Acerca de esta escucha
Earth’s surface is no longer ours. Humans thought they were safe underground where the invading Arthropods couldn’t reach them. After centuries of occupation, the antiquated subterranean cities have deteriorated and they have exhausted their supplies. Making matters worse, the hostile invaders have destroyed one of the ten remaining cities.
Now Huck, Ariadne, and Hemant are in a race to destroy the Arthropod Hive before the “inverts” completely annihilate humanity. But before the candidates can begin, they must survive their corrupt government’s population control scheme—a highly-fatal, barbaric event known as RELEASE DAY.
To accomplish their mission, they must enlist the help of a group of dubious transporters to trek across the planet through numerous biomes, infinite swarms of Arthropods, and deranged surface-dwelling humans on their perilous mission to recover a war-ending device and carry it to the creatures’ hive.

Pn Earth, the survivors of an alien insects invasion live in underground cities located in various locations. Each year, a group of young adults are sent from one city to other for training while dealing with the invaders.
while the plot line and story was interesting
I could fully embrace the book due to the narration issues. The narrator seemed to just read the works. Very little was done to differentiate the characters. often, I wasn't sure which character was speaking.
I don't think I will continue with the series
A good story, but needs better narration

🔹 Recommended for fans of: The Hunger Games, Starship Troopers, Silo, and dystopian survival stories.
Release Day treads well-worn dystopian ground, drawing heavy inspiration from The Hunger Games, Starship Troopers, and Silo. The premise is intriguing—humanity, driven underground after an Arthropod invasion, faces dwindling resources and internal corruption. Our protagonists, Huck, Ariadne, and Hemant, must navigate government-imposed death trials and a perilous journey across a hostile Earth to destroy the enemy hive.
While the book delivers on action and tension, it falls short in character depth. The leads feel interchangeable with those from any other post-apocalyptic series, lacking unique voices or compelling development. That said, if you're looking for an entertaining dystopian read with giant insect warfare to pass a weekend, Release Day fits the bill.
The biggest drawback, however, is the audiobook narration. While GM Hakim maintains a steady cadence and tone, character differentiation is lacking—male and female voices blend together, making it difficult to track perspective shifts. Even with chapter labels indicating the viewpoint character, I often found myself guessing whose head I was in. This significantly hurt the overall experience.
Would I continue the series? Probably not. But if you enjoy fast-paced dystopian action and don't mind some rough edges, Release Day might be worth a shot.

There are a lot of real life issues interwoven in this dystopian story that makes the story really come to life. I enjoyed reading the book from multiple points of view. This book is unique to me because in my opinion there are not many books like this, it took risks and it paid off. If you love survival stories where the underdog is fighting against corruption then this story is for you.
A great book
