About this listen

Witness the rise of man’s first galactic federation: The Terran Alliance.

When Simon and Katherine Hawke stumble upon an alien shuttle that has landed on earth, it’ll not only change the course of their lives, but of the entire world. Taking the shuttle into orbit, they discover a much larger ship left adrift with no one on board. Commandeering it, they confirm that we’re not alone in the universe and must prepare the human race for what is about to come.

Recruiting from all over the world, they begin to expand their fleet and build a federation to give humans a foothold in the galaxy. Thus, the Terran Alliance is formed, led by Simon, Kitty, Gayle, and their new comrades.

Everything is going according to planned as they construct more ships, but the governments of the world are vying for control of these technologies. To make matters worse, their second encounter with an alien species is not one of peace. After the attack, they are left with more questions than answers as they face resistance from, not only outer space, but their home planet as well.

It has the same start as many sifi but so far it’s the only one that worries about the nuts and bolts of what really would happen. Good story and well worth a credit

Good story well thought out.

Not 100% sure why but this story just sort of annoys me for some reason.

First Book I couldn't finish.

I wish there was a selection within SciFi to search for stories about Current Earth. I see there are 3 more books written on 'Stellar Heritage' but can't find them on Audible, where are they? I haven't enjoyed a book for a long time, I would buy his others if I could find them. Well done Bob.

At the beginning I was questioning my choice by the end I was impressed. Stick with it and it develops into a pretty cool book. Well done to all involved.

Very original

It's ok, not horrible. Enough that I want to hear the second book.
More words to get me over the minimum of 15

Predictable and Cliche

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
This is a fun light hearted story with a neat twist on private sector space exploration.
The author seems to have a chip on their shoulder over trust in government but makes a few good points. The pro-American thing gets tedious.
I enjoyed the read (Mark is a great storyteller) got hooked and listened to the subsequent books.
The series is entertaining but listen to “the expanse” series first for a riveting well developed and credible story.

Fun romp with a big dollop of American pie

I had to double check the publication date, after listening for 20 minutes I was convinced it was from the 1950s.

So much wrong with this I hardly know where to start. The characters seldom had reasonable discussions, usually jumping to conclusions, seething with repressed (or not) emotions.

Giving the female characters responsible jobs doesn’t actually excuse dialogue such as, “you got a good one, make sure you don’t lose her “. I suppose there are men somewhere who still talk like that.

The science was mostly glossed over, which I guess isn’t surprising since the humans who found the alien technology admitted that they din’t understand how it worked, though despite that they create endless improvements on it.

The political opinions were repetitious and occasionally contradictory.

The narrator did a good job and it was gratifying to hear the sun referred to as Sol, not the usual Sole.

Juvenile

I don't like to write negative reviews but save your money,characters straight out of a ten year olds idea of adults, unrealistic characters and scenarios, decent concept poorly executed.

very basic story, unrealistic charectors

Terrible book
