First Life

The River Saga, Book 1

By: Nathan Hystad

Narrated by: Christopher Ryan Grant

A dangerous expedition. Extraterrestrial alliances. Unpredictable enemies.

Colton Beck has six months to live. He works for the Angor near Los Angeles, aware that any day could be his last.

The Angor arrived 20 years ago, resolved to help mankind survive, but not everyone believes their motives are honorable.

When the Angor offer humanity a colony world, Colton is determined to see another planet before his final breath. He’s been diagnosed with Xeno, a rare disorder that surfaced with the Angor’s arrival, but he won’t let this stop him.

With the help of his old friend Indie Hart, now the single most powerful human on Earth, he joins the Expedition to Dicore. They access the River, an alien technology that allows nearly instantaneous travel between worlds, and their universe is quickly expanded. What they find on Dicore is far from idyllic, and Colton struggles to navigate their new existence while coping with his impending death.

First Life is a gripping science fiction adventure tale from the best-selling author of The Event, Lost Contact, and Final Days.

EXCEPTIONAL!!!!!!!

the narrator takes a chapter or two to get to where everything is coming out smooth or to where I got used to him but he did a great job very good with a different voices for each character and they all sounded great the story was intriguing and kept me pushing on not wanting to put the book down a thrilling story captivating from start to finish I had looked at this book several times considering it very very glad I finally did I will be following this story to the conclusion through hopefully many books loved it

Not enough to entice me for the 2nd book

I felt the whole 2nd half was just a build up to the next book. Why can't we get books that just close a story? Lots of potential, but became silly.

Starts slow

Takes a while to get going but after a few chapters it started to get interesting.

very good

will love if you like alien invasion type books, and a little different, we accept them a lot quicker without fighting like most other stories

Excellent !!!

Excellent book. Going right into the second. Man, you just can’t trust people. Everyone is dirty. It’s like that in real life too!!!
