Acerca de esta escucha
Do you like The Hunger Games or The Maze Runner but want a cast of characters in their late teens or early twenties? Does the fantasy and science fiction genre intrigue you? Are you a fan of RPG stories and adventures? The Forsaken is perfect for you!
Twenty-one-year-old Luke Edwards is struggling to cope with the death of his parents and the loss of his best friend. Shortly after losing those close to him, he chooses to take matters in his own hands to help those in need. Several months after living in the slums of a city ravaged by poverty and food rations running low, Luke stumbles upon a stranger who rekindles his desire to continue his promise to avenge those he loved. With a renewed purpose, a world revolution is ignited in the hearts of millions versus the wicked faction known as the Children of Iscar.
Our revolution begins today!

It is the morning of the reaping that will kick off the 10th annual Hunger Games. In the Capitol, 18-year-old Coriolanus Snow is preparing for his one shot at glory as a mentor in the Games. The once-mighty house of Snow has fallen on hard times, its fate hanging on the slender chance that Coriolanus will be able to out charm, outwit, and outmaneuver his fellow students to mentor the winning tribute. The odds are against him. He’s been given the humiliating assignment of mentoring the female tribute from District 12, the lowest of the low.

Darrow is a Red, a member of the lowest caste in the color-coded society of the future. Like his fellow Reds, he works all day, believing that he and his people are making the surface of Mars livable for future generations. Yet he toils willingly, trusting that his blood and sweat will one day result in a better world for his children. But Darrow and his kind have been betrayed. Soon he discovers that humanity reached the surface generations ago. Vast cities and lush wilds spread across the planet. Darrow—and Reds like him—are nothing more than slaves to a decadent ruling class.

The ancient magic of wizards was anything but dark. It was the enlightenment that lifted humanity from the squalor of superstition, and the worship of fell spirits and capricious gods, but those days are gone. The shining glory of the sorcerers burned away the subtlety of wisdom, replacing it with easy power, held only in the hands of the elite - a new age built upon the elemental supremacy of aristocrats and the ignorance of the masses.

Outside the towering stone walls that surround them is a limitless, ever-changing maze. It's the only way out - and no one's ever made it through alive. Then a girl arrives. The first girl ever. And the message she delivers is terrifying: Remember. Survive. Run.

Alexander Grant is a little too good at a few too many things. Two dozen martial arts. Twice that many languages. Chess, the piano, sports, forging excused absences, you name it. He graduated high school top of his class 17 times. Of course, no one knows any of this. Not that he wants to go unnoticed. It’s just safer that way.

Promising first novel
First Strike is book number one in The Forsaken series of fantasy novels suited for young adults by talented author Eddy Young. The story follows twenty-one-year-old Luke Edwards as he tries to cope with the loss of his family and his best friend in the world ravaged by war and poverty. But, hope is a powerful thing and he will find a way to do something in order to get a better life and also to fight for a righteous cause.
The writing is good, the action is fast-paced, the world is interesting and the characters that we meet in it are well drawn out and well developed.
The narration delivered by Colin Brown is balanced and suitable for this kind of novel. He reads in a calm voice and he keeps the listener entertained for the entire duration of this audio production. I would have liked more diversity when it comes to switching between characters and a more emotional performance on his part, but he gets the job done and if you listen to the sample and you like it, you can grab the audiobook being assured that you will enjoy it entirely.
Fans of Red Rising, The Hunger Games, and Maze Runner should find First Strike captivating and immersive. This could be a great start to a new, very interesting fantasy series.

I also post honest reviews at the author, narrator, or publisher's request, you can get in touch with me for more details.
