Publisher's summary

The fourth book in the thrilling Donovan sci-fi series returns to a treacherous alien planet where corporate threats and dangerous creatures imperil the lives of the colonists.

Where does one put a messianic cult of practicing cannibals? That becomes the question when Ashanti appears in Donovan's skies. She was designed for no more than four years in space. It's taken 10.

The crew has sealed the transportees onto a single deck - and over the years, the few survivors down there have become monsters. Lead by the messiah, Batuhan, they call themselves the Unreconciled. Supervisor Kalico Aguila settles them at remote Tyson Station. With the discovery of a wasting disease among the Unreconciled, it's up to Kalico, Dya Simonov, and Mark Talbot to try and deal with the epidemic. Only Batuhan has plans of his own - and Kalico and her people are to be the main course.

Talina Perez has brokered an uneasy truce with the quetzal molecules that float in her blood. Now, she, young Kylee Simonov, a quetzal named Flute, and a clueless nobleman named Taglioni rush to save Kalico's vanished party. But as always, Donovan is playing its own deadly game. Lurking in the forest outside Tyson Base is an old and previously unknown terror that even quetzals fear. And it has already begun to hunt.

Great narration. Alyssa brings the story to life. Language may occasionally be offensive but I could not stop listening and it wasn't overt to cause me to stop listening like some books. Great continuation of the story and you know it is good when you are sad that the book ended and there isn't another one to follow. 20 hours went by like snap.

Unreconciled (audible)
by W. Michael Gear
Narrated by: Alyssa Bresnahan

“What happens next,” Michael Gear allows the reader to love a world incomprehensibly different and dangerous than Earth. Having read the prior three books (Outpost, Abandoned, and Pariah), and listening to the Abandoned as I read this book, I am still amazed by his ability to find a new way to look at not only this remarkable world but Human nature. In this series we have explored a new very dangerous world in Outpost, a ghost ship of diabolical nature , and supernatural appearance in Abandoned, and finally the devious nature of a man ready to control the universe in Pariah. Unreconciled is just the beginning of what happens next. As the Ashanti appears on the edge of the solar system the reader is thrown into a nightmare of circumstances. The Freelander frightened readers as it appeared as a mausoleum to the dead, caught between one universe and another, it haunted you. Ashanti may be more frightening than a dead ship. Ashanti has a deck of survivors that are even more terrifying, the Unreconciled. In a world where everything, I mean everything can kill you, now we have people that may make the Quetzal feel at home. The horrifically scarred bodies and religious nature of the Unreconciled show so much the nature of people trying to cope with insurmountable horror. Michael’s ability to create villains that make even Steven King just an amature. Batuhan, is so overwhelmingly frightening in his role you may never have another religiously inspired villain that could match him. His absolute belief in his mission, even though he personally questions it, is frightening. Hearing his inner monolog, you get a thorough look into the convoluted mind of a man on the edge of sanity. His choices to not listen to Donovan's orientation is the marked downfall of his power, his people and his own destruction. He dismisses the warning of the dangerous flora and fauna of Donovan, to the detriment of his people. For those fans who have followed the series as I have, I will give you a warning, there is something more dangerous than Quetzals on Donovan. Thank you Michael for this adventure in danger, nightmares that live, and a new science fictional epic.
Alyssa Bresnahan Has a way of using her voice to add to the story, the feeling of emotion is more prominent as it is read aloud. Only missing Michaels ferocious nature when the characters are vexed. You walk in the world in a more ethereal way than just reading the story.

Least favorite Donavan

Great premise, but too slow/too much introspection by the chief baddie. Every series has a bump, this is the bump for me. Narration terrific as usual.
