The launch of a new science-fiction adventure series - by the New York Times best-selling author of the Safehold series and the Honor Harrington series.
The Galactic Hegemony has been around a long time, and it likes stability - the kind of stability that member species like the aggressive, carnivorous Shongairi tend to disturb. So when the Hegemony Survey Force encountered a world whose so-called "sentients" - "humans", they called themselves - were almost as bad as the Shongairi themselves, it seemed reasonable to use the Shongairi to neutralize them before they could become a second threat to galactic peace. And if the Shongairi took a few knocks in the process, all the better.
Now, Earth is conquered. The Shongairi have arrived in force, and humanity’s cities lie in radioactive ruins. In mere minutes, more than half the human race has died.
Master Sergeant Stephen Buchevsky, who thought he was being rotated home from his latest tour in Afghanistan, finds himself instead prowling the back country of the Balkans, dodging alien patrols and trying to organize scattered survivors without getting killed. And in the Southeastern US, firearms instructor and former Marine Dave Dvorak finds himself at the center of a growing network of resistance - putting his extended family at lethal risk, but what else can you do?
On the face of it, Buchevsky's and Dvorak's chances look bleak, as do prospects for the rest of the surviving human race. But it may well be that Shongairi and the Hegemony alike have underestimated the inhabitants of that strange planet called Earth...in David Weber's Out of the Dark.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes I would recommend it. The great plot development.What other book might you compare Out of the Dark to and why?
It remind me of the Sauron series. Human overcoming aliens and being under estimatedWhich character – as performed by Charles Keating – was your favorite?
The guy that I think kind of killed the ending. Do want to say but if you listen and see how it ends you will understand.If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
No Surrender.Any additional comments?
I did not like the ending. it was a little out there and even if you was going to go that way it needed to be more developedGreat invasion story

I hope this is the beginning of a long running series, because the author did a great job with establishing a rich universe and a strong forward arc!
Fascinating synthesis! Well read & well wrote!

When I had the book recommended to me, I was not expecting what I got. To first address the issues
1.) And probably the hardest one I had to get over, was Charles Keating. He did a fine job, the problem was it was very low energy and deliberate consistently; which lead to moments where I found myself tuning out. Only knocking one star off, as other than that, Keating did very well.
2.) I'm a gun nerd too, but David spends too much time on it though, with muzzle velocities, overpressure, caliber equivalences... it's just a bit too much. Paired with Keating's methodical narration, it can kill the excitement.
Some of the readers may point out that I've omitted something. Something very glaring to some. To be honest, and to get it out of the way, the ending does come from the left field. I rather liked it, however, and found it creative. It does feel a bit out of tune but does make me very excited to read the next book.
Some positives to offset a potential negative tone to the book
1.) The aliens feel alien in a lot of ways.
2.) Very good word choice.
3.) Characters are fun and interesting
4.) Stargate References.
5.) Dave has an excellent knowledge of Geography, and the places he goes varies from North Carolina to Ukraine.
Very intriguing.
