Publisher's summary

Created to defeat the invaders. Forgotten in victory. They will rise again …

We were outnumbered, outfought. Mankind was about to fall to the alien Flock. Our only chance was a desperate gamble, transforming Tier One SpecOps agents into deadly super soldiers.

In the end, we won the war, but we lost the peace. The Flock surrendered and spent the next two hundred years making reparations, indentured to humanity, doing everything humans did not want to do. And the evolved super soldiers were consigned to an endless sleep. Ready if ever needed, but in time they became myths. Abandoned and forgotten.

And then, when we were content in our dominance, the Flock revolted against all of humanity across the whole of the galaxy. We fell in a single day.

Which is when the dreams began. People across the settled worlds began dreaming of the Sleepers. The evolved saviors. Acts of rebellion and terrorism swept the galaxy, and in response the Flock ground us under heel.

Lexi Chow, descendant of a hero of the Flock War, believes the Sleepers are real, and are humanity’s only chance against the alien conquerors. With a crew of misfits, criminals, and believers, she sets out to wake the Sleepers. Hoping they will once more save us.

If the betrayed Sleepers are willing. If the Sleepers are even human.

If the Sleepers are on our side at all …

Alpha Wave by New York Times bestselling author Jonathan Maberry and master storyteller Weston Ochse launches a new, sprawling military science fiction adventure that will span the whole of a galaxy at war!

Fun story

This was a fun a story to listen to and of course performed magically by Ray Porter. My only complaint is the pacing was off at times and some of the characters blended in together. The repetitive “Save Me” became annoying at some point, but it was still attention grabbing. Looking forward to continuing the story.

For 200 years, we needed the avatar in

The book is overall good. I’m six hours in and I’ve heard the same story of humans being stupid and I really wish that I was kidding but I think I’ve heard this story maybe nine or 10 times told the same way but differently it’s just dragging it kind of distracts from everything else. I will update when I finish the book but man, if I have to hear the story one more time about the hubris of humans…

Great story over a long timeline

It’s like several books all rolled into one. Great characters even though at first it is complexing, it’s does get sorted out. Ray porter’s performance was incredible as usual. I think they are planning another book or two but this one can standalone perfectly

Great story and narration, Sloggish and Repetitive execution.

Overall it was a great story, with great characters. And of course Ray Porter knocked it out of the park on narration. My only issue was how sluggish it was building things up. Some details felt like unnecessary filler, while other more interesting parts of the world weren't explored very much at all. There was also quite a bit of repetitive explanations on certain story elements(a slight annoyance)...I did enjoy and was worth the credit, and I'm emotionally invested in the story and characters now, so looking forward to the next installment!

Ready for Book 2

As always, Ray Porter’s narration transports me to new worlds so effortlessly that I often find myself nearly out-of-body because I’m on some distant planet somewhere. Still, this is a story I’ll need to listen to a second time. (I’ll chalk it up to ‘user error’ that I’m still not clear about who “won” the last battle.)
