Summary

Contains books 1-3 of The Forgotten.

Forgotten, book 1 

Sheriff Hayden Duke was born on the Pilgrim, and he expects to die on the Pilgrim, like his father, and his father before him. That's the way things are on a generation starship centuries from home. He's never questioned it. Never thought about it. And why bother? Access points to the ship's controls are sealed, the systems that guide her automated and out of reach. It isn't perfect, but he has all he needs to be content. 

Until a malfunction forces his engineer wife to the edge of the habitable zone to inspect the damage. Until she contacts him, breathless and terrified, to tell him she found a body, and it doesn't belong to anyone on board. Until he arrives at the scene and discovers both his wife and the body are gone. The only clue? A bloody handprint beneath a hatch that hasn't opened in hundreds of years. Until now. 

Forsaken, book 2 

Sheriff Hayden Duke expects to die any second. He's already been attacked by demonic aliens, rogue soldiers, and even the people he thought were his friends. 

They took his wife. He has to find her. He has to survive. Another second. Another breath. He can never give up. He can never rest until she's back in his arms. They'll try to stop him, but it won't be as easy as they think. A new hope is rising in an old world. 

Unforgiven, book 3 

Sheriff Hayden Duke has got a long way to go before he can rest. How can he when the entire world is under siege by demonic aliens and a brutal thug who calls himself King? 

It's an unknown and powerful threat that may be responsible for the end of humankind. The road may be long. The odds may be bad. The stakes may be high. But you can’t keep a good Sheriff down.

A great beginning to an extended series

What a tour de force!!? We have here a lone hero struggling to recover his wife after her kidnapping, only to find that there is a whole lot more to the issue that needs to be addressed if a decent life is to be had afterwards. There is much action, and the story romps along at a very good pace. It's well worth the listen, and this is just the introduction to a longer series that continues in the Forgotten Earth series. I found that I couldn't put it down. I'll be getting the following series as there is much to do to make matters right at the end of the trilogy. The only downsides, to my mind, were the occasional expletive, and the high body count of the hero's accomplices, some who leave you saddened as they deserved a better chance in a disfunctional world. I do commend the recording company's decision to issue this trilogy under a single cover - I find it a very attractive offer. (NB: I noticed that the author puts Proxima Centauri over 7 lightyears from Earth, when it is 4.3 ly away.)

Jonathan Davis's voice and acting/reading style suit these action-thriller stories. I first met him presenting some of the Star Wars books, and also the Destiny's Crucible series. As with these, so with this trilogy, Davis seems to get into the story, and it comes out the better for it.

Oh it is bad - bit of a spoiler alert in my review

I always get puzzled by high ratings when my experience is basically the opposite. First the caveat, I have only just finished book 1, BUT THAT WAS A STRUGGLE :-) If you listen to the example you will understand my caps. I guess it was the way the story is written, but the narrator just spends his time shouting and Oh My Word, I wish Natalie had died in chapter 1 so we had a different interpretation. Then the story slowly morphs into Doom, but the twist is there are 2 adversaries- clever. So we basically have John Mc Clane making his way through the Doom slowly getting all his allies killed, plus the enemy of course. Then all of the sudden we get an oasis of a story!! And that bit got me interested, before and after that, it is just running and shooting. And if you have seen Doom, you know how boring that is, great game lousy to watch. And yes, I will listen to the next book, after all it's included in the package. ..... still trying to finish them after a month! Have got five more books so that won’t happen soon. It didn't happen, I put the trio of books down and did not continue.

So slow..........

Serenity meets Aliens meets Lost in Space, only listening to get value for my money. Don't know if I'll reach the third book, still on the first. A lot of Us and them, Lost anyone? Add to this The Land of Giants (1970s)

Entertaining & new

I really didn’t expect much from this 3 book set but the story is different & adds it’s own flair, I wouldn’t say on the edge of your seat but the story certainly has you guessing and trying to put the pieces together. I will be buying the next book in the series as it’s hard to find books with calibre of storyline.
👍

Surprising mix of genres

A few plot elements that I found a bit weak but over all quite enjoyable with some interesting plot twists
