About this listen
Captain Mitchell "Ares" Williams is a space marine and the hero of the Battle for Liberty, whose shot heard 'round the universe saved the planet from a nearly unstoppable war machine. He's handsome, charismatic, and the perfect poster boy to help the military drive enlistment. Pulled from the war and thrown into the spotlight, he's as efficient at charming the media and bedding beautiful celebrities as he was at shooting down enemy starfighters.
After an assassination attempt leaves Mitchell critically wounded, he begins to suffer from strange hallucinations that carry a chilling and oddly familiar warning:
They are coming. Find the Goliath, or humankind will be destroyed.
Convinced that the visions are a side effect of his injuries, he tries to ignore them only to learn that he may not be as crazy as he thinks. The enemy is real and closer than he imagined, and they'll do whatever it takes to prevent him from rediscovering the centuries-lost starship.
Narrowly escaping capture, out of time and out of air, Mitchell lands at the mercy of the Riggers - a ragtag crew of former commandos who patrol the lawless outer reaches of the galaxy. Guided by a captain with a reputation for cold-blooded murder, they're dangerous, immoral, and possibly insane.
They may also be humanity's last hope for survival in a war that has raged beyond eternity.

A great first book in a series!
An interesting concept of time in a never ending loop. Characters are real and often flawed which makes them more believable. Great story that develops quickly. Looking forward to reading book two!

Great read
I like this performer Jeffrey Kafer a lot and my first experience with Forbes. This book went by so fast and kept me hooked from in a good way. Just enough description to visualise characters and settings without slowing things too much. An interesting and creative story where the main character is not just an unfeeling or unrealistic hero but he experiences fears and doubts like all of us but is very likeable. If you like sci fi that moves along and is not painful to follow and not too bogged down with politics then you’ll enjoy this. Okay I’m off to download book two :D

Not bad, safe and predictable.
In comparison to some other more famous Sci Fi series, Forbes' plot beats are telegraphed miles in advance and draw on many popular tropes. I think this is a stylistic choice, so I can respect it for what it is, but it's not precisely what I personally enjoy in a science fiction series.
As an audiobook it works quite well in the background. But when listening to it alone just for the story I found it too cliché and predictable. Eggheads vs brass, sudden appearances of magical technology to drive narrative in place of actual plot, typical romance-fuelled relationship between reluctant fame-shy hero and sassy suspicious outcast leader had me rolling my eyes at some points. It reads more like the plot for a hollywood blockbuster and perhaps that is a medium better suited to a story of this type.
It's definitely not bad, and is a good filler when between other books or as background audio at work. I wouldn't recommend it to friends or family but I'll probably return to the series from time to time when I need something to zone out to.
