At the edge of known space, Marine Lieutenant Gant Maker continues his vengeful pursuit of the alien race known as the Vacra.Now confirmed to have stolen weapons and tech so advanced that it can¿t even be classified, the Vacra represent a menace unlike anything mankind has ever faced. For Maker, the threat is also personal, as the treacherous and cunning insectoids – still smarting from their … stunning defeat at his hands during their last encounter – have specifically targeted him for capture, along with his exotic alien companion, Erlen.Going well beyond any charted or civilized worlds, Maker and his loyal crew of misfits once again find themselves outnumbered and outgunned. With the fate of humanity hanging in the balance, even their unique talents may not be enough to overcome the odds this time, which include not only the Vacra¿s alien armada, but a mysterious being with the ability to utterly destroy anything it touches.

Wow, I love this series (but then again I have loved every series that Kevin has written about so it’s not unexpected.) This book is the second book in the series and there had better be a third because I just can’t get enough. It is so unpredictable with plenty of action and set in another world with strange creatures and aliens, so what is there not to enjoy and it is a book you can listen to again and again. With wonderful characters and a great writing style that keeps you listening this is a must have book.
This book sees Maker and his rag tag band of marines and civilians on the hunt for the Vacra, an alien race with a deadly past of killing every thing in it way. It’s not long before they are on the hunt or before the Hunter becomes the prey, with grave and deadly consequences.
The narrator is just brilliant and I just love his range of voices for each of the characters, it’s like several people reading the story to you so it never gets dull or monotonous.
OMG! This Second book was so much fun to listen to, and the characters and Story was definitely reviting! To say I like this book would be a understatement. The Narrator did a Excellent job of bringing this story to life and same with the characters. I highly recommend this series and especially this Story.
Efferus: Fringe Worlds book 2 is full of action. Marine Lieutenant Gant Maker pursues the menacing alien race known as the Vacra, as well as a powerful mysterious being, in a battle for mankind. Will Maker and crew overcome the seeming unsurmountable odds and save humanity? Find out in Efferus; much excitement and adventure awaits.
Efferus: Fringe Worlds #2, my eleventh read/listen from author Kevin Hardman & the second book in a series that looks to be excellent! I don’t restrict my reading to any particular genre. Instead, I’m a sucker for anything with memorable characters & a story that keeps me on the edge of my seat until the end. Reminiscent of Michael Anderle & Sarah Noffke’s Ghost Squadron series and Isaac Hooke’s Forever Gate series. Narrator Mikael Naramore’s talented narration added greatly to the book’s enjoyment. I was given an Audible copy of this book & am voluntarily reviewing it. I have to admit there were times I sped up the book because I couldn’t wait to see what happened next. Different than his Kid Sensation series I’ll be reading more from this author & hope the series continues! (RIP Marley January 20, 2014 – July 24, 2018).
Efferus by Kevin Hardman and narrated by Mikael Naramore is an audible book I requested and the review is voluntary. This series fills the Firefly hole in my heart! It has all the daring and unconventional escapades, the unique but skilled crew, and the great interactions between them. Lots of action, always in trouble somehow, new and exciting adventures, great plot, and it leaves me excited for the next book!
The narrator is spot on with voices, emotions, and makes the book just that much better! Thanks!
