The Damned Trilogy

A Call to Arms, The False Mirror, and The Spoils of War

De: Alan Dean Foster

Narrado por: Mikael Naramore

Humans are caught up in an alien war in this epic from the #1 New York Times–bestselling author of Star Wars: The Force Awakens and Star Trek Into Darkness.

For millennia, the Weave, an alliance of species, have fought to resist the telepathic Amplitur, who strive to unite all self-aware life-forms in their great "Purpose." The Weave is slowly losing ground, but for both sides, warfare focuses more on outthinking and outmaneuvering your foe than destruction. In fact, most regard violence as hideously barbaric, and even the thought of harming another sentient being is beyond imagining.

Then they come to Earth . . .

A Call to Arms
When one of its scout ships lands on Earth, the Weave quickly realizes that humanity's almost innate ability to wreak havoc and death may hold the key to turning the tide in their fight. Unfortunately for all, the Amplitur have the same idea—and mankind is caught in the middle.

The False Mirror
When the Amplitur unleash an elite cadre of fighters, it soon becomes clear that they have subjected their human prisoners to horrific genetic manipulation. But if the Weave attempts to undo the effects, they may change the former warriors into something far, far worse.

The Spoils of War
With mankind's help, the Weave is finally on the verge of victory against the Amplitur. Until an alien scholar uncovers a terrifying truth: Earthlings might not even be capable of being civilized—and a shadowy group of powerful humans is already poised to unleash war across the entire galaxy.

Very good Trilogy

I read these books when I was younger and they made me start reading more books. Now I am addicted to reading This story was amazing and made me ask so many question. Such as how would people actually act.
As for the narrator he did a great job and makes you want to keep listening. The story was amazing and I enjoyed how it transferred from one book to another. I have recommend this book many times.

A good series I was happy to find on audio book.

I really hate when the aliens are bigger and meaner than us. I truly think many SyFi authors suffer from small winki syndrome. Finally in this book, mankind is the meanest and overall strongest versatile creatures in the universe. The theory that as a space faring society would be peaceful and would not make war is included in these books but who do you call when you need to go to war.

Starts slow and then picks up speed.

Starts slow. I rarely do not finish once I start. I’m glad I soldiered through. There are unexpected plot twists that were not telegraphed but remained true to the narrative. My kudos to the author’s intellectual honesty😊

Refreshing approach to the first contact genre.

enjoyable story

enjoyable story and narration. I was familiar with the narrator but had not known the writer ahead of time. will look for more stories to listen to by both!

Simply Enjoyable

Simply enjoyable. A neat insight on galactic views on the Human Race. These three books, I highly recommend.
