Antecedents' Legacy

Antecedents' Legacy, Book 1

De: Daniel Schinhofen

Narrado por: Andrea Parsneau

Zander Greaves grew up in Compton, California—violence, pain, and strife were his life for his first eighteen years.

His personality was forged by his childhood, and he was determined to find a way to make his past work for him.

As soon as he could, Zander decided to find work as a military contractor. The company he’d badgered for a job eventually hired him, earning him the nickname “Badger.” While most people dropped out of the lifestyle after a few years, Zander had found a place that felt right to him.

A decade in, he’d even found a couple of friends who stayed on with him. One was Devin Smith, the heavy weapons specialist for the squad and a proud Texan. Another was Selda Engel, their tech specialist. She’d slowly transitioned from a friend to a friend-with-benefits, but even that had started to become more.

On rotation again, Zander made a vow to ask Selda to recognize their relationship as more than just a casual hookup, planning to do so as soon as they were back off schedule. The universe, however, was about to remind him of a crucial lesson and old adage: “Life is what happens when you’re busy making plans.” Sent out into the desert on what looked like a wild goose chase, they were about to head back when everything changed.

Shifted by quantum entanglement from Earth to an alien planet, Zander and his squad would have to adapt—and quickly—if they wanted to live. As they tried to understand what was happening, the stark truth of their new reality thrust itself on the shaken humans. Giant machines of war were attacking an equally humongous bug.

And, quite unfortunately, the giant bug had a lot of little friends. The ensuing firefight ended with Zander left as the sole human survivor. Out of his dimension and wounded, he had to face an entirely new universe, and the Antecedents' Legacy would soon become the primary focus of his life.

Can't wait for more!

Loved it. The humor was good. The action was good. The narrator was amazing as usual.

maverick the book, Isekai to another world story..

Its a pretty solid start but for 11Hrs, Its a bit to short, The action is pretty shallow if you take out all the training parts, And the whole crew is almost all female. Insert sex statement here.

There is also a lot about the book that just feels like a bit of a disconnect, The MC gos from our modern earth, and ends up in a galaxy far far away with a lot of tech..... But then they stand still to shoot with there freaking mechs...... Sigh. Moving and shooting is something a Child can put together....

very interesting

I actually didn't wait for the audiobook before I went through the beginning of the story. I'm a fan of this author's writing but there are couple stories where I didn't quite like the first couple books in this series. for this one it was a couple of parts that I personally hated. as a general rule I always take it easy on the first book of any serious as they tend to be shaky Endeavors in my experience and that's true for even tried and true authors. with that said I did pay into the author's, redacted for Amazon, to see the chapters ahead of time. my favorite series from this author is aether's Revival and that book came out halfway through this month give or take so I got to see the new chapters for this story for book two. as of the time of this review the first five were available and they kind of changed my opinion about what the story is going to develop into. after that I went ahead and picked up the audio for book one to go back through the story again. the parts of the book that I hated before I still do now, but I have a more favorable opinion of the story now than I did after I finish the book for the first time. I think it's going to shape up to be a really awesome story going forward and I'm quite interested at this point. are being character is a mercenary who sees his unit wiped out in front of him and through alien Tech transitions to another universe. the crew of the alien ship is a number of different races and at least for the females aboard that doesn't stop our main character from being interested. the character is struggling with the loss of his fiance throughout the story which is probably why he's willing to make risky decisions as he fights for his place on this spaceship. I really like the mech s. the next book starts out with them visiting a space station and the main character has been separated from the crew temporarily. you're going to have to check out this book to find out how that happened. ultimately for the first book of any series the questions going to be whether or not I was entertained to which the answer was yes. followed closely by would I be interested in a sequel to which the answer is yes and whether or not I would recommend this story to somebody reading the review and again the answer is yes. lastly, I'll simply say Well done to everybody who had a hand in bringing the story to us, the audiobook listeners.

quirky crew anime fun times

Schinhoffen has the wonderful balance of action, sexy, and emotional. I am a fan of almost all of his series and the fact that Andrea narrates only adds to the experience as she makes the books even better!

Badger is funny and so are most of the characters. The captain isn’t in much of the story in the first book.
