Into the Light

Out of the Dark, Book 2

By: David Weber, Chris Kennedy

Narrated by: Ralph Lister

In New York Times best-selling science fiction epic Out of the Dark, Earth beat back an alien invasion. Now we've got to make sure they don't come back, in Into the Light.

The Shongairi conquered Earth. In mere minutes, half the human race died, and our cities lay in shattered ruins.

But the Shongairi didn't expect the survivors' tenacity. And, crucially, they didn't know that Earth harbored two species of intelligent, tool-using bipeds. One of them was us. The other, long-lived and lethal, was hiding in the mountains of Eastern Europe, the subject of fantasy and legend. When they emerged and made alliance with humankind, the invading aliens didn't stand a chance.

Now Earth is once again ours. Aided by the advanced tech the aliens left behind, we're rebuilding as fast as we can.

Meanwhile, a select few of our blood-drinking immortals are on their way to the Shongairi home world, having commandeered one of the alien starships...the planet-busting kind.

better narration than first book.

Good story but the Narration needs a lot of work. this is better than book 1 narration. But not by a lot. Very little inflection or voice change between characters. I only hope book 3 has a better narrator. He is certainly no Allison Johnson.

Always good

Great continuation of the previous storyline. Believable sci-fi story telling. Worth a listen while relaxing.

Refreshing Twist

Loved this second book just as much as the first. I was engaged all the way through. The narrator really needs some work though. Everything was emphasized and not every character talks with such force or emphasis. It was also hard to differentiate the characters within the conversations. Its almost as though he lost track of who he was performing. The story totally saved him.....but it would have been a dynamic audible book with a more seasoned narrator. I ended up reading my Kindle so I could get my characters down in my mind. That helped immensely.

INto the light

I just wish I could read/find book 3 of the series. Will be looking for the next book in the series

Humanity returns.

Awesome story of humanity rising from the ashes to take its place in the universe.... with Vampires.
