Publisher's summary

They’ve watched us for centuries through the Rift.

They’ve prepared.

Invasion is inevitable.

The Earth Fleet has known of the Watchers for years, unwilling to share the knowledge with humanity. Now it might be too late.

Hidden away from the Fleet, one man is creating a new colony ship destined for the other side of the Rift, but he’s missing a few pieces.

Three other people have varied paths to get there. Ace goes from the streets of Earth to the Fleet training facility on the moon. Flint, an ex-Fleet pilot, must decide if a job is worth his life, and Wren, imprisoned for a secret project years ago, is given hope as an unlikely ally whispers words of escape in her ear.

Their journeys lead to Councilman Jarden Fairbanks, who knows of the impending invasion, and has prepared. All they can do is wait for the Rift to open once again, and see what’s on the other side.

Rift joins an ensemble cast facing immeasurable obstacles. If you enjoy space battles, prison breaks, androids, and aliens, buried under a shroud of mystery, this book is for you. Try it today!

Good story and bad narration..

this was in interesting story. A lot of readers didn't like it because it was separated sections with each one about someone different. There wasn't really any battles but the stories about each person was worth reading, especially; Wren, Charles, Flint and Ace. I mean everyone was interesting but some more than others. The Rift was a small opening in space that opened every 30 years and this time the Eureka went through it and the Watchers came to out space, by the thousands.

No romance and no swearing to speak of.

As for the narrators: Mostly they were all terrible. The women were the worst though. Every person, man and woman alike, sounded like a woman. And there's nothing worse than a man with a feminine voice. As for the male narrators, every one who spoke sounded just like a man. BUT, at least I can stand a woman with a deep voice more than I can stand a girly voice on a man. This should never had more than ONE narrator. IMO

Loved it!

Great story. Voice acting was really good. Can’t wait to get the other books in the series.

The story didn't end.

I really enjoyed this book. Good writing, decent narrative. Butapparently the author plans to write a book 2 A number of things were left hanging. I was left feeling resentful

Reader seems unrehearsed

Only in Chapter 1 and having a hard time sticking with it. Writing is choppy and performance is 1 dimensional, as if this is his first time reading the story.

Wonderful

I really enjoyed the story great characters to follow and full of action
Thank you I read the ebook from Kindle App and the audio from audible .com the narrator did a great job

very interesting plot and well put together.

great party idea and I like the way they brought the characters together. however, I would have liked to have a decent sized book in this format and not one so short. keep up the good work and I look forward to more

Ok.

Not the best, far from the worst. Certainly worth a credit if you looking for a new SciFi book. It is slow and I almost returned it. But around 2 hrs in, it gets much better.

A very good story

Looking forward to reading the next book. The first book ended with a cliffhanger. I’ll have to wait until I have another audiobook code or credit.

interesting start

I have enjoyed this book, we have to wonder have as councilman fairbanks and his crew jumped from the frying pan into the fire. His mixed matched crew have entered the rift, but what will they find? And how well will earth force deal with the invasion. looking forward to book 2

great story idea .

narrated well. story line keeps you moving. getting characters together us a good fit. the end makes you want the next!
