Publisher's summary

Mike reunites with his wife and his friend, Paul, aboard the Guardian only to find that things have gone from bleak to hellish on Earth. Rampaging hordes of Genogerians plague the planet, as does an invasion from Progerians hell-bent on knuckling under the will of man through their relentless assault. Yet this may not be the worst of it, as an insidious "ally" has lent their support. At what cost can a planet on the brink come back from such desperate odds?

Can Mike and those around him keep things from getting worse while also not tearing each other apart?

Awesome as usual!!

Like the consummate author he is, Mr. Tufo has done it again.
This series is a perfect example of the work of Mark Tufo. I think that the mark of a true master of story telling is being able to start a genre( which this series truly does) and craft it into a work of art. If anybody reads this review, and u are undecided about spending the money, or credits to get it, well, u really haven't expanded your mind, till u read or listen to Tufo

This take on alien invasion is one of the best

Mike, Tracy and BT survived the nuke. Now they are faced with a new and totally different threat. Another alien species, The Strivers, have landed on Earth. They are horrible looking creatures and they are telepathic. It seems that the Strivers hate the Progerians and want to totally destroy them. Then they want earth for themselves. They communicate with humans on a different wave length then among themselves.

What these creatures do not know is that somehow Mike can hear them when they communicate with each other. He keeps this ability a secret. This new “friends” will help find the Guardian and repair the damaged ship. Are these creatures to be trusted? Would you trust something that made your skin crawl and your stomach churn? You wouldn’t, good call.

Once the ship is repaired they get ready to “buckle”. Mike, Tracey and BT wait in a shuttle. They are ready to depart the Guardian as soon as it is back in home space. The rest you will have to read for yourselves. I am not going to spoil this adventure for you.

I read a lot and listen to even more. This take on alien invasion is one of the best I have read in a long, long time. It has everything anyone could want and more. Two different species of aliens. One with multiple levels. Then we have a human Hero who somehow manages to come out ahead when he should be dead. Of course, he has enemies. His ex-girlfriend for one. He also has a problem with “foot in mouth” syndrome. Just can’t keep his mouth and brain on the same wave length. Makes for a chuckle in the middle of a deadly situation. How does Mark come up with this stuff? It’s great.

I really like the way Sean tells this story. He gets into the characters and brings them to life doing a splendid job.

Production is excellent, as usual. Never a problem with the sound. Voice is clear without any static or background noise. Great job.

Excellent addition!

This was an excellent addition to the Indian Hill series. Awesome character development and continuation of the story. And Mr. Runnette does an excellent job with narration, as always.

one of the best authors i've read or listened to

Get story and even better author. All of Mark Tufo's books are amazing. From zombies and vampires, to aliens and crazed clowns, even Lycan and werewolf, the stories grip you and convey so much true emotions, that there are times it makes you consider your own altruism.

Love book Read why I put one star

Would you try another book from Mark Tufo and/or Sean Runnette?

I have waited and waited, and when I say waited I mean years for him to finish this series. Seriously man just one more book and it could be done. I think it is a shame to keep using the same character over and over just sliding him into a parallel universe, how about finishing the first one?
LAZY

What could Mark Tufo have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

Finish the damn series

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Sean Runnette?

No one

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

Anger that it is not finished yet and he has monopolized on one character instead of bringing us someone new and fresh.

Any additional comments?

Dude at least finish your first series

Absolutely brilliant

I love this entire series of books, it it a brilliant story. Action, adventure, alien battles mixed with humor, a lot of sarcasm and impossible odds makes one hell of a great book.
I am a huge fan of Mark Tufo and have read/listened to all of his books and loved them all. The multiple journeys of Mike and many other characters throughout all the different series are always exciting. You get to know and love these people, and in my opinion that's when you know the author is Great. This is a Great author! If you are a fan of this genre, then you have to listen to the Indian hill series and the other of Mark Tufo books. The narrator is as always amazing. Sean Runnette really brings these books to life.
Absolutely brilliant, nothing more than that can be said!
