Story
The Deliverance is low on fuel and stranded in the middle of a war zone. Tanik Gurhain claims to have relinquished his hold on the crew, and yet they’ve all mysteriously elected him as their rightful leader, anyway. Blake is back to his skeptical self, and alarm bells are going off in Darius’s head, but with no fuel and the Eye of Thanatos blocked by increasingly tight Cygnian patrols, it hardly matters who suspects Tanik of foul play. He has a captive audience for the next phase of his plan.

Story
Logan Willis’s life is falling apart: he lost his job and found out that his wife is cheating on him all in the same day. Thinking that his world has ended, Logan checks into a hotel and turns on the TV to see that he's not far wrong - radio telescopes have detected mysterious signals coming from inside our solar system, and the source is moving toward us at over 500 miles per second. The media concludes that these signals must be of an alien origin. Still reeling from the news, Logan gets a phone call from his brother-in-law.

Story
The United Nations of Earth sent out the Forerunner ships to explore and colonize the four most promising star systems within 50 light-years of Earth. Forerunner One left Earth under the command of Captain Clayton Cross, heading for Trappist-1. After a ninety year journey to reach it, the crew encountered not only a habitable world, but alien life already inhabiting it, and dark secrets lurking beneath the surface. The revelation of who these aliens are and what they want proves more terrifying than promising, and Captain Cross is forced to make tough decisions that will affect not only his crew, but the fate of the entire human race.

AD 2150: Chris Randall just lost his job as a bodyguard. That night, after picking up his wife, Bree, from her shift at a local casino, he breaks the bad news. Moments later, thunder cracks the sky, but there’s no lightning. Flaming debris rain across the valley, and a dark mass goes sailing out of the clouds, headed straight for LA. It’s not one of the Union’s starships, because they can’t defy gravity like that. But then, what is it? The answer chills both Chris and Bree to their cores: It’s an invasion.

One of them lands in the water just beyond the resort. On the news, the anchorman is fleeing from his hillside vantage point with his cameraman in hot pursuit.

Publisher's Summary
From the USA Today best-selling author of Dark Space.
They went to sleep on earth, but where did they wake up?
Darius Drake is desperate to save his daughter, Cassandra. So desperate he's willing to risk their lives in cryo-sleep to give her a future. But the dark, freezing vault where he wakes up is nothing like the luxurious Florida hospital he remembers. Everything about this place is alien to him, even the language. Little does he know how alien it really is.
Darius and his daughter go exploring their new surroundings with a few others from the cryo pods, and they soon discover frozen, mutilated bodies everywhere. The dead are wearing strange uniforms, and they seem to have used some kind of energy weapons to defend themselves, but it wasn't enough. Adding to the mystery, all the doors of the facility have been ripped open, and there are claw marks around them - but what could shred through reinforced metal like paper?
The answer to that question proves more terrifying than any of them could have guessed. There's a war raging, and they've woken up in the middle of it.
Broken Worlds: The Awakening takes you on a tense thrill ride through a frightening future with new mysteries and twists in every minute. Fans of Star Wars and Battlestar Galactica will love this new series: a dark, gritty space opera with unexpected twists, complex characters, and nightmarish antagonists.

Not worth my time.
Wooden characters, unbelievable storyline, nonsensical action sequences and a complete lack of knowledge regarding space flight and physics. The world building was very sketchy and the premise unconvincing.
I kept reading to the end, hoping it would improve as I have heard good things about the author, but it never got any better. I am not continuing this series.
I will give the author the benefit of the doubt and try a more recent book, hoping he has grown in his craft. If not, he's off my list of authors I want to read.

It helped pass my commute time
The awakening wasn't the best sci-fi story I have come across, but it was entertaining enough to keep me going. I have a fairly long commute to work each day and the story helped pass the drive time. I think part of my problem with the story was I had a hard time with the narrator. Something about the intonation of his reading didn't work for me. To be fair, he wasn't a bad narrator overall. I thought he did a fine job with his character voices and he had a clear voice. It just didn't work for me for a reasons I struggle to put my finger on. I ended up reading the end of the story and it was a bit better that way.

Not so good!
I don't think I really liked this book very much. The conversations were kind of dumb and the swear words were just stupid: fek, kakkers, and shit like that. I can't see me moving on with the rest of the series. But, mostly I hated when one of the main characters was killed off. I mean, the Deliverance, the spaceship they were on, and about 1000 people in cryo, were all frozen because they all had terminal diseases and were waiting for a cure to be found, for whatever was killing them, at least they thought they were on the ship for that reason. Then Gatticus, the android, cured them, only to be killed off. Yeah, that's not for me.
No sex and no swearing, except stupid words.
As for the narration: Jonathan Todd Ross mostly just read the book. He didn't have much when it came to emotions. AND I think he didn't have the right voice for this book.

Shocking trip what the future may be like!
This is amazing story that never has a moment of peace for the reader. The story near to our time but it jumps 1000 years for the 2 main characters Darius and his daughter Cassie were they wake not on earth but in a large space ship with other persons who were put in cryogenic to be woke up when a cure for their disease is found. They must learn to survive with people they do not know and also persons of people or creatures of other planets and an enemy who want to kill them for sport.
I can guarantee you want be able to set the book down

i liked the premise, orginal and interesting but with the use of nano bots and downloads the characters adapt to the future too quickly. the book becomes a carrier sci fi novel. not what i expected. if i had wanted a Battlestar Glactica type novel i would have purchased one.

Sleeper + Predator + 12 yr old girl
Okay, not a very accurate title but still...
First the props. Jasper T. Scott writing and choice of story plot are very good and Jonathan Todd Ross narrating performance is excellent. The story provided ample backstory for the primary protagonists and made them diverse in character and personality. There was lots of "discovery" taking place as all of the ship's cryo characters were clueless about their surroundings, whereabouts and civilization and the discovery process was written in an interesting way. And, there is a forgetful, yet intelligent, android.
Cons. I found the use of futuristic nannites for body disease healing & wound regeneration along with learning strips for quick teaching of future technologies and skills a bit too convenient but, as with other SciFi novels, not overly out-of-place. The loss of one of the initial 4 protagonists was a bit sudden and anti-climatic considering how they were initially written in a way to suggest a future role to play.
Still, I enjoyed to book and am already listening to Book 2 of the series.

Not Good
This, in my opinion, is quite a juvenile book with mediocre narration. Darius is not what springs to mind when you think of a hero. He is, at best, naive, but simplicity is not really endearing in a sci-fi hero-to-be and a liar even less.
I stuck it out to the end, but, for me, it was a wasted credit.
