Publisher's summary

A missing ally. A secret world. A second colony.

With the Surial gone, Colton Beck has a chance to rebuild the Rusa race. Colton embarks on a dangerous journey to find answers, bringing his closest allies along for the ride. Each objective is a step toward to repopulating Nulit, but the ultimate price might be higher than they’re willing to offer.

Now that the truth about the Angor has been realized, the Unity Accord will never be the same. Colton is determined to ensure his peoples’ position over the fabled Ocean, even if it tears the Unity apart.

When someone from Desmond’s past returns to haunt him, history threatens to repeat itself.

Third Party is the latest installment of the hit series The River Saga from the bestselling author of The Event, and Lost Contact.

No spoilers

Reviewing all 4 books in series—very good story overall. Fun & fast-paced except for 1st book which was excruciatingly slow, giving few clues to the shape of the story. It set up the series, but could have gotten to ‘the good stuff’ more quickly. Did a good job of character development often using flashbacks so got a m feel of who who each character was without the need to hear every detail of their life. The narrator was pretty good, but with some weird pauses as if he had not read ahead, so some of the story was oddly paced. Worth the credits and entertaining.

Excellent Performance by Christopher Ryan Grant

An excellent series. Very creative, never boring. It is amazing how the story has progressed since the initial ball game - oh you don't know about the ball game. Buckle up and start reading First Life, Book One. Great Audible performance by Christopher Ryan Grant!

Great struggles build great people

Found myself floating along in all the struggles written by Hystad, and like his other books he moved you each trial faced by his characters.

Fun, imaginative fat paced series

I'm really enjoying this series. Hystad had so much imagination with so many moving parts and characters. It's a fun story that 's worth listening too especially because the narration is excellent! Christopher Grant does an awesome job at bringing the characters to life.

Engaging storyline

A great experience with multiple storylines unfolding. Would love to see what is next for the ministry and maybe a prequel that lead to it's downfall.
