Publisher's Summary
Three complete novels. Almost 1,000 pages of lighting-paced action.
Anyone who is a fan of Isaac Asimov, Arthur C. Clarke, David Weber will love Jack L. Knapp. And they do. Thousands of copies have been downloaded. This is science-fiction at its best - future engineering, intrigue, first contact....It’s a space opera like none you’ve experienced before. The audiobooks will keep you listening late into the night - you won't be able to stop!
Audiobook 1: The Ship
Building a spaceship that uses Nicola Tesla's revolutionary space drive is only the beginning. From a new industrial revolution to the brink of global war, restless humanity presses onward, eventually to the first contact with an alien species.
There will be changes...if we survive.
Fans of Carl Sagan, Arthur C. Clarke, and Jerry Pournelle will love this hard SF series.
"Readers who like their socket wrenches properly used will love this" - T. Jackson King
"Interesting approach combining near future with imaginative science" - Amazon Customer
"A real 'hard' science fiction novel. Jack Knapp continues to write a good story. I love that his editing is also superb. No more errors than I’d find in a professionally published book." - Ronald Q. Smith
Audiobook 2: NFI
New Frontiers, Inc, is leading the drive to conquer space. Overcoming opposition from powerful and jealous nations is only the beginning. What of the alien society that left those mysterious beacons in the asteroid belt? They’re still here, and they’re not happy....
If you liked John Ringo’s Troy Rising trilogy, you’ll enjoy Jack Knapp’s New Frontiers series.
Much more action, skullduggery, etc. Plenty of new tech, lots of spying, and back door deals. We may be on the eve of WWIII.
Audiobook 3: NEO
World War III is about to break out. As if that wasn’t dangerous enough, the enigmatic extraterrestrials called the Flickers have returned with a warning: do not venture beyond the moon. Faced with the ultimate threat, can humanity put aside their differences and unite to face the common danger?
Fans of Robert A. Heinlein, Isaac Asimov, and David Weber will enjoy this series.
"...a page turner...I was up most of the night." - Blair Howard
"A well written book and a great series that grabs your attention and holds it" - CB
"It’s such a rare event that a story captures my attention so well that I forget to eat and sleep. The author really understands Geopolitics and human nature" - Kindle Scotty

Detailed story, plausible science
Kudos to the author to take on the challenge of creating such a detailed story line.
The engineering oriented plot is engaging for people who have had similar experience in the real world of projects.
Unfortunately the narrator is not my cup of tea and the attempts at foreign accents tend to distract from the content.

Very dry and one dimensional
its like reading an outline for a tv production script, which i think this book could be turned into a tv sci fi series. its needs actors to inject some emotion and script writers to write some tension and emotion into it.
the whole story is bland and lacking characterization and feeling. The dialogue between family members is unemotional and stilted.
the ideas are great but the dryness of the books and terrible narrator really pull it down. the narrator has a 'plummy' american accent and can't do any of the other accents properly or even differentiate between characters. top points to the author for choosing to bring Australia into his story, but again the narrators horrible accents and pronouncement of Brisbane made me cringe every time!

Just can't listen to this guy,
His voice is the same for every character and sounds like he's reading to a child.
