Publisher's summary

Listen to the exciting conclusion....

A rogue star dragged us away from the sun and unleashed a new ice age; we are cold, hungry, and desperate. Earth is divided: Humanity resides in the frozen wastes, while the invading alien machines, dubbed Screechers, occupy the habitable regions - and they have built a wall to keep us out. This is our new world.

Logan Willis and his family are hiding safely in Haven, an underwater colony designed by billionaire Akron Massey to be his private shelter. But Logan's son, Alex, didn't make it. Logan is desperate to get out and find him, but Haven is in the middle of Screecher territory, and leaving could expose the colony to discovery.

Meanwhile, OneZero, a friendly Screecher locked in Haven's brig, also wants to get out, and so does Akron Massey, who plans to build another rocket from the Mars mission prototype and use it to join his family on the red planet.

Together these three must find a way to leave Haven and accomplish their goals, but the world they left is not the one they are returning to: Secrets and hidden agendas abound as divergent groups vie for power on both sides of the border wall. With humanity’s fate hanging in the balance, Logan is determined to find out the truth before it’s too late.

Protagonist is too stupid for words

The protagonist is so incomprehensibly stupid, that it's hard to imagine him breathing without the help of machines.

Logan one messed up guy/father

Logan his heart was in the right place but did everything totally wrong he looses his job, finds his wife doing it with the neighbor and the the earth is invaded and a rogue star makes matter worse. You have to give him a nod for trying but always making the wrong call and getting people or someone killed. To be up front he parnoid well I say he has PTSD with all the crap who would not. Beside his family and brother-in-law all he has is alien named 1-0 and near the end a cat. in his world you see how the invaders bring creatures from other planets to help hunt human down and kill. Then you see The Passive Aliens like 1-0 who trying to help but they can not explain everything that they are doing to Logan. They have underground cities were they are working with some human to overthrow the government who is killing what they say are outsiders.
And finally Logan gives the ultimate sacrifice to try to undo all the wrong he done he has 1-0 transfer his conscience mind into a robot so he can help plant a virus in the hive of the main enemy the who invader earth and set up the new government and made all the rules on how people are to treated or killed. in the end he can not go back to his body due to it being destroyed so he has to stay in the robot form and in doing this he help lead to a new world were Humans and Aliens build new world and a government for the US,
To be honest these two audibles are great but you must be ready for a ride of your life through most of the audibles you seeing life through Logans eyes.

New world review

This was a wonderful story, full of twists and turns. It kept me enthralled most of the time while listening.

Overall or was a good book

except for the break between book one and two the story was good and Congress too a logical conclusion.

Fascinating to Listen to

Aware the second book had been released, it had me wondering if Flynn was going to narrate that book as well. When I looked up the book series at the beginning of this month, I noticed the audiobook for the second book was already almost out. My heart jumped and a huge smile spread across my face.

After pre-ordering it (almost immediately) I waited patiently for the rest of the book to come out. As soon as it struck midnight on December 10, turning to December 11, I downloaded it and began listening to it. It's only been two days and I'm already on Chapter 27! I cannot stop listening to it.

I admire both Flynn and his father's storytelling skills and I love the way he expresses the character's personalities, especially when he gives them their own voice just by changing his pitch. In book 2, he does an excellent job describing the settings, how certain actions impact the characters, and overall tells a good story. I look forward to more projects!

New Worlds....book 1 and 2....

These two books, a mini series so to speak, kept me guessing until the end. Love a book that keps me on my toes, and this book series sure did that.
Loved it !! :-)

Ok for an alien invasion

There is a plot twist with the alien invasion being partly human beings from our last but not all are. Some are friendly kid are they? You have to read and find out. Pleasant reading..

one of the best sci-fi books I have ever read!!

After reading book 1 in this series, I did not want to take the time to review it because I needed to start book 2! I normally do not care for books involving aliens , spacecrafts and mind-boggling technology. I am so so glad I gave this a try!! It's an amazing read! The narrator also gave a wonderful performance. I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys Syfy of any kind.

if you like Earth bound sci-fi

I accidentally ordered this thinking it was more of an apocalypse Doomsday. Syfy is not my preferred genre of reading / listening, but was interesting and a relatively good listen.

The only thing I found annoying was the continued reference of an assault rifle when there is no such thing as an assault rifle. They should have referred to them as battle rifles which is more accurate.

okay

l got to the end but just barely. And that is all I have to say
