Sol Arbiter

Sol Arbiter, Book 1

By: Jia Shen, J. N. Chaney

Narrated by: Greg Tremblay

"They call us Arbiters. We arbitrate conflict to keep the peace."

In 2853, humanity has established a presence across the solar system. Linked by a network of FTL gateways called Boson Apertures, travel between the seven colonized worlds and thousands of space colonies takes only hours.

The Sol Federation is the final authority, and the Arbiters travel the system to maintain order.

Arbiters Gabriel Anderson and Tycho Barrett have just been sent to intervene in a growing crisis on Venus. Information is limited, but they know two things: Tower 7 has gone completely dark, and security androids are killing civilians.

No one knows what has become of the tower's 520,000 residents or who is responsible for the mysterious assault, but the priority of the mission is clear.

Tycho and Gabriel must breach the tower, investigate the missing civilians, and locate the one responsible…all while trying to stay alive.

Witness the beginning of an expansive sci-fi epic in this first entry to the Sol Arbiter series. If you're a fan of Altered Carbon, Dredd, or Blade Runner, you'll love this cyberpunk thrill ride.

Wham! Boom! Bang! Action was Sensational!

Chaney make sure that your amygdala is active, so that not just your fight or flight, but your fear section of your brain is extremely energetic! 

He turned off his brain

overall the idea of the story is and good the narrator did a great job, but i cannot stand main charactera that make obvious mistakes like there right off the streets not a highly trained tatical operator with a large number of missions under their belt. i get a few or minor ones this feels contrived forced to and drags down the story. doesnt even feel human

good story, good narration, idiot character

this is one of those stories that I enjoy despite the main character's level of intelligence. some good action some good mystery some good surprises they all add up to a really fun story with a little bit of a twist that I can't say I've seen before. totally worth a listen.

the main character is in a weird limbo between elite military professional and high school idiot. it's only his cycling between the two that drives me up the wall.

I would just prefer more military style communications between the main characters since they're supposed to be elite units. They just don't sound like soldiers.

Other than that it's a thumbs up for sure.

one prime.

Note to self: Try the series if they bundle in the future. or put on deep discount.

Great book and setup for the series

great book and audio work was very good. hope the rest of the series is this good
