Author nailed it

" In a FAR FAR Universe " is it really so far lol ?

l was pleasantly surprised and torn that the author wrote in and highlighted how destructive and divisive critical race theory and DE&I can be. And it's not just scary aliens in the story but disruptive far left snow flakes.
Overall the story is a great continuation, looking forward to finishing this and reading more from this author and great narration as well.

oh and big LOL to some of lefties who got their panties and feathers in a bunch over this.

Did not do the first series justice

First off, phenominal performance from Mark Boyett. Easily one of my favorite readers, he's honestly the only reason I kept going as long as I did. As for the story....well let's get into it.

The Ixan Prophecies trilogy was a gritty military sci-fi with adrenaline filled ship to ship combat, emotionally complex character arcs, and a bit of political subplot for parts of the second book, at most.

I'm only 2h into the first book of the Ixan Legacy box set and almost every other chapter contains or is entirely a thinly veiled rant against critical race theory and affirmative action. It wasn't even subtle. Here's a very minor spoiler (not really plot related), but it illustrates how much I'm not kidding with how thinly veiled this was. There were at least 3 chapters so far dedicated or containing long portions supporting the captain's displrasure with the proposed "positive response" program. The author really slaps you in the face with it like that over and over. I came to read about a downtrodden yet cunning ship captain who has to pull humanity out of the fire while simultaneously trying to cope with severe PTSD. That sounded like a fascinating story. instead I got right wing propaganda.

I'm just going to pretend the story ended at the end of the first trilogy. What a shame....a damn shame....

25 hours of right wing/libertarian complaints

Slight spoilers ahead.

I really liked the Ixan Prophecy which is why I bought this book. The narrator is still great, but the story is not what it used to be.
When the big fleets are jockeying for the best possible position to strike or a planet is being invaded the story is great. It is exciting and I'm always wondering what will happen next.
But during the "downtime" you get to hear all about how the left is terrible and going to far with its PC agenda, although the author never says it so explicitly. Everyone should pull themselves up by their bootstraps not drag the hard working rich down.
At first I was expecting the author to touch on how both the left and the right can go to far since this right wing ideology was not present in the first trilogy, but that did not happen. While a far right group was present in the beginning they were quickly written off as genocidal terrorists and never mentioned in detail again. While the radicals on the left were shown in great detail, with tired examples of why "the left is bad", and any progressive change was a terrible overreach.

Overall the narrator and actual SciFi parts are good, but drowned out by the right wing/libertarian complaints the author has about the real world. I finished it, but begrudgingly after realizing it wasn't as good as the first trilogy.

Kids fiction with regressive politics folded in

I love Mark Boyett, and typically I can put up with some rather trash writing as long as its read by his wonderful voice and given so much life by his performance. That said, for the first time I'm refunding a book he read. This is... hardly even a story. It is a poorly paced and thin plot spread over a steaming pile of trump era right wing politics. The main plot (ten chapters in, I can't make it any further) seems to be that the human crew are great people, but the evil elitists want them to take a class in how to not be bigotted dicks to aliens. They object, regressive chest pounding ensues. Do yourself a favor and pick up some other trashy scifi military romp, something from BV larson will have much better action, world building, and at least enough story over top of the right wing political views to read as a novel, not a fictionalized bit of propaganda. Even when I find myself agreeing with the preachy POV characters, their actions are so clearly driven by the desire to tell a story with modern real world parallels that it can't be taken seriously. Scott Barlett has a passable use of English and a decent ability to write characters and dialog, the world building pangs of something that could be interesting, but for every good bit of fiction, you have bullshit excuses and hand waving, always in service of surface level political views.

Come on Mark Boyett, your better than this shit.

Painfully political and plodding storyline

Painfully political and plodding storyline.

Performances were good.

I bought the box set being very hopeful and stopped at book 2.5 as it just wasn’t worth the listen.
