They hunt us. They bomb our worlds for target practice. A star cluster in the constellation of Orion rotates once every 1,000 years. Those who rule there have an ancient tradition: When each cycle ends, they train their fleets by spilling the blood of lesser beings. The enemy fleets are coming again. In response, the Rebel Worlds gather their starships to face the terrifying threat, and this time humanity is asked to stand with them. The last time they considered Earth, Vikings in longboats were raiding English coastlines. Today, we're less primitive. Today, we're a target.

Rather than being exterminated under a barrage of hell-burners, Earth joined their vast Empire. Swearing allegiance to our distant alien overlords wasn't the only requirement for survival. We also had to have something of value to trade, something that neighboring planets would pay their hard-earned credits to buy. As most of the local worlds were too civilized to have a proper army, the only valuable service Earth could provide came in the form of soldiers....

Vaughn Heppner did it! Awesome book!
I've listen to the first 3 books of the series. I'll summarize them in one review:
All 3 books have a great narrator!
Book 1 starts with a nice story, but the story develops quite slowly. The overall story is not bad, but it lacks lots of information. As if it goes too slow.. Other than that - the author does a short enough descriptions of people, ships, etc, so you won't be bothered with useless information.
Book 2 is kicking asses! Story goes much faster, lots of more information, very interesting!
Book 3 story is very rich - even more interesting than book 2.
In short - very nice series. Recommended!

Still not sure I like this book.
Would you consider the audio edition of The A.I. Gene to be better than the print version?
Yes, I probably wouldn't have gotten through the series so far if I just was reading it.
Would you recommend The A.I. Gene to your friends? Why or why not?
I probably would for teen readers. It's entertaining but honestly has some issues that I just can't get past as an adult.
Which scene was your favorite?
Probably when Hawkins took control of the Jupiter system
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Not particularly.
Any additional comments?
I don't want to be offensive but there are just some things in this series I can't get over. I understand it's Science Fiction but I get irritated by the breaks in physics (especially orbital mechanics) and I get annoyed that they attribute their successes to god.
I'm also irked by the voiceover of the AI since it's stereotypical of 80s AI in Sci-Fi. Meanwhile, I have my Amazon Echo which sounds extremely human by comparison.

Not my favorite from this author
So far I have enjoyed the "Lost Ship" series better than this series. This series seems darker and without the light comic touches I found in the "Lost Ship" books. I find myself wondering why the main character keeps going, on an emotional basis. I will read the next book, hoping for improvement. But I need a break first.

A strong sequel with issues
It felt a bit like making up for time not spent developing the story and characters in the first book so in comparison it's much slower. The huge spans of time and slightly unbelievable scale on which everything is happening is also much more apparent in this book than the last but I'm glad I spent I credit and the time to listen to it.

Shallow and rushed
The fist book in the series held great promise and the struggle against the AI was tangible. In this second book, everything is over in a flash. After a long build up the final AI battle is feeble and ultimately unfulfilling, lazy even.
Let's hope the third book isn't as rushed.
