A Learning Experience, Book 1

De: Christopher G. Nuttall

Narrado por: Christian Rummel

Earth is not alone. There is a towering civilization out in the galaxy, far greater than anything we can imagine. But we are isolated from the galaxy...until now.

When a bunch of interstellar scavengers approach Earth intending to abduct a few dozen humans and sell them into slavery in the darkest, they make the mistake of picking on Steve Stuart and his friends, ex-military veterans all. Unprepared for humans who can actually fight, unaware of the true capabilities of their stolen starships, the scavengers rapidly lose control of the ship - and their lives.

To Steve the captured starship represents a great opportunity, one to establish a new civilization away from Earth and its increasingly oppressive bureaucracy. But with the aliens plotting their revenge and human factions suspicious of the new technology, it will be far from easy to create a whole new world....

Glad I listened but not interested in sequel

A fun listen if you are interested in a right-wing, libertarian utopia where only former military people know what is best, everybody needs to be armed and an NRA member, and rules are bad.

great storyline.

this story shines a light on how the world would look if our veterans were put in charge. not a bad world at all!

Good book

This book was entertaining and not boring. I look forward to the next book in the series.

Their characters has a strange views

A Great Book

Would you consider the audio edition of A Learning Experience, Book 1 to be better than the print version?

This was a great book and the author knows his subject, well written. A good read.

good start

reminded me of a right wing version of the ALICE books.
Character were will developed and likeable. The technology progression was logical.

great perfect. wish this eas a movie

books 1-3 perfect. books 4 5 6 and 7 suck because they change nattators . I would pay to have this narrator read the whole series

excellent new series by Nuttall

Christopher Nuttall is an obvious libertarian with a political style reminiscent of Heinlein and a writing style all his own.

the rate of advancement of the humans in this book seems a little far fetched, even for Sci Fi but then I don't read Nuttall for hard science fiction, I read his stuff as brain candy.

And as candy suppliers go, he beats Willy Wonka hands down.

Surprisingly good story and narration

At first, I thought the book was going to suck, as the opening read like a bad episode of star trek next generation, but then it got good, and kept getting better as it went along. I really liked the libertatian bent in style, and the homage to Heinlein!

I will definitely pick up the next in the series.

Fantastic !

A librarian buddy of mine recommended this author . I've not been disappointed yet . If you're into military SCI - FI and well thought out plot lines , you can't help but to enjoy this series .
