Exo

Book One

By: Fonda Lee

Narrated by: MacLeod Andrews

"A deeply immersive story that balances fantastic, original world building with spine-tingling adventure." --Sabaa Tahir, author of the New York Times bestselling series An Ember in the Ashes

It's been a century of peace since Earth became a colony of an alien race with far reaches into the galaxy. Some die-hard extremists still oppose their rule on Earth, but Donovan Reyes isn't one of them. His dad holds the prestigious position of Prime Liaison in the collaborationist government, and Donovan's high social standing along with his exocel (a remarkable alien technology fused to his body) guarantee him a bright future in the security forces. That is, until a routine patrol goes awry and Donovan's abducted by the human revolutionary group Sapience.

When Sapience realizes who Donovan's father is, they think they've found the ultimate bargaining chip. But the Prime Liaison doesn't negotiate with terrorists, not even for his own son. Left in the hands of terrorists who have more uses for him dead than alive, the fate of Earth rests on Donovan's survival. Because if Sapience kills him, it could spark another intergalactic war. And Earth didn't win the last one...

Exciting Story

Two sides of same view with offspring understanding both but paying a sad price but reaping rewards.

Alien were not sure we love?❤

Great story. A lot of political storylines. You find yourself understanding both sides. So make a great novel to follow. Wish the romance was more involved. Great friendships and loyalty. Fun & adventure. Teen novel.

Great Charters & Story

I really like this story. All the characters were very different and the way they responded to events felt meaningful and true to their motivations.

Exo

I love the plot line, it didn’t end the way I thought it would but I’m excited to read the second book!

Give me another one!

I usually dont listen much to books with aliens and stuff in it, but I love MacLeod and havnt listen to him in a long time, so EXO it was and wasnt I pleasantly suprised by this book.
Much of politics that was well explained and engaged you to understand why people did what they did, lot of cool action that made me chear or wince in symphaty. I mostly liked that the mc actually fell in love but Fonda Lee never took the fokus of the actual story to make it all about that like menny other books I have read.
Really hope there will be another one, want to know what happens to Earth ans the rebells.
