Under the Shadow of the Plateau

Frontier Forever

By: Benjamin Krieger

Narrated by: Dan Blackwell

A woman with no name and her AI sidekick investigate corruption on a universal scale. In the wake of machine enslavement, humanity is on the edge of several new frontiers, but Earth has become a reservation for the way life had once been. The planet’s technological embargo has been corrupted, and with an AI sidekick housed inside her robotic armor, the world’s first Athena-class Marshal is sent to investigate.

Herds of talking animals, a growing army of poachers, and the Tribal Nations are caught in the middle. A smuggler kingpin bent on revenge, migrant labor gangs working themselves to death, and the planet's steward pulling all the strings. With a suspicious new creature stalking the southlands, will the Marshal uncover the conspiracy before it swallows them all?

Almost there

So after listing to this twice I am still having a little bit of an issue grasping everything.

The characters are alive buy I almost feel like they move too fast from person to person and I don't know who or what they are talking about sometime. At times I just feel lost and I am still trying to find the point and motivation of the marshal. I feel like that should be an easy task but I don't know maybe I'm missing something.

There as some good points though. Normally I'm not into an intricate action sequence but the writer seems too keep you engaged without a bunch of he hit she and pow!! blam!! statement that I feel like a lot of writers get wrong.

I want to love this book. I enjoy where it is going and the overall concept minus the gorillas. Sorry. I feel like you are so close to gold just listen to your readers and the next one will hit it out of the park.

gimme more!

great story, absolutely gets you to care about the characters and world that by the time the ending hits, you want more and more and more.
