Savage Homecoming

De: Joshua Dalzelle

Narrado por: Paul Heitsch

Ever since he joined Omega Force, Captain Jason Burke has lived with the underlying fear that one day Earth would be discovered. His desire to keep Earth's existence and location a secret has driven him to extremes, and kept him far away from his homeworld for a long time. But now Jason's greatest fear is realized, and a fleet of alien ships has attacked his planet. Omega Force rushes to Earth's defense, but the ships are like none they've ever encountered, and employ weapons they have no defense for. Will their lone gunship be able to slug it out with the unknown fleet holding the planet hostage? Or will this be a one-way trip for the crew of the Phoenix?

enjoyable listen

Enjoyed this installment in the series. Plan to continue and complete the series. Interesting storyline. Good character development.

Well done - a very fun adventure thus far.

What made the experience of listening to Savage Homecoming the most enjoyable?

Hearing the dialogue between all the characters. Dry humor - reminds me of how I talk to my friends.

What other book might you compare Savage Homecoming to and why?

The Riyria Chronicles series, Author: Michael J. Sullivan - the banter and character interactions are just as entertaining.

Have you listened to any of Paul Heitsch’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Paul seems to be hitting his stride with the characterizations - they come alive.

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

Not really, but the story does 'move' along quite nicely. Paced very well with no slow spots.

Any additional comments?

Another commenter mentioned how they thought the 'relationship' portion of the story was a distraction. It's not - I actually found myself thinking that it was nice to see, since things like that are often ignored or glossed over in stories like this. It was done very well and actually added to the plot dynamics. I've really grown fond of this story and this 3rd book does a great job of setting the stage for the next phase of this series. Well done - a very fun adventure thus far. I just bought the next book.

Another excellent story by a great author. Be careful if you start listening as you may not be able to stop.

At the end of this book the author has an epilogue of the next book. I would think that it would be book 4, but there is no book 4 in this series. None of the subsequent write ups refer to this epilogue, so what happened to this next book in the series? I plan to listen to the rest of this series so maybe I will yet find an answer.

Savage home coming

Amazing!!!!!!
Great story well read, the descriptions are so precise.
on to the fourth book and the next adventure.

More Great Fun From The Phoenix

Excellent continuation of the series with a mysterious Epilogue at the end. Time to continue!

Good performance

Adding a new female character was unnecessary and an irritant. Good story otherwise and fantastic performance.

The stories are incredible

Just when I think I know what's next, yhe author adds some nuisances I didn't expect. The books are so very enjoyable.

Bummer!

I did not like this book! Jason, the leader, often throws temper tantrums, acts like a dictator to his crew, fails to listen to their advice, almost gets everyone killed, and to top it off, the book becomes a romance novel!

Top Notch

What do you do when you're accidentally kidnapped from planet earth in a spaceship? Escape your captor, rescue people in trouble, and kick some ass along the way?

Yes, please!

This is one of my favorite science fiction series of all time. It's fun, witty, ridiculous, and the characters are absolutely fantastic.
Paul Heitsch delivers time and again in each book of this series. He is able to impart a distinct characteristic and tone of voice for each of the many different types of characters and peoples.
I sincerely hope to see many more books in this series for years to come.
**Full disclosure: I received a review copy of this book.**

Getting better

Needs to remove anything sappy related to the relationship with Taran. Otherwise it is good story that is well narrated. Im into this series pretty well and hope he sticks to the whole space opera/pirate renegade/privateer track.
