Story
The origins of human history begin to unravel as Earth learns they are not the only humans in the galaxy. The sudden discovery of humans living on multiple planets beyond their own has created more questions than it’s answered. When humanity arrived on New Eden, a hideous new alien race, the Zodarks was discovered. In the face of an existential threat to their own survival, the historical warring factions of Earth will need to unite if they want to save themselves from extinction and understand the true origins on human history.

Story
In the 20th century Earth sent probes, transmissions, and welcoming messages to the stars. Unfortunately, someone noticed. The Galactics arrived with their battle fleet in 2052. Rather than being exterminated under a barrage of hell-burners, Earth joined their vast Empire. Swearing allegiance to our distant alien overlords wasn't the only requirement for survival. We also had to have something of value to trade, something that neighboring planets would pay their hard-earned credits to buy. As most of the local worlds were too civilized to have a proper army, the only valuable service Earth could provide came in the form of soldiers....

Story
Dr. Tyson Klein is a quantum physicist who has dedicated his entire life to his research. At CERN, he analyses data generated by the Large Hadron Collider, the world's biggest and most powerful particle accelerator. Now, Ty believes he's found a pattern in its output. It looks like an organised data stream, being broadcast over what he calls a quantum radio. Could it be a signal from another universe? A message sent from the future? Or something else entirely?

The year is 2108, and the North American Commonwealth is bursting at the seams. For welfare rats like Andrew Grayson, there are only two ways out of the crime-ridden and filthy welfare tenements: You can hope to win the lottery and draw a ticket on a colony ship settling off-world...or you can join the service. With the colony lottery a pipe dream, Andrew chooses to enlist in the armed forces for a shot at real food, a retirement bonus, and maybe a ticket off Earth.

Publisher's Summary
The stars are within mankind’s reach…but what awaits in the void may end humanity.
Mars and the Moon have been colonized, piracy runs rampant in the asteroid belts, and a thriving society grows in the depths of space. Humanity prepares to embark upon its greatest journey - the colonization of Alpha Centauri.
Then, everything changes. A deep space reconnaissance probe discovers a new Earth-like planet 12 light-years from Earth’s sun. The probe also finds something unusual, something...unnerving. A new mission is created, a space fleet is formed, and humanity embarks on unravelling the greatest mystery of all - the origins of life itself.
Can the factions of Earth remain united, or will old rivalries and animosities destroy the fragile peace in the face of this terrifying existential threat? Will exploration prove to be a fatal mistake?
If you love new technologies, fast-paced action, and gut-wrenching turns of fate, you’ll love this military sci-fi series.

Came for Jonathan Davis, stayed for the story
You know the drill. Too many choices makes spending your next credit difficult. Some time ago I started searching for new listens based on good narrators. That's how I stumbled upon this title.
Another review said this book reminded them of Star Trek and other Earth future Sci Fi - I tend to agree. I also like the level of detail in regards to the technology.
Its only early in the series and I can feel the story arcs developing, enough that I'll try the second installment. I'll be looking for more character development. There's some, but there needs to be more in my view. Having said that, its enjoyable and feels to be going somewhere.
However, be warned. Rosone is a Musk fan boy. I did think about stopping right when I first heard a reference, but pettiness is unbecoming someone older than 5.

A Little Childish for Me
I think this book's target demographic is for an adolescent. I've been reading Si FI for over fifty years and a well written book about the future can be mesmerizing in its futuristic possibilities. Not this one....seemed a little silly to me.

Glorious Take On Science Fiction
As a child of the 70's I grew up reading Asimov and Bradbury. Watching Star Trek and Battlestar Galactica. As the 80's came I watched more scifi and military dramas. This novel captures the spirit of many of my favorite scifi novels and movies that I grew up with. I captured my mind and left me ready for the next installment. I am visually impaired so I love that this was available on audiobook along with so many others. James Rosone is a wonderful storyteller!

Bought for the narrator stayed for story
Pleasantly surprised. First…. I could listen to Jonathan Davis read the phone book. You youngsters are thinking “what’s a phone book?”
Doesn’t matter.
Now that the set up for the meat of the series is finished I’m looking forward to the second book. I have already downloaded it so I should get to it.
This book is a good listen. Solid 4 stars.

I couldn't finish...
One of things I adore about scifi is we can pretend to live in a world that has become more color blind, and women like Sigourney Weaver can kick butt. This book felt like 80's TV - give the role of the judge to a black woman, and consider that box checked. No need to find room for blacks or women in any real characters.
The super smart scientist who invented faster than light speed travel was a woman. Cool. Then the next woman we meet is the (presumably) hero's wife trying to seduce him with her new bikini. Next, on a luxury flight to Mars, the pretty flight attendant is happy to serve food to the military men. They discuss how their wives don't like Mars because they "miss their social circles" on earth. Our first female Sargeant is a harpy b**** who treats another sympathetic male characters with suspicion and contempt. Finally, a female admiral (kind of like the black female judge), surrounded by all-male underlings, almost down to the soldier. Entire quadrants are "boys". And presumably white, because the authors went out of their way to describe a historical figure as "an African American Woman". Why weren't other historical figures described as "a White Male"?
Then there was the exposition. "Admiral, why are you worried about the rail gun?" "Because Captain, as you know, when a rail gun is firing, it produces so much heat that the plasma boosters must work to"..., well, you get the picture. Characters who know everything about weapons systems are not explaining the obvious to their peers. Engineers don't remind other engineers about how engines run before tackling the problems. Some exposition is necessary, of course, but savvier writers can provide us with information in a less ponderous way.
I finally threw in the towel when our hero is put on a mission with a woman from his past whom he admires. Given what I'd read so far, I figured a) he'd fight it, but end up in bed with her, or b) he'd manage to resist, despite her desire.
This book felt extraordinarily like adolescent male fantasy. I just couldn't swallow it.

The sci-fi story I always wanted
This is a fantastic example of what science fiction should be which is grounded in reality, without being too boring or dry. I’d highly recommend this book to anybody interested in any kind of sci-fi, As it is brought to life by one of the best narrators I’ve ever had the pleasure of listening to. 10 out of 10
