Coming Home

By: Michael Chatfield

Narrated by: Dan Bittner

Salchar and the Free Fleet are tired, low on resources, man power and ships that should actually be flying. Yet they have a mandate, free those that are being oppressed.

Sarenmenti, Humans, Kuruvians, Chaleelians, and the genetic creations of the AI called the Planner, Avarians, band together under the banner of the Free Fleet to go to the fleet’s birthplace - Earth. Life is nothing but a battle for a survival, and Salchar is going to have to use all of his skills to keep his people alive.

The galaxy has a few surprises to throw his way, as well as some politicians up to their own games. Salchar is going to wish for battles instead of dealing with the twisted minds of politicians and a people that think they are still the center of the universe.

space opera goodness

I like a hero that is a hero first and confused second. This story does not wait time on the MC whingeing or second guessing. The writer does well with putting just enough in so you know the MC is not uncaring. Well done.

I always play these books at 1.30 speed though. *shrug*

The politics of the U.S.

I did not enjoy the portral of the USA, it goes against the ideas of the free fleet by ostracizing one of the few countries that would welcome this force. Even with a militant society the US would assist in free fleet activity willingly, examples, NATO and Korean war. the fact that the characters don't bring up the USA's willingness to fight against oppressive regimes, kinda shows a very idealized world view. likley the author does not agree with republics as a form of government and that use US intervention in world conflicts is wrong. even though with the emphasis on South Korea, which exists due to that intervention. just a thought.

good

Someone with no real fighting experience helps lead other to be the best they can be to save earth and other alien planets.

Ohhhh myyy gods. Let Dan Bittner tell you a story...

Ohhhh myyy gods. That was soooooooo good. I really love James, gamer tag Salchar and the group of gamers and others that were recruited together. What they've been able to do since they've escaped from the alien overlords that kidnapped them, has been amazing. By working together and working towards their goal to get back to their families. The reader feels like their actively apart of the action and that is simply astonishing. The rest of the plan is to not only take earth back from the alien syndicate (pirates) but to stop them cold. And yes Salchar understands that winning a few battles isn't gonna stop the pirates. Since they've gotten away with these shenanigans for far too long, the syndicate isn't gonna wanna stop. This is War! Where planetary systems are at stake!
So yeah grab the audiobook and let Dan Bittner tell you an action-packed adventure.

good one

Great second book. Just one question, how tall is the MC supposed to be? I was thinking he was 7 to 8 feet tall, then the narrator said that he was 6 feet tall but he also said that he had gotten two feet taller when he what threw the awakening. so what is it?
