About this listen

Aiyana and Kendra Cassidy never anticipated becoming the key to humanity's survival. As leaders of the Heavy Lift Corporation, their objective is clear: secure humanity’s future among the stars. Politics? Who needs it, when the galaxy is calling?

Their obstacles are formidable. Earth’s resources are dwindling, and the once-promising Artemis Accords now serve as a fragile shield against the oppressive Solarian Union. Political intrigue, technological challenges, and the ever-present threat of orbital bombardment from the Union make their mission perilous. Furthermore, the plan to convert sunken naval ships into a space fleet seems a desperate gamble, with both allies and enemies watching their every move.

The consequences of failure are stark: three-quarters of Earth’s population face starvation within decades, and the Solarian Union’s dominance could become unassailable. Success, however, means a rebirth for humanity—a chance to explore the stars, establish new colonies, and reclaim control over their destiny.

Set in a richly detailed sci-fi universe, the Artemis Wars Omnibus Edition combines space exploration, military strategy, and dystopian survival with intricate character dynamics. Follow Aiyana and Kendra as they navigate a web of political deception, technological innovation, and personal sacrifice. This is not just a battle for resources; it’s a fight for the future of mankind. Will they triumph and lead humanity into a new era among the stars? Dive into the Cassidyverse and find out.

it's superbly terrible. No respect to any science, men, freedom of information, equality or humanity and the human condition. Plus it rips off Star Trek without understanding why.... how on earth did it get published.

Why are there no men ?

So, first off, within the first 10–15 minutes, you'll notice a very anti-male theme. It's handled so poorly that I actually thought the author was mocking women—the characters sounded like they were lifted straight out of Sex and the City or Barbie.

The overall story is that the UE (UN) is hamstrung by treaties with the space colonies, which require that all of Earth's resources be sent to them. As a result, Earth is facing a future famine.

Fine—interesting idea. So the UE asks two trillionaires for help. Within months, they've developed advanced spaceships that are decades ahead of anything else. Okay, a bit odd. Then, out of nowhere, they suddenly have warp speed—faster than light—and they're traveling to other solar systems. It’s mentioned that they have replicators to create food. Wait, what? If they have replicators, wouldn’t that solve the famine issue? Plot holes like this are scattered throughout the story.

It never reached its goal. The characters often sounded like they were pulled straight out of Barbie movies, which got annoying at times. It's a shame, because I was expecting so much more from it.

Never reached it pretension

An exciting Sci-Fi story from the aspect of humanity first leaving Sol.

The downsides for me are that 1. there was a bit too much pulling stuff straight from Star Trek. 2. towards the end of the war more attacks seemed to sneak up on them through incompetence rather careful planning. The good guys can't just win constantly but they shouldn't be caught out by a lack of basic defense either. Case and point Lynch being able to use HLC to launch his second attack in quick succession.

So IMO while improvement is possible, I think the series is worth a read and I'll be continuing on to the follow up stories.

I liked it on the whole
