William “Tell” Davis, our hapless Marine encounters a fight behind the bar as he leaves. He assumes the bigger of the two combatants in the wrong and proceeds to first disarm, then, unfortunately, kill the larger fighter. He discovers that both fighters are aliens and that the larger of the two was a galactic police officer. Tell’s actions have sentenced the entirety of earth to elimination. An interesting and somewhat unique premise, yes? For all us “older folks” out there, you may recall a classic black and white movie called “The Day the Earth Stood Still”. A similar proposition formed the basis for that old film. One of my favorites. The story goes on to describe how Tell attempts to remove earth from the pickle he put it in. The series of plans that Tell comes up with is interesting and imaginative. The detail was a bit exhaustive at times. My only problem is the level of knowledge and intelligence that our Marine Sargeant achieves or has command of immediately. I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Joy of a beginning !



The first of a trilogy.


I truly hope that David Nash complete trilogy will end up in my library,
Listening to his first book was truly fun and hard to put down right from the first page all the way to its ending.
There is some action, Artificial Intelligence and comedy mixed perfectly and in the right proportions.

When it comes onto narration C. J. McAllister mastered it perfectly and beautifully narrates each of the characters, creating a great audiobook !
