Publisher's summary

Science fiction with a dystopian, post-apocalyptic twist, listen to the complete Planetsider Trilogy as a single boxed set.

No.1 Best Seller in Space Opera Science Fiction

From book 1:

Ethan is a ranger, sworn to protect his walled settlement from the dangers of his ravaged wasteland planet. One night, a mysterious light thunders overhead and Ethan investigates, discovering a crashed spacecraft and two soldiers from a moon base he didn’t even know existed. Captain Salus and Commander Kurren have risked everything to find a Planetsider to help save their people. Ethan needs them to answer questions that have haunted him all his life – what happened to his world and why?

Seduced by the prospect of learning the truth, Ethan agrees to help Captain Salus and Commander Kurren. Disobeying the orders of his council, he travels to the UEC outpost on the moon. There Ethan gets his answers, but the truth only leads to more questions and more doubts.

To make matters worse, Kurren and Salus are not the only ones looking for a Planetsider. An enemy faction, trapped on an orbital space station, will stop at nothing to capture Ethan, and prevent him from helping the UEC. With time running out to save the moon base, Ethan agrees to embark on a dangerous mission to recover vital technology set adrift in a radiation field that only a Planetsider can survive.

But his ship is intercepted by the rival faction and Ethan is taken to the space station. There he meets the faction’s leader, who turns his life upside down and inside out. Everything he thought he knew was a lie.

Plucked from a life of ignorance and obscurity, Ethan is thrust into the center of a war that has raged for over a century – a war that created the world he grew up in. Yet fate has a cruel sense of irony, because now the survival of two entire civilizations rests in the hands of a solitary Planetsider.

An edge-of-your-seat blend of Mil-SF action & classic apocalyptic science fiction. Perfect for fans of space opera and classic apocalyptic sci-fi.

Finalist in the Independent Audiobook Awards 2020 (Apocalyptica).

The Summer Program

I really hate summer, and she honestly ruined these books for me. In the first book after they left Earth I started enjoying the story. Then in the second book as soon as Summer was in I was out. Her character is too over the top for me. And is just completely unreasonably a bitch. and Ethan being a pussy and not standing up to her abuse. Summer has ruined the story for me and I almost can't complete the books because of her.

A Thoroughly Enjoyable Refreshing Story

I was given this free review copy audio-book at my request and have voluntarily left this review. This review is for the audio copy of The Planetsider Trilogy - A Post Apocalyptic Science Fiction Boxed Set by GJ Ogden and narrated by J.S. Arquin. This series was an exceptional find for me. I thoroughly enjoyed the storyline where apocalypse meets science fiction. I had no idea what to expect and was instantly engaged and listening to it every free moment I had. This is a book that I will listen to again; it was that good in my opinion. The narration was perfect with the story coming alive in my mind. I highly recommend this boxed set.

Interesting mix of apocalyptic and sci-fi

This is the first to third book I have read/listened to by this author and I am glad I was able to listen to all three books at once. Each book nicely wraps up a segment of the overall story but leaves an opening into the next. We get to see the story from the perspective of many of the the planetsiders as well as the people on the moon base and space station.
I really like the mix of Sci-fi and the apocalyptic event. The radiation on the planet mutates people and they become very aggressive and cannibalistic, similar to but also different from the typical concept of zombies.

I would listen to this series again. It’s quite enjoyable.

This is the first to third book I have listened to by this narrator ( J.S. Arquin ). His style is definitely as one reading the story, but he still manages to bring out the personalities of the characters. His character voices are not overly distinct, but are mostly distinguishable. His female voices are ok. It is a very pleasant listen and his narration did not detract from the story.

There are no explicit sex scenes, or excessive violence, I don’t really recall any swearing.

Destruction, Death, Rebirth and a Bright Future

I have listen and read this trilogy and the audible was the best due to the narrator also the story has many storylines that are so well written that it creates the most perfect tapestry of adventure.
The basic is a story of greed, destruction nonstop war and the earth left as a dead planet. In the near future companies almost rules and one company builds a moon station and other builds a space station. At first these two companies are friendly toward each other and producing power source they found on the moon and the space station purfy it and sends it to the mega cities on earth. Then one day the two companies start to fight each for power, control and money but what happen destroyed all the mega cities and parts of the two stations in space. When the war caused the explosion it covered the earth with radiation that effected the human and turning them into monsters or if they were lucky they died.
A few years later and you meet human survivors who are not effected by the radiation but they now fight to survive the humans who had turned into monster. As the story continues you live the lives of many people who live on the earth, moon station or space station and the years from the explosion to the a new possible beginning.

One dimensional

This story has great potential, but it is killed by two things. First, the narrator changes voices mainly just by using a nasal tone and talking louder. It is cringe worthy. Secondly, the characters exhibit completely one dimensional behavior. They never act in an unexpected way, They’re whiny and they make you not want to like them even though the story is fairly compelling. I’m just through the second book and I’m contemplating not listening to the third part. I would like to see some sort of exploration of the planet or at least some sort of exploration of The moon base. There’s virtually no description of how these places feel leading to kind of a hollow feeling of the whole experience.

Awesome concept

The entire trilogy was based on a very original concept(at least to me). The characters were and development of the story was very good. The pace was quick and not a lot of unnecessary words just to fill pages like some others.

I did think some of the interactions were border line childlike and the time frames for the story development was a bit unbelievable.

The narrator was good and well spoken although one of his character voices sounded a lot like Cartman from South Park.


Thanks for the opportunity to review this book that I received at my request for a completely unbiased review.

Narrator is the downfall for me.

I know everyone can't be RC Bray, but the narration in this book was just not to my liking. At one point i was happy someone died because the voice the narrator gave them annoyed the hell out of me, I've never had that in any other book I've listened to. Imo it seemed like the narrator really did not want to read this book.
