An Ancient Enemy

A Destiny's Crucible Novella

By: Olan Thorensen

Narrated by: Jonathan Davis

When an alien spacecraft accidentally destroys United Flight 4382, 27 passengers and crew are saved...but life as they knew it ceases to exist.

Five survivors find themselves on the planet Anyar, including Joseph Colsco, Mark Caldwell, and Heather Chen. Some others have different destinations.

Cast away on a planet with bizarre physical features unlike anything on Earth, Dan and Liza Oglethorpe will never again set foot on Earth. They will never again talk with family and friends. They will never again see an ocean. They are thrust into a fantastical fate that eventually leads them, six years later, after dangers are overcome and a measure of peace is achieved, to a morning in a dry valley on an alien planet...and the uncertainty of living through a battle to see evening.

needed more understanding

overall it is a good listen. I found it lacking a in the ending. Needed better back story.

Why?

Well written, compelling potential characters... but what was the point? The lack of depth and detail does nothing for the story line, doesn't establish a new story line, doesn't close loose ends... so it was a short story about a short battle, where the new people, knew better...
ok

Would have liked it to be longer

I would have liked it to be longer. Overall was a good look at other transplants.

DO. NOT USE A CREDIT

I accidentally spend a credit on this 3 dollar book and was unable to return it (right after I used the credit!) the story is good. But 100% not worth 11.50.

Good start for a sub plot

Different survivors of the plane disaster on a different planet. A short introduction novela for what hopefully will be a series of books on these characters. Interesting twist at the end sets things up nicely.
