About this listen

The Silicate War has been over for 15 years, and the tension among the dominant galactic races is growing. Many fear that the Umblegarri, the ancient alien race that ushered humanity into the interstellar galactic community during the Silicate War, have been targeted for conquest by the Crax and their allies.

It's no longer speculation. The invasion is underway and Kra finds himself strapped to a hospital bed, critically injured and surrounded by hostile corporate lawyers, high-ranking military and intelligence officials, ambitious members of the criminal justice apparatus, and an Umbelgarri diplomat. All are demanding answers or their pound of flesh.

Krakista Keesay, a Class-4 Security Specialist, doesn't have the answers they demand. Why did he sabotage a top-secret research facility? What was he doing on a quarantined planet? Why did he set up the civil transport Kalavar for destruction? Is that all? Not even close.

Kra turns to his only option: Allow his brain to be hooked up to an experimental device so that he might prove his innocence. Or lose his mind.

The author Terry W. Erwin II is one hell of an action packed science fiction writer.
Only the first book and twenty two hours of audio with none stop action and twists.
Absolutely wonderful !
Time for the second book of this story “ Relic Hunted “.

Excellent narration by James Conlan with cool special effects and for each of the characters done beautifully.


Got my full
recommendations !!

Oded Ostfeld.

Action packed !!!

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

A more believable story would help. Better narrator with more variety between voices. I gave up part way through the second half.

Would you ever listen to anything by Terry W. Ervin II again?

Nope - not a chance. Terry W Ervin is on my "avoid at all costs" list (I usually use another name for this list, but don't want to be rude).

What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?

I suppose at least the performer's voice was pleasant, but there wasn't enough variety between character voices - leading to losing track of which character was talking.

You didn’t love this book--but did it have any redeeming qualities?

Almost anything/everything led to me being distracted - I was that bored. I persisted as far as I did because the premise had promise, but I couldn't stick with it to the end, I just gave up on it.

Any additional comments?

If you like being bored, or just need some background noise while doing something else, then grab this, otherwise, avoid it.

Boring, and unbelievable
