About this listen

Alex ventures to the Oculi System to industrialize Oculi 9 in what could be humanity's last hope!

In the year 3152, humanity is at war with three species who suppress our existence. While one is more ruthless than the others, our species is viewed as an unstable threat to the galactic balance.

Resources are finite, battle is ubiquitous, and the enemies of Earth are unrelenting. The average human is born to fight for the species’ survival, deprived of a normal life so that one day a future generation may know peace. The expansions of Alpha Centauri are under siege while the Wolf System is down to just a few outposts.

Not all is lost, though. Sol System is well-defended, a beacon of hope that desperately needs materials for its factories to support the war efforts. Call it luck, divine intervention, or just happenstance, but long-distance wormholes are finally discovered, and with them, expeditions into the depths of space bring hope of a restored balance.

A new initiative is born with the singular task of saving the species: The Colony Builders.

Alex, a hero clinging to the slim chance of victory, is initiated into the Colony Builders program. Sent to a distant solar system with a less than ideal crew, a basic replicator machine, and infinite blueprints, it's up to him to help turn the tide through colonization, industrialization, and manufacturing.

His efforts will either turn the Oculi System into something revered, or the planet's threats will consume him.

If you enjoy conveyor belts, blueprints, factories, warehouses, and powerplant creations then join Alex in his quest to save Earth!

The book started off well, giving information while keeping the reader interested. The MC, while not cynical doesn't come across as save everyone after an injury and replace. After agreeing to somewhere in a cargo container with engines, he does exactly what the book says.

However, character progression is none existent as everything happens mostly in weeks at the start, which is where our problem comes, the MC who decides, as a new "LT" and that's very bs within itself. starting as a lt and going to captain or Major? yeah. combine that with his very limited life service? It does not fit the story going from laid back and yet determined to let's destroy everything to save earth, but F*** the other humans the are here. Oh and f*** this new beautiful planet we have too. There's no second book to find out what happens. MCs character goes from likeable to well, you're a dick.

TLDR - writer ruins book by not being consistent and MC goes from likeable to not. No second book (others have been released since publishing but not a sequel) Don't waste time in buying.

Narrator is great though!

Best thing was the narrator.
