Summary

A thrilling collection of the entire best-selling Orbs series from New York Times best-selling author Nicholas Sansbury Smith.

While training for a manned mission to Mars, Dr. Sophie Winston and her team of scientists find themselves cut off from the rest of the world. Trapped inside a biosphere deep within the confines of Cheyenne Mountain, Sophie and crew discover they are the survivors of a brutal alien invasion. But as they struggle to stay alive, they realize their safe haven is far from safe and that they must team up with other survivors around the world to defeat the aliens before it’s too late for humanity and the Earth.

Great Sci Fi

Great story from start to finish really rooted for the charters which was a lot to do with excellent narration. Hope the next book I listen to will be half as good 👍

a good piece of sci fi

it was very sweet to get through this whole box of 4 books. it was exciting and sad at some points. the overall story was a good fit. the end was a bid like you leave me hanging here ;) so lets see what you think

good story but...highly repetitive descriptive words.

Good story and good narrator, but the descriptive words a far too repetitive to the point it's funny then annoyingly predictable and you find yourself mocking the narrator.

First two books were acceptable - the remaining debatable

The first two books were ok, the story was never going to be believable but it had some merits. This is not an author who knows how to layer information to keep you drawn into the ecosystem and it became obvious that there were huge plot holes. I started to get frustrated when every main character who got killed off managed a complete swan song at the end (it even became comical) - books 3 and 4 were just drawn out and rambling presenting the antagonists with 4 terrible options and then managing to put them through each one, one after another. My system reset during book 4 and I couldn’t even be bothered to find the position again to restart listening so I marked it as complete. The end.

An interesting story

As an included book I won’t complain too much as I listened to it all. It could have been better researched in some areas and the narrater tended to shout and yell too much for me but otherwise it was worth a listen.

so fat so good

just a few hours in, but quite enjoying it so far. nothing surprising me as yet, but then I've read so much sci fi, I can generally predict storylines. that doesn't detract from the book though, I'm glad I gave this a chance.
