About this listen

First contact gone wrong....

It was every starship captain’s nightmare, and for Travis Miller, it was his own personal hell.

He’d done everything by the book, but when the Tahni had attacked him and his crew, there was no choice but to return fire and destroy the first alien vessel humans had ever encountered.

Excoriated in the press, his career in shambles, Travis is exiled to a long patrol of the outer colony worlds. Forgotten, except as a bad example...until the Tahni prove him right by declaring war on the human commonwealth.

Now, Travis Miller is the tip of the spear. Humanity’s best hope for turning back an overwhelming assault on human space. Because to the Tahni, humans are infidels and this is a holy war....

Don’t miss the next explosive series from the number-one Amazon best-selling author of Contact Front, Rick Partlow. This is military sci-fi the way it’s meant to be. It’s perfect for fans of Jay Allan, Jasper T. Scott, and Scott Bartlett.

The genesis roller coaster

This book has its ups and downs. The story is quite appealing, the beginning is monotonous, but I can assure you that it gets better. Can't wait to read the next book in the series called judgement day. This book is about first contact gone wrong, and the war after it.

Excellent story!

I’ve listened to a lot of war stories, this one is different. It’s not kill, fall back, kill, almost get destroyed, kill again. Boring. It’s written in a much different way. I can’t quite put my finger on why I feel that way, I’ll give it a try though. There are two things I admire in this story. The characters are well developed, there’s a personal touch that makes you want to cheer them on. The second is that even though there’s a bit of a cliff hanger, this book is satisfying by itself. In many series individual books feel like there not quite finished. Characters are not developed. The plots don’t make sense until you read the second and third etc. This first book stands on its own, and yes you want to continue reading because that’s what a series does. Bottom line: I wanted to listen to the second not because I had to in order to understand characters or plot. I wanted to because the audio book was that good. Kudos to the narrator as well. His voice is perfect.

Okay book

The narrator was great. There are parts of the story that I feel a bit conflicted. The aliens seem a bit like space ISIS where they are technological space cavemen? Separate men from women because women drive men sexually insane? Honestly out of all the ships in the human’s fleet only one human won and he did it as an underdog. I mean it was entertaining but made no sense. At least this book had a character with a Newfie accent. I don’t think I continue unless I was really bored.
