About this listen

Get all four books in the Contingency War Series for one low price. Hours of epic space opera action and adventure with unique heroes and twists that you won’t see coming!

The series includes: The Contingency, The Way Station Gambit, Rise of Nimrod Fleet, and Earth’s Last War.

From book one:

No-one comes in peace. Every being in the galaxy wants something and is willing to take it by force. The Hedalt were no different. They came from the distant reaches of the galaxy to wage war. Their fleet wanted to take Earth for its prize, but we were ready. We were stronger.

For years, we fought them, ship-to-ship, until we scattered their forces and drove them back. Pursuing the Hedalt fleet to their home world, we delivered the decisive blow. We nuked their planet and wiped them out for good.

Or so we thought.

For decades, Earth Fleet sent out Deep Space Recon missions to scour the galaxy and clean up the remnants of the Hedalt Empire. Eventually, we found only ghosts - empty outposts and long-dead colonies. But, close to the edge of known space, I - Captain Taylor Ray - and my crew are about to make a discovery that will change everything.

The war isn’t over. The war has yet to begin.

an easy listen mostly quite predictable storyline but still fun an enjoyable the narrator's voice for the captain done my head in as hes sounds like comic book guy from the Simpsons lol
I would say this is aimed more for teens than adults but i burned through this series travelling between jobs and grew fond of the characters

those poor chairs!!

On the face of it, this is a story about human v alien war and attrition. It is difficult to write much detail without giving away some huge spoilers, suffice to say, as the summary hints, there are some significant twists which caught me completely off-guard, which is something I can't remember the last book (if any) which have achieved this so completely.

Instead of risk giving anything away, I will try to focus on the depth of G Ogden's writing.
By this I am mostly referring to the characters and their interaction. At first I settled into the main characters, comfortable in the unsurprising type casts they fulfilled as members of a deep space recon crew. But as the story changed its direction, so did the characters, further justifying what was in actual fact one of the aforementioned twists. It doesn't stop there, you grow with the characters as you learn the full extend of this story.
The settings were visually described without the nth degree of detail that some sci-fi can offer, allowing a little more freedom of the imagination while not detracting from the story or purpose of the scene.

Overall I was waiting for the next opportunity I would have to listen to more and have taken away a host of new ideas,

Thank you G Ogden

An original concept that will surpsie you!
