Kazz is a genuine Neanderthal and Philemon is an apish proto-human, two thugs with priceless information to sell to the highest alien bidder. But first they have to get off this backward planet. They hijack Logan's Guard ship, needing it to crack an ancient alien structure at the bottom of the Arctic Ocean, believing it will provide them the ticket out of here. What they don't know is that the structure holds a terrifying alien prisoner that could doom the human race to eternal servitude - and if they did know, they wouldn't care.

They gathered in a system were a star had exploded, blowing away the atmosphere of a Jupiter-like planet. The supernova had hurled heavy metals against the remaining core. The androids are mining supermetals that can turn ordinary ship weapons and shields into invincible armaments.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 220
Billions died before humanity clawed its way up from the brink of extinction, defeating the aliens that treated us like mere beasts. After years of agonizing toil and hardship, we have finally built a first-rate fleet, forcing our hostile neighbors to accept our freedom. But in the center of the galaxy, a bitterly vengeful woman discovers the secret of the Plutonians. She is going to awaken them so the extraterrestrials can attack us with the deadliest ships in existence. If the Plutonians destroy our fleet, the others will surely swarm in like locusts and kill us.

The Swarm is coming! This time, enemy science vessels study us as Hive Masters gather hundreds of thousands of starships for an avalanche invasion. Instead of facing massed bug fleets in hopeless battle, we have a desperate plan: use a Builder nexus, create a hyper-spatial tube and send suicide-ships thousands of light-years into Swarm territory. There, our ships must find and destroy the nexuses that are the only way back home, all in order to stop the bugs from using the nexuses to reach Human Space.

Mysterious and dark, it sails through a gateway, leaving a path open to the most implacable enemies that mankind and the aliens of the Milky Way Galaxy have ever face. Genetically tailored, symbiotic body armor protects the human commandos that are to be dropped on the metallic surface. A trooper in his armor, with surgically enhanced, neuro-fiber speed, is the deadliest grunt in the universe.

Publisher's Summary
The Galactics quarantined Earth. But the last Guard agent died. Logan found his stealth ship, and now it's his job to enforce Galactic law against alien predators.
Lord Beran the Antaran regards humans as little better than insects to stomp if they get in his way. He's searching for the lost Polarions, last seen on this backward planet thousands of years ago.
There are alien relics hidden under the ice sheets of Greenland and Antarctica. Lord Beran wants those, even if uncovering them will unleash a stellar holocaust.
Unless Logan can stop the Antaran, whose superscience seems like magic to us mere humans, the universe is about to find out why the Galactic Guard first quarantined Earth.
The Antaran is the third book in the Invaders Series, a novel of science fiction adventure by best-selling author Vaughn Heppner.
The series starts with book 1, Invaders.

Fun book. Fun series.
This is another listen that went by too fast. This is an almost non-stop action book. There's also lots of humor that goes along with the action. I love the characters. Can't wait until the next book comes out. #Sci-Fi #Action #Humor #Tagsgiving #Sweepstakes

Unbelieveably bad and illogical
What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
Absolutely nothing can save this. I'm not even sure if the author intended a parody of an alien invasion novel or not.
What about Christian Rummel’s performance did you like?
One of my favorite narrators, I loved his performance in the Lost Fleet series.
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
Self disgust that I insulted my credit card.

Rich story, annoying narrator, odd end
The story is great - lots of action, unexpected events and situations. The narrator - has a great secondary voice, but his default/main voice sounds to me pretty annoying. By now I got used to it (so far I've listen him in 3 books).
The end of the book is odd. Very unexpected...

Just not very good
Is there anything you would change about this book?
I like the author and the narrator, but the characters are just so "dumb". It's like it was written by a new author. The characters do and say the stupidest things....
Has The Antaran turned you off from other books in this genre?
No
What about Christian Rummel’s performance did you like?
He reads great. He can't control the material....
Do you think The Antaran needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?
they should have ended it with them all blowing up..
Any additional comments?
I just can't do another book in this series.

good si-fi story but....
the story is good and enjoyable but I have no idea why the author decided on this book to talk about "don't tread on me" flag and how Mexicans and middle easterners are crowding the ER's . the first two books are awesome but this one, the author decided to share his racist and close minded views. thank you for messing up such a good story.

Awful
I am a Heppner fan and have read all his books. I have to say this is the worst. The story drags along in infinite complexity spattered with feats of science that are not well explained. The villains change and the development of each is either uneccesarily long or ridiculously short. After listening for hours to a story that seemingly goes nowhere, an amazing amount of ground is covered (poorly) in the last ten minutes. It is as if the author got tired of the story and decided to race along and make great leaps so as to close it all out. Not well thought out, nor presented well. Rummel is a great performer, but Heppner really blew it on this one.
