Civilization

Displaced, Book 2

By: Stephen Drake

Narrated by: Justin Hyde

Kevin Murdock, martial artist and outdoorsman extraordinaire, has survived his first five years on the planet Oomah. A new transport pod holding 200 more people has landed, and none of the new arrivals know what to expect.

The pod holds an unexpected surprise for him personally: Rose's brother, who brings with him his own issues. Conflicts also rage between Murdock and Phylicia Cunningham, a distaff cousin to James Whittier, who has her own lust for power.

Counseling common sense and self-reliance, Murdock begins training the arrivals in survival. But even with his knowledge of Oomah, they face overwhelmingly difficult odds in their quest for survival on the strange planet they now call home.

Justine Hyde did a great job!

Being the author, I'm very familiar with the material. Justine Hyde did a great job and was a pleasure to work with!

Vivid & Compelling

If you want a vivid portrayal/example of some of the possible outcomes of colonizing a fertile planet (with a sci-fi/fantasy twist), then read this story.

Warning: Some of the darkest elements of human nature are portrayed in this story. I do not recommend it for young adults. Of course, I would have read it anyway.

The 2nd Pod

This is the 2nd book in the series, beginning with the second pod, five years later. Only Murdock is still alive from the 1st pod. This is a fun scifi adventure. The book is well written and the narrator does a great job!
