Rich with land, minerals and water, Earth - HG-281- could boast only of a primitive race of defenders known as Humans, bugs who could be easily squashed by the might of a single Chrysallaman's mind. When a Chrysallaman ship is unexpectedly brought down in Roswell, New Mexico, the aliens return to their home planet to regroup, leaving behind a broken ship and a young alien boy.

Publisher's summary
Masterfully crafted by Paul Alan, the ‘Rings of Polaris’ fuses science fiction romance, dystopian, and action – in an adventure giving Arthur C. Clarke a run for his money.
Listeners are invited to strap in with Jason and Rebel Lexis on a mission across the vast wasteland that was once Earth to the surface of Mars. While nobody will deny science fiction’s timeless popularity, both readers and critics are currently crying out for wholly-unique new narratives that don’t succumb to recycling of the “same old” concepts. Thankfully, Paul Alan has stepped up to the plate with gusto, serving up a compelling new series.

They tried to destroy our planets. Our way of life. They tried to send us into extinction. But we, the Coalition, fought them and won. That was a decade ago. They’re known as the Host: a cabal of aliens seeking to dominate our sector of space. And they’re back - with help from a powerful new enemy. We’re outnumbered and unprepared. But there is hope. An ancient race of long-dead but technologically advanced aliens called the Navigators have a ship called the Blackstar that could potentially turn the tide. That is if I, Kai Locke, a humble ship racer, can find it and learn how to harness its power in time.

Story3.5 out of 5 stars 802
They tried to destroy our planets. Our way of life. They tried to send us into extinction. But we, the Coalition, fought them and won. That was a decade ago. They’re known as the Host: a cabal of aliens seeking to dominate our sector of space. And they’re back - with help from a powerful new enemy. We’re outnumbered and unprepared. But there is hope. An ancient race of long-dead but technologically advanced aliens called the Navigators have a ship called the Blackstar that could potentially turn the tide. That is if I, Kai Locke, a humble ship racer, can find it and learn how to harness its power in time.

The Tantalus 13 survey expedition went off the rails as soon as Mary Ketch and the crew of the Diamelen learned that the thing beneath their feet wasn’t a planet. An impossibly vast and ancient artificial structure lies below, hidden from the universe under a façade of cratered stone. SCARAB arrived on Tantalus 13 two years ago. An artificially intelligent, self-constructing factory, it was supposed to aid the crew in their mission, to meet their every need.

Johnny Mains and his marines - the VoidLarks - enter the fray, they discover an enemy deadlier than any could imagine.

Fun to read Sci-Fi
I had a great time listening to this book and am very excited for the next in the series. I love Sci-Fi anyway and this had a good story line that kept me wanting more. I had become so engrossed that I finished it in 2 days and was sad when it ended. The narrator was an excellent choice. I would recommend this book as a fun read and I was given this book for free in exchange for an honest review. Thank you Paul Alan

A great sci-fi collection!
“Rings of Polaris” is a fascinating sci-fi set in the distant future, which has a quality of "Star Wars" to it. Jason is a great choice for a protagonist and I couldn’t get enough of his smart mouth and personality. Sofia/Lexis and her eventual development out of an artificial intelligence organism into an almost human being with her own free will, feelings, and motives, was another character who won my affection right away. The world-building was great and I could easily imagine myself roaming the overheated and almost desolate Earth along with Jason and traveling through space to Mars and coming face to face with its humanoid inhabitants. The setting was vivid and imaginative and the plot, with its intrigues and betrayals and sub-stories (Jason’s family’s story will definitely make for an emotional read!), moved at a perfect pace. The narrator, Stephanie Bentley, did a great job in placing me right in the middle of the action and made my “reading” experience even better. Definitely a five-star book! Recommended to all fans of the genre.
