Über diesen Titel
The colony on Haven-7 has gone rogue.
The colonists have split into two factions: the Techborn and the Dusters. The Techborn have always ruled the planet. They control the remnants of the crashed starship that brought humanity to this new world. The Dusters… they eat Techborn dust.
Now, the Techborn strength is waning. Their weapons are getting old, and radiation leaks from the aging reactors have created mutations. Some of these, like their brutish troops known as Tuskers, have proven useful—but others are abominations.
When the Dusters rebel, civil war breaks out. Special Forces operative Dane Tanner is transmitted to Haven-7 to stabilize the colony… by any means necessary.
The Techborn is the thrilling first book of the Rift Warrior series. With millions of copies sold, USA Today bestselling author B. V. Larson is the king of modern military science fiction.
©2024 Iron Tower Press Inc. (P)2024 Podium AudioThe protagonist is portrayed as frustratingly dim-witted, which makes it hard to connect with or root for him. The female characters are reduced to shallow stereotypes, either the loyal, submissive housewife or the whip-wielding dominatrix, making the story feel outdated and tone-deaf. It’s disheartening to see such one-dimensional depictions from an author who once wrote with creativity.
Each time you think the narrative has hit rock bottom, it finds a way to sink further. I found myself constantly questioning whether this was truly written by B.V. Larson. The sharp decline in quality that began with Red Company seems to be continuing, and similar feedback is now surfacing about the latest installments of Undying Mercenaries as well.
One bright spot remains: Mark Boyett’s narration. He continues to perform at a consistently high level, bringing professionalism and energy to even the most lackluster material. Frankly, I can only imagine he must feel a little dirty after finishing a book like this.
At this point, Larson's work has become nearly unlistenable for me. It’s a tough thing to say about an author I once admired so much. Still, I hold out hope that he can find his way back to form. For now, though, Techborn is, regrettably, not worth the time.
Disappointing Low Point in Larson's Career
