A Learning Experience, Book 1

De: Christopher G. Nuttall

Narrado por: Christian Rummel

Earth is not alone. There is a towering civilization out in the galaxy, far greater than anything we can imagine. But we are isolated from the galaxy...until now.

When a bunch of interstellar scavengers approach Earth intending to abduct a few dozen humans and sell them into slavery in the darkest, they make the mistake of picking on Steve Stuart and his friends, ex-military veterans all. Unprepared for humans who can actually fight, unaware of the true capabilities of their stolen starships, the scavengers rapidly lose control of the ship - and their lives.

To Steve the captured starship represents a great opportunity, one to establish a new civilization away from Earth and its increasingly oppressive bureaucracy. But with the aliens plotting their revenge and human factions suspicious of the new technology, it will be far from easy to create a whole new world....

Generic & Politically Slanted

There is nothing new her. It has the makings of a good story, it just needed to be fleshed out. It needs details. Humans join the rest of aliens in space. Yay. There was a battle, you'll never guess how it turns out.
The part that got me was that while the characters have a GOP viewpoint (which I'm fine with), so does the narrative. Just to many political jabs for my taste.

adequate YA story.

Libertarian fantasy disguised as first contact/defenders of earth. As long as you're not expecting well researched, well develloped world building or realistic NPC characters, the story is an adequate YA tale with a definite political slant. The reader could stand to develop more than one "female" voice. I'll probably pick up the next book when I want some light listening.

enjoyable but quirky

the story was enjoyable but pushes its political views a little hard at times. it also comes across as very idealistic in a lot of its interactions with other species always coming across as humans are better than them.

so much relates to the future if PC is continuing

I could really relate to the main character and our current world trends. Thank goodness the USA is trying to reverse the world order. So many of the books world"a governments seem to be accurately portrayed in this future it makes me believe the author has knowledge of our next 50 years. Highly recommended.

Well worth a listen

A fair tilt at a massive social upheaval scenario but stays connected to characters. Also good that they have frailty.
Performance is clear and paced well, but a bit monotonic. Doesn't have to be David Attenborough, but could humanise a tad more

I like the series.

I started off a little lame with stupid aliens losing their star ship but otherwise I really liked the series.

Great book

Very much looking forward to the rest of the series. And to my left friends, IT'S SCIENCE FICTION, get over yourself.

Good set up

The story was a bit generic at times, but for setting up a series it was an alright listen.

loved it

loved it that I'd all I should have to say. 20 word limit stupid. hi uu

Good listen, politicaly incorrect.

And I loved it. no fake woke just good story telling. will be buying the next book.
