The Complete Four Book Series

De: G.J. Ogden

Narrado por: Doug Tisdale Jr.

Get all four books in the Contingency War Series for one low price. Hours of epic space opera action and adventure with unique heroes and twists that you won’t see coming!

The series includes: The Contingency, The Way Station Gambit, Rise of Nimrod Fleet, and Earth’s Last War.

From book one:

No-one comes in peace. Every being in the galaxy wants something and is willing to take it by force. The Hedalt were no different. They came from the distant reaches of the galaxy to wage war. Their fleet wanted to take Earth for its prize, but we were ready. We were stronger.

For years, we fought them, ship-to-ship, until we scattered their forces and drove them back. Pursuing the Hedalt fleet to their home world, we delivered the decisive blow. We nuked their planet and wiped them out for good.

Or so we thought.

For decades, Earth Fleet sent out Deep Space Recon missions to scour the galaxy and clean up the remnants of the Hedalt Empire. Eventually, we found only ghosts - empty outposts and long-dead colonies. But, close to the edge of known space, I - Captain Taylor Ray - and my crew are about to make a discovery that will change everything.

The war isn’t over. The war has yet to begin.

Lame voice for the captain

The book seems interesting. However it's so hard to get past the fact that the Captain sounds exactly like Zapp Brannigan from Futurama. It was a very bad choice for The voice in my opinion and makes the book very difficult to get through.

good series, but...

It's a good series, but it goes over and over basic points not just in the blending from one book to the next but throughout each book. Expands many points too much. Any who read this will love the characters and development. I recommend it

I really liked this kinda sappy space story

wasn't too sure about the narrator as some of the choices are questionable but definitely a cute story. keept me intrigued and entertained all the way through and by the end was definitely vested in the outcome. well worth the price.

a good story of life, that its not always ….

what you think, or feel; and that different can be the best one can be....

Entertaining but Simple

I don't regret the listen, but....

I agree with another reviewer's comments about the unfortunate choice of voice for Captain Taylor Ray. The narrator had excellent skill at voices but chose a lyrical sappy silly voice for the main character that just made it hard to take the book seriously.

Constantly being reminded of "simulant enhanced [fill in the blank capability] was annoying.

And there were flaws. (spoiler alert below)



Casey and Blake came from the same ship but somehow didn't know each other?
Conveniently they never run into another Taylor?
Somehow humanoid aliens are stronger than simulants even though simulants are constantly crushing seats when they forget their own strength.

A space opera with good continuity

A good use of not repeating all facts between books. Some authors feel you have to repeat all the facts and events between books, this was just the right amount. Even though the hero had a great advantage of special power, he was also vulnerable.

Worst narrative I've heard

It was a struggle to even get through the first few chapters. The narrator has a tendency to make every character sound like a cartoon scientist on the Simpsons. Absolutely atrocious. The story is interesting enough that I can do a chapter at a time before having to shut it off because of the poor voice performance.
If you need a GOOD narration, skip this one. And likely skip any other that the performer has been hired for. You'll thank me.

Entertaining for 12-16 year olds

The setting is interesting, the characters are likable but the plot is very thin and quite naive. Sorry, but after listening Expeditionary Force this is a complete letdown.

Nice Space Drama

Taylor got on my nerves from dumb moves but Overall good series. Would read other series by the author.

Just fantastic world building

The story is solid, the twist at the beginning had my attention and held it all the way, the performance was wonderful. I would recommend this highly
This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.
