Story4.5 out of 5 stars 290
One thousand years later. Humanity has left Earth behind and is rapidly expanding throughout the galaxy under the banner of The Union, a white supremacist government who racially ‘purified’ the human race hundreds of years in the past. Living on the fringe of this twisted Fourth Reich society, Dark Horse - the only Black man in the Union - commandeers a vessel and scours the galaxy for his missing teammates under the guise of an Exo-Hunter, seeking out exo-planets to satiate the Union’s need for colonization.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 153
Two hundred years ago, aliens invaded Earth. A violent war followed. The enemy won. Some of us escaped, most of us didn’t. On Proxima they flourished - the invasion forgotten. On Earth we floundered - the horror began. Their world is advanced, peaceful, and secure. Our world is broken, savage, and overrun. A new invasion is coming. A hunger that has swallowed half the universe. They don’t care which planet we live on. They want to end us all. But where there is life, there is hope. And where there is hope, there are heroes. This time, vengeance will be ours.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 46
For a dozen years, villagers along the ancient Da River in Vietnam have feared a nightmarish creature who hunts and consumes human flesh. Only in whispers do they mention its name, The White Ghost. To the United States military, this creature has a different name - Marine Lieutenant Trevor Brett, the chemically engineered experiment gone wrong that they will do anything to hide. Sole survivor of his platoon, Brett has stalked the jungle for prey. But the men who made him into a monster are searching for him, and when they find him, the line between hunter and hunted will be blurred.

Summary
In the year 2055, scientists discover something far worse than rising temperatures and rising seas - they discover massive sunspots that are producing unprecedented solar flares.
With little time to prepare for the storms, NASA recruits doctors Sophie Winston and Emanuel Rodriguez to help monitor the solar weather. At first, the duo believes they have been hired for a routine project. But when arriving at the Johnson Space Center they quickly realize they haven't been told everything about their mission. And as a massive storm races toward Earth, they begin to suspect that it isn't a natural event. Millions of miles away something is feeding the storms....

Excellent short prequel!
Solar Storms is a short prequel to the Orbs series! It doesn't matter if you listen to this before or after the series. It's great either way! Solar Storms is about the event that leads up to the Orbs series. Great short story and I can't believe I missed it! Better late than never I guess lol. Another great book by Nicholas Sansbury Smith and a fantastic narration by Bronson Pinchot!

Too short of a story!
As much as I like all of Nicholas Sansbury Smith's stories this one is not worth one credit.

ANOTHER stupid book. I think I'm done with author
I couldn't make it past a few chapters.. as per orb series, bad writing.. ok..childishly immature writing, poorcharacter development and an annoying narrator.
AGAIN I can't be bothered to listen long enough to see how it turns out.
might be suitable for young teens, but not for adult professional sci fi loving crowd who expects intelligent and creative plot twists and depth of character.
it's a sure pass.

Prequel is interesting, but...
I enjoyed the story and even want to read the series, but the narrator was not to my liking. I fell asleep the first time I listened. I had to force myself to pay clear attention and focus the second time. I will read this series and not listen to it.

OK as a beginning
By the time I listedned tothis I had already listened to the entire ORB series. Therefore it didn't do much for me. It would have been interesting if I had listened to it first but it is not necessary to before you do the series.
I got it free on a special and for that price it was very good but I would never have paid it only being only 53 minuses long.
Bronson Pinchot is a better narrator than actor. I always like his narrations. He's very good doiing voices.

Maybe read the main books first.
I probably shouldn't have listen to this before the main books. It barely held my interest.

It's not a book, just a trailer for one.
I realize I should've looked at the running time before wasting my credit on this one, but I'm still annoyed. This is just a short intro to a book, and I'm peeved at the author and myself for wasting a whole month's credit on it. I wish I could return it and re-use my credit for a complete book.

Excellent Prequel
This is an excellent prequel for the Orbs series. It is a short story full of villains and heros before the Earth is raped and savaged by creatures no one could see coming.
