About this listen

In a galaxy filled with terrors, the brave men and women of the Union Special Services stand ever ready to defend humanity and those races under its protection from the dark. Listen for yourself the now declassified experience of one agent, codenamed “Friend”, on their mission to discover any possible threats to the Union within the Empire. And see through alien eyes how humanity’s meteoric rise to power is viewed in the broader galaxy.

Inspired by stories from the HFY Subreddit.

One aliens view of how the earth wasn’t conquered, told in his own words over a few nights drinking.

Eye opening and humourous told in the first person - almost HHTGesq

This is why we’ve never yet found intelligent life … Yet

i thoroughly enjoyed this book, i found it entertaining and the world itself interesting. The narrator did a good job of keeping the tone humorous while still getting across what the ailens thoughts of humans. My only nitpick would be the book itself is to short it leaves me wanting more.

I really enjoyed this story, while on the short side it is a blast to listen to. The narrator did an amazing job, I loved the accent he used for the characters. The genre is something I dont think I have encounted before with its kind of first person history lesson type deal but it had me hooked all the way through. I would definitely recommend people give this a listen.

HFY FTW
