Genesis

The Holy War Series, Book 1

De: Rick Partlow

Narrado por: James Patrick Cronin

First contact gone wrong....

It was every starship captain’s nightmare, and for Travis Miller, it was his own personal hell.

He’d done everything by the book, but when the Tahni had attacked him and his crew, there was no choice but to return fire and destroy the first alien vessel humans had ever encountered.

Excoriated in the press, his career in shambles, Travis is exiled to a long patrol of the outer colony worlds. Forgotten, except as a bad example...until the Tahni prove him right by declaring war on the human commonwealth.

Now, Travis Miller is the tip of the spear. Humanity’s best hope for turning back an overwhelming assault on human space. Because to the Tahni, humans are infidels and this is a holy war....

Don’t miss the next explosive series from the number-one Amazon best-selling author of Contact Front, Rick Partlow. This is military sci-fi the way it’s meant to be. It’s perfect for fans of Jay Allan, Jasper T. Scott, and Scott Bartlett.

Warhammer from a different angle

At the risk of spoils this book has very warhammer vibes. Except in a reverse fashion where humans are the defenders. The narrator does a great job too.

Excellent Space Combat!

This is absolutely fantastic space combat story telling. Good descriptions and world building with excellent pacing. Really enjoyed it.

Awesome military sci-fi

Good writing for tactical military space sci-fi. Very good sound quality and reading. Would highly recommend

For free

Hard to beat for free. Worth the time fast action. And the whole series is free.

Worth the listen!

The story was great, the changes in accent by the reader greatly enhanced the experience!

Military sci-fi, explore, expand, contact

Enjoyed the narration with a good storyline with a great pace that flowed well.

Future with mega cities and conflict with enough undercurrent of politics to screw any good soldier or captain just doing their job. Specially, when exploring the unknown.

World Building

Since this is the first book of the series it has a bigger focus on world/universe building rather than actual action but it dose pick up the pace by chapter 18

Great start to the series!

This book surprised me, it seemed in the same vein as the Expanse but more military, which for me is a good thing.

Six Stars

I’d give Rick Partlow’s new series six stars if I could!
Cronin’s able, talented performance brings an added bonus to Partlow’s newest tour-de-force.
Human, believable characters, imaginative plot lines in a masterfully crafted, fast moving, yet suspenseful work delights the reader/listener.
As highly recommended for fans of great mil sci-fi as Partlow’s preceding series. Added bonus...if you’re new to Partlow’s work, he has a huge backlist of work every bit as good as Genesis. You can spend time there while waiting for ‘next’ book. U

Tactically sound

Nice to read a story in which the narrative reveals the author has invested the time to learn sound military tactics.

Regard your soldiers as your children, and they will follow you into the deepest valleys; look on them as your own beloved sons, and they will stand by you even unto death.
