Story
Arthur lives with his father, a fallen but proud former noble, in Border Village #49, along with the other good folks condemned to toil in service to the Baron. But Arthur has an edge: a stolen heart card that secretly fell into his possession, thanks to a dragon. It’s a priceless source of power for the Baron and the tyrant will kill to get it back. Invaluable, too, to a young man of spellcasting ambitions.

Story
When an experiment to study quantum uncertainty goes spectacularly wrong, physics student Bill Rustad and his friends find that they have accidentally created an inter-dimensional portal. They connect to Outland - an alternate Earth with identical geology, but where humans never evolved. The group races to establish control of the portal before the government, the military, or evildoers can take it away. Then everything changes when the Yellowstone supervolcano erupts in an explosion large enough to destroy civilization and kill half the planet.

Story
The wall just didn’t look right. Alex has been trying to cope. Life after his deployment had been rough. His ex-wife thought he needed to stop disappointing their daughter. She was right. He would try harder. With six hours before his little girl’s fourth birthday party, he saw the anomaly. One wall was too short. Plenty of time to tear out a panel and look behind it. He found a brick wall. His house wasn’t made of brick. Behind that was another just like the first. He still had time. When the second wall came down, Alex stood and stared at the shining doorway.

Publisher's Summary
What if you were thrown into a foreign society, never to see home again? What would you do, and could you survive?
Joe Colsco boarded a flight from San Francisco to Chicago to attend a national chemistry meeting. He would never set foot on Earth again.
On planet Anyar, Joe is found unconscious on a beach of a large island inhabited by humans where the level of technology is similar to Earth circa 1700. He awakes amid strangers speaking an unintelligible language and struggles to accept losing his previous life and finding a place in a society with different customs, needing a way to support himself and not knowing a single soul. His worry about finding a place is assuaged when he finds ways to apply his knowledge of chemistry - as long as he is circumspect in introducing new knowledge not too far in advance of the planet's technology and being labelled a demon.
As he adjusts, Joe finds that he has be dropped into a developing clash between the people who cared for him, and for whom he develops an affinity, and a military power from elsewhere on the planet - a power with designs on conquest. Unaware, Joseph Colsco has been poured into a crucible where time and trials will transform him in ways he could never have imagined.
Cast Under an Alien Sun is a story that's science fiction in premise, adventure in execution - a cross-genre adventure with elements of science fiction, history, hard science, epic fantasy, time travel, romance, alien contact, and space colonization.

A very good book
My only problem is that it seems to jump around to characters a lot which initially makes it difficult to keep up. And in the first book some of these characters don't cross path which makes it very unfortunate for all the build up.

Rough start with a satisfying conclusion
I admittedly almost gave up in this book/series, some story elements pulled me in while others damn near drove me away. I found parts of the book a bore to get through and sped up the narration for some chapters. For me this book didn't really pick up until the final third and boy what a treat. I am completely immersed in this story now and can't wait to start the next.
Others have already said this, but give the book a shot. In hindsight all the boring/filler parts were really just world building that comes together in the end. Highly recommended.

sucks you in
really I decided to listen based on a Sci-Fi recommendation, and my love of isekai (Anime story type) I did fast forward some of the slow exposition but once the story gets rolling it's really quite interesting

Loved this book, hooked on the series now
First time listening to a book from Olan Thorensen and I am very impressed. Loved the book, and Jonathan Davis did an outstanding job as always. Going to binge listen to the rest of the series!

Not that exciting.
I feel like this is a book written by someone who spent their whole life putting people to sleep in the most boring business meetings that ever took place on earth.
Just in case a few of you are still awake they sprinkle it with god talk.
