Great, but light.

The characters are somewhat flat, and I feel the story could be far more fleshed out. Still, the world building, and variety of characters make for a great series of adventures. Entertaining listen. Thanks!

amazing story

love the narrator and the story just keeps getting better and better!!! was disappointed this book was only 5 hours long thought but nevertheless an amazing 5 hours!!!

Excellent Story.

Daniel Pierce has a refreshingly modern way of expressing reality through fantasy similar in style to masters like Robert Heinlein, Jules Verne, and H.G. Wells.

Fun fast read. Will read next in the series.

This book was a good, fun read. Still has OP MC and harrem, but sex isn't too pervasive. If you read the rest you will like this one.

Good but more of a filler book

Daniel Pierce adds more context to the novel by introducing at a surface level the existence of more advanced level enemy but only tangentially makes contact with them. There is forward plot movement but most of the story came across as a filler book. Still, the book was still interesting but less so than previous books in the series.

Alexander Cendese performance was still quite good but there are so many new and remaining characters that he's taken to create his new harem addition with a deeper vocal tone, not quite male but not quite female sounding, either.

"Included"

Jack made sense in the first book of the series. by the time he meets the people underground who need DNA diversity, Jack makes sense. but so far this point in the series just seems tedious and predictable. I do like the women he considers the core of the Oasis. I often find myself laughing at the dialogue between them. but I wouldn't have invested this much time on a series if it weren't included in my membership. the Narrator does a good job at introducing new characters. Then we meet Dane. All I heard was a guy with a poor Island accent. the first character that I couldn't find empathy for. I'm hoping that book five ties everything together and cinches the loose ends.

men only

a fun listen E R Burroughs ( Barstoom ) meets Duke Nukem more if you please

to much

more sex than story to short a book. needs more story ratio its getting redundant.

It gets better ... bad reviews are full of Sh!!!T

I love the audiobook story and worth the money. some reviews may seem fake but I have to say that mine is very real.

decent read

The book itself is okay and would've likely gotten four stars but there are two issues. First, the books are critically short and second and more importantly. Jack Bowman is a TERRIBLE commander and shouldn't be in charge of tactics, ever.

Beware, spoilers ahead. At one point a "massive" enemy army is heading towards the Free Oasis. Jack and his followers know this. They're even tracking them using the drones. They could take this army out, quite easily so. He decides not to, to try and save the life's of these raiders and try to recruit them.

He proceeds to completely underutilize the tech and weapons available to him. Allowing this army to attack the Free Oasis, is completely caught off guards by their infiltrators and pays a staggering amount of lives for his plan. Which sees the drones take them out by putting them to sleep, allowing them to spare most of the enemy.

During this fight, several of the named characters including Aristine survive SOLELY because of plot armor. He's so obsessed with trying to spare these people and attempt to recruit them. People he can't logically trust nor should he at any point in the near future. He bleeds his own forces white, risks complete annihilation and exposes several of his girls to danger they needn't be in while also cockily underestimating how much of a risk this army poses.

The number given at the start for Free Oasis population is about 2000. In this single fight, he manages to get 83 of his own combatants killed. That's almost 5% of his overall population and likely a HUGE part of his fighting forces. Nobody calls him out on it, everyone treats this as a victory.

The kicker? They also let the enemy combatants leave. Even though they still outnumber them quite badly. Then they are happy when some of them return to join them and immediately allow them to do so. Easiest to infiltrate group ever.

Jack is a terrible commander, the needless loss of life of his own troops is staggering and his priorities seem to be completely messed up when it comes to preserving life. It would be incredibly easy for spies or an entire fifth column to infiltrate his group and wreak havoc or take it over entirely and the way he's spending his own troops lives he should both quickly run out of them and have some serious moral issues before long.
