About this listen

Kalian Gaines has a secret; he just doesn't know it yet. He looks like us, he lives like us...but he is not one of us.

Kalian knows nothing outside of his mundane life teaching history on 30th-century Earth, until a day like any other triggers a series of events that will tie his fate to that of humanity.

A human handprint, embedded into a rock with alien script, is discovered on a moon that mankind has never set foot on. This discovery holds a secret, which will sweep Kalian into the heart of a conspiracy that has corrupted the galaxy for 200,000 years.

IN MY TOP TEN OF THE YEAR SO FAR,STARTS FAST WITH ACTION AND MYSTERY COMBINED,SLOWS DOWN A LITTLE TOO MUCH AT TIMES TO FILL IN THE BACK STORY AND INTRODUCE NEW CHARACTERS,IF YOU LIKE SPACE OPERA YOU WILL LIKE THIS,HAVE BOUGHT THE SECOND BOOK.

ENTHRALLING WHEN AT IT'S BEST

What I liked most is the novel ideas. Also the pace is relatively quick for nowadays writers aiming at multi-title story arcs. Moving on to Tempest

Novel ideas, quick pace, entertaining

Earth and its only colony are destroyed, billions are dead, but it turns out one man has the immense potential to connect with all matter and energy and bend it to his will, if only he could find an ancient, sage-like being to train him to use the force... err whatever it is... and defeat the dark clad being with the monster sized ship capable of destroying entire stars. Yawn.

Feel the force, Luke

Gave up on this one eventually; a more boring book ...... which was not helped by the narration. In fact, it might have been more interesting if the narration had been better.

Yawn!
