Members Reviews:

great story in the makes

great new story line in the works, cant wait until more books are finished and released.

The Beginning of something Great.

As usual G. Michael Hopf delivers,a new take on the modern world and the many threats faced.

he builds up the story with an Arsenal of characters and a solid plot.the action is well paced and I listened to the book in 24 hours.

looking forward to the story continuing. a very timely read.

Pulled from today's headline news.

Not your usual terrorism apocalyptic fare! There is much background information and conversation before the meat of the story makes an appearance. There is little character development so you dont get to know, like or dislike them. All is not lost though. The story is interesting and especially significant since it roughly follows todays headline events. I like the less-than-usual way the story develops, I only wish it had moved along a bit quicker. The narration is very good, which helps enormously in the delivery.

This was a winner

This book was great. It was almost two books in one. I can not wait to see if there is a sequel.

Sadly it could happen thus way

This book deals primarily with the discord within the U.S. leaving the world vulnerable. it is a bit frustrating as the end of society does not begin until the end of the book (which is sad in itself that it is disappointing to those of us that like a zombie story).

Members Reviews:

Enjoyable end this this trilogy.

It seems this universe will continue on, sometime down the road. Thankfully the entire trilogy was a good read. Memorable characters and some good villains. Worth the price of admission.

A great finish

Press The Line is a fast paced action filled end to the Ganog Wars trilogy. Almost all of the races from the previous books collide and the ending leaves truly significant changes across all of them. If you like sci-fi books at all you'll find a lot to enjoy here.

Another excellent book

This book was fun to read and moved along at a great pace. The story was engaging and kept me turning the pages. The characters were well developed. I hope this author writes another series and keeps that series down to three books as well.

Chris Fox , great story flow!

Mr Fox is among my fav Scifi writer as his stories simply continues with ease of reading. Some authors one needs to actually reread a previous chapter or two but not here.

Good series.

This was a fun series to read. The characters were well thought out and interesting. The plot had a nice flow to it.

Members Reviews:

Quickly becoming my favorite author

Andrew Mayne weaves a spellbinding space tale with the tiniest little hint of a romance that helps to drive the main characters ethics. A fun read from start to finish, though you'll definitely want to read/listen to Station Breaker first as it picks up right where SB leaves off. Highest recommendation.

if you like the..

If you like the work Andrew Mayne dues on his Weird Things podcast with Justin Robert Young and Brian Brushwood, then there is no chance you will not love this book. Mayne hits another home run into orbit with the second Station Breaker!

A Decent Sequel that continues the series

I really wanted to give this book 5 stars. I liked it. It has everything you'd expect from a sequel. More world building. More covert space missions. More extreme space problems. I enjoy the series, but book one pulled me in and didn't let go. This one was slower to start and less of a thrill ride.

If you liked the 1st book you'll like this one, it's a solid sequel. I just wish it was as fast paced and WTF as the first one from the beginning.

First was great second was as great

If you could sum up Orbital in three words, what would they be?

This Book is Great

What other book might you compare Orbital to and why?

Station Breaker Book 1

Which character as performed by Kyle McCarley was your favorite?

Dickson which is the main Character but all the Voices are great

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Multiple times I was Shocked and worried for the characters. And a few times I thought he was going to get laid

never disappoints

All of Andrew Mayne's books are great in this one does not disappoint . it's a great followup

Only the Tigris Khar, trapped on Imperalis, can save her. Caught in a web of duty and honor, the warrior must choose. If he saves his enemy, he damns himself, but if he refuses to help, then the entire galaxy will burn.

Members Reviews:

I loves this series!

This is a fantastic series, though there is much that can be fleshed out and turned into several books *hint hint*. I was disappointed the way the previous trilogy ended so abruptly, but hopefully the gaps can be filled in especially from the Primo side. The audiobook versions are my favorite because I can listen to them on the long commute to work, the narrator does a great job in bringing the story to life. Hopefully, they'll be released more quickly in the future ;)

Great Continuation of the Ganog Wars trilogy.

Hold the Line is a great continuation of the Ganog Wars trilogy as well as the Void Wraith trilogy. I highly recommend listening to the previous books before listening to this one. Our favorite characters from the previous book are back, with lots of great new characters are introduced as well. This book focused a little less on the mech combat and more on infantry (kind of) fighting and space battles. That being said its still a great continuation of the story and definitely worth a listen. The story is truly original and definitely surprised me a few times. The narrator continues to do an amazing job with all of the characters voices, and I dont know if I could go back to actually reading it, versus listening. I look forward to listening to book three.

The author gifted me a copy of this book with no expectation of me posting a review. This review is my unbiased opinion.

