Publisher's summary

As Dash and his team begin expanding the Forge, they must focus on Dark Metal as the one thing that can give them an advantage in the coming war.

Using drones and a map from an ancient library, Dash and Leira must seek out the source of a transmission coming from far away. That source, however, is something far more valuable than they could have hoped: a fleet of ancient Unseen ships, waiting to be salvaged.

With the Golden forces closing in, Dash will need to enlist more help as he prepares to engage the enemy. He must choose his next battleground, all while the Forge works to arm his team with new weapons that could turn the tide once and for all.

great characters

like real people drug into a sh..t sammich trying to make good decisions with poor data and less supplies. caught in a galactic war when they just want to take a nap.

Great Story, Horrible Cost

My main complaint is the cost. Most books are 3x to 4x the length of each book in this series. I would think that a series of collections, like the Renegade Star series would be more appropriate for the series as well.

an enjoyable story

the story is really enjoyable. the only thing I'd really like to see is maybe combining 2 books into one, with as short as they are it makes it a tad expensive.

Far too short and $ not worth it

Good story, not great cause its predictable. I would still buy/listen but 6 hrs for what one gets a 15 great book…you and Eric Ugland have same greed issue

I Want To Be A Member Of This Team!!

Sometimes when you read/listen to a series you hit some pitfalls along the way. Sometimes it's a rehashing of the same plot like from a previous book, sometimes it just drags, sometimes it doesn't seem real enough. So far I have been overjoyed with this series! Each book offers something new - plot, characters, enemies, depth, character development/maturity. I am very pleased with this entire series so far - with one exception. Early in the series there was a massive need for power cores to run the Archetype and then the Forge - but somewhere along the line the urgency has been misplaced. So, the good guys are actually battling at much less than full capacity with no plans - YET - to go get the power cores. I am hoping that I did not miss something, and that this need will soon be filled. Other than that slight gap in urgency, I am finding this series very entertaining, fulfilling, and it just won't let go!! Again, if you are a sci fi fan, this series would be a great addition to your collection!!!

good stories so far I'm enjoying this series

good stories so far I'm enjoying this series, although I would have done somethings different.

excellent storyline continues

Loved it! The characters are becoming more complex and Dash is becoming a true leader.

yep

Very much enjoying this series, i know i have much more to go, and I am excited to do so.

Under 7 hours

Great series, but anything below 8 hours of playtime is really just not worth the credit. I did not buy book 3 because of this, but book 4 was a hard choice so I dove in anyway. If other books in this series falls short of 7.5-8 hours, I will just have to unfortunately skip those books. Unless of course, they offer them in a 2 book combination.

So good

This series continues to keep me on the edge of my seat! Looking forward to book 4!
