Summary
It was just one fight, but it changed Kaiden Jericho's life forever.
He was in a gang but was trying to change his future, when a board member of the elite advanced academy NEXUS made a snap decision and offered him a chance.
Then fate, or an unbalanced genius, offered him another.
The Nexus Academy is for the elite trainees from Earth, and now trials from our alien allies, as they teach the future generation how to fight, lead, hack, spy, and many other talents and tactics.
Hired by companies, governments, and NGOs, these graduates work to pay off the massive debt their training at the academy accumulates.
You don't become the best of the best by staying alive. With the Animus, you are closer to perfection with each death you suffer.
Kaiden Jericho would rather skip the death part, thank you very much.
Includes special note from co-author Michael Anderle.

Neat sci-fi story
Texan in a sci-fi hillarius. Nice story, not the deepest but easy to follow and enjoy. Has a nice pace, by keeping the story spanning over only a week or so.

Narrated to perfection
Superb book. Superb narration (audible)
This book was such a great journey through all of our characters to the story plot itself. I loved the humour and sarcasm this story and narrator brought.
We follow our main character who’s been selected for a specialised role based on his history. He has a special gene which allows him to be selected for a particular role which his not entirely fussed about to begin with he just wants to shoot stuff.
His quite charming in the way his written he has empathy and is quite human in his mannerisms his not just some big shot who’s important and the world revolves around him it’s fairly obvious after a few chapters there’s alot of eyes on him and his somewhat of a experiment to the faculty.
I love how the book just kept this pace that increased from a walk to a jog to a relaxed run the book didn’t seem to have down time or low peaks everything played out very well within reason and didn’t rush anything or have time jumps it was linear but fun.
Massive thanks to our narrator Scott Aiello so many accents and mannerisms done so perfectly I hope his here to do every book in this series because you sold me on Kaidens journey and I want more

The world
I found the world in this book to be brilliant, the expansion that could come from this world will be brilliant to see. Can’t wait to see where the story goes to.

Bloody marvelous
Listened to the book while at work, had to continue once at home and then relisten that part again due to distractions.
Have had a smile on my face and chuckled throughout the whole experience and will be starting the next book straight away.

Loved it
I was pleasantly surprised by this book, the characters were good and the “hero” wasn’t a super being that had all the answers, the A.I was brilliant, it’s nice to find a book like this that concentrates on action and story rather than raunchy scenes to fill the pages.
