Summary

A failed military training exercise. An alien incursion, desperate and on the hunt. Survival is just the beginning…'

Finn had thought he'd seen it all...but no...he had to admit...Not quite everything...There was a big universe out there and it was about to land in his lap.

Just how bad could it be?

Insubordinate and on the edge, Finn is a troubled war hero racked by guilt, overseen by an unyielding Commanding Officer while dragging his ragtag group of rookies through basic training. Suddenly caught up in a major global crisis, he joins with Gunner Zuri Zuberi, leading Delta Squad in a desperate struggle for survival when an alien incursion lands slap bang in the middle of their training session - killing indiscriminately and pitting inexperienced soldiers against the power of alien technology.

With the modern-day world panicking after the small alien force penetrates Earth's ineffective defenses, a second incursion drops into the atmosphere, revealing more of the enemy’s capabilities. As losses mount, the world’s armed forces find themselves helpless to act when the aliens reveal a weapon that could change modern warfare forever.

This new alien tech breeds greed and mistrust amongst opposing countries. The need to be the first to acquire it, escalating beyond political conflict as governments circle, missiles at the ready.

Finding themselves alone in the fight for Earth's future, Delta Squad discover the aliens are more than they seem, and that alien technology can be just as deadly in the hands of humanity when they unearth the Weapons of Choice.

Listen to Hostile Contact, an action-packed sci-fi survival novel – where ‘Predator’ meets ‘Full Metal Jacket’ in a pulse-pounding, non-stop thrill ride.

ummmm, what??

I am not a sci fi reader. But this book had me on the edge of my seat wanting more. It took me a little bit to get into it, but wow. The story is crazy and so different from what I am used to. The narration was good. The story and the characters were captivating. I cannot wait for more in this series.

Better than the book - here's why

I enjoyed the books - the first was good but the series really flies later on as you delve into the characters' backgrounds set against some gritty, powerful action and worlds that are distinct with their own troubled issues. However, the audiobook works so well, like a pilot for a tv series - the scene splits and cutbacks really making the story come alive when narrated. Josh Innerst does a fine job of distinguishing the characters-despite the diversity. This was my first audiobook using Amazon's 30 day trial and I thought starting with something I knew would be best and it certainly didn't disappoint, bringing a different dimension to the story. Ordering Return Protocol with my next credit, I just hope I can get some work done before I start it.

Great adaptation of Nick Snape's book

I'm always a sucker for army vs aliens and this entertaining and lively sci-fi story doesn't disappoint looking forward to the rest of the weapons of choice series on audio.

Awful imitated accents

Imitating various accents, Scots, American, English upper class, just does not work. A dreadful and irritating listen.
