Colony Builders

A Gamelit Factory Epic

By: Han Yang

Narrated by: Boise Blue

Alex ventures to the Oculi System to industrialize Oculi 9 in what could be humanity's last hope!

In the year 3152, humanity is at war with three species who suppress our existence. While one is more ruthless than the others, our species is viewed as an unstable threat to the galactic balance.

Resources are finite, battle is ubiquitous, and the enemies of Earth are unrelenting. The average human is born to fight for the species’ survival, deprived of a normal life so that one day a future generation may know peace. The expansions of Alpha Centauri are under siege while the Wolf System is down to just a few outposts.

Not all is lost, though. Sol System is well-defended, a beacon of hope that desperately needs materials for its factories to support the war efforts. Call it luck, divine intervention, or just happenstance, but long-distance wormholes are finally discovered, and with them, expeditions into the depths of space bring hope of a restored balance.

A new initiative is born with the singular task of saving the species: The Colony Builders.

Alex, a hero clinging to the slim chance of victory, is initiated into the Colony Builders program. Sent to a distant solar system with a less than ideal crew, a basic replicator machine, and infinite blueprints, it's up to him to help turn the tide through colonization, industrialization, and manufacturing.

His efforts will either turn the Oculi System into something revered, or the planet's threats will consume him.

If you enjoy conveyor belts, blueprints, factories, warehouses, and powerplant creations then join Alex in his quest to save Earth!

actually good

I was not expecting much from this title but was pleasantly surprised. it kept my attention and the reader did well.

Colony Builders

This is another great book by Han Yang. He still continues to amaze. Like the title of the book, this was a great book involving world building with Alex.

RTS/RPG or Tower Defense with a human face

This ticks the boxes for being a novelzation of a game like Factorio, Starcraft, or Mindustry. it's fun listening to how they move through the struggles of survival.

I'd say they climbed the tech tree a little too quickly. and they overcame obstacles based on a bit of deus ex machina. I'd love to hear more from this universe.

A good story to build on

I enjoy base building and hardcore science fiction. This narrative does a good job of setting the direction for the rest of the series.

Han Yang is amazing!

The narration and writing are 10/10 and this is such an easy listen. Boise Blue's narration is some of my favorite.
