Beginning a New Series by a New York Times Best-Selling Author.Will the People of Earth Bow Down toAlien Overlords—or Will They Live Free or Die?
First Contact Was Friendly
When aliens trundled a gate to other worlds into the solar system, the world reacted with awe, hope and fear. But the first aliens to come through, the Glatun, were peaceful traders and the world breathed a sigh of relief.
Who Controls the Orbitals, Controls the World
When the Horvath came through, they announced their ownership by dropping rocks on three cities and gutting them. Since then, they've held Terra as their own personal fiefdom. With their control of the orbitals, there's no way to win and earth's governments have accepted the status quo.
Live Free or Die
To free the world from the grip of the Horvath is going to take an unlikely hero. A hero unwilling to back down to alien or human governments, unwilling to live in slavery and with enough hubris, if not stature, to think he can win. Fortunately, there's Tyler Vernon. And he has bigger plans than just getting rid of the Horvath.
Troy Rising is a book in three parts—Live Free or Die being the first part—detailing the freeing of earth from alien conquerors, the first steps into space using off-world technologies and the creation of Troy, a thousand trillion ton battlestation designed to secure the solar system.

Alles etwas fantastisch, aber nichts desto trotz spannend. Wieder eines dieser Bücher wo man im Auto immer noch "kurz das eine noch" hören möchte, bevor mal notgedrungen aussteigen muss.
Dicke Empfehlung! Wann kommt Teil 3?
Was wäre wenn...

Ringo is very very ham fisted with is political writings in this series. Conservatives are the only people behaving reasonable, conservatives are the only humanitarian, liberals would rather watch people die than give up a bit of their personal freedom, conservatives are the only people who would not bitch about taking a vaxination for a deadly disease (lol, that one aged well). Oh and the aliens who are falling out of their golden age are doing so because of socialism and a small military.
Then there's other aspects that are written with the precision of a sledge hammer. Every woman is described by the size of her breasts. Everybodies first thing they think about the MC is "wow he is short" which feels a bit like what a very shallow short person might think everybody else thinks about them. Ringo might be proud about the "oh no John ringo" stuff because he thinks he is triggering the libs or whatever, meanwhile it's just that he once again chooses to write what he sucks at instead of what he is good at.
Because, and this is the important bit, the sci-fi is amazing. Not sure if it's hard sci-fi or not, but at the very least it's not hamd waving to explain magic stuff. Despite all the shortcomings of the story elements, everything to do with the different arrays and space stations and stuff is awesome. It is good enough that like once a year I will listen to the story again. I'm usually surprised by how bad everything else is, but the Troy and stuff like that is worth it IMO.
Amazing SciFi, bad story

Und normalerweise kann ein Sprecher bei sowas helfen, aber Mark Boyett ist kein Erzähler, und ihn einen Sprecher zu nennen ist ein wohlwollendes Zugeständnis. Eine akkuratere Bezeichnung wäre "Vorleser", denn zu mehr hatte ich den Eindruck reichte es bei Boyett nicht. Ich weiß nicht, was er noch spricht, von daher kann es sein, dass dies eher der Tonregie geschuldet als dem Sprecher, aber ich werde definitiv nicht nochmal ein Hörbuch von Boyett hören ohne vorher ein Ohrenmerk auf die Hörprobe zu legen.
Alter Schwede, was für ein Karambolage…
Was zum Henker…?
