About this listen

Lieutenant Callum Harper hadn't intended on punching his commanding officer quite so hard. But maybe it wasn't such a bad turn of events. Court-martialed and dumped on a reject raft bound for Earth, Cal feels optimistic about a life where getting blown up, shot, or even eaten is altogether less of a concern. And, more importantly, a life where the only person he's responsible for is himself.

Unfortunately fate doesn't favour the mundane. Crash-landing on a lethal planet, and with technology failing all around him, Cal must take his fellow passengers under his wing in order to survive and unravel the reasons behind their situation. But the cause is far worse than any of them could have imagined, for theirs is a small part of a much larger crisis. Colonized space is under attack. Humanity is on the verge of chaos. And those who enjoy such anarchy are already beginning to thrive. Yet Cal and his new companions will discover that mankind isn't the true threat, not by a long shot.

When Lt Callum Harper punches his CO in the face, he is loaded onto a reject ship to return to Earth. However, events overtake Cal when his cryo chamber opens prematurely and the ship crash lands on an unfriendly planet. He is then obligated to take the 3 other young "rejects" under his wing, plus one android.

Things then go from bad to worse when Cal learns that Earth has been destroyed and humanity is in chaos; but there are always those that will thrive in such an environment. Unfortunately for them all, they will find out that mankind could well be wiped out. With only Cal and his small group of warriors standing between mankind and destruction, this promises to be a very rocky journey.

Following on from Harper's ten, this had me enthralled from the get-go.
Narration is brilliant to start with, as was the previous 0.5. Alex has a voice that is so easy to listen to.
Charaterisation, well, he's got that spot on. Every character has their own nuances, combined with a "voice" that you instantly recognise as the story progresses.
Now for the story,

It's great! Listen to it...

Fantastic first whole book!
