Killswitch

Cassandra Kresnov, Book 3

De: Joel Shepherd

Narrado por: Dina Pearlman

Two years after the un-hatching of Callayan President Neiland’s plot to make the capital city of Tanusha the center of the Federation, Callay is under siege. So begins the third installment of this gripping trilogy from an exciting new sci-fi author.

A powerful faction of conservative Fleet captains has surrounded Callay, at Earth’s behest, and is threatening a blockade - or worse. A fearful Earth does not wish to lose direct control of its precious war machine, and there are fears of civil war. All that Callay has to oppose the warships of the Fleet is the Callayan Defense Force (CDF) - a newly formed group of raw recruits led by a politically hamstrung general. However, the CDF is largely trained and organized by Major Vanessa Rice and her best friend, Callay’s combat-android, Commander Cassandra Kresnov. But when Cassandra’s lover, Special Agent Ari Ruben, discovers a plot to kill her using a killswitch, which her old masters in the League built into her brainstem, Sandy is forced to go underground to stay alive.

The other Cassandra Kresnov novels

Which scene was your favorite?

The assault on the orbital station

I love this author and this series.

The story has great depth of writing and lost of action. The writing reflects a lot of background gained from the authors time living in India and other southeast Asian nations. The author hails from Australia were he lives now. When younger that author won a few awards for this very series. There is a lot more depth to this series than the Mich Rap, Gray Man, or other like series's ( I have listened to them all).

Dina the narrator does a great job as usual. She is one of my favorites.

According to the author the next books in the series are supposed to be out in September 2013. However, there is no timeline for the audio-books.

I greatly prefer this series to Tom Clancy's current works which have began to show too much political bias.

great!!!!!

Aside from some mispronunciation, it was a great read! I read the series several times in hardback form. But it was great to relive this world. I hope Joe shepherd revisits this Someday.

Continued strong build of the Cassandra story line

On to the next title and looking forward to another excellent listen and humanity lessons learned.

Too much "F" word!

Good narration and character development but too much foul language and sexual content got in the way of a good story.

Kresnov was awful

how weak and goofy Kresnov was, is impossible to comprehend. I really liked Kresnov, but this book ruined the character for me.
