Bolt Eaters

By: Isaac Hooke

Narrated by: Eric Martin

Length: 18 hrs and 34 mins

Publisher's summary

Eric was happily retired. His consciousness resided inside the body of an advanced android. He had two beautiful female companions, a platoon of war hero friends, and the entire floor of an apartment building to call his own. He had paid his dues, having saved the world during his previous stint in the army, and now he could live out the rest of his life in peace and quiet. As an android, he expected that life to last a very long time.

And then the army came knocking at his door again.

The mission was supposed to be easy. Travel to an alien world on the far side of the galaxy, do some recon, go home. But the operation proved tougher than expected. A whole lot tougher.

Betrayed by one of their own brothers, trapped on an alien world, and reprogrammed to lead an invasion against Earth - one man’s final fight to save the machines that have become more human to him than flesh and blood.

The lack of the military acumen and understanding of military Personnel conversations makes this book intolerable.

I have really liked the authors books before this series and after too, but this is sop sophomoric and the discussions between the characters are ridiculous. Well many of the characters seem like reboots to his normal formula of characters the dialogue is just pathetic and I imagined. The thought that men and especially soldiers spend all day thinking about whores whores strippers and argue about the size of their Personal anatomy is just ridiculous. As a service man in the United States Marine Corps infantry I can tell you we argued about anything from politics, how much better our hometown‘s were, all manners of life besides our personal parts. The book also lacks the proper conversations that would occur in the rank structure the author provided are Completely unbelievable. Operational dialogue trumps and supersedes all personal feelings and the response of yes,aye Sir, and Poping to action doing it as quick as humanly possible is unfounded. Even with the understanding that these were soldiers that were frozen A different points in their life would not remove the professional military acumen they learned in Boot Camp and in any professional military seems a stretch too far to find believable. The books in the series all followed the same plot line remix sing battle after battle the only thing that changed was the supposed enemy minions with only the more and more unreasonable creatures. This is the first time I’ve written a review this scathing of any author so I am not some jerk or nerd. I said before I have enjoyed this authors books before this one and after this one so I would give them a chance again, but even with the multi book deal audiobooks offered me I still feel a bit robbed and couldn’t force myself to finish. I have paid for many books I disliked, and finished this one is a first for me. I suggest the author speak or listen to some active duty Marines in the future to better accommodate their personalities and the dialogue they share as band of Brothers prepared to cover each other‘s back‘s into any fire fight they are ordered. I assure you the last thing you would say running into a machine gun would be an insult to the man next to you, not just due to personal preservation, but love for the military you serve and the brotherhood you share. Better luck next time Mr. Hooke I hope you can dispose of your formula for the Misogynistic military personnel you utilize in each of your books.Semper Fi

Epic New Series Bolt Eaters Builds Upon the A.I. Reborn and Battle Harem Universes by Isaac Hooke

Don’t listen to negative reviews where they only listened to two chapters; that is completely ridiculous. Give the story a chance to develop and mature, and know that it is in the same universe as two other series by Isaac Hooke, A.I. Reborn and Battle Harem. The Bolt Eaters follows a military unit of Mind Refurbs (humans whose minds have been scanned and inhabit A.I. cores) as they go on incredible missions in an attempt to save humanity. Nothing is expected, twists and turns abound, with incredible battles throughout. You won’t want to miss this, and keep in mind that the A.I. Fleet and The Link are additional series within the same universe as Bolt Eaters, A.I. Reborn, and Battle Harem. It all adds up to one EPIC story.

Mostly Excellent With One Exception

For me, only one thing marred the excellence and enjoyment of this book; that was having the one African American character Slate be such a cartoonish ghetto stereotype. I understand the value of having at least one character in a team providing comic relief; but I think that can be done without reverting to such common negative stereotype as having a black character's every other word be b...h. I hope that if this story continues, the author can dig deeper and add some depth, realism and humanity to that character.

verry slow and dumb

I tried, after I got about 2 hours into it I had to give up.
