About this listen
Beware of creating your worst enemy.
All Joe Colsco wanted out of life was a reasonably interesting job supporting a quiet, comfortable suburban lifestyle, eventually a small family, and time to pursue hobbies. Instead, a freak accident casts him naked onto a beach of another planet inhabited by humans with technology circa 1700. In time, Joe, now known as Yozef Kolsko, makes the difficult acceptance of a new life, has a respectable position in his new society, and is married with a child on the way. But all is not rosy. He has become embroiled in a struggle beyond any dream he could have had - or any nightmare.
The Narthani are a militant society intent on subjugating the Caedelli, the people he's come to identify with. Despite Yozef's hope to focus his life on transferring scientific knowledge and supporting a quiet life, he finds his life's direction moving beyond his control. As his actions and ideas become more important in resisting the Narthani, he reluctantly finds himself dragged into leadership roles he doesn't believe himself qualified - including efforts to unite the Caedelli clans.
The transformation of Joseph Colsco to Yozef Kolsko is about to take another step. Unwittingly, the Narthani themselves are creating an opponent unlike any they have ever faced, an enemy beyond their conceptions.

Epic story that keeps getting better!
This is fascinating series and very different from my usual choices. I’m very glad I decided to take a chance on the first book and try it.
If you are looking for a pleasant light read, this isn’t for you right now. It’s not a simple, quick or straightforward story, but it is rewarding for those who sometimes like something a bit deeper and enjoy having to analyse and consider their own ethics and universal truths in light of danger and war.
The world building is excellent, the main characters are well developed and pacing is good, for the most part. It is an intriguing mix of adventure, romance, history, science, time travel conundrums and war.
It is satisfactorily well read by Jonathan Davis for all the characters , but it does not include any extra sound effects or people to ‘read’ other parts which could have made this extraordinary.

Good book the writer does repeat himself quite oft
the author does tend to repeat himself quite often repeating the same descriptions of things multiple times however I do like the story it's quite interesting and I thought that I couldn't put the book down. sometimes the timelines don't quiet work are a bit hard to understand

Strategic chess game on a low tech parallel world
This is book 3 of an engagingly written Sci-Fi story, where the slightly geeky main character Joseph has to adapt into a parallel Earth culture with a technological level of the 17 hundreds. The humans on the island Caedellium were taken from a pre-European culture - thus their development follows similar structures then those on Earth, although there are significant differences in their society. In Book 3 Joseph has to find solutions to the geo-political conundrum that his new home Caedellium is confronted with. While still suspenseful and engaging, this book reads more like a military strategy book then a parallel Earth sci-fi story, which is not everybody's cup of tea [hence the 4 stars for the story]. The book is written from several point of views of different characters. It will be helpful to go to Olan Thorensen's web page and download the Anyar/ Caedellium maps and the character list to prevent confusion with the many different names.
The narration of this book series was excellent - especially with so many players involved. It is a very entertaining read.

This series is getting better with every book.
Really enjoying this series of books in particular see the plot go in unexpected directions !
However I think any self respecting Chemistry Major would have invented matches after 3 books full of other chemistry inventions ?

All over the place
This audio book needs putting in order. The chapters and story is all over the place and not in order. I'm part way through and it making reference to the coming back which had been born two chapters prior. Very disappointed
