Battle Harem

By: Isaac Hooke

Narrated by: George Newbern

Trapped in the uninhabitable zone with three machine women. All of them very hot. And very horny. Not to mention deadly.

Jason was a little short on creds, so he decided to get his mind scanned. It seemed like a good idea at the time: Get paid to license a copy of your mind for use in one of the numerous machines that run society. What could go wrong?

Turns out, a lot.

Jason wakes up in the middle of the radioactive wasteland that was created 50 years ago when aliens destroyed half the Earth. He has no idea why he's here, or what the hell he's supposed to do. Worst of all, he's no longer human: His consciousness has been installed into the AI core of a state-of-the-art war machine, a mech with enough firepower to raze a small city.

One would think the military wouldn't want to misplace something like that. Whoops.

Hunted by mutated alien bioweapons, Jason travels the wasteland in an attempt to piece together what happened. Along the way, he encounters a few abandoned war machines that also have no memory of their mission, machines that can't decide whether they want to join him or kill him. It doesn't help that in VR they all look like super hot women.

When Jason and his new companions discover what they're truly capable of, however, everything changes. And not necessarily for the better.

As his new team of deadly female war machines, The War Forgers, struggle to overcome their pesky human emotions, war is on the horizon. Can Jason pull the team together and overcome not only his demons, but those of the War Forgers, in time to save humanity? And more importantly, can he save the team itself?

Warning: This book contains bloodthirsty alien mutants, angry robots, violence, swearing, and a harem full of beautiful machine women.

I enjoyed it

I enjoyed this part of the series of this universe. Next is the A.I. Empire series.

Ok

I thought it was an ok story. I felt like it could have flowed better. At times it felt to jump and others the story dragged a bit. Overall a mediocre book.

Entertaining

This book is entertaining and good for long road trips. It is not a deep thought book but a light hearted science fiction book. Try it

it is okay

I didn't struggle to finish it it's just I didn't have punch motivation to finish, the characters aren't quite as developed as they could be especially by the end with so many characters. it did introduce a couple of relatively unique concepts which is why I bother to finish the book but character development Or at least character empathy is mediocre. if you're looking for action this is a good book though can't get repetitive.

hard to judge this

I like the story and am going to continue, But there's just to much sex and boracov's raping of women doesn't sit well. its another one of those series that feels like it's written by a feminist author that thinks she's on a winner because she can pull in a load of horny sci fi enthusiast's or teenagers. The story would be so much better without that. It feels childish and leaves you feeling torn or just wanting to return the book.

An entertaining ride, if a bit flawed.

This was a, umm, different type of story compared to most I enjoy. It was quite entertaining at times and pretty good through the first 2 parts. Sort of like a more adult Bob. Unfortunately, I rather thought that it went a bit off the rails in the final part.

Also, although I thought the narrator did a great job with the voices, I found his loud inhales distracting at times, most other narrators don't bother me as much.

Horrid narrator. The narrator was horrible.

The narrator was horrible. He actually made a good story impossible to listen to. It's a shame.

not A great book.

I loved Isaac Hookes A.I. FLEET series. This one not so much. I probably would have loved it if I was a teenager still. but I'm 48 so the Male wish fulfillment of having a harem is kinda lost on me. I can barely handle my wife so 5 more would make me activate my self destruct. Every teen guy dreams of having a harem of beautiful women who have eyes for just him. all the female characters are 1 dimensional characters who hang on the main characters every word and surrender any sense of self to the douche nozzle main character.

Great book, Good performance.

Great story, very intriguing from start to finish. the narrator did a great job with the voices, but you can clearly hear him inhaling every few seconds, and there were several times where he pauses and it sounds out of place (it almost sounds like the playback freezes or the chapter has ended, but then he'll keep going) I normally don't mind these things but this is a very long book and they happen very frequently. Overall I was very satisfied, and would definitely recommend this for anyone who wants a good sci-fi harem that's not so explicit you'd feel uncomfortable listening in public.

Good escapist fun and not too predictable.

Finished book 1. Not a lot new here but I liked it.
Interesting blend of scifi genres with character development (of AIs that is) in an older teenager form. I'm over 60 and enjoyed it anyway. BUT where is audible Battle Harem book 2 and 3? Kindle released but no audible yet?
