Story
As a sci-fi author with a hit TV show, I have a few ideas about what alien invaders are supposed to look like. In my stories, they’re technologically advanced monsters, with tentacles, and no faces. Turns out I was right about the technology. And about how angry they’d be. But the way they look is more terrifying than even I could have imagined. They look exactly like us. Because they are us.

Silvariah Frandelle, a brilliant and beautiful business woman, falls from wealth and success into exile and poverty, indentured - barely one step above slavery - as an off-world laborer to escape prison. Her last calculated risk as a free woman, paid for with years of service, becomes the key to surviving hostile environments. Space, gravity, and Mars wastelands were expected. Intrusive AIs, obscure experiments, and shadowy foes were not.

What is there left to believe in, when even the gods aren't gods?

Just plain bad.
1. This book is full of mistakes!! It is in real need of a re-write. Mistakes on par with black is white night is day.
As if the author took long pauses between writing and forgot what was what in the storyline when he started up again, not even caring to catch up on what the heck he had written prior.
2. The audio volume shifts(LOUDLY) markedly whenever the "characters" converse using their suit communications or "implants".
3. The narration is suboptimal, possibly worse at times then that of the first book.
4. The story is at times silly and irrational and contrived for reasons that makes no sense other then to make up words.
Composing this review is giving me a headache, this due to my mind attempting to dredge up the many (1) this book suffers from and that it was forced to repress for so as to be able to finish listening to it.
I wish that my aversion to spoilers was less of an issue for me. I could then have supplied a multitude of examples of issue 1.
I am going to return this book for a refund credit and try the third book in this series. If that is equally bad it will be the last book by Chris Kennedy that I ever read/listen to.
PS. Heading for my medicin supplies now to attempt medicating myself to get rid of the migraine brought on by listening to this..

This book epitomizes what you love about military science fiction. Loads of new tech, cool space battles and many sad red shirts dying inglorious deaths. But this if you think Heinlein needs a 21st Century reboot!

Uh....Do I have to?
Would you listen to When the Gods Aren't Gods again? Why?
because the first book was really good, yes I would. however, had this been my introduction to this, not even if were given to me.
What was one of the most memorable moments of When the Gods Aren't Gods?
The back story and history.
Have you listened to any of Craig Good’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
yes, I find him an interesting reader. He is not boring but dry.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
the arrival of the Drakul.
Any additional comments?
this book was a bridge. I hope, to the next book.
