The Aegis League, Book 2

By: S.S. Segran

Narrated by: Tristan Wright

Length: 13 hrs and 53 mins

Publisher's summary

On a bright July morning in 1948, a B-29 Superfortress flying a top-secret research mission over Nevada crashes into the calm waters of Lake Mead and sinks, remaining lost for half a century.

It has been nearly a year since five friends - Jag, Kody, Mariah, Tegan and Aari - mysteriously reappeared in a small town in Yukon several weeks after their small plane went down in Northern Canada. All were found unharmed but with no recollection of what happened to them after the accident.

A baffling contagion is spreading across the bread-basket of North America destroying vital crops. As this dark shadow marches across the globe, widespread famine and riots bring desperate nations to the brink of war.

These seemingly unrelated events set the stage for a battle between the forces of darkness and those destined to become the "bearers of light". From ravaged fields in the Great Plains to clandestine installations around the world, the Aegis League must race against time to save humanity.

Cool "magoo factor" book

There is something about a 13 hrs and 53 mins book that always makes me smile and think: This is good, or really really bad. So what is the "magoo factor"? Magoo was blind, (read the cartoon!), and i go in blind into all books i read for free. I try to not read about the book before i get it free from AudiobookBlast dot com. One because i like to be surprised, and the other that i can be more honest about what i think. So this scored 4 out of 5 in my "magoo factor", and that makes it a really good but not perfect book.

A nice YA title, lots of action and cool tech.

This was an interesting plot. There are not many boring moments, and lots of action scenes. The nanomite tech was fun and there wasn't an overuse of the characters' powers.
On the downside, the "bad guys" were a little stereotypical, but this is a YA book, so I expected it.
The characters, specially the girls, had the vocabulary of twelve year olds and the voice acting was ok except for the girl voices, that just didn't come out right.
All in all, I think this is a pretty good YA title.

Aegis Incursion

A remarkable tale that sprang from two separate tragedies involving aviation accidents. You won't want to put it down! The storyline flowsfrom beginning to end; it's a hair raising adventure that you won't want to miss. If S.S.Segran isn't on your list of authors to follow you might consider taking the tim to add him to your list!

Reminds Me of a YA Tom Clancy Novel

What did you love best about Aegis Incursion?

The story really held my attention. It was fun. There were a lot of characters, but the way the book was written and read made it easy not only to tell the characters apart, but to get to know them individually.

What did you like best about this story?

I thought the comment about FOX News was hilarious- around chapter 40.

What does Tristan Wright bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

He did each character voice very well. I have to say, the voice he used for the girls reminds me of Tea from YuGiOh the Abridged Series, and that was distracting.

Any additional comments?

The way the tribe of Native people was portrayed both in writing and speaking was problematic for me. I consider it racist to portray that group of people as mystics. The mystic trope for native peoples was invoked, and it didn't sit well. I wish they were portrayed with more sensitivity.

Exciting!

What made the experience of listening to Aegis Incursion the most enjoyable?

I enjoyed the way the author created dimension in the story by creating multiple plots that converge at certain points and also past experiences that influence the current story. I did not realize this book was a sequel until after I read it!

What other book might you compare Aegis Incursion to and why?

Aegis Incursion is a classic Sci fi type book, it is in its own vain, I can't draw a parallel to another book similar.

Have you listened to any of Tristan Wright’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I have not but the narrator did a great job at keeping consistent voices throughout the book, which made it enjoyable and easy to follow!

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes, I listened to this book consistently throughout work.

Any additional comments?

I was given this book for free in exchange for an honest review. I also believe although this book is exciting, it is quite easy to follow and I think it would be best for young adults. Still a good read for any age!

Loved it!

The author provided me with a complimentary copy of this audiobook with no expectation of a review. This book was even better than the first one. I didn't want to stop listening to it and stayed up far too late for just one more chapter. To be honest, I didn't think I was going to like this series based on the title, the cover, and the description. I got the first book in the series for free in 2014 but hadn't ever read it because it just didn't seem like my kind of book. Then the author gifted me this book, so I decided to give the series a try, and I'm glad I did.

The imagination of the author is really amazing. The world she created in the first book was great, and in this book, the kids are back in the "real" world. They go on a road trip and along the way they have to use their powers to battle evil to literally save the world. Along the way, they meet some new friends and old foes. I can't wait to find out what happens next with this series!

Great book!

***I received a ARC for this book in exchange for a honest review***

I've read a great deal of Apocalyptic books, and I have to say this one hits the mark. Well written, and educated seems to fit the bill. The storyline is interesting, and the characters developed. Great book!

Excellent story

Story line was entertaining, and you don't have to listen to the first story in order to dive right in. The story line requires a few leaps of faith in order to enjoy the story line. I would classify this as a young adult book more so than an adult book but it kept me involved from beginning to end.


The performance was not my favorite but it wasn't unbearable or terrible. I think this has more to do with me preferring a different style of performance.

Exceptional YA SCI FI Thriller

What made the experience of listening to Aegis Incursion the most enjoyable?

The interaction of thr 5 main charecters was believable. The dialogue was was compelling and the interaction endearing.

What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?

The narrator Triston Wright has a bit of a sing song cadence that took some time to get used to.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I did not have an extreme reaction but it was an enjoyable experience.

ROLLERCOASTER RIDE

I enjoyed this Good vs. Evil book. A "coming of age" story of five lifelong friends teens.

The story-line clearly developed each character as they grew. Loved the SPECIAL traits of the teens. What really impressed me was the moral strength of these kids. In the face of Life & Death they kept it clean. No drugs, No heavy swearing, No sex, No drinking! Such a pleasant change over most books. A bit unrealistic in today's society but gives the Teens a chance to explore Adult feelings as they grow older.
