About this listen
The Earth lies in ruins in the aftermath of an extraterrestrial invasion, the land devastated by a desperate war with no winners between mankind and a race of vicious, intelligent creatures. The seas are drying up while the atmosphere corrodes and slowly cooks any life remaining on the now desolate rock. Food is scarce, trust even more so, and the only people left alive all have done horrific things to stay that way.
Among the few survivors is Lucas, an ordinary man hardened by the last few years after the world's end. He's fought off bandits, murderers, and stranded creatures on his long trek across the country in search of his family, the one thing that drives him to outlive his dying planet. What he finds instead is hope, something thought to be lost in the world. There's a ship buried in a crater wall. One of theirs. One that works. To fly it, Lucas must join forces with a traitorous alien scientist and a captured, merciless raider named Asha. But unless they find common ground, all will die, stranded on a ruined Earth.
Combining gritty post-apocalyptic survival and epic space opera, The Last Exodus is the beginning of a new action-packed science fiction adventure where the future of the human race depends on its survivors leaving the past behind.

I figured...."Yeah, this is a comfortable formulaic theme."
I was right..... it's easy to listen to and even enjoy.
BUT ....... first red flag:
the word TRILOGY- means book 2 is only worth a few chapters and book 3 will either be a recovery or failure.
2nd red flag: TRILOGY.
Means this isn't a series, and a typical publishers "3 book deal" based on a strong beginning. NOT being a series, means after 3 books, the idea was dropped.
The FIRST BOOK - EXODUS is strong, comfortable and formulaic. Being the authors first book, the story, structure and flow is well done and leads with wanting to know what happens next.
Book 1 best summarised as "Post-apocalyptic world survivors meet intellectual ET and escape to an unknown future."
But, I'll save you the time.... Book 2 descends into ridiculous. First 5 chapters are readable, then skip 10-15 chapters, read 3 chapters, then read the last 2 chapters.
Because to summarise book two becomes a very disjointed version of "The Hunger Games part 2 meets Alien vs Predator on the ewok world of Star Wars, doing a Die Hard, and ends up in the Matrix Revelations- probably the worst story that went to film."
So, yeah, the author failed in book 2, maybe due to ego or relief that someone accepted book 1 and was too lazy to follow the rules of writing.
Book 3 - forget about it.
It's the Matrix Revelations of publishing.
Either deadline pressure or a lack of discipline just saw the writing descend into too much chop and change, with a ridiculous story that doesn't make sense.
So- just read book one and don't be curious.
("included" complete series means it's the audiobook discount bargain bin of audible..... open at own risk.)
Typical dystopian post-apocalypse survivor story.
