Those Who Came Before

The Forgotten Ship, Book 3

By: J.N. Chaney, Terry Mixon

Narrated by: Jeffrey Kafer

A lost alien race.

Drake and Yukiko have been preparing the floating city of Atlantis for three million refugees, but every time they solve one problem, another pops up. The Jontihem are unsure of how to respond, and then there is the ancient alien facility on the sea floor under Atlantis.

Powerful artifacts that no one understands.

Why did Those Who Came Before build it? What was its purpose? Why is it still active? Those secrets, and many more, are waiting to be revealed. If, of course, Drake can keep The Authority from killing him and taking it all over. Or can the alien structure strike back at those who wish it harm?

Fantastic Seried

Good mix of sci-fi, adventure, and intrigue. Characters are well developed and a good plot line that will make this a long lasting and interesting series.

love it more

please keep writing in this series. I love the story line. I can't wait to listen ever chance I get. I'm addicted to this one.

The story line.

Great new series! A great plot with many types of characters. Can’t wait till the book is available!

Solid storytelling

Good follow-up to the previous book. The narrator (J. Kafer) nails it. I enjoyed the ongoing mystery of Those Who Came Before, as well as the continuation of Earth’s Red Plague ship/history. The main character(s) are somewhat stiff, but these books are short in length and cram a lot into the narrative at (perhaps) the expense of character growth and development. However, the main characters are adults, so, unless there’s a complete 180; growth is not required. Adaptation to their circumstances is more important. Looking forward to the next installment.
