The Story

The future isn’t what they expected.

A company of Army Rangers is sent on an interstellar colony ship to secure a foothold on a dangerous, alien planet through violence of action. Leaving behind a warring Earth flung headfirst into a conflict of mutual assured destruction, the Rangers and the accompanying crew of first colonists are guided on a 40-year journey by an unprecedented artificial intelligence.

But when they emerge from the frigid embrace of cryosleep, they awake to a nightmare, finding themselves greeted by the same ruthless enemy that brought about the ruin of Earth. Alone on a dangerous, alien planet and with no hope of rescue or relief, the military colonists are forced to finish the war they thought they’d left behind. And in an unknown galaxy, friends and enemies alike prove to be much more than they seem.

Wayward Galaxy is an explosive military science-fiction adventure featuring defective AIs, valorous soldiers, a brilliant scientist, and gritty combat written by Jason Anspach (Associated Press best seller and cocreator of Galaxy’s Edge) and J.N. Chaney (USA Today best seller and author of the Renegade series).

This is a great listen - very military oriented… I should not be surprised of the quality that Podium produce!

Space, time distortion, aliens, guns and an android, this really scratches an itch that you know you have!

The story can be a little slow at times, though it's still enjoyable. I liked the way that the author has taken old and used standards in faraway colonist stories and struggles, and told them in a new and interesting way - it could have been the opposite for sure!

The AI personalities are fun too. I wonder if as AI evolves over the next few years, it's something we're destined to see in real life?
