Resumen del Editor
Lux Blakely, the preteen son of a NASA scientist working on top-secret government projects, is not shackled by accepted scientific theory and dogma.
His experiments in gravimetric research and the expanding capability of a nascent AI cause Lux to be closely observed by several government agencies. He discovers a way to use magnetic fields for propulsion, but he needs money. Lux and his friend, Prissy, come up with a way to use his father's developing AI to raise money through social media. Lux is trying to get out of high school and into college at age nine. Lux and Prissy take deepfake videos to a whole new level and make a lot of money doing it. The US military and intelligence community is not amused.

Historia
Lee had expertise in different sciences and 24th-century tech due to learning machines that could transfer an expert's knowledge. He had the latest high-tech weapons. He had acquired the latest protective equipment. He was sixteen and got his great-grandfather's A.I., Anna, to find him a planet that had magic. His A.I. hacked a portal to take him there. He might have bitten off more than he could chew.

When Edgar Vagrant down checks Verkol Kondur’s mining barge, Kondur gets swept up in station politics in spite of his best efforts to avoid them. When Edgar pushes his elder son, Malachai, into working on the station’s freighter, Malachai decides to take matters into his own hands.

Historia
Dirriken Friedel used his aristocratic connections to rescue his troops. He didn't plan on starting a war or killing them himself. Now he spends his days in jail, waiting for an assassin sent by his dead officers families to end his misery. When he's broken out by off-duty marines he has a chance to start over, if he's worthy. During his ramshackle escape he collects a broken-down trading ship, a bitter former army officer, a genetically altered religious fanatic, a runaway ingenue, a sham engineer, and a murderous femme fatale.

Historia
He is the last to wake. The label on his sleeper pad identifies him as an admiral of the Evagardian Empire - a surprise as much to him as to the three recent recruits now under his command. He wears no uniform, and he is ignorant of military protocol, but the ship's records confirm he is their superior officer. Whether he is an Evagardian admiral or a spy will be of little consequence if the crew members all end up dead.

Historia
Sergeant Harry Kabutt has seen better days. He's been shot down, blown up, and tossed to the wayside by the corporations, left to rot in a ratty apartment in gang territory. His own limbs? Shredded, cut away, and left to rot on a mountainside. The replacement mods? Likely to fall apart or leave him to die of sepsis. No longer an operator of the feared APS mecha, Kabutt has hit rock bottom. But he's on foot, he's armed, and he's in serious pain…now it's time to take that pain and spread it around the mega-city of Artem. See who flinches first.

Historia
Three decades ago, a colossal Empire unleashed its wrath upon a single world—Earth. Their intent was complete annihilation. However, when the dust cleared, the people of Earth were instead scattered to the stars, their home now a frozen waste at the center of a fortress system that none dared approach. Now, Earth's survivors are spread far and wide. Most lost to the stars, but some remained close to their enemy, waiting for a chance to finish the war on their own terms. For the Empire, the sins of the past are converging. The seeds are sown... and Harvest is coming.

Hard to say when the human species fractured exactly. Harder to say when this new talent arrived. But Lion Zorn, protagonist of Last Tango, is the first of his kind—an empathy tracker, an emotional soothsayer, with a felt sense for the future of the we. In simpler terms, he can spot cultural shifts and trends before they happen. The Devil's Dictionary finds Lion Zorn enmeshed with a strange subculture: polyamorous crypto-currency fiends with a tendency toward eco-terrorism. These crypto-eco-punks have executed the largest land grab in US history.

Sixty-five million years ago, a disastrous cataclysm eliminated three quarters of all life on Earth. Overnight, the age of dinosaurs ended. The age of mammals had begun. But what if history had happened differently? What if the reptiles had survived to evolve into intelligent life? In West of Eden, best-selling author Harry Harrison has created a rich, dramatic saga of a world where the descendants of the dinosaurs struggled with a clan of humans in a battle for survival.

It begins with a reality TV show. Twelve contestants are sent into the woods to face challenges that will test the limits of their endurance. While they are out there, something terrible happens—but how widespread is the destruction, and has it occurred naturally or is it man-made? Cut off from society, the contestants know nothing of it. When one of them—a young woman the show’s producers call Zoo—stumbles across the devastation, she can imagine only that it is part of the game.

The classic style with the new tech
I thoroughly enjoyed Lux. I actually bought the book a few months ago, but couldn't get into it because it was going slow. when the audiobook came out I jumped on it. Not only was I pleasantly surprised, but I thoroughly enjoyed both the story and the narrator. I hope more of these books come out as quickly as they could. The series is actually further along if you care to read it on Kindle. Not that I won't buy audiobook when it comes out eventually, lol.

Loved the book, and bought the Audible version
Thought this series was great and I was pleasantly surprised to be able to get an Audible version in addition. I thought Mr Holden did a good job with the voices… with such a range in ages and genders. Looking forward to getting book 2 when I get my Audible credit this month. My wife doesn’t read Sci-fi but is enjoying this version. Thanks!

well thought out!
loved the world building and the jumo into the design of the magnetic camera and helical drive. without losing the story line and weaving in a little romance in. I really enjoyed the bits of government agencies trying to figure out what's going on.

Enjoyable SF series!
If Lawrence Dahners' Ell Donsaii series and John Ringo's Troy Rising series had a child, this would be it, lol. The author obviously likes a few other series I like, too, based on what titles get name-dropped in the prose.
The characters are interesting and are all easily identifiable. I love "rising power/status quo disturber" type stories and this fit the bill pretty well. I did find it weird that the protag seemed to be as emotionally mature as he was intelligent, but not enough to break my enjoyment in the listen.
The narrator did a great job. He made all the characters distinct and had a measured rhythm and pace that he maintained throughout the novel. In fact, I've listened to all the available novels in this series on Audible and he was great throughout all of them. I might look him up to see if he did other novels.
Over the years, I've developed something of a critical ear for political leanings in other people's writings, and I was very entertained while noting which names and brand names got dropped, during the story, and which ones did not. Some of his views are fairly obvious, but I'll let the listener decide for themselves where the author is at on the political spectrum. I don't think anyone should fear that politics will ruin the story for anyone...the author is fairly careful to avoid outright declarations.
Enjoy this novel, and the sequels. :)

Great for young people
This book is packed full of awesome science and physics. I think it would be great for a youth- teen boy. Pretty clean and has a good story going on. I was disappointed that the father went from being totally supportive of Lux to acting like a total wanker about the work he was doing. He didn't believe Lux, even though Lux is a freaking genius. That was incredibly disappointing.

Yay! Lux is on Audio!
I really like the child genius genre and the Lux stories in particular. I tend to let my attention slide when I am reading the hard science, so the audio version forces me to listen to every word and suss out what is being described. Great distraction on daily walks.
