About this listen

A military science fiction thriller portraying a dystopian future of corporation greed, exploitation, and deadly secrets.

It started as just another assignment.

Invited by big-hitting corporation ARTOK, combat journalist David Chambers is visiting the planet Parnassus to report on the “Human Enhancement Program” when he witnesses the unthinkable: the crash site of an alien ship.

The huge structure contains alien bodies and, more importantly, alien technology. But before Chambers can digest the scene, a rival corporation invades, and Chambers barely escapes with his life.

Chambers retreats to the safety of his habitat of Orchard accompanied by Richter and his team, but he’s unaware of the extent of the corporation’s reach. On their arrival, they’re arrested. Mysteriously, only Chambers is released, but not before he’s threatened into silence

Richter, however, needs to be heard. His avatar reaches out to Chambers with harrowing tales of special forces, secret missions, violence, and trickery, resulting in the creation of half-humans, half-machines - cyborgs like himself. Richter recruits Chambers to tell his story and expose the terrifying truth of the corporations’ despicable plans for humanity.

But with billions of dollars at stake, the two corporations can’t let the story break and will do everything in their power to keep their secrets safe.

Gripping!

A truly gripping sci-fi!

Two all powerful companies that have the political and military might to match and surpass any existing government are locked in a race to colonise human space. A journalist manages to get caught up amongst it all after realising things aren't adding up. He starts questioning the motives behind the companies space race and seeks to get to the bottom of it. It carries great tension and the world building is fantastic. Going to be listening to the second book, asap!

I loved how the book brought in several different pov's, doing so in a unique way. This was reflected in the narration superbly and really drew me in. The narrator matched the pace and tone of the book; dark and brooding, and gave the characters all an individual flavour.

I received a copy free in agreement of an honest review.

An action packed mystery

The future described in the story isn't a dystopia, its just a rather murky. I recieved a review copy of this book which reveals the strain on an Earth reaching for the stars, balancing a corporate dominated world, a government supersoldier programme, radical terrorists, and the unknown threats hiding between the stars.

The book does this very well, feeling very realistic in its portrayal of the future and I enjoyed it very much. The narration is also very good.

Good mix of military and political

This book involves the story of a group of enhanced soldiers and a journalist. The soldiers and the journalist are at the pawns of a government that really does not want them; but is forced to keep them in case of need. The world building and the interplay is exceptional. The narrator has multiple voices for the characters but displays no emotion and is close to monotone.

This book was provided free of charge with the expectation of an honest review.
