After the Galaxy: The Unsung

By: Scott Bartlett

Narrated by: Mark Boyett

The galaxy’s not big enough....

Commander Joe Pikeman has his share of demons. But after a long deployment, he just wants to enjoy some home leave with his daughter.

The galaxy has other plans.

His last assignment takes him to Earth, humanity’s deserted homeworld. There, he finds Earth’s last settlement littered with the bodies of the people who lived there.

As he hunts down those responsible, he runs head-first into some galaxy-shaking questions.

Why did humanity really abandon the galaxy for a computer simulation?

Who would want to start killing off the last real humans left?

There’s one thing Joe knows for sure. If they’re going after his neighbors...his family...his daughter....

They’ll need to go through him first.

Great Book even for those not THAT into Sci-fi

I absolutely loved the book. Im not massively into Sci-fi but the premise of the story caught my eye and I am glad I gave it a listen to. The story. The characters. The premise of the book itself was amazing. I already recommended it to a few friends of mine and I finished the book in only a couple days. I ate it right up. Its worth giving a listen to. I plan on getting the next two books on my next subscription renewal.

Fun read!

But this is available in a box set and you’ll get the whole series - books 1 to 3 - for one credit

Solid sci-fi book

Pretty solid sci-fi here. The premise is intriguing, and the use of the "sub-verse" as a sort of VR world a majority of humanity has retreated to is a rather depressing prophecy of where mankind could go. The first-person narrative took a little to get used to, but Bartlett made it work. I found myself drawn into the story and eager to see what was going to happen next to the main character. The ending was a little vague (though it did tie up most of the the story arcs it opened up), but with it being the first book of a series, that is to be expected.

Mark Boyett did an excellent job with the narration. I don't think I've listened to anything narrated by him before, and I thought he did a great job. I wouldn't hesitate to listen to more performed by him.

All in all, pretty good. I'm curious to see where Bartlett takes the series.

Guy is Ruthless, More of a Criminal Than Most

The story was a twist of most space dramas, different perspective, different names, more dead bodies ...they deserved it, right? But I almost didn't finish it. I can understand snakes on planes, but in space?

Good story!

I really enjoyed listening to this book. Bartlett has created a great universe and Boyett is an excellent narrator.
