, I know the author has truly hooked me. Partlow does a great job in this and the previous two books to build a believable universe and dynamic characters. I am interested to see where he takes the series.

Scott Aiello is a better than average narrator and does a good job with the series. I think sometime his accents or chose of voices can be a bit cartoon like, but he understands the pacing and knows how to bring the authors story to life. I really wish he would have chosen a different voice/accent for Julie Nieves though, the accent he uses for her is a bit silly considering she is supposed to be super BA. Although, this a minor complaint and it does not distract from the overall story.

Really great new series

It is a great thing when a writer can change the archetype of their hero and Partlow does. Great story arc and fantastic characters.

Well Done!

The writing is great, the plot works, and the narration is among the best I've ever heard. The Drop Trooper series is also exceptional.

Outstanding series!
