Description

Interstellar colony ship Deliverance. Somewhere in deep space.

The Deliverance is tragically off course, missing its rendezvous with the escaping fleet and leaving the survival of the colony in serious jeopardy.

Pulled out of hibernation years too late, Caleb is thrown into the middle of the crisis and forced back into the fight. With the ship low on power and time running out, it's up to him to find some way, any way, to overcome an impossible situation and get the colony to safety.

Otherwise, the only thing he'll be protecting is a tomb.

Started on this book

Started with this book and was able to follow easily even without reading the first one. I think I enjoyed it up to the end where I think there was unnecessary drama by introducing new hostile WEAK characters at the end. I don’t think I will continue with the series as I have no interests what comes next as there’s so many other stories that have similar plots.

Fabulous Follow-up

The best features of the first book in the 'Forgotten Colony' series were evident when M.R. Forbes took direct inspiration from the 'Alien' film franchise.
'Deception' takes that claustrophobic "trapped-on-a-ship-with-a-horrible-alien" scenario and runs with it. A squad of strike marines guarding a group of earth colonists enroute to a new world find themselves awakened from stasis to hunt down terrifying nigh-invincible (self-healing) creatures lurking outside of the habitat section of the 'USSF Deliverance'. The result is an admittedly unoriginal but satisfyingly tension-driven action romp. Forbes includes easily understandable Popular Mechanics-level science in his plot (CRISPR gene-editing technology, for example), but also suggests that a homeless teenager somehow hybridized 'Trife' (vicious instinct-driven monsters) and genetically-enhanced human supersoldiers more or less in his spare time.
The book thus requires a significant suspension of disbelief - but if you can manage to check your reservations at the door, this - at times ludicrous - narrative is quite entertaining: the combination of horror film tropes, "scientific" conjecture, and military tech & tactics is captivating.

Less fortuitously, Jeffrey Kafer is oddly unemotive in his reading of this book for some reason. Mr. Kafer is a true professional - reading with his characteristic spot-on diction, timbre, and voice-acting - but exhibits a noticeable monotone that makes it sound like he's collecting a paycheck for this project.

Altogether, this often nonsensical - but cinematic - book rates 8.5 stars out of 10. You don't *need to* read 'Deliverance' before this installment.. but the first book in the series introduces the characters and story matrix nicely. I recommend starting there.
It's sad that Audible removed these Podium Audio selections from the 'Plus' catalogue - because they're a praiseworthy distraction. SciFi fans are missing out if they are in any way discouraged from giving the series a try.
