Summary
The war is over. Earth is lost. Running is the only option. And it may already be too late.
Caleb is a former Marine Raider and commander of the Vultures, a search and rescue team that's spent the last two years pulling high-value targets out of alien-ravaged cities and shipping them off-world.
When his new orders call for him to join 40,000 survivors aboard the last starship out, he thinks his days of fighting are over. The Deliverance represents a fresh start and a chance to leave the war behind for good.
Except the war won't be as easy to escape as he thought.
And the colony will need a man like Caleb more than he ever imagined.
Enter the universe of the Forgotten with Deliverance, the first book in the Forgotten Colony series. If you're a fan of Aliens, Battlestar Galactica, Starship Troopers, Ender's Game, or Edge of Tomorrow, you'll love this epic military sci-fi thriller.

thoroughly enjoyed it
Good old soldiers fighting the alien hordes, what more do you need.. the reading is a bit deadpan.. borderline monotonous to be honest, but enough is happening to keep you listening way past your bedtime..

Fast Paced
We start off, rather hurriedly, with a group of marines led by Sgt Caleb Card. He and his Vultures are tasked with pulling people out of dangerous situations and taking them to a spaceship which will take some 40,000 people to a new planet to colonise. However, they have to fight their way through thousands of xenotrife (trife for short) if they are to survive. Matters are not helped when a number of the trife manage to board the spaceship before lift-off.
There is no real character building in this first book as it moves fast from one situation to another. Also, I am a little unsure that the command structure on the ship is believable - too few officers in the chain of command. That said, this is sci-fi, with some fantasy thrown in.

Alien?
A little close to Alien, but entertaining never the less.
I enjoyed it very much, looking forward to the next one.

Pretty good
I thought it was quite good the narrator does a brilliant job, the story really builds toward the end and leaves some big cliffhangers

Enjoyable easy to listen to
Found this easy to listen to and easy to relate to the characters as well. Bit of a war with the aliens story but enjoyable.

A bit drawn out, but gripping story.
I liked the book quite a bit, it takes a bit to get going and feels in places a bit drawn out. That might just be a personal preference.
Very short chapters 5-10 min. Good or bad, up to you.

It didn't start out that great, but at the last chapter, I'm hooked and need to continue with the next book.
Very nice narration as well
