Emergence

By: Ken Lozito

Narrated by: Scott Aiello

As the colony grapples with the realization that New Earth is not as uninhabited as they’d once thought, tensions between the colonial settlements rise to new heights, and the Colonial Defense Force finds itself caught in the middle.

When Connor uncovers evidence of a militant colonial faction secretly exploiting the NEIIS, he has to investigate. Connor learns that some of the colonial settlements have been holding back discoveries of their own. He’d thought the NEIIS were a threat to the colony, but he was wrong. They all were, and the truth is beyond anything Connor could have imagined.

Meanwhile, Colonel Sean Quinn’s latest mission brings him off-world to investigate a previously discovered NEIIS settlement. When all communications from home go silent, he must return to New Earth to investigate. Cut off from everything, Sean must lead the crew of a CDF warship against a mysterious foe. Sean must forge a path into the unknown if he’s to have any hope of unraveling the mystery.

Emergence is the sixth book in the best-selling First Colony military space opera series.

Another Wild Ride

This was a great book. I can only hope this is not the last book.

The story continues...

another good chapter in the story that sounds both compelling and believable. I look forward to the next book.

Adventures continue

I enjoyed the book, the characters and the new tribulations and disasters. Maybe I'm mean but things seemed to resolve a little too easy and quickly. Plus, we had 3 story lines going and they seem flip a lot within a chapter. I'd lose track of which plot line I'm on with the narration.
Since we are left at the end with a opportunity for further books. I'll look forward to the next one.

Entertaining and fun. Great performance.

Good "space opera" made more enjoyable by the reading of Scott Aiello and his seemingly endless repertoire of voices.

A Good continuation of the series

The series really needs to be read from the start. This series seems to have A Good balance of military, suspense, drama, and well developed characters to keep the reader engaged and looking for more.
The voice actor does a good job with male voices, but the presentation would be better if a female voice actor read the female portions, unfortunately they don't come across well with just one male voice actor.
This was a very interesting expansion of the series, that could open the door to many more installments in the series. The story premise in this installment is one rarely explored by other authors, it will be interesting to see where the author takes it in future installments in the series. It was interesting to see where the author took the internal politics of the colony in this installment, it made it clear that the colony has more then the dozen characters that have been carried forward from previous installments of the series. Other characters in the colony have agendas of their own, and some of the dark motives of big politics might be coming into the idealized society of the colony. It will be interesting to see if the author emphasizes the "you can't trust anyone concept" or sticks with the "we can make it if we just stick together" thread of the earlier books.
BOTTOM LINE: I feel this installment was good and worth the purchase, others that have read or listened to the series should enjoy it, but it would be very hard to drop into the series with this installment without reading the earlier books.
