Publisher's Summary

The future isn’t what they expected.

A company of Army Rangers is sent on an interstellar colony ship to secure a foothold on a dangerous, alien planet through violence of action. Leaving behind a warring Earth flung headfirst into a conflict of mutual assured destruction, the Rangers and the accompanying crew of first colonists are guided on a 40-year journey by an unprecedented artificial intelligence.

But when they emerge from the frigid embrace of cryosleep, they awake to a nightmare, finding themselves greeted by the same ruthless enemy that brought about the ruin of Earth. Alone on a dangerous, alien planet and with no hope of rescue or relief, the military colonists are forced to finish the war they thought they’d left behind. And in an unknown galaxy, friends and enemies alike prove to be much more than they seem.

Wayward Galaxy is an explosive military science-fiction adventure featuring defective AIs, valorous soldiers, a brilliant scientist, and gritty combat written by Jason Anspach (Associated Press best seller and cocreator of Galaxy’s Edge) and J.N. Chaney (USA Today best seller and author of the Renegade series).

Awesomely awesome

Excellent story that got me hooked - plenty of misdirection that keeps you wanting to know what happens next. I’m a massive fan on military sci-fi and this delivers. Thanks for keeping me entertained while I wait for the next Ex-Force to come out 😉

Great story but........

Space Force? Man every time I heard it I kept thinking of a pathetic orange man who was once in charge.......

Haha other than that, Brodie will go down in history as one of the most memorable AI's that have ever been imagined. Maybe except for Skippy the Magnificent, or the Bobiverse, but that's an argument for another time. This was a great read and Jason smashes it out the park again. And of course, Bob's narration is second to none. See you all on the next one.

F F Fantastic

The rating of 5 star was easy choice.
Not only characters, story line, i found it engaging on so many fronts.
If your a sci fi buff and don’t mind a little violence
you’ll j j just have to listen and b b be blown away, in particular by one bulky warrior with some of the best one liners history has to offer.....
Well maybe for a particular time period!
I’ll let you decide.

Great military sci-fi

Really enjoyed everything about this book/audio-book. Great story, characters and pace and, as always, brilliant performance from RC Bray

Misses the mark.

This story has a lot of potential but ultimately misses the mark. RC Bray is great as always and his performance is the only thing that really keeps you going in this book.

The story itself has a lot of potential, but it flounders and feels like the writers didn't really know what kind of story they wanted to tell. There are a lot of boring soldier conversations and gun fights that ultimately just feel like filler. I really struggled to care about the characters or the fights that take up way too much of this book.

I came upon this story after finishing what is currently released from Galaxy's Edge season 2 and I fear the authors writing is going downhill. Too much boring war/gunfight fillers and very little substance for a captivating story.

Ultimately I'm disappointed with this book. It had so much potential to be a unique sci-fi war thriller but missed the mark.

Awesome story

Great story with just the right amount of twisty turny plot that keeps the whole thing alive and with, who I think, is one of the best narrators in the business, this story comes to life and now I have to have more. Thanks podium for making me willingly spend more money to feed my addiction. 😉

Not his best

A military fan boy story not really any depth to it but if you like hours of bloodshed and yeehaa talk it might be worth reading.