Publisher's Summary:

The war is over. Hurray! Half the fleet is back in mothballs. But out on the rim of human space, ships are disappearing. Some are merchant ships going about their business. Others are exploration ships on deep space probes. What's happening to them?

Captain Rita Nuu Longknife is ready to take the heavy cruiser Exeter to space and see what's out there. She may have a nursery next to the captain's cabin and a two-month-old baby on her hip, but she's taking a warship out there, and nobody better get in her way.

Members Reviews:

What military allows a new born infant into space?

I don't understand why it was so important for Rita to bring her child into space. All militaries do not allow any enlisted or officers to be on duty while pregnant or for at least 3 to 6 months after, generally provide daycare, and wouldn't allow an unweened infant onto a military vessel especially one that is expecting combat. i just don't understand the author and it really killed the book for me.

A WINNER !

I like the skepticism and the reluctance. It's the human condition to avoid the obvious .

disappointment

The Star Cross Galaxy in Peril

Great listen and read, can't wait for the next book/audible to see what happens next.

Loved the story, but I found it a little repetitiv

The story in its self is good, but it has massive holes and how many times do they have to describe the aliens of the black ships destroyer of worlds, I counted at least 5 times, was getting annoying. And then not divulging what happened to the people in deep survival areas of the planets that were attacked, did they survive didn't they? It was slightly mentioned later but bloody hell. The battles always seemed to be very similarly discribed also. Very fast moving book. Sometimes a good thing not in this case. Was a fun read though.

Title: The Simpleton

Author: Mark Wayne McGinnis

Narrator: L.J. Ganser

Format: Unabridged

Length: 9 hrs and 23 mins

Language: English

Release date: 01-30-17

Publisher: Avenstar Productions

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 180 votes

Genres: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Sci-Fi: Contemporary

Publisher's Summary:

First contact: assess human with the flawed, rudimentary, mind....

Unbeknownst to simpleton Cuddy Perkins, his dependable, uneventful, life was about to be turned completely upside down.

It's a moonless summer night when a severely damaged intergalactic spacecraft enters Earth's upper orbit. The alien pilot is desperate. He needs to hold up long enough to make repairs - before his pursuers find him.

Cuddy Perkins lives a simple life with his mother, his dog Rufus, and a scattering of farm animals that still inhabit their old, dilapidated, Woodbury Tennessee ranch. He was used to the insults: retard...simpleton...village idiot. Momma says to just ignore them...people can be heartless. But Cuddy already knew he had been different, ever since the accident back when he was seven. He didn't know how long ago that was, exactly, but he did know he was pretty big now - taller than his older brother, Kyle...who was in prison, and the Woodbury Sherriff - the man who put him there.

Members Reviews:

Say What?

Excellent narration. 3rd person POV. Set in present-day small town Tennessee and aboard a spaceship heading for a distant planet.

I feel betrayed by the rave reviews. I had my hopes up, but this was a waste of money and time. Not heartwarming or poignant. Not suspenseful or scary. Not witty or even mildly funny. Just a bizarre mix of characters and relationships, plus unrealistic plot lines, an unresolved ending, and a nauseatingly vapid romance.

One of the decisions the author made was to try to "make nice" with a hateful thug: The sheriff's disgusting son Tony beats a harmless pedestrian to a bloody pulp, leaving him unconscious at side of road, shoots the windows out of a humble home, steals a car, and tries to frame an innocent man. But we should forget all that? Tony should become a hero, and a friend? No. Without extensive rehabiliation, one simply can't make a silk purse out of that sow's ear. That's just one example of the characterization and relationship issues I struggled with in this book.

Contents might be acceptable for younger readers. No sex. Some random swearing, I think. Some disgusting scenes involving torture, etc.

Really bad

I can't believe I forced myself to listen to this 'book'. It was stupid and the narrator wasn't much better.

Not recommended.

Good SF Book - Could Be Good Adolescent SF Read

Very real and believable characters in this southern US passion of science fiction. Bad aliens chase good aliens, humans take up cause, special needs 19 year old becomes above normal and former childhood girlfriend becomes real GF - he has male competition, all the while deciding to enlarge his local, limited world to that of the needs of others, in spite of chasing aliens, but being aided by several A.I. Orbs. Good listen - read instead, if you have to!

Simple and Good

Overall, I enjoyed the story.

The heroes act human and are mostly understandable. Some of the bad guys are BAD and some are a bit grey.

There were a few times when it seemed a bit too simple; almost immature. That was likely the authors intent and maybe he overdid it a bit.

Mostly positive in nature. There was a short part where one of the bad boys was a bit TOO bad for my taste. Only human, I guess (sigh!).

