"Real science in Science Fiction. This is a must read for fans of SF." >(John S. Gertsch, Amazon Reviewer)
Perfect for fans of Peter F. Hamilton, Iain M. Banks, and Orson Scott Card, Fear the Sky is a hard-hitting sci-fi thriller that will have you looking at the stars in a different way.
In eleven years' time, a million members of an alien race will arrive at Earth. Years before they enter orbit, their approach will be announced by the flare of a thousand flames in the sky, their ships' huge engines burning hard to slow them from the vast speeds needed to cross interstellar space. These foreboding lights will shine in our night sky like new stars, getting ever brighter until they outshine even the sun, casting ominous shadows and banishing the night until they suddenly blink out. Their technology is vastly superior to ours, and they know they cannot possibly lose the coming conflict. But they, like us, have found no answer to the destructive force of the atom, and they have no intention of facing the onslaught of our primitive nuclear arsenal or the devastation it would wreak on the planet they crave. So they have flung out an advance party in front of them, hidden within one of the countless asteroids randomly roaming the void. They do not want us, they want our planet. Their Agents are arriving.

Awesome new series!!

The sci-fi elements are mainly advanced technology of weaponry, material science, and medical nanobots that can cure all infectious diseases. The insights of physics for deciphering anomalous meteors is well crafted. The old school spy tradecraft is also nicely rendered, although the explanations do tend to bog down a bit especially late in the tale. Of particular note is the inclusion of aliens with differing perspectives on politics and morality which is quite refreshing relative to the more typical fare of an alien monolithic mindset. There's also a nice diversity of talents and skillsets from the ensemble cast of Earth conspirators.
The narration is well done with an excellent rendition of both genders and solid pacing. The overall tone is a bit laid back which dovetails nicely with the main character, but can get a bit incongruous at times depending on the action.

Where does Fear the Sky rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
I enjoyed this book because it offered some interesting twists on the first contact/invasion storyline.Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I found myself listening through this book faster than I usually do. If I have the block of time, this is a book I'd listen to in one sitting.An Interesting First Contact Twist

Great story, previous to this book I listen to the Martian by the same narrator and by now my inner voice sounds like him. Can wait for the next book in the series.
