Resumen del Editor

Earth is not alone. There is a towering civilization out in the galaxy, far greater than anything we can imagine. But we are isolated from the galaxy...until now.

When a bunch of interstellar scavengers approach Earth intending to abduct a few dozen humans and sell them into slavery in the darkest, they make the mistake of picking on Steve Stuart and his friends, ex-military veterans all. Unprepared for humans who can actually fight, unaware of the true capabilities of their stolen starships, the scavengers rapidly lose control of the ship - and their lives.

To Steve the captured starship represents a great opportunity, one to establish a new civilization away from Earth and its increasingly oppressive bureaucracy. But with the aliens plotting their revenge and human factions suspicious of the new technology, it will be far from easy to create a whole new world....

Glad I listened but not interested in sequel

A fun listen if you are interested in a right-wing, libertarian utopia where only former military people know what is best, everybody needs to be armed and an NRA member, and rules are bad.

great storyline.

this story shines a light on how the world would look if our veterans were put in charge. not a bad world at all!

Good book

This book was entertaining and not boring. I look forward to the next book in the series.

A Great Book

Would you consider the audio edition of A Learning Experience, Book 1 to be better than the print version?

This was a great book and the author knows his subject, well written. A good read.

Their characters has a strange views

What was one of the most memorable moments of A Learning Experience, Book 1?

How his characters have no idea what environmental conservatives are about.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

none yet

Any additional comments?

it is a very strange vision of the future.

good start

reminded me of a right wing version of the ALICE books.
Character were will developed and likeable. The technology progression was logical.

Trying so hard to finish

well the whole idea of the story was awesome and I couldn't wait to dig in, then it became very clear very fast that Nuttell was instead of writing a great sci fi novel, he was writing his anti establishment, anti American,anti everything manifesto disguised in a sci-fi story. It just got worst and worst to the point that I could almost picture him just writing away with a pissed off look on his face & it completely took away from what could have been a really fun story. Also, the repetitive he said,she said,Steve said,she said,Steve said... geeze. I'm really dissapointed, I was really looking forward to this story. Do yourself a favor & skip to last chapter & the prologue literally sums up the book without Nuttall's personal gripes,hate & reasons why he lives on an island far from Western ideology. Overall I'm very dissapointed.

Red neck Sy-Fy that fail

I normally enjoy Mr. Nuttlall works. This book Falls very short of his normal offerings. The characters are awfully one-dimensional. Not even Mr. Rummel's narration can save this very weak story with very predictable plot twist.

A interesting new series from a veteran scifi author

I very much enjoyed this intro book to a new series from Mr. Nuttall. It started a little slow and wasn't as mature as some of his previous works but it has the potential to be his best.

I very much look forward to the next in the series!

Fun popcorn for individualists

This is not literature for the ages, but it is fun listening for those that still believe in self-determination or are just sick and tired of the current politically correct environment. If you are now thinking "what politically correct environment" then this book is probably not for you.
