Publisher's Summary
It was just one fight, but it changed Kaiden Jericho's life forever.
He was in a gang but was trying to change his future, when a board member of the elite advanced academy NEXUS made a snap decision and offered him a chance.
Then fate, or an unbalanced genius, offered him another.
The Nexus Academy is for the elite trainees from Earth, and now trials from our alien allies, as they teach the future generation how to fight, lead, hack, spy, and many other talents and tactics.
Hired by companies, governments, and NGOs, these graduates work to pay off the massive debt their training at the academy accumulates.
You don't become the best of the best by staying alive. With the Animus, you are closer to perfection with each death you suffer.
Kaiden Jericho would rather skip the death part, thank you very much.
Includes special note from co-author Michael Anderle.

Light and Very Entertaining.
Story flowed well and was easy to follow. Made me laugh quite a bit. Thoroughly enjoyable. I'm in my 60's and the youthful energy and attitude was refreshing

Narrator on point
What a fun listen, the banter between the main character and his AI is brilliant. Nothing I dislike so far. Can’t wait for book two

Funny
The kind of humour that you are embarrassed to admit strikes a primal chord in the male psyche. Main character and his AI are developed well; secondary characters show promise. I’m a bit late of a sucker for the ‘battle school’ genre beginning with my introduction to Ender’s Game decades ago. Reader pulls off what the author intended - great delivery! Well done and thank you.

Awesome first three books become a credit sink
I loved this book and the narrator performance but have issues giving it 5 stars.
The main issue being that the first 3 books were great and of decent length but as the series progresses, the fact that they have set a goal of 12 books at any cost becomes apparent. The 4,5 and 6th feel like chapters with their short length of slightly over 6 hours in duration. In essence it's a good story but be prepared to sink 12 credits in for 8 books at best.

Sci-Fi isn't my favourite genre however
I loved everything about this book even though Sci-Fi isn't my genre. loved all the different perspectives and characters involved. The author's notes was however my favorite part getting a read behind the mind of the creators and I will most definitely be reading the rest of the series.

Great story
Good story lines and pretty nice rendition!
Although, I got to say that I would have like to smack the main character’s head when he chose the quick update to his AI.
I liked that most characters have depths but their introduction and self introspection isn’t too long. Good pace during the story!
Thanks

very entertaining
doesn't seem very original in the overcrowded genre but certainly is entertaining. Worth the audio book credit
