What started as an interesting premise originally, now is just tired moralizing. I am going to hop off this train, and see if it gets interesting or finally concludes.

In the middle of the night, in a house on a quiet street in suburban Minneapolis, intruders silently murder Luke Ellis' parents and load him into a black SUV. The operation takes less than two minutes. Luke will wake up at The Institute, in a room that looks just like his own, except there's no window. And outside his door are other doors, behind which are other kids with special talents - telekinesis and telepathy - who got to this place the same way Luke did: Kalisha, Nick, George, Iris, and 10-year-old Avery Dixon.

As a child, Chris Hooper dreamed of monsters. But in deep space, he found only darkness and isolation. Then, on planet LV178, he and his fellow miners discovered a storm-scoured, sand-blasted hell - and trimonite, the hardest material known to man. When a shuttle crashes into the mining ship Marion, the miners learn that there was more than trimonite deep in the caverns. There was evil, hibernating and waiting for suitable prey.

Not nearly as good as previous books
Reviewed: 10-07-11
I relistened to Book 2 (Galatic Corps) before listening to this, and I am glad I did not because it made this one more understandable or remember where last we left off, but because it made realize why I liked this series in the first place. The Mars series and the Inheritance Trilogy were not nearly as preachy or monologue-filled as this novel was. I have seen others rail against people like Tom Clancy or books like "One Second After," and this is the opposite. If you were not of the author's viewpoint, this is one difficult slog of a book.
The second piece of my criticism is that often this book is not even science fiction or more accurately set in a science fiction setting. If I want to listen to a history of famous corps battles, I am sure there are other books to read, but in this situation the constant returning to old Marine battles simply seemed like filler.

The first book of best-selling sci-fi author Jack Campbell’s new series Beyond the Frontier returns to find Captain John “Black Jack" Geary, the hero of the Lost Fleet series, awoken from cryogenic sleep to take command of the fleet. Geary’s legendary exploits have earned him the adoration of the people—and the enmity of politicians convinced that a living hero can be a very inconvenient thing.

Wow - what a disappointing ending.
Reviewed: 05-17-11
Having listened to the other books, I should have come to expect it, but Jack Campbell raises the incomplete book to another level with this one. Unlike the other reviewers, I thought the book was engaging enough to keep my interest. It is not action thriller though, and for a book that is portrayed as a alien encounter book, the aliens were a surprisingly low part of the book. The book also did not further that relationship between the two much. One could miss reading this book in the series, and one would really not miss much.
Its greatest fault though has to be the ending. I can appreciate that John Hemry / Campbell wants to start another gravy train series of books or science fiction soap opera, but how about completing at least one thread before rapidly completely the book. I won't give anything away, but it would appear he had a number of pages to fill put in just enough star systems, and then erected a threat in the final one. At this point, after purchasing the Lost Fleet series, I am contemplating letting the train go on without me.

Already cited on the floor of Congress and discussed in the corridors of the Pentagon as a book all Americans should read, One Second After is the story of a war scenario that could become all too terrifyingly real. Based upon a real weapon - the Electro Magnetic Pulse (EMP) - which may already be in the hands of our enemies, it is a truly realistic look at the awesome power of a weapon that can destroy the entire United States.

Reviewed: 04-29-09
I notice a lot of the reviews and the "helpful" comments have gotten red vs. blue in nature. Let me stress one thing - this book was a good read. It requires some suspension of belief, but if you are a fan of genre, it provides a nice counterpoint to books like "The Road." In some sense, it's an slightly optimist apocalyptic literature.
One of the best purchases I made this year along with Split Second.
