War of the Spheres

De: James Millington, B. V. Larson

Narrado por: Mark Boyett

When humanity reaches for the stars, our probes are destroyed. They crash into an incredibly advanced piece of technology: a massive force-field. Unknown beings have placed a barrier around our star and planets, enclosing us within. We’re locked inside a Great Sphere.

Was this invisible obstacle built to imprison us - or to protect us? No one knows the truth, but it soon becomes clear the barrier has leaks. Aliens infiltrate and try to sabotage our efforts to escape our cage.

A warship crewed by military people and scientists beta-test an engine designed to pass through the barrier. Chief Gray, a security officer from Control, is assigned to help. His mission is critical: Earth must escape her bonds at all costs, even if it means war with our hostile neighbors.

War of the Spheres is a new novel by James Millington and B. V. Larson, a best-selling SF author with over three million copies sold.

The distance from his current life time to the missing time of previous missions

A better fight to stay in the current time line and connections to his current relationships

Good Read

This book was a lot different than most of the SFi that I read. I hope there is a follow up book, you could do a lot with the character Gray.

Going to keep listening

Great, now I need to spend more credits to listen to the rest. great book, worth listening to.

A recent favorite, hope there will be another.

I enjoyed the story & the characters. I Hope that the main character’s story will continue. The way it was written it seems like a good setup for a continuation. Highly recommend this one

need a backstory

Good story, but I hope the next book delves in to Gray's backstory. Maybe tell it in some Godfather 2 type flashbacks. Otherwise a typical entertaining BV Larson story.

meh...

story seriously struggles to entertain. gray is a dick, and so is everyone else in this story. main struggle doesn't really seem to be aliens but dumb people in power. the premise is suppose to be, make sure an engine works... aliens are attacking to stop, but everyone is a dick to try and get it to work. BV Larson, please go work more on undying marine series and not this.
99% of the struggle in this book could be solved by giving the secret commando Chief Grey a higher rank.

I really enjoyed it. I want more!

I know this isn’t the typical book that we’ve come to expect from BV Larson. It was a pretty good story though, maybe it’s just because I’m a captive audience. My career as a truck driver means I am always looking for more content. The main character in this book was a bit more “matter of fact” protocol driven than we were used to. There were a few gaps and in my opinion failed linkages in the story. I just feel like if the series were to continue farther we would fill a lot of those gaps. I don’t think it exactly compares to a lot of the other work out there that we’ve become used to with Larson, But we also have another author James Millington and his style might be different. But I still think it’s worth listening to. I feel really bad that a lot of the reviews have been negative

Not a Larson book?

It was like a different person wrote it. The characters and plot were very shallow. Not much was there to enjoy compared to his other series.

Fun, light escapism.

Sometimes I don't want a complicated plot or deep, introspective, dialog. I just want a fun story with a kick-ass hero doing what needs done.
I thoroughly enjoyed this story. Mark Boyett is one of my favorite narrators and he does a great job of bringing every character in this story to life. Yes, the characters are all over-the-top, and somewhat one dimensional, but that is what I want from this type of story. I want the bad guys to be evil, the hero to be mysterious, tough, and strong, and the science nerds to be able to create and implement ridiculously advanced gadgets and solutions. Kinda like James Bond in space.
I'm really looking forward to more stories featuring Chief Gray.

Great Sci-fi. Wish it had a part two!

Narration and story was great. The book stands alone just fine, but I feel like it should have a sequel or be part of a trilogy. The war felt more like a cold war than a space battle. At the end I felt like the war of the spheres was just beginning.
