Few know the warship’s actual name. But everyone has heard the rumors. The PUV James Keeling can do something no other vessel in existence can do—slip into another dimension, travel undetected, then re-emerge onto our plane and surprise enemy targets. But the thing that makes the Crypt unique also makes it a nightmare for those onboard; interdimensional travel causes hallucinations, violent behavior, and psychotic breakdowns. Keeling could be the Union’s greatest weapon, a game-changing asset that can defeat the bloodthirsty zealots of the Purist Nation, the Union’s mortal enemy.

The Change affects small fast-breeding mammals first. They multiply with the same aggressive speed as the ExoGen plants, but an insatiable hunger drives them to violence.

In the end, we won the war, but we lost the peace. The Flock surrendered and spent the next two hundred years making reparations, indentured to humanity, doing everything humans did not want to do. And the evolved super soldiers were consigned to an endless sleep. Ready if ever needed, but in time they became myths. Abandoned and forgotten.

Story
Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.

Loved every minute of this and couldn't get enough. Once you start its hard to put down. Great narration albeit a bit spotty at times and can feel a tad bit preachy in some spots. Loved all of the details and descriptions and very well researched.

Good but for some things
I enjoyed the way the story developed however there were a few things that distracted from the telling. Religion and US superiority felt heavy handed though that may actually be accurate to reality. As for the narrator, there were a few words that were pronounced in ways that were annoying. The first was "nuculer" which was said way too much as it stood our because of this. The 2nd is saying SETI spelled out. That is like someone spelling out SCUBA and not saying it as a word. There were others but these were the most frustrating for me.

Mind blowing perspectives! Worth every minute.
Extensive scientific research and detail about the oceans, organisms, and life in it. New paradigms about the formation of life before mankind. I learned more than I ever imagined about the oceans’ currents and the interactions of the planet’s systems. All wrapped up in a story full of action and character-development with an excellent nail-biter conclusion. The author even included a thoughtful comparison of the world’s religions as they relate to the creation of man.

Poorly Paced
For a book about intelligent sea life declaring war on humanity, there are far too little passages that focus on the potentially intriguing international economic and religious impacts of this and more time spent on romances between side characters. Some secondary antagonists are so stereotypical I could predict their lines as they were being narrated.

Loooooong book
The narrator was wonderful. The story was good, not great and I don’t like spending so much time on books that are not really great. The point of the book (in my opinion) is that mankind is not the only intelligent life in the universe and that we usually view other intelligence as a threat worthy of destruction… that we are shortsighted and self-destructive, but a few humans are capable of great good. I was not sure if the “queen being” represented God, but the Judeo/ Christian/Islamic God is treated as a myth, and if he does exist, he is capricious, arbitrary, small minded and protective of Homo sapiens and planet earth. Only.
I would not give this book to a friend.
