Publisher's Summary

When an enormous and potent alien ship appears in the colony system of Gliese 370, EarthFleet's Marines must investigate. What they find within will change the course of humanity's future yet again, as they face Desolator. The risks are high and so is the price in blood - and the payoff: new technology far ahead of their own, which may provide the key to fight the alien Meme Empire.

Terrible narration

of the many audiobooks I have listened to over the years, I have never considered the narration before. I just assumed that all of the narrator's where decent voice actors... until now. This was the worst narration I have ever heard. Sievers's voice was nasal and he sounded like a computer text-to speech program. Action sequences were difficult to listen to as the narrator only spoke faster instead of actually modulating his voice. Characters were worse. The only accent that he was really capable of was a southern Cowboy accent . Other characters where a mish-mash of Irish or the voice of Montgomery Burns from the Simpsons. This made it difficult to discern who's who if you had missed the introduction of what character was speaking.

The story itself was okay. It is clearly a "filler episode" building up to something bigger in the series.

If you can read the book and avoid the audio you will find the second book in the series more enjoyable.
