Publisher’s Summary
The best-selling, epic space adventure, Freedom’s Fire: the complete series of six audiobooks, in one box set.
It was never a question of if the aliens would come, it was only ever when.
The first interstellar war, a generation ago, left humanity enslaved. Now, humans fight in the armies of their masters to save themselves from annihilation.
At least, that’s what the propaganda insists is true. What the layers of lies keep hidden is how badly the new war is going for the people of earth.
Now, it’s Dylan Kane’s turn to blast into the heavens and join the battle, but what his masters don’t know is that, by putting a weapon in his hands, they’re giving him the key to unlocking his hopes of freedom.
When the rail-gun slugs are tearing through his ship and the vacuum is sucking the life out of his wounded friends, will Dylan’s years of repressed rage turn into enough bravery to make his dream come true?

- Audiobook one: Freedom’s Fire

- Audiobook three: Freedom’s Fray

What Audible Listeners Are Saying
4/5 stars — “Worth a listen. But sadly 100% bipolar characters.”
Its definitely worth your time but you will want to play it at 1.35x speed. The voice guy drags it out painfully. 1.35 will restore it to normal talking speed.I went through the box set in the last 48hrs and have no regrets just frustrations with the voice, plot, action and characters.
EVERY Single main character in the book interacts with every other character like an absolute 100% aggressive, angry, confrontational, emotional wrecks that cannot talk without dropping constant shitty remarks at everyone back and forth at every possible moment but then they flip a switch and morph into Seal Team Six. Then they are espousing their unending love and trust and respect for each other only to cut right back to yelling and being asses to each other like some bipolar nightmare.
First Two books feel polished but then 3 through 6 feel rushed out and will leave you feeling it.
The author simply introduces magical new technology to move the plot forward or goes full magical and tosses in a boom at kills 15 ships or 100 ships in order to balance the books to get the plot to match up.
The main characters seem to be able to go head on face to face with enemies outnumbered by 50 to 1 in chaotic gunfights and are shooting through armor killing them with single shots like james bond or a couple shots will tear apart the armor like its made of paper. Amor in space, wouldnt it just get a tiny hole? If you shoot a car with bullets it just gets holes, its not going to send the doors flying away torn apart like paper, right? Especially something made and hardened as combat armor and space suit. Something that can fly at 30g and handle vacuum will just get a hole punched through from bullets… Physics?
Many times it feels like the main characters might as well be pro MMA fighters unleashed on a kindergarten playground in a fist fight against blind children. That’s how almost every battle plays out againts the aliens except for when the author want to move the plot along by blowing up a ship or 100 friendly ships or killing off one of the handful of hollow character that seem created just so he has one to kill. Then its right back to the main character being the god of war and unstoppable killing 60000 aliens with no effort.
I see now at the end of the review I have more frustrations than I originally thought 🙁

4/5 stars — “Overall good book….. but”
the only issue I had with the book which is my opinion was a big one almost every character seemed to have a very negative attitude and after listening the book for 36 hours you really start to feel negative yourself. it is a dystopian environment the one wishes for a couple more emotional highs.— Adam Dintelman, Audible listener
5/5 stars — “Great book, especially for one credit”
A great read. Loved it overall. Great suspense through out. My only complaint is some of the antagonists are bit over the top, but I still loved the book.— Lisa Diaz, Audible listener
