The Stolen Future, Books 1-3

De: Joshua T. Calvert

Narrado por: Phil Thron

Contains all three books in The Stolen Future series.

The Signal

A mysterious signal. A start-up that wants to change the world. A future that no longer belongs to us.

When a stranger with a high-tech implant is found in the remote Finnish wilderness, neurosurgeon Bill and his computer scientist friend Steve see an opportunity. But they don't know what powers they're up against. They soon must ask themselves what moral boundaries they're willing to cross to succeed.

Ten years later, the world has changed. Airships roam the skies, strange plants grow in the forests, and entire swaths of land are deserted.

In the midst of this alien world, a father and daughter struggle to survive in the mountains of Montana and avoid being discovered by The Others. One thing is clear: humanity's future depends upon deciphering the mysterious signal.

The Signal 2

The world has changed. A killer is on the loose in the metaworld, and the still fragile resistance is in danger of crumbling.

The resistance is desperately battling the influence of the Forum and the implant carriers. As humanity spends more and more time in the artificially created metaworld, Steve Työpaikkaa stumbles upon a horrifying truth that shakes the foundations of the future.

Meanwhile, his daughter June embarks on a dangerous journey after the Resistance finds the source of a new signal. It must be destroyed if what is left of humanity is to survive, but success may require a price June cannot pay.

The Signal 3

June's mission was successful, but at what cost?

A year after destroying the wormhole generator in France, thus blocking the way to Earth for an allied AI, she lives with AcesAzrael in Switzerland. She fights alongside the last free humans against the approaching Forum and its unstoppable troops.

There is still no trace of Janika. When the Swiss make a dangerous plan shortly before their final defeat, there is only one hope for June and Ace: to find Janika and uncover the secret of a new, mysterious place in the metaworld.

The Black Fortress is a phenomenon you can find your way into but never out of. It is the only way out for the future of mankind, and at the same time, could be its downfall...

Bad choice for narrator, boring story

It is entirely possible that with a different narrator, this *MIGHT* have been a more interesting story. It feels drawn out anyway but I'll give the story 3 stars for the potential here.

Narrator choice was a catastrophic choice here. The two main protagonists? Young women/girls. Most of the main characters? Also young. Narrator choice? An older male whose voice is gravely and somewhat monotone. The first book was extremely difficult to get into. I forced my way through and semi got used to his voice, although never enough that I could get into the story.

Save your time and money and get a different book. Maybe if it is re-recorded by another narrator other than Thron might I suggest considering it.

not good

very dumb premise. and very boring. the ending was asinine. I have read thousands of SI-FI stories this was the worst

How boring it was

It sucked and I would make sure I never listen to anything by this author again
