Earth of Gold and Light

A Prayer for Earthrise, Book 2

De: Daniel Arenson

Narrado por: Bobby Garrison

In a time of peace, a man of war is our only hope.

They say hard times create strong men, strong men create good times, good times create weak men, and weak men create hard times.

Marco Emery was born into hard times. He was raised in war. He grew up in bomb shelters and on battlefields, fighting to survive. He became a soldier. A war hero. Then, after vanquishing his last enemy, he retired to raise a family.

And Earth moved on.

After a century of peace, humanity has sunken into decadence. The grandchildren of soldiers obsess over celebrities. The military is an echo of its former glory. Weak men rule good times.

Then the aliens attack. Merciless aliens. Terrors from deep space. They exterminate a distant colony. And now they're coming here. To Earth. And Earth is helpless.

Almost helpless.

Thanks to experimental life-extending treatments, Marco is still alive. In this new century, he's a relic. An oddity from the barbarous past. Yet in good times, strong men are Earth's only hope.

Amazing!

This audiobook is an absolute gem for fans of science fiction and military epics. The narrator's performance truly brings Marco Emery's journey to life, capturing the essence of a soldier born in hard times and resurrected in an era of peace. The plot is gripping and thought-provoking, exploring the cyclical nature of human strength and weakness. An enthralling listen that keeps you on the edge of your seat from start to finish.

Edgy and captivating

This is a book about the cyclical nature of human society and the price of peace. Marco Emery, our protagonist, is a compelling figure born from strife. His childhood, marked by the horrors of war, crafted him into a soldier of remarkable prowess. The vivid portrayal of his upbringing in bomb shelters and battlefields is both harrowing and deeply engaging, grounding the reader in his grim reality. The century of peace that follows becomes a double-edged sword. The author skillfully depicts a society lulled into complacency, where the descendants of warriors have become preoccupied with trivialities, and the once mighty military has withered into a mere shadow of its former self. This societal decline sets the stage for the novel's central conflict: an alien invasion. I loved everything about the book.

Exciting and Thought-Provoking!

I just finished this and it’s a fantastic listen! The story follows Marco Emery, a war hero from a brutal past, who becomes humanity's last hope against a terrifying alien invasion. The contrast between his hardened experiences and the decadent, peaceful society is really intriguing. If you love sci-fi with a mix of action and deep themes, this audiobook is a must. Highly recommend it!
