Fifteen years after Earth joins the Galactic Free Trade Association, the planet is flooded with alien technology. Somebody has to support all the new galactic tech, and Jack Buckston, president, CEO, and sole employee of Xenotech Support Corporation, does his best to keep his clients happy, find true love, and prevent interstellar war.

Galactic technology has cured cancer, solved the energy crisis, and eliminated global warming - but what do the aliens want from us? They can't get enough congressional subcommittee broadcasts. They consider them reality comedies!

Xenotech Rising is a light-hearted romp and the first book in the Xenotech Support/Galactic Free Trade Association series.

This is the hilarious tale of Jack Buckston who is tech support for the many types of new alien technologies Earth has adopted after being invited to join GAFTA (Galactic Free Trade Assn.) It is a great story for any age group, and refreshingly, his love interest is a brilliant and competent woman working 4 jobs to support herself and pay for her degrees. In exchange for technical and translation support, Jack got a deal on a flat in the "Ad Astra" Alien Diplomatic complex. His adventures with his clients, fellow residents and sentient cellphone are great fun. Xenotech has solved the energy crisis and many of our problems, but there are those elements who eschew the new Tech, and think that Earthmen should dominate the galaxy....

Those who are steeped in Geek Culture get a bonus as there are tons of references. The book is set in near future Atlanta, GA, and I expect natives of that area will recognize the local restaurants and institutions. The narrator is great, and you can almost hear him smiling in some passages.

Have it on Kindle, and had to get the Audible too.

This is a lighthearted story that has enough twists and turns to keep things moving. Characters are developed, technology is introduced, galactic economics and intra species relationships play a part. Enough going on to keep you in the loop but not too much as to overwhelm you. The author reminds me of a blend of Terry Pratchett and John Scalzi with the way he crafts the mundane into entertainment.

Just fun

What if the aliens were mostly friendly? That's the basic premise behind this book. It's a laugh a minute adventure with a little bit of romance sprinkled in. Really looking forward to the rest of the series. I love how it treats aliens as just people with differently shaped bodies instead of horrible monsters.

A fun romp through a well built universe

A delightful story that was everything I wanted from the book. The humor was well balanced, and the way the plot elements wove together by the end was incredibly well done. I fully expected at least one client to be filler, but the fact that Schroeder managed to write a way for all of them to be connected to the main plot was very impressive. The performance itself was also quite good, with the narrator emoting very clearly throughout, even with the wide range of character voices. I would absolutely listen to the rest of the series if it's ever recorded, and will be looking into purchase written copies in the near future to keep me going until then.

A well crafted novel
