Stewart and Porter kill it!

Listen up, i rarely write reviews, but im a huge audible sci-fi fantasy junkie. got completely hooked up on this series bc of im huge porter fan. any new author i encounter i proceed with extreme caution and will only choose a book after literally reading hundreds of reviews.

Stewart is killing it and I think book 4 of Onset just put him into a special category of must listen.

If you are a joe ledger fan or dresden fan this series is a must read!!!

Thank you Stewart for staying committed to the series and writing by far the best book yet. The entire time listening i was constantly thinking how amazing it would be to see as a movie or tv show.

I hope to see Onset Books on first page of sci-fi best sellers soon, bc this series deserves it!

Hell Yeah

My favorite onset book to date. One comment I would have is that I wished it spanned two books and drawed out the invasion a bit more.

Reluctant 2 stars

This book was much more interesting then the first three. That said I'm not willing to forgive the Mary Sue character of David because of what happened in this book. David struggled against the enemy in this book but those struggles didn't make a lot of sense given what happened in the previous books.

The ending was... almost cartoon-ish and anticlimactic.

One particularly annoying aspect of David's character is his Seer abilities. He's told at one point that his abilities will grow with age. Given what happens earlier in the book that means he'll eventually become an omnipotent character. Not even a moment is spent in him considering this or what the implications are. He's been so stoked with power that this revelation is just another check mark on his way to being a god.

Such a great series

This is a series that would make a fantastic Japanese Anime. The final battle in Stay of Execution would be epic.

The Best One Yet

This is a story where a werewolf soldier is among the most normal and mundane characters in the book. The world Stewart slowly constructed in the first 3 volumes really comes to life in the series finale. It's an interesting world with well-developed characters and no shortage of imaginative twists and turns.

I really enjoyed the Onset series, and I expected more of the same when I started this final volume. It wasn't the same, it was head and shoulders above the first 3 books. The books leading up to this finale were all good, I didn't have problems with any of them, it's a great story filled with convincing characters and an imaginative plot. This fourth book, however, knocked it out of the park. The story got even weirder, in all the right ways, and Stewart let his imagination go wild, without overdoing it. And, Ray Porter was just as excellent as he always is, he's one of the world's great narrators. He could make a textbook compelling. Luckily, he had far more than that to work with here.

This appears to be the last book in the series, but if Glynn Stewart wants to write another one, I'll be here for it.

Don’t miss it!

The onset series is another glowing achievement of Glenn Stewart. If you have not read his material before to yourself. You become immersed in an adult fashion with the characters. The fantasy and the magic is believable and the time is terrifying. The human nature of the individuals has brought out, and you have a bigot image of who they are what they are in their challenges, they face. And in great science fiction, we see it mirrored around us even today.

There are many phenomenal characters in the book, many of which could have books of their own. I can only hope. But I do wish there was a glossary of the characters available somewhere. The performance is great yet, I will miss having the paper version in my hands to.

I'd listen to Ray Porter read the phone book.

Ray Porter is amazing. The series was a good read, but do wish David’s team wasn’t constantly changing. I would have loved more time with one core group. The team reshuffle lost the connections with the characters and I found myself caring less and less with each book. Also I hated that Charles’ voice changed in this one for no good reason.

Absolutely fabulous series & readings

I am not going to lie, this whole series was nothing short of fabulous. From beginning to end it flowed so smoothly. And Ray Porter makes it sound so easy. Like he's been reading like this since he was three. The man deserves his accolades, as does Glynn Stewart for such a fine series.

Sorry to see the series end.

Nice wrap up to the onset series. Hopefully the author will create new adventures for them.
