About this audiobook
We hide in shadows. Our planet is lost. We are the last humans, and we must go home.
Two thousand years ago, aliens destroyed Earth. Our fleets shattered. Billions died. The last humans fled a burning planet, heading to the stars.
Today we are still refugees. Hungry. Afraid. Our enemies hunt us everywhere.
So we hide. On distant asteroids. In rundown space stations. In deep caves on frozen worlds. And we dream.
Of green hills. Blue skies. Golden fields. We dream of Earth.
And for the first time, we have hope.
A few of us, just a handful of brave souls, form the Heirs of Earth. We are humans who stand tall. Who fight back. Aliens call us terrorists. The humans we save call us heroes. We have starships, weapons, and warriors. We can bring humanity home.
Earth is far. We have not seen her in many generations. But we have not forgotten. Earth is our heritage. Earth is our birthright. We will return!

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book was way better than I expected. This really should be made into a movie. I think it would be a hit with all of the special effects, it could be a tv monster hit.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5I found the aliens acting way to much like bad humans in monster suits, gambling, hanging out in bars getting drink, pirates with grudges, pointlessly cruel, etc. etc. And the humans not being especially smart about their situations.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5darn good. Its a book that keeps you reading and reading. I can´t wait to read the second book.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Really enjoyed this one. Good visually descriptive writing. Visceral action sequences.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Book oneThis was mostly a good read with slow spots and too much repetition that I had to skim. Earth is lost to humans and they end up scattered over the galaxies where they are treated as vermin. A few ships go around gathering up survivors and seem to get as many killed in each raid as they rescue. Some of the alien species are hostile, some indifferent and the strongest want to eradicate them. Earth, the home world, is all they go on about, even singing about. Now they were driven from there by a much advanced species who either blew up the world of drove off the humans and took over. I couldn't figure out why they didn't find a suitable unoccupied world and register their people while they were strong instead of waiting until there were dimly a couple dozen patched up ships and now they will fight a war and go find Earth and retake it from the conqueror.
