Get all four books in the Contingency War Series for one low price. Hours of epic space opera action and adventure with unique heroes and twists that you won’t see coming!

The series includes: The Contingency, The Way Station Gambit, Rise of Nimrod Fleet, and Earth’s Last War.

From book one:

No-one comes in peace. Every being in the galaxy wants something and is willing to take it by force. The Hedalt were no different. They came from the distant reaches of the galaxy to wage war. Their fleet wanted to take Earth for its prize, but we were ready. We were stronger.

For years, we fought them, ship-to-ship, until we scattered their forces and drove them back. Pursuing the Hedalt fleet to their home world, we delivered the decisive blow. We nuked their planet and wiped them out for good.

Or so we thought.

For decades, Earth Fleet sent out Deep Space Recon missions to scour the galaxy and clean up the remnants of the Hedalt Empire. Eventually, we found only ghosts - empty outposts and long-dead colonies. But, close to the edge of known space, I - Captain Taylor Ray - and my crew are about to make a discovery that will change everything.

The war isn’t over. The war has yet to begin.

The book seems interesting. However it's so hard to get past the fact that the Captain sounds exactly like Zapp Brannigan from Futurama. It was a very bad choice for The voice in my opinion and makes the book very difficult to get through.

Lame voice for the captain

It's a good series, but it goes over and over basic points not just in the blending from one book to the next but throughout each book. Expands many points too much. Any who read this will love the characters and development. I recommend it

good series, but...

wasn't too sure about the narrator as some of the choices are questionable but definitely a cute story. keept me intrigued and entertained all the way through and by the end was definitely vested in the outcome. well worth the price.

I really liked this kinda sappy space story

I don't regret the listen, but....

I agree with another reviewer's comments about the unfortunate choice of voice for Captain Taylor Ray. The narrator had excellent skill at voices but chose a lyrical sappy silly voice for the main character that just made it hard to take the book seriously.

Constantly being reminded of "simulant enhanced [fill in the blank capability] was annoying.

And there were flaws. (spoiler alert below)



Casey and Blake came from the same ship but somehow didn't know each other?
Conveniently they never run into another Taylor?
Somehow humanoid aliens are stronger than simulants even though simulants are constantly crushing seats when they forget their own strength.

Entertaining but Simple

A good use of not repeating all facts between books. Some authors feel you have to repeat all the facts and events between books, this was just the right amount. Even though the hero had a great advantage of special power, he was also vulnerable.

A space opera with good continuity

It is a fun story, a little weak on the science but well worth a listen.
I honestly would have preferred the book over the audio version because the reader while clear, did not perform the differing voices well. And the captains voice sounded like a bad comic impersonator's version of Bob Dylan. It hurts the character and the story. The reader would make an excellent nonfiction reader, because voice acting is not his wheelhouse.

The Captain's Bob Dylan impersonator voice is bad

so iv done all four books an I much admit it was done right the chapters are not too long the storyline is a easy follow the characters are put together just right with all the details in this series it was easy one my better spend credits

just a all round great series

but.... honestly Mr Tisdale made the main character sound exactly like Zapp Brannagan on Futurama. literally was who I pictured for the whole series, kinda drew away from the story and was distracting. other than the poor character voices the books are top notch definitely added to my favorite books list.

good story

The narrator is amazing. great story. as a fan of space operas this was a good series to read. I was turned on to both the author and narrator when I got the star scavenger series .( highly recommend)

fantastic space adventure
