About this listen

They stole his identity. Now they want him dead.

Shadow Recon pilot Micah Case has flown into enemy space countless times. But when his spacecraft disintegrates around him above an alien world, Micah awakens with no memory of his past and a mysterious voice inside his head. His genetic code contains the power to destroy all life.

Hunted by his own military for reasons yet unclear, Micah embarks on a desperate journey to find the unknown voice. What he discovers sends him racing against the clock to stop an Akkadian assassin. If he fails, it's not the end of the world. It's the end of humanity.

Includes bonus story The Chiral Conspiracy.

I've always held that James Marsters was just that - the best vocal performer in the world of audiobooks. But, I believe Tom Taylorson is at keast his equal! I found myself, at times, having to stop and remind myself that it was just one person voicing each character, so masterful was his command! And what a voice! I could listen to him all day, and did, indeed!

This Biogenesis War trilogy, beginning here with Chiral Agent, continuing with. Chiral Protocol and concluding with Chiral Justice, was refreshing in that LL Richman put her years of experience working in radiation physics, as a director of film and video, a pilot and avid photographer, and as a woman and wove a beautifully observed, and presented story. Her prose is captivating g and her characters are well-rounded, particularly, thank god, the women.
I was beginning to despair of capable, competent, sexuallly confident women who are ultimately dislikeable across both Sci fi and fantasy, a majority create y male writers unfortunately.

So, I'm now a big fan of both Taylorson and Richman, and recommend them both!

Satisfying on many levels

really good series only spoiled by mediocre control over the English language. Writing skill level akin to a reasonably skilled school pupil... but the story and pace help to rescue.
I enjoyed listening but it's tough to get through after you have listened to a great author

good story.. only ok writing

There was just too much intrigue cloak and dagger also too much tech. For this and me you need the big screen to keep up with. Not enough action. Will not be listening to any more

Difficult

Would have made a good short story or functional outline of a book.

Readers of hard sci fi are greedy. They want to have the science served up to them in compelling & entertaining ways. They also want great characters who will develop in expected and unexpected ways.

This book has some of the science, a reasonable concept, some promising action and little else.

You don’t get a feeling of individual characters who are well defined, or you can differentiate between, they don’t develop and you remain indifferent to their fate throughout the story from beginning to the end.

Good narrator, though.

Had/has Promise.

Got quite boring after 10 minutes. I listen throught book one, but stopped at two.

Combating of crime and scifi that does not functio