Otherwise, a simple straightforward story which I enjoyed.

The narrator, as always, did a great job.

Language: English

Release date: 01-03-17

Publisher: Podium Publishing

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 81 votes

Genres: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Sci-Fi: Contemporary

Publisher's Summary:

The ending has begun.

The arrival of a metropolis-sized Astral vessel (the so-called "Eternity ship") sounds the opening bell for the beginning of humanity's end. Judgment is over, and now the Horsemen have come to restart the planet's clock.

As the final countdown begins, Meyer and his crew find themselves with only two options: stay in the city and die, or run into the coming apocalypse and take their chances.

But Clara is still missing, and she's found new and powerful friends.

A Stranger has arisen with odd magic on his hands, keeping secrets that even the overlords don't know.

Viceroys in the remaining capitals are tasked with eight disturbing challenges to decide who among humanity lives or dies.

Seven new leaders arise, each with their own unseen talents for the end of days.

And as the deathbringers lay waste to the planet and herald the start of a new epoch, a new force brews out of nothing. One that even the Astrals never saw coming.

This relentless, pause-resisting tale of colonization and alien empire is the sixth in the Alien Invasion series by masters of story Truant and Platt, authors of The Beam, Robot Proletariat, the Dream Engine series, and many more.

Members Reviews:

Extinction Rocks!

Johnny B Tuant and Sean Platt never fail to stir the imagination by bringing interesting and vivid characters to life. Extinction is an excellent example of the plight of humanity and displays a consistent tone of excitement through the entire series. I think these guys could write the phone book and make it interesting!

Another hit from my faves

I have been reading everything these guys write since their early days in self publishing. They are absolutely two of my favorite authors. If you are not a member of their newsletter you are missing out. Anyway, another great series from the guys. Can't wait for last book this September. If you like sci fi, apocalyptic, horror/thriller or just well crafted tales, you will never go wrong with this strong group of authors. Thank you gentlemen for making my older years more interesting and pleasurable

Extinction - Part of a great series.

Part of a series of seven books, several of which I have already reviewed. I enjoyed the entire series and recommend it. The authors develop the plot and characters fully but be prepared to commit. 7 books each over 300 pages is an extended read. Not a negative to me although I found myself reading at odd hours otherwise i'd never get anything done. Keeps your attention and was worth the time. Look at some of my reviews of the other books for additional thoughts.

Killing off Humanity for Fun and Prophet

Another page-turner, we get to see the consequences of what happens after the ark is opened and learn a bit more about the aliens end game.

Magnificent Conclusion to the Invasion Series

Complex doesn't even begin to describe these characters!! Over the course of the seven books in this series, they have all grown and changed significantly. Excellent series, as is everything written by these guys and their other writing partner, David Wright.

I want them all

I just breezed through this book...well, actually, the first three books and went looking for book 4 in the Fallen Empire series but it isn't there yet. Hopefully, it will be soon because I did hear Kate Reading's first chapter of 4 after the epilogue of this book. I guess I'm just not patient when I know that the entire series of 8 books (so far) plus novella's are in print. Not patient at all.

When you find a series you love you get a little demanding or at least I do. It's like fine chocolate or truffles. You want to splurge on it. This series has my attention. I can't wait for what happens next. Hope the wait isn't long.

this series is awesome

so enticing and well read as a trycker it keeps my day going great :)

Great series so far

I am not able to fine the rest of the series with the audio narrative so I can buy them from Amazon.

The first 3 books I have listened to are totally worth it!

ADVENTURE!

Packed with action, good character developement, and enough twists to keep you coming back for more. Wonderful performance by Kate Reading. I can't wait for the next one!

When will the next book be ready to download

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

One of the best space series I have heard in a long time. Lindsay has developed several characters I have come to really enjoy their wit.

What did you like best about this story?

How the author has spun several sub stories in to the main one. you realy need to think about who on first and what on second.

Have you listened to any of Kate Readings other performances before? How does this one compare?

I have listen to the whole series and waiting for the next one to download.

Members Reviews:

the narrator is so annoying

The story is juvenile and not believable. Good idea but just poorly written and the narrator is just laughable.

Lots of action little cohesive plot

Struggles to finish this book! It was very very very very very very very disappointing

A nice conclusion to list fleet!

And the start of a new chapter... I look forward tot the next in the series.

a good series

I enjoy this series. it keeps me going. this book actually kept me on the edge of my seat. it was a good listen.

Narration in Question

I have loved the storylines in this series. However, the narration has, for me, spoilt it, hence only 4 stars overall.

Terrible shame really as I would like to have continued the journey as it looks as though a new direction is about to open up, but I think I'll give it a miss now.
