Publisher's summary

Twenty-five years ago, the Overseers conquered Earth and enslaved humanity. The time to fight back has come....

Alec works in the Detroit Overseer-factories, building a mysterious alien device. When three strangers appear, he's provided an opportunity to escape after years of servitude.

Cole, a Freeborn loner, encounters Lina after her village is destroyed by the alien Occupation. Together, they make the arduous journey to a fabled safe-zone, trying to stay one step ahead of the enemy drones on their trail.

Dex is a Hunter, working for the Occupation to track down escaped factory slaves, or Roamers, at all costs. But his latest hunt uncovers a massive secret and threatens his loyalty to the Overseers.

All their fates are bound. For the first time in decades, a secret enclave of alien resistance fighters known as the Reclaimers prepare to make their move.

Fantastic

A fantastic mental vacation from beginning to end. I thoroughly enjoyed the plot and all the characters throughout. I immediately moved on to the 2nd book in the series.

I highly recommend this.

Optional means that I don't have to have a heading

I liked this book and am thinking of buying the other 2 books in this series. I'm not a big fan of stories that have several plots going on. It was pretty good.

Can’t turn off!

A telling that I couldn’t stop listening to. In the olden days called “a real page turner”. I recommend this 100%.

Enjoyable book

I enjoyed listening to this audio book as I found the story to be compelling and Unique me different than I had expected. I like and character development and interaction between the bilious players of this book. There is just enough mystery to keep you going and at the end it pays off. I look forward to the next book.

Is this Earth's fait?

As an alien life came 25 years ago to claim Earth. One third of the world said no to the aliens. The other 2/3 were either killed or became workers and hunters for the alien race. The human Resistance is getting strong though.

Good Post-Apoc Sci-Fi

Enjoyable. No glaring plot holes or obtuse idiocy, just interesting story telling. I especially enjoyed the budding self aware AI. Will definitely continue the series. And, as always, listening to Ray Porter read is an absolute joy!

Awesome book and awesome performance.

Awesome writing, fantastic, intriguing storyline. Hard to stop listening. The only thing that could trump this writing style character development is the performance by Ray Porter. In my opinion, he is the top voice performer for audiobooks of all time only person has equal maybe R.C. Bray. Can’t wait to listen to book 2. Thank you for a wonderful book.

love, love, love

I’m one of those “Has Ray Porter released a new book today” kind of people. I will devour every single Porter book, good or bad. This one happens to be in the good category. I’d even say pretty great. I’d actually read both of these authors before (well, listened to) and it was fun to see them together.

Highly recommended.
