Publisher's summary

Terra Nova, Book 1

Terra Nova. The promised world is humanity’s new home, safe from the threats of a dangerous galaxy, where veterans of a long war could live in peace. The promise was a lie.

Chief Katherine “Kit” Carson, of the elite Pathfinder Corps, joins the mission as a last-minute replacement, hoping to put a spotty past behind her and build a new life on a brave new world. The expedition arrives on Terra Nova, expecting to join the first wave of colonists, instead they find abandoned cities and are soon faced with a new, terrifying enemy humanity has never encountered before.

For the colony to survive, Carson must unravel the mystery of her new home and learn the fate of the first mission to settle the planet....

Bloodlines, Book 2

Terra Nova broke free of the Ultari tyrants, but the colony’s struggle to survive has just begun.

Governor Ken Hale and his expedition brought technology to the Canis Major galaxy that will change the balance of power forever, and the Ultari will stop at nothing to take it for themselves. The colony needs allies, and with no other options, Hale sends Chief Kit Carson on a first contact mission that will either shield their vulnerable world or invite its swift destruction.

Ugh. Characters lack some originality.

Author really dropped the ball on thinking through the characters. I gave up and didn't finish.
Question: How do you make a strong female character?
Give her a tough name (like a famous cowboy) and an accent (faux Southern/Country dialect).
Kit Carson....ugh. Ok, for a spec ops group focused on handling first encounters with aliens, she SUCKS at her job. What did the course involve? 1960's Cowboy talking to Native American racist stereotype? Palm up "How" and all that.

Cpl. Standish makes a return. Erm...under a new name. But a carbon copy of the same character.
It's possible that Luke Daniels' performance and reuse of character voices greatly agitated me.

If this was re-skinned as Star Wars or some other universe, it could work. But it felt like there character's were poorly thought out/rehashed for a spin off to continue making money.

Can’t wait for the next book

I’d recommend the ember war series and its continued books to anyone.
Luke Daniels brings this book to the next level

Another Hit!

This book takes some great characters from the Ember War series and takes them to an entirely new galaxy. Feels just enough like the Ember War books to keep it tied together with them but just different enough to make you fall in love with this entirely new world Richard and Josh have created. I can not wait for the next book in the series!

Book 4 is now available!

I enjoyed these first two books in the 4 book story, but I've now learned thru someone else' review (thank you) that book 3 ends in a cliffhanger, and the 4th and concluding book isn't available on Audible. Nothing infuriates me more than for Audible to sell us books that are a series, but not have available all the completed books in the series. As a result, I'm not going to even start book 3. It's too bad, though, because I enjoyed these books and the characters involved. They are fun books with an interesting premise. Of course, Luke Daniels is outstanding.

UPDATE: Audible has now released book 4 of the series, so I WILL go ahead with Book 3 and 4, since I enjoyed the first two books so much.

What happened?

The story was marginal, barely holding my interest, and like a dead end road in yhe desert, it ended in the middle of nowhere with no destination apparent. A waste of life that is already too short just reading this book. And the squeaky voiced characters that sound too much like a teenager going through puberty made me want to shoot myself. A truly annoying rendition. Character development was very weak, there were no redeeming qualities to anyone. Really, the only character only halfway done well was the antagonist, and they were evil aliens intent on destroying the universe and the human colony just because. The setting was another galaxy, not just another star, another galaxy. That was pretty hard to identify with and completely improbable. And finally, the war alluded to in our galaxy that humanity somehow won was against a creature called a Doughboy. They were created by a character alluded to but not developed, but somehow become the fighting force of a not very technical alien society with zero resources. The culprit was a twin to the hero who basically ais the cause of thousands of colonist deaths, destroying them because the aliens hold his wife and as a hostage. Not a very credible or heroic rationale, yet he continues to destroy races and never even gets his just due.

Disappointed

This book has dual authors and both are new to me. I was looking for a new sci-fi series and new authors. But I am most disappointed in this book. This is also a combination of the first two books in the series. I like to read about strong women in leadership roles and “Kit” Carson of the Pathfinders did not disappoint. The basic plot line of the story I found boring and a re-hash of many other similar stories. I will skip this series and continue my search for a new exciting sci-fi author.

The book is fourteen and a half hours. Luke Daniels does a good job narrating the book. Daniels is a classic actor and audiobook narrator.

Another great story in the Ember Wars Universe

Another great story in the Ember Wars Universe with familiar characters taking a supporting roll and the focus shifting to a new cast with familiar rolls. Good suspense and great description of the battles in both space and on the ground in the hand to hand nature.

Just dumb

A colony ship leaves Earth for another galaxy because Earth is at war so they send the first colony ship unarmed. When they arrive they have no way to communicate with Earth or return home if bad shit happens. Bad shit happens. The next group of 40k colonists jump to the colony 15 years later and more bad shit happens. There are no marines or other real military aboard the ship except for retired or washed out ex-military crew. Even after nearly getting wiped out by interstellar war the new colony ships again have no weapons. They do have pathfindere, which are the equivalent of combat engineers but it is like they saw a 3 stooges short where the stooges joined the military and imprinted upon them. They piss themselves at every turn, crack jokes, are inept, incompetent and gossip like teenagers. Not even slightly believable.

not as good as the ember war

Character motivations are unbelievable and previously competent people are dumb as bricks. I'm only a few chapters into the second book but I don't see myself continuing this series. Daniels makes it tolerable but using his Standish voice for Nunez highlights how much he isn't Standish.
