NecroTek

The Necrotek Series, Book 1

De: Jonathan Maberry

Narrado por: Ray Porter

From New York Times bestselling author Jonathan Maberry, NecroTek is a gripping sci-fi thriller full of ghosts, gods, and a battle for the soul of humanity.

Neither cosmic philosopher Lars Soren, hotshot pilot Bianca Petrescu, nor the high priestess Jessica McHugh—Lady Death herself—can say quite where in the galaxy they are. But after an experiment gone horribly wrong, one thing is clear: Asphodel Station isn’t in orbit around Jupiter any longer. Worse, the monsters that live out here—ancient eldritch beings thought only to exist in stories and nightmares—have now been alerted to Earth’s existence.

Their army of Shoggoths is coming for us next.

Humanity’s only hope for survival lies on the surface of the alien world of Shadderal, where a ghost named Lost, the last of an ancient race, still haunts the vast plains of the Field of Dead Birds. But hope has a cost. Lost tells Soren about ancient derelict spacecraft awaiting on Shadderal, shapeshifting machines that blend ultra-advanced technology with the dark powers of necromancy. These ships might just be nimble enough to defend mankind against the coming invasion.

But there’s a catch: they can only be piloted by the dead.

As human starfighters fall in battle, their spirits can be called back from death to pilot these ghost ships of a fallen race. But will this new necromantic technology—NecroTek—allow humanity to stand against the vast armies of the Shoggoths? And even if it can, is the war to save the human race worth the cost of its pilots’ immortal souls?

Absolute action!

Oh man it is just pure fire! The narrative of Mr. Ray Porter is phenomenal and the writing never disappoints!! Just really fun! Thank you for this I can't wait for more!!!

The terror of the great deep unknown.

The flaking and pitting of the soul when melded to machine and it right to choose how it shall be done. The bring of this war to to the gods, giving them a war they won’t believe.

Very engaging

It is rare that I get so into a book that I get emotionally attached to the storyline.
this one I did. I was cheering when The Lost Souls were victorious and was close to tears when each fell. one by one.
I "saw" what was going to happen but, I still listened. Impatience creased my brow but couldn't tear myself away.
When the event did happen, I admit, I cheered.
Definitely will get book 2.

Awesome

Hold on tight, it's a wild ride. This is one of those books that you don't want to end. The match of author and narrator could not be better.

Awesome!

Brilliantly written and narrated. Fantastic new world building and great characters! Can’t wait for the next one!

Wow pleasantly surprised how good

freaking amazing, way better than expected Ray Porter never disappoints. necroteks forever
what an ending can't wait for second book already

Interesting take on old idea

I was expecting more cosmic horror in this story but it's heavier on the sci-fi. I didn't like the end as all real military doctrine is thrown out for the last battle. I won't be buying further books in this series.

story line

the story line was great, not your average science fiction was book. The story is very plausible, I enjoyed the tech and the souls.

Holy fuck that start scared the shit outta me for a bit.

I was not nearly awake enough to start this novel. But it sure as shit ripped my sleep from me. Very happy it did, as the horror subsides, I am loving this. Very fun book. Probably best to start it in the day though.

Outstanding writing and character development makes this an amazing story!

Scientists meddling in things they shouldn’t starts this amazingly fast paced science fiction phenomenon! You’re going to connect to the amazing characters and stay rooted to the edge of your seat in this amazing thriller. I was even shouting out loud at points in the story.
Ray Porter is the KING OF NARRATION and presents this story in a way that honors its creativity while adding that something only Ray Porter can pull off!
