Resumen del Editor

Once. Just once. Sheriff Hayden Duke would love to get involved in a mess that didn’t blow up into an all-out disaster.

Not this time.

His hunt for clues has led him to more questions and a whole heap of new trouble: He lost his horse, his newest ally is a wanted man, and the enemy he’s chasing isn’t the enemy he expected.

They’re worse. Much, much worse.

They say no good deed goes unpunished. It's time for Hayden to punish back.

Keeps getting better

Wow, I love this series, we have apocalypse ,
Space opera, western, sci fi, and more all well rolled into one.
I’m reading these books backwards as I found out about it through the new RC Bray book, but the back story is lack arse and well narrated. Do what I didn’t do and figure out the order the books should be read first. So good! Well done to all involved.

top line

loved the book and have become a massive fan of the sheriff and the entire series. Now on to the next one.

good but...

My only complaint with the series is continuity. As others have mentioned the author has a tendency to cutout some major parts of Hayden's development. Years are changed, large changes to his body were cut out for this series, etc. I suppose in a way he's cutting down on what you would consider power creep and keeping him along the lines of a mostly normal humans abilities. However, I wish he would then either explain away the old development or just not write it in.

Another excellent addition to The Forgotten

Sheriff Duke just can't catch a break, but as the war for Earth continues to get more and more complicated, Hayden is up for the challenge. I love how much this series has evolved from a sci-fi/survival horror into more of a sci-fi/western. It's like Firefly and Alien had a baby with Mad Max

One of my favorite series

I started this series with the two free books and have been glued to this series since I started it. I have absolutely loved every one of these books.

Continuity?

I really am enjoying these series of books. Started with Forgotten and I'm working my way through each connected story based in the authors recommended order. There seem to be issues with continuity though. Spoilers ahead.... in the last series Sheriff Duke loses an eye during his torture. It's replaced with an augmented eye with different powers. That seems to be gone here with no mention of it at all, but he does hint at the torture. He was also given a gene treatment that enhanced his healing, reflexes, etc but could kill him in a few months... this was never mentioned. When he took it last series it even said it started healing and removing his many scars, yet it just openly talks about how he is covered in scars in this series. Seems like things just get Forgotten often or just flat out ignored so the story can go different routes now...

Getting dumber each book

I loved the first trilogy with sheriff Duke on the generation ship. Very original. After that it started going downhill. Jonathon Davis' reading is really getting on my nerves. It's withe constant whispering or loud yelling. And his yelling voices actually make me laugh. As bad as that is, now the story itself is getting silly. Aliens living inside humans that control them can be killed, but it always kills the host..... Unless the host is one of the main characters of the story. Sheriff Duke is unkillable. The bad guy aliens never ever miss because they are superhuman, unless they are shooting at sheriff or his close friends. Then it's always grazing wounds. Duke's wife apparently has a PhD in everything because not only is she a structural engineer, she is apparently a software engineer, biology engineer, prosthetic engineer, etc etc. And is a political major. I mean it just keeps piling on how ridiculous the story is getting. It went from original and fun, to predictable melodramatic garbage.
