Publisher's summary

An abandoned space station, a hostile, alien planet, and a lost squad eighteen hundred light years from Earth. How far would you go for that one chance to get home?

After the world-shattering events of Hostile Contact, Finn's squad leave Earth and the Solar System behind, travelling 1800 light years in an instant, as the Haven space craft activates the Return Protocol.

The ship's Artificial Intelligence, accepting them as crew, cooperates with Finn, Zuri, Smith and Noah as they as they encounter the remnants of the Haven race on an advanced Space Station and Havenhome, the aliens' home planet.

Pitted against huge odds, the squad need to rapidly gain the knowledge and skills required to use their alien technology as they desperately fight for survival on the hostile, high gravity planet, where everything wants to eat you or kill you, not caring which comes first.

In the midst of battle, revelations arise about the ancient aliens' plans for humanity and, with the horrifying realisation about how the Haven fell from their technologically advanced pinnacle, Finn and his team question their place amongst the stars.

With Finn continuing to combat both inner and outer demons, Zuri, the strong-willed female gunner, and Smith, his deceased but digitally copied Corporal, rise to the challenge as the squad take on the might of the Haven Masters, who crave their old but powerful technology.

And, in a last-ditch attempt to recover the lost pathway home, the squad embark on a harrowing mission where they face a devastating decision that will change their lives forever.

Come for the action, stay for the characters in this 'fast-paced, character-driven novel that seamlessly blends military sci-fi and alien first contact.'

Aliens, they are more like us than you think.

4.5 Overall


This is the second book I've read/listened to by Nick Snape. It's not my usual genre, but I enjoyed book 1 and decided to request this book once it was offered. It picked up where book one left off. A sci-fi action adventure with suspense that had me glad I was traveling so I had few distractions. Another ending that is open for book three.

Josh Innerst is an excellent narrator. He voiced all characters well. Perfection.

Action Packed!

This is the second book in the Weapons of Choice Series, a Sci-Fi survival thriller. The story is entertaining, action packed, filled with danger, mystery, and twists and turns. The characters are well developed, and interesting. The world building is captivating. Josh Innerst did an excellent job bringing this story to life. #PFPAudio
