The Silicate War has been over for 15 years, and the tension among the dominant galactic races is growing. Many fear that the Umblegarri, the ancient alien race that ushered humanity into the interstellar galactic community during the Silicate War, have been targeted for conquest by the Crax and their allies.
It's no longer speculation. The invasion is underway and Kra finds himself strapped to a hospital bed, critically injured and surrounded by hostile corporate lawyers, high-ranking military and intelligence officials, ambitious members of the criminal justice apparatus, and an Umbelgarri diplomat. All are demanding answers or their pound of flesh.
Krakista Keesay, a Class-4 Security Specialist, doesn't have the answers they demand. Why did he sabotage a top-secret research facility? What was he doing on a quarantined planet? Why did he set up the civil transport Kalavar for destruction? Is that all? Not even close.
Kra turns to his only option: Allow his brain to be hooked up to an experimental device so that he might prove his innocence. Or lose his mind.

No because I never listen, read, or watch a audio, book, or movie twice. But I thoroughly enjoyed this story.
Kra Kessay a character grounded in old world morals and survival techniques who survives in a future world of technology
I did think Mr. Conlan's voice was a bit too formal in some action parts of the story. Hence only a four star rating.
Difficult to do with any audio book. I listen in my car while traveling
I read another review that panned Relic Tech rather badly. In my opinion the reviewer was completely wrong. The story concept of a warrior armed with only a shotgun and pistol against future laser and energy pulse weapons is a brilliant concept. It gives the listener something to be grounded in. Lets face it, inner galactic wars is not a realism many of us can believe in so the entertainment aspect is what we're left with. The other reviewer stated the concept was unbelievable. As if inner galactic wars is believable. I read and listen to stories to be entertained. This story is entertaining. Mr. Ervin's ability to weave a tale is extraordinary.In a make believe world he made totally unbelievable characters come to life.
"Boring, and unbelievable"
A more believable story would help. Better narrator with more variety between voices. I gave up part way through the second half.
Nope - not a chance. Terry W Ervin is on my "avoid at all costs" list (I usually use another name for this list, but don't want to be rude).
I suppose at least the performer's voice was pleasant, but there wasn't enough variety between character voices - leading to losing track of which character was talking.
Almost anything/everything led to me being distracted - I was that bored. I persisted as far as I did because the premise had promise, but I couldn't stick with it to the end, I just gave up on it.
If you like being bored, or just need some background noise while doing something else, then grab this, otherwise, avoid it.
