Publisher's summary

The mysterious species called Flickers are thought to have a base in the outer solar system. A task force is sent to find out.

Living in the Kuiper Zone, the Flicker want nothing more than to be left alone. But the solar system belongs to humans.

Can the two coexist? Or will history repeat and contact lead to war, as has so often happened in humanity's past?

Against a species far more advanced than the beings they call Terrans?

I like the premise.

I just couldn't get very involved with the story. I'm not sure what it was, perhaps not as much action as I'm accustomed to. I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Great series

I liked this and previous books but I think I have found true hatred for chuck's cheating wife. I think I have this feeling due to how well the author developed his characters. as well as the story line of both characters. as chuck is sacrificing his life and doing all he can she steps out on their marriage. it is a very common thing for females to do and I hate reading about it. other than that I am midway through the book and so far I love the authors creativity.

Brilliant, very entertaining

BEMs: Bug Eyed Monsters: Book Four, the New Frontiers Series. A Great read/listen, A scifi thriller that is really very entertaining. No graphic violence and virtually no bad language.
Narration is first rate, and Tom Lennon's voice is clear and very easy to listen too. Looking forward to the next in the series.

Outside my normal genre

This is my first book by Jack L Knapp that I have listened to. I was pulled into it by the excellent narration. Typically I listen to romance or mystery books, so this is way different for me. The imagery in this book was great! Although this is part of a series, it was very easy for me to follow along. Tom Lennon did an incredible performance with this book and the various characters. He adds the right emotions and suspense to the story.

Flickers and BEMs

Each additional entry in the New Frontiers Series improves on the prior ones. The relationship with the Flicker society and the confrontation with the BEMs moves the series more into the science fiction category than just the near future action/adventure of the previous installments. Tom Lennon gives his usual strong but not overstated narration.

Now we are talking !!!

Jack L. Knapp the author of this series have started slow but in this book his imagination and creation bloomed beautifully with an ancient alien race, with an interesting philosophy way of living which is still not completely understood and another new alien war like race which leads to a space war which ends victorious for the humans but then the twist arrives and a good one.

Tom Lemnon narration of each character is done beautifully as usually without missing a beat !

The Best of the Series

My only real complaint with this series is at times it moved at a snails pace. Jack Knapp gets an A+ on detail and science, but at best a D on brevity.

Not in this one. There is finally enough excitement to make the book hard to put down. Real real honest to God space battle scene!

Truly fascinating alien culture, the Flickers, that are so well fleshed out they really do feel real. BTW, they are not the Bug Eyed Monsters, their alien enemies are which makes the title a little deceiving.

Same narrator as all the others which is fine with me, very clear and easy to listen to.

Great sci fi here

I was given this free review copy audio book at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

I have to say, I really enjoyed this book. I loved the the aliens and sci fi. I thought the narration was great. That I started the series with this book wasn't an issue. In fact, it made me want to back track for the previous 3 books. All in all, a great listen.

The best in the series so far!

The first couple books tended to get bogged down with chapters and lots of dialogue on corporate finance and such, but this book really focused on a more engaging plot line. It’s my favorite in the series so far, I’m excited to read the next!
