Description
Three complete novels. Almost 1,000 pages of lighting-paced action.
Anyone who is a fan of Isaac Asimov, Arthur C. Clarke, David Weber will love Jack L. Knapp. And they do. Thousands of copies have been downloaded. This is science-fiction at its best - future engineering, intrigue, first contact....It’s a space opera like none you’ve experienced before. The audiobooks will keep you listening late into the night - you won't be able to stop!
Audiobook 1: The Ship
Building a spaceship that uses Nicola Tesla's revolutionary space drive is only the beginning. From a new industrial revolution to the brink of global war, restless humanity presses onward, eventually to the first contact with an alien species.
There will be changes...if we survive.
Fans of Carl Sagan, Arthur C. Clarke, and Jerry Pournelle will love this hard SF series.
"Readers who like their socket wrenches properly used will love this" - T. Jackson King
"Interesting approach combining near future with imaginative science" - Amazon Customer
"A real 'hard' science fiction novel. Jack Knapp continues to write a good story. I love that his editing is also superb. No more errors than I’d find in a professionally published book." - Ronald Q. Smith
Audiobook 2: NFI
New Frontiers, Inc, is leading the drive to conquer space. Overcoming opposition from powerful and jealous nations is only the beginning. What of the alien society that left those mysterious beacons in the asteroid belt? They’re still here, and they’re not happy....
If you liked John Ringo’s Troy Rising trilogy, you’ll enjoy Jack Knapp’s New Frontiers series.
Much more action, skullduggery, etc. Plenty of new tech, lots of spying, and back door deals. We may be on the eve of WWIII.
Audiobook 3: NEO
World War III is about to break out. As if that wasn’t dangerous enough, the enigmatic extraterrestrials called the Flickers have returned with a warning: do not venture beyond the moon. Faced with the ultimate threat, can humanity put aside their differences and unite to face the common danger?
Fans of Robert A. Heinlein, Isaac Asimov, and David Weber will enjoy this series.
"...a page turner...I was up most of the night." - Blair Howard
"A well written book and a great series that grabs your attention and holds it" - CB
"It’s such a rare event that a story captures my attention so well that I forget to eat and sleep. The author really understands Geopolitics and human nature" - Kindle Scotty

95% Poor dialogue, 195% laughable narration
Before I slam this series, I will state the good. It had an interesting story foundation with believable science,
realistic space travel economics and the fallout from such technilogical revolutions.
The bad:
- Since nearly the entire story is told through dialogue you get to know how every character takes their coffee, the temperature its at when they drink it, what blend it is and and how the person offering it is feeling about coffee at that moment. Seriously at least one entire hour out of this 30 hour story is about coffee... I turned it into a game while listening... lost count after 150 or so.
- Entire chapters are dedicated to the assembly of a single component device, with every single wire, nut, screw and access panel accounted for... however, major plot conclusions are passed over without a single thought and in most cases; without a proper conclusion, clearly not important to the author.
- The author uses "anyways" in moving dialogue forward as often as a nervous speaker says "um". Every character says it at least once during each and every piece of dialogue they have.
The really bad:
- An educated, respectable and sympathetic character legitimately uses the word "retard" in relation to a disabled child. It wasn't done ironically, in jest, or in proper or emotional context. Never been offended by that word before but I was in this story's context.
- Once again, since this is ALL dialogue between many different characters, with varying genders, nationalities and personalities, a very strong narrator is required, I would have settled for a mediocre one. Accents were laughable (and EXTREMELY inaccurate), women's voices were cringe worthy and most of the time you could only tell who was talking by putting what they were saying into context.
- Last but not least, there is an entire chapter that repeats the narrators different takes during recording. He can be heard clearing his throat and chastising his reading errors before making a second and even third attempt... personally, I thought this was HILARIOUS!
- No climax build up, no conclusions, and no satisfaction. Each book just ends with a weak cliff hanger attempt and you're left with a confused, disappointed feeling of "really? Thats it?"
I endured the entire three book series to give a proper review... Do not purchase unless you're stuck in solitary confinement with nothing else but this three part series and a teen vogue magazine.
