Publisher's summary

A lone soldier is gifted the power to save humanity.

When a training exercise at a classified research facility goes awry, Joe Kovacs loses much more than his eyesight. He loses his career. He can’t lead one of the military’s top spec-ops teams if he can’t see.

A decision with consequences.

Joe’s only shot at getting his life back lies in the hands of an anonymous "shadow" scientist. The offer is risky, an experimental implant that may or may not work. He jumps at the chance, but quickly learns the device does more than restore his sight. Much more.

There’s no going back.

Joe begins seeing strange flashes. Ghosts of images, overlaid atop his own vision. Actions he could have taken but didn’t. Worse, the visions are increasing in scope and frequency. Believing he’s going mad, he confronts the scientist, only to discover the implant’s shocking origin.

Nothing is as it seems, and all the possible futures Joe can now see point to a system-wide conspiracy that will shift the balance of power for hundreds of years. Joe’s visions hold the key to stopping it...if he can learn to control them in time.

Don't miss this exciting new military science-fiction series that will make you not only question just what it means to be human, but also if there is ever a "right" side. It's perfect for fans of Halo, Rick Partlow (Drop Trooper), Jeffery H. Haskell (Grimm's War), and Joshua Dalzelle (Black Fleet Saga).

Okay narration, great story.

The narrator is very talented, but it’s not the right narrator for this book. The narrator, on a regular basis, and flex serious tones where serious tones are out of place.
My suggestion is let the narration anomalies go and listen to the story as it is a very good story
I am moving onto the next book in the series and I’m excited for the second book.
As I said, the narrator is talented I just think he would be suited better at approaching a different and differentiating the voices of the males more.

Kinda OK

I listened to some of it. Personally, I couldn't take much of the doctor's accent used by the narrator or what the author had her doing.

I was given this audiobook for free and have voluntarily left this review.

Premise is intriguing

After reading the books in the Chiral saga/Biogenesis War. Which was great btw with just the right mix of political intrigue, thriller, and action to keep me on the edge-of-my-seat! So I expected, when I snatched Vision Rising to be great too. But boy I was sadly mistaken.
I managed to get all the way through to the end, not because I bonded with the MC, I didn't, but because I found the premise to be quite intriguing.

One Great Si Fi Fantasy of the Future!

This is only book 1 in this Series and I can not wait to listen to the next book!! MC Sgt Joe Kovacs is one dedicated soldier, and so during a training session where the after effect causes him to lose his vision, he is devastated. The medical doctor on the highest experimental medical station says there is no fix. A mysterious person contacts him when Noone else is around to offer a possible fix. Narrator does a Great job with the various characters voices and the entire storyline.

Enjoyable, light fare

Solid narration all the way through.

The story was fine, just expect something fun and go with it. Good for those times you're after an action flick.

A Military Science Fiction Adventure

After reading the Biogenesis War series this book was somewhat of a let down. In the military science fiction genre this is about average. There was interesting technology and ideas that the author introduced but there was no connection for me with the MC or any of the other characters, The story just didn't pop for me. I won't be continuing this series but will look forward to the author's next series.
