E-Day III: Dark Moon

De: Nicholas Sansbury Smith

Narrado por: R.C. Bray

The final battle for humanity is about to begin...

On the moon, Ronin Hayashi trains to protect the colonies from the inevitable invasion of the machines. While he prepares to stand his ground, Sergeant Tadhg Walsh is planning an escape mission to deliver a weapon to the resistance on Earth.

At Neptune Station, Captain Akira Hayashi and Shadow Squad have returned from a deadly journey into enemy territory, where they learn the machines are building an army at an astonishing rate. After continued attempts to contact the Lunar Defense Corps for help, Shadow Squad accepts the hard truth—the LDC isn’t coming.

With hope for salvation dwindling, Akira deploys on a desperate mission to find Apeiron, believing only she can stop Doctor Otto Cross from completing his reset of Earth. But Akira soon realizes they need more than just Apeiron. Shadow Squad must somehow reunite with Tadhg and the weapon he carries. Only then can Akira lead the charge against the machines in one last fight for the future of humanity.

This one was a little hard to follow.

Enjoyed the first 2. This one was difficult to get into fully and seemed To be bit more disjointed. Worth it if you have a free credit.

So much story packed in from start to finish

Knowing that this was the last book in the series (I think), I knew this had to wrap things up. I honestly thought that it couldn’t possibly do the story justice in just ~13 hours. Boy was I wrong.

The pacing of this book, and how it transitions from character to character is really well done. Most characters get their time in the spotlight and I was left feeling really satisfied.

There is a bit of a deus ex machina that was only slightly disappointing. However, it gave the characters more time to have their moment.

I found that I didn’t want the book to be over. I purposely dragged it out over weeks. I love this story and the universe NSS has created. I so desperately want to see more.

There’s more to be said but… spoilers…

Lastly, to the incredible RC Bray: there aren’t words in the English language to express how wonderful the life you give these characters is. Of course the source material is wonderful, but you bring it to life! <chef kiss>

Amazing story. Could not stop listening.

Amazing story. Could not stop listening. From book one to book 3 the story is one that I would love to see in a movie if it is well done.

Straight up fight from beginning to end

Love RC Bray as the narrator. The story was pretty predictable but still engaging. The use of military ranks and structure was weak.

passion for the art of storytelling

Man I'm not like a lot of critics. I know that there are some bad books out there but I always appreciate the fact that someone took the time to write it. FORTUNATELY for me, THIS SERIES is awesome, TOTALLY AWESOME!!!

Great!!!

A fine ending to this series. Leaves room for more stories 😊 Fast paced and I had to rewind a couple times to catch up. My favorite author and favorite narrator. Can't lose with this duo. Thank you for another audible ride!

The characters were well written, with substance that builds into a following by the reader. The three books is not enough.

Why End this amazing story with just 3? We need more of this great adventure.

Very enjoyable conclusion

I really enjoyed this series. This last book didn't disappoint. Obviously the narration was top notch given it was R. C. Bray. But the author was new to me and I will look out for their other books in the future.

Excellent performance by R. C. Bray - E-DAY III

I have just closed the chapter to an epic adventure filled with good friends and heroes of admirable character. The horror faced by civilization is one that could happen if people choose to ignore their importance to each other and to themselves. You don't need an alien invasion or an AI threat to destroy a world. It only takes a madman with an idea driven by the lust for power and the arrogance to pursue personal accomplishments at the expense of others. As with most sci-fi books or series as is the case with E-DAY, at the heart are those who sacrifice themselves for others. This is a wonderful series with that never lags. Author Nicholas Sandburg Smith is a wonderful writer and storyteller. I've enjoyed every world he's taken my mind. I also highly recommend the Audible performance by one of the best in the business, R. C. Bray.

This trilogy is amazing!

TOGETHER WE FIGHT!

This final book in the E-Day series is so well-written by Nicholas Sansbury Smith and so well-performed by RC Bray that I feel almost blessed that this came to fruition.

This entire series is filled with futuristic, physically-enhanced warriors who fight for their side with speed and deadly skill. Augmented animals fight by their side,

The story is steeped in Japanese Samari culture. Warriors fight with honor and deep-seeded desire to serve and save.

Amazing animals and loyal pets (all augmented) bring a unique sense of wonder to complicated and dangerous circumstances.

Characters come and go throughout the war, circling through each other's lives in touching ways. The presentation of characters you quickly come to love or hate is realistic and a key part in keeping the story fresh and moving.

I hate how I have to dance around so many aspects of this story, but there are way too many plot spoilers, and I don't want to ruin the amazing ride that is E-Day!

I recommend this book and series to any sci fi fan and anyone else testing the waters. You won't be disappointed!!
