Publisher's summary

Created to defeat the invaders. Forgotten in victory. They will rise again …

We were outnumbered, outfought. Mankind was about to fall to the alien Flock. Our only chance was a desperate gamble, transforming Tier One SpecOps agents into deadly super soldiers.

In the end, we won the war, but we lost the peace. The Flock surrendered and spent the next two hundred years making reparations, indentured to humanity, doing everything humans did not want to do. And the evolved super soldiers were consigned to an endless sleep. Ready if ever needed, but in time they became myths. Abandoned and forgotten.

And then, when we were content in our dominance, the Flock revolted against all of humanity across the whole of the galaxy. We fell in a single day.

Which is when the dreams began. People across the settled worlds began dreaming of the Sleepers. The evolved saviors. Acts of rebellion and terrorism swept the galaxy, and in response the Flock ground us under heel.

Lexi Chow, descendant of a hero of the Flock War, believes the Sleepers are real, and are humanity’s only chance against the alien conquerors. With a crew of misfits, criminals, and believers, she sets out to wake the Sleepers. Hoping they will once more save us.

If the betrayed Sleepers are willing. If the Sleepers are even human.

If the Sleepers are on our side at all …

Alpha Wave by New York Times bestselling author Jonathan Maberry and master storyteller Weston Ochse launches a new, sprawling military science fiction adventure that will span the whole of a galaxy at war!

Ready for Book 2

As always, Ray Porter’s narration transports me to new worlds so effortlessly that I often find myself nearly out-of-body because I’m on some distant planet somewhere. Still, this is a story I’ll need to listen to a second time. (I’ll chalk it up to ‘user error’ that I’m still not clear about who “won” the last battle.)

Excellent Premise

I'll preface this by saying that I'm a big fan of Jonathan Mayberry. I enjoyed this book, but it suffered from what I perceive as poor editing. There were too many repeats of the context throughout the book. It spoiled the suspense and took me out of the story to hear the same info repeat over and over again.

If corrected in the next book, this will easily be a 5-star, fast paced, sci-fi story with heroes you can root for.

Solid Story Line

Good story and well told. I liked the way the author meshed in the history of the two races. There could have been a bit more action, but that's probably just me.

Great Military Sci-fi!

I liked the action and social commentary on humanity the authors incorporate. They put a fresh spin on the age-old trope of himan super soldiers. My only reservation had to do with pacing toward the end. Ray Porter's narration was superb...as usual. All in all, a fun and worthy first installment!
