Endeavor

Since we first looked at the stars, there has been a silence, no signs of alien life, and no one who has tried to speak to us. It is an enigma that a long-dead scientist called the Fermi Paradox.

"Where are they?" A brave crew will take humanity's first starship, Endeavour, on an epic journey that spans light years and centuries to solve this mystery. As Commander Tom Hites and his crew searches amid long-abandoned worlds and ancient relics, the question they seek to answer becomes: "Where are they now?"

Erebus

The sparsely populated moon Io is destroyed in a terrorist attack. Hundreds are dead in the cataclysmic explosion. Thousands become refugees as the shattered remnants of the moon threaten the Jupiter Alliance. Billions throughout the solar system are wondering, "Where next?"

Those responsible must be found and brought to justice. The explorer ship Erebus is reassigned from its mission and sent to Jupiter to investigate this atrocity with Trent's international team onboard. And what Trent discovers among the relics of the alien Sleeping Gods will change humanity's place in the universe forever.

I loved first two books even though the story is not directly linked. Great story and great narration. They introduced unique universe and built expectations. However the third book doesn't match the set. Its like it was added by mistake. That was a major letdown. For me the story feels unfinished.

Book 1 9/10
Book 2 9/10
Book 3 4/10

Its a weird set

The first book was great with the scientific exploration and Michael Kramer reading. There were some spots that it was odd but overall a good book. The second book didn’t seem to have any more than a passing mention of the first book, had no real science and the reader wasn’t nearly as good. The third book was just thrown in and wasn’t very good at all, although that might have been because I spent the whole time trying to figure out how it tied in to the other books. Overall I will give it three stars because the story and performance from the first book carried the load.

As a set, it was so so

You have to be creative to come up with such different words. And a mystery? Perfect

Best world building

Really enjoyed the books of the sleeping gods trilogy. That was interesting switched over to the bonus book. It completely threw me off and discussed me with the writer of that book.

Horrible choice for a bonus book

The first two books in this box set are set in the same universe but feel very different. I like them both. The first is a very solid Sci-Fi story which drops clues for the next. The second is almost like a murder mystery in the beginning.

Endeavor, the first book, is of exploration sprinkled throughout with different narratives from multiple perspectives, some very distinctive, that tell an overall story. Even though it doesn't answer everything by the end it definitely feels like a complete book. I enjoyed hearing about all the various discoveries.

Erebus, the second book, pinch zooms at a period of time referenced in the first book. You learn more about some of the places referenced before and see some discoveries not mentioned in the first. There was a building sense of menace through the whole book. Some of the ideas in the first book are central to how that menace will be averted. I didn't feel the ending left me satisfied however.

The bonus content book feels like it's written by a completely different author. It's a pretty good example of a space opera, which is not my favorite genre. Though it starts slow, the author grips you very well by the middle. I thought it explored the loss of comrades and the cost of war very well.

Gripping Even Though It Is Long

Expansive scientific perspectives of the first two stories makes them worthwhile, following popular science fiction themes. The second story strings the reader along for most of it by omitting facts that really weren't worth the frustration to hold back, then it ends with massive cliff hangers that never are resolved.

The third felt like a big waste of time and the narration was weirdly misplaced, even though I like this narrator's other work.

Why call the stories a set when they're basically unrelated though. That is annoying.

A Decent Read for Most of It.

As others have mentioned, it was a great surprise to find an author I have not attempted before to have such a great entertaining story... The second book was also fun, perhaps just not as novel. The third book is only for those if you who like military scifi... Quite tiring otherwise

Only for the first two stories

Apparently, the story takes place in the future; however, why do the characters sound like they're from 1800s England? I don't know. I'm going to keep trying. I'm only a couple of hours in - I will update when I'm done.

UPDATE: I tried, and I just can not take it. Every character sounds ridiculous. People just do not talk like this - it's distracting. it's hard to listen to, and it's actually getting me a little bit angry. It's a shame because I kind of like the story. I mean, it's hard scifi, and at times, my mind wanders off, but for the most part, it's a good story. It would be much better if the characters sounded realistic, like actual people and not cartoons. Unfortunately, I might have to return this.

um... I'm confused

Though it's slow and seeming boring at first. The two books at the beginning grows on you though there is much depth to them. After that it goes downhill and a bit confusing. Maybe they should have been separate books about the same universe or something a kin to it. Not a bad read though.

It's too random

Endeavor was great! Excellent story and well read.

Erebus, not so much. Couldn’t finish it. Story was boring and the reader is just awful.

Highly recommend Endeavor
Skip Erebus
