De: B.V. Larson, David VanDyke

Narrado por: Tom Taylorson

When Lieutenant Alex "Flex" Callahan encounters mysterious alien probes near Luna Station, no one believes his warnings—until it's too late.

Human activity has awakened an alien presence deep in our Solar System. Now, humanity faces extinction as this ancient and forgotten foe launches a devastating invasion. Their goal? To reclaim Earth as their ancestral home.

Flying his Firebird fighter from the carrier ECS Vanguard, Flex leads the desperate fight against overwhelming odds. With superior technology and savage combat skills, the enemy steamrolls through humanity's defenses, conquering colonies from Europa to Mars. Earth's last hope lies with its fighter pilots and their nerves of steel.

Packed with intense space combat, advanced technology, and military action, Titan War delivers a punch-to-the-gut story of humanity's fight for survival. When defeat means extinction, there's only one choice: victory at any cost.

Imperfect hero saves earth.

The narrator is superb! Differing voices depending on character. As good as I’ve ever listened to.
Title character has strong misgivings about mind treatment. Those chapters should be erased. Military folks will give all in service, not whine concerning personal matters.
Poor science concerning solar system motion and distance between planets. Lost all possible belief any type of story. Will not listen to other books in series.

Great Adventure

reat adventure story.. a little bit of acceptance is required but a great way to spend a little time in space adventure

Space Opera with Grit

Im a fan of military sci-fi and a veteran. So, I appreciate realism in my military culture and battle scenarios. Titan delivers both in ample supply. The strategic moves in this conflict made sense to me and seemed authentic. Some of the interpersonal interactions were a bit melodramatic but tolerable. Voicing by Tsylorson was extraordinary! Oh, please disregard the cover art. SMH.

So many cliche static characters

I liked several of the characters but most of women and some of the men were cut and paste cliche characters showing that very little time was spent writing this. Having said that, they're overall plot and many of the sci-fi elements were engaging.

inconsistent writing

The book is full of whiplash between different version of Callahan, and inconsistent motivations and subplots surrounding secondary characters. The setup is poor, the tropes are lazy and not well supported. It feels AI written, but with bad AI.

I have read that it was actually two different authors taking turns, but it seems like there barely talked with one another about what was happening in their chapters.
