Story
When Van Tudor returns to his childhood home, he inherits more than the family farm. His grandfather used to tell him fantastic stories of spacemen and monsters, princesses and galactic knights. Little did Van realize, the old man's tales were more than fiction; they were real. Hidden beneath the old barn, Van’s legacy is waiting: a starship, not of this world. With his combat AI, an android bird named Perry, Van takes his first steps into the wider galaxy. He soon finds that space is far busier and more dangerous than he could have ever conceived.

Story
We were fighting on the wrong side of a war we couldn't win. And that was the good news. The Ruhar hit us on Columbus Day. There we were, innocently drifting along the cosmos on our little blue marble, like the native Americans in 1492. Over the horizon come ships of a technologically advanced, aggressive culture, and BAM! There go the good old days, when humans only got killed by each other. So, Columbus Day. It fits. When the morning sky twinkled again, this time with Kristang starships jumping in to hammer the Ruhar, we thought we were saved.

Mankind has lorded over the land of Illian for a thousand years, building on the ruins left by the elves, as if it were their birthright. A thousand years is a long time for an immortal race to see the truth of things, a truth that has remained unsaid for a millennium - elves are superior. They are faster, stronger, and connected to the magical realm in a way that man could never grasp. Illian should belong to them.

In the 20th century Earth sent probes, transmissions, and welcoming messages to the stars. Unfortunately, someone noticed. The Galactics arrived with their battle fleet in 2052. Rather than being exterminated under a barrage of hell-burners, Earth joined their vast Empire. Swearing allegiance to our distant alien overlords wasn't the only requirement for survival. We also had to have something of value to trade, something that neighboring planets would pay their hard-earned credits to buy. As most of the local worlds were too civilized to have a proper army, the only valuable service Earth could provide came in the form of soldiers....

Unexpectedly Brilliant
I'll admit to grabbing this book for three reasons, 1) the cover looked interesting (which made me look at it), 2) the synopsis sounded better than the average, and 3) I just really, really needed a good book.
Not the most promising of beginnings but Intrinsic delivered the unexpected. I was looking up Book 2 before i was half way through it. Again, great cover. The main character is likable enough, i spent the first half of the book wanting more info on him, then the second half realizing that more would have been too much. The story starts as one would expect: Aliens, Questions and a bit of "Why Me?" thrown in for a conversation starter, then goes from strength to strength after a rather earth shatteringly huge shock.
Honestly, if you are looking for something to sink your teeth into while you wait for the next Expeditionary Force novel or you just fancy reading something that doesn't orbit alien sex, drugs and more sex then this is a great choice. Plus, the cover art is pretty damn awesome.

Superman Narrator
This was a well written, entertaining, and fun book. George Newbern is great as a narrator. I loved Justice League and Superman back in the day, and at first I couldn't place his voice. I thought he may be that guy from Wings. Then it hit me, "That's Superman!"
His voice is great for capturing the "every man". Loved it.
Can't wait for the next book!

Solid sci-fi thriller
A bit of Matrix meets space opera. I have already purchased the second in the series. The galaxy is a big place, but not big enough. I enjoyed the story. It’s not 5 stars but a solid addition to the genre. I am starting the next book right now. Good job all around.

Why the high ratings?
There was a good story here but it was buried under tons of excess verbiage and regurgitated trope. The dialog and dynamics of the story were driven by the petulance of the characters who themselves were only slightly reimagined recreations of the main Star Wars characters.
Humankind seemed to have developed disturbingly little in the hundreds of thousands of years that the protagonist version of our species apparently were in existence.
I suppose that this was a good story for 10 to 15 year old kids, but I am way out of that demographic

cliche wish fulfillment wizards in space bullcrap
I've read this story before in so many versions, this version doesn't even bother being original in any unique way - humans were engineered by older human civilization, Ursula la guinn did it better. Hero is the chosen one, I mean avatar or whatever. No surprises or twists. when only female character is introduced you are immediately told she's the love interest in subtext. All characters are flater than my phone.

Fantastic series with phenomenal voice acting
I've just finished listening to the latest book in the series, Heretic. I can honestly say it's one of my favorite series in recent years. Great characters, both serious and funny, as well as those who are serious but can sucker punch you with humor when you least expect it. There were enough big questions to keep you listening to find out what mysteries await you, but not so many that it became a confusing mess.
George Newbern's narration is top notch and should be held as an example of what good narration needs. Too many narrators read to you like they are trying to read a math text book, dry and emotionless. They can make the voices distinct, sure, but without the emotion behind the words, it just falls flat. I just passed on 5 series while looking for my next book for that exact reason after listening to the sample. I like books of Intrinsic's length or longer and I won't sit through dry, painful narration for that long, no matter the story. Newbern has none of these issues. He reads to you like he's actually experienced the events, speeding up slightly when things get exciting, or calmly when it's appropriate. He reads like he's feeling the emotions in the scene and in turn, we feel it to. My heart races when the action is hot, or breaks when sad things happen. More than once throughout the series I was yelling at the speakers "No!, DON'T YOU DARE!!" as if the act could change what was coming, so invested did I feel because of how it was done. Even little things like the small breaths you hear are natural and what a real person would do if they were there, and you find yourself copying it. The story is amazing and well done, but the MVP of this series is Newbern. 10/10 will read his other work.

Apocalypse from Outer Space
I really enjoy the author's first 2 books of the Echos of Fate series, giving each of them solid 5 stars across the board; however, I found a lot I disliked in this book. While the story idea itself held promise, the two primary protagonists weren't written in a way to make them all that compelling. There really wasn't much backstory to them and there portrayal came off rather blandly. The primary protagonist too often lapsed into repeated introspection. There was a rogue protagonist near halfway through the story who came off somewhat interesting but even there his participation was somewhat sketchy and too stereotypical.
Then there were the frustrating transitioning between story arcs that left the listener somewhat bewildered until half a paragraph into it. There was also too much time spent on providing extreme detail on all the different environs that were visited which slowed the pace of the story.
Lastly, the narrator came as nonchalant, further making it difficult to want to keep listening.
I'll not be continuing with this series.

Fast paced sci-fi
Technically this is not a great piece of writing. The author breaks quite a few writing guidelines - for eg. telling rather than showing - and the character dialogue is so terrible in some parts it made me groan or roll my eyes. The first half of the story I disliked the main character - he was so thick. I get that he was used as a device to explain things to the reader, but we didn't need it spelled out for us so simply that made us think he is a dimwit. He did get better as the story went on, but then it was his love interest that frustrated me. For a soldier she acted extremely emotionally without thought for the greater picture of what they were trying to achieve. And Roland the stereotypical psychopathic soldier. Enough said about him. The three together reminded me of Han, Luke, and Leia. Not keen on the narrator, sometimes he changed voices for the same character in mid paragraph. But for all the story's flaws I followed it to the end which is more than I've done for some books. The plot keeps you engaged and I wanted to find out what happens next, or even if when I figured it out I wanted to find out how they would do it. The background story and universe is interesting, it has loads of potential for development, and there is LOTS of action. If you like your sci-fi in the style of Star Wars or Guardians of the Galaxy (without the humour) then you you'll probably find there is a lot to like about this book. I think it would likely make an ok movie. I won't be continuing the series, but I'm not sorry that I purchased this novel, it was worth my time.
