Publisher's summary

Created to defeat the invaders. Forgotten in victory. They will rise again …

We were outnumbered, outfought. Mankind was about to fall to the alien Flock. Our only chance was a desperate gamble, transforming Tier One SpecOps agents into deadly super soldiers.

In the end, we won the war, but we lost the peace. The Flock surrendered and spent the next two hundred years making reparations, indentured to humanity, doing everything humans did not want to do. And the evolved super soldiers were consigned to an endless sleep. Ready if ever needed, but in time they became myths. Abandoned and forgotten.

And then, when we were content in our dominance, the Flock revolted against all of humanity across the whole of the galaxy. We fell in a single day.

Which is when the dreams began. People across the settled worlds began dreaming of the Sleepers. The evolved saviors. Acts of rebellion and terrorism swept the galaxy, and in response the Flock ground us under heel.

Lexi Chow, descendant of a hero of the Flock War, believes the Sleepers are real, and are humanity’s only chance against the alien conquerors. With a crew of misfits, criminals, and believers, she sets out to wake the Sleepers. Hoping they will once more save us.

If the betrayed Sleepers are willing. If the Sleepers are even human.

If the Sleepers are on our side at all …

Alpha Wave by New York Times bestselling author Jonathan Maberry and master storyteller Weston Ochse launches a new, sprawling military science fiction adventure that will span the whole of a galaxy at war!

Fun story

This was a fun a story to listen to and of course performed magically by Ray Porter. My only complaint is the pacing was off at times and some of the characters blended in together. The repetitive “Save Me” became annoying at some point, but it was still attention grabbing. Looking forward to continuing the story.

For 200 years, we needed the avatar in

The book is overall good. I’m six hours in and I’ve heard the same story of humans being stupid and I really wish that I was kidding but I think I’ve heard this story maybe nine or 10 times told the same way but differently it’s just dragging it kind of distracts from everything else. I will update when I finish the book but man, if I have to hear the story one more time about the hubris of humans…

Solid Story Line

Good story and well told. I liked the way the author meshed in the history of the two races. There could have been a bit more action, but that's probably just me.

Great Military Sci-fi!

I liked the action and social commentary on humanity the authors incorporate. They put a fresh spin on the age-old trope of himan super soldiers. My only reservation had to do with pacing toward the end. Ray Porter's narration was superb...as usual. All in all, a fun and worthy first installment!
