They came, but not in peace. They came to destroy us. Our cities crumbled. Our people died by the billions. Their weapons were sophisticated beyond our worst nightmare. In this chaos, a teenage boy must get his sister to safety and, in doing so, become a man.
Iron Mike is a light science-fiction story. Yes, aliens invade, but they're more the background. It's a heavily character-driven book. It begins with Mike trying to get his younger sister to safety, to get her "behind a line of soldiers at Fort Knox" to keep her safe from potential looters and rapists. Along the way, Mike picks up strays, so his responsibilities increase exponentially. Hard decisions are made, as in any apocalyptic tale, and consequences are accepted.

The author created a unique premise for this book.While I did enjoy the books uniqueness, it was hard for me to connect with the characters.The story seems to be directed toward a younger audience.The "Boy" is cast as the perfect young "Hero" which is always a turn off for me.I prefer my post apocalyptic stories to be grittier,with flawed characters who struggle to survive.The narrator has a pleasant voice.I received an audiobook from the author in exchange for an honest review.YA Sci-Fi

Great Alien Invasion Story

But my main objection is with the narration. I don't mind a near raider that simply reads the text rather than acting it. But the mispronunciations became intrusive by about the 1st 3rd of the book. Someone should have edited the narration better.
That being said, I did keep listening; and I did enjoy the book overall. I just found the narration in need of editing, much like many digital texts need editing.
Like the story, but---

What made the experience of listening to Iron Mike the most enjoyable?
Sit Back Close your eyes as The narrator take your on truly unique ride through end of world where thing you can see can really harm you where without moment notice world descend into chaos. The Narrator Zachary does amazing job of catching each character in voice that make you know them even when you in scene of pure chaos where many of them all speaking at once. Though really have to give him thumbs up for whole dog thought voice i loved Hershey mental voice. It is great entailed end of world with many levels many depths of death life love and sorrow. All can say is buy it listen to keep few tissue near hand for no charcters truly safe from end of world by alien apocalypses .What about Zachary Liebenstein’s performance did you like?
I have to say monologues of each character was truly great though i love way he did inner thought bestUnque end of World book Read Great Voice

Ryan Michael Sanderlin (Iron Mike) is a likable protagonist who has to overcome heartbreaking trials during the course of the story. The reader will cheer for his triumphs and feel remorse for his failures. The secondary characters are also well written, three dimensional, and it feels like you really get know them. With the unique character Hershey, Rose also blends a little humor into the novel.
The one quibble I have with the audiobook version of the novel is the narration. While Zachary Liebenstein speaks clearly, there is a strange cadence to the narration that takes some getting used to. It almost seems the words are being read from flash cards, with maybe five words read, a pause, then five more words read, and another pause.
I highly recommend Iron Mike and would definitely be interested in reading a sequel.

There not much of anything I would change about this story other than to get a part two.
I feel that mature teens would enjoy this book as well.

Great coming of age novel

This book makes one think about what would happen if we had "visitors" invading us here on earth. However, it could have been more thought provoking had there not been the strong language – almost nonstop F bombs. I was ready for it to be over.
The narration by Zachary Lichtenstein was above-average and I enjoyed listening to his performance.
Notes: strong language, violence (including rape)
Overall three stars
Narration for stars

I love the way Patrica portrayed the post-apocalyptic world in her book Iron Mike. In the world she creates, aliens are the culprit. I like the multiple points of view. We get to see some of the action from the view of the Aliens. This is important. I wont say why. I don't want to spoil anything. One of the main characters is also a dog. She pulls it off brilliantly. The world as seen by the dog is both insightful and immensely funny at times.In the beginning as the main characters come together they are faced with a daycare center full of kids. I'm extremely well read in this genre and that was a new one for me. There were some heart wrenching moments.
Again, without spoiling things, let me say the way the aliens trap the remaining humans is simple yet horrifying.
Overall a great read.
A fresh new take on the post apocalyptic world
