The Awakening

Evaran Chronicles, Book 1

By: Adair Hart

Narrated by: Michael Pauley

A heavily damaged alien research vessel in the Andromeda galaxy is hurtling toward a planet. The aliens should not be there. They have been traveling through space and time, abducting apex predators and sticking them in virtual simulations for research. The problem is the virtual simulations are powering down, unleashing the specimens on the ship.

Dr. Albert Snowden and his niece, Emily, were abducted by the aliens. They are visited by a mysterious being named Evaran in the last minutes of the virtual simulation. He has decided to interfere in this timeline-changing event and rescue them.

Stopping the ship from crashing into the planet before getting to Evaran's ship is one issue. Navigating the apex predators on the loose is another. To make matters worse, Jerzan Graduul, infamous leader of the Bloodbore mercenary pack, has boarded the ship in search of salvage opportunities, and has noticed Evaran's ship. The hunt begins.

A quick Listen for Sci-Fi Fans!

A quick listen that was both creative and interesting with all the best sci-fi elements, alien abduction, creatures, spaceships and technology that's out of this world.

Michael Pauley's performance was fantastic. I've listened to several books narrated by Pauley, and believe this is some of his best work. While the narration started off slightly monotone, it quickly picked up and before you know it, Pauley pulled the listener in with his enthusiasm, tones and different alien voices.

What did you like best about this story?

The Awakening is a very imaginative exciting sci-fi book that I could not stop listening to it once I started. A handful of people are abducted by aliens but are in a deep sleep and think they are living their lives as normal, kinda Matrix-like.

Good book, well read. This book has it all, it’s funny, exciting, moving,, if you like good sci-fi this should bet top of your list. Right after I finished this book I bought the book that has books one through three so I can continue the story, and that is what I recommend you to do. You can have the first three books for one credit,

A Truly Original Story

This was a great book. and I cant wait to see what the author does with the series. it's like a mix a few different story lines all mixed together or at least the suggestion of them. I think we will see them fleshed out in later books. Although i was given this book in exchange for an honest review I would have spend the credit on it anyway. the narration was good but it was more of a novella in size rather than a whole book. I hope that changed in the future.

Interesting plot setup!

This book was given to me for free at my request, and I provided this voluntary review.

I don't want to describe the plot, because I feel like it would give away too much of the story, and the discoveries when the story opens are a lot of fun!

The idea behind the plot line is really interesting! However, I kind of got lost with the new group of characters that were added midway through. I even stopped and rewound a couple of hours to start over where the new characters came in, but I still had a hard time following their plot line. I'm not sure if it's because it was difficult to follow or if I couldn't stay focused because those characters didn't interest me. For context, I will share that I'm new to listening to (and following) space dramas.
