Twenty-five years ago, the Overseers conquered Earth and enslaved humanity. The time to fight back has come...

Alec works in the Detroit Overseer-factories, building a mysterious alien device. When three strangers appear, he's provided an opportunity to escape after years of servitude.

Cole, a Freeborn loner, encounters Lina after her village is destroyed by the alien Occupation. Together, they make the arduous journey to a fabled safe-zone, trying to stay one step ahead of the enemy drones on their trail.

Dex is a Hunter, working for the Occupation to track down escaped factory slaves, or Roamers, at all costs. But his latest hunt uncovers a massive secret and threatens his loyalty to the Overseers.

All their fates are bound. For the first time in decades, a secret enclave of alien resistance fighters known as the Reclaimers prepare to make their move.

Join the fight for humanity in this special-edition Omnibus. Fast-paced, action-packed, and full of unforgettable characters, this series will leave you reading deep into the night. Grab your copy today!

I believe I haven't given a review for any of the Rise books because I wanted to read the series first. I would like to think that how the characters reacted to being invaded is how we would act. This is a great series, love the characters and tempo of the story. Good sci-fi will make you cheer and laugh in one chapter and scream and cry in another. If you like classic earth vs aliens series this is one you want to read. Nathan Hystad and Devon C. Ford, well done, would like to read another if you two have written more.

A different take on how an alien invasion might proceed, with a believable concept and diverse characters and settings

Reviewed in the United States on October 4, 2021

Verified Purchase

The Rise series makes a very enjoyable read, utilising an ensemble of characters from diverse backgrounds to keep the story moving. Rather than vicious monsters intent on killing humans described in many alien invasion stories, the aliens in RISE are disdainful of humans and only interested in our world for its resources, utilizing the remaining human population as slaves. That premise puts this series head and shoulders above most alien invasion stories by allowing for the development of more than the basic 'kill them before they kill us' narrative.

This is still essentially an action oriented book series however, with no effort to explore how years of slavery would effect people and create different reactions and responses. Nor is there any real tension among the good guys, instead they all act more or less selflessly. At the same time many aspects of the fictional world are ignored, from sexuality to religion to communications. If RISE was a movie, the cast might include a Bruce Willis and Jason Statham type, but likely not a Indris or Keanu type lead.

RISE was just what I was looking for, a story with enough detail to draw me in and with enough action to keep me involved.

Aliens come to Earth. ✔️
Aliens obliterate any defense ✔️
Aliens enslave survivors and force them to work in slave camps (what?)
Survivors band together to fight ( Hell, yes!)
And the outcome (is as well written as any alien apocalyptic story you have ever read)
This is an excellent set of books. You'll love them.

Great Alien Invasion Yarn

25 years after the invasion, the vast majority of humans are either dead, enslaved, or barely surviving. Every chapter is told from the point of view of different character. Some were born before the invasion, some after, some are collaborating with the enemy, some are slaves, still others are itching for revenge. Can the unite and rise up against the invaders? Read all three as one book, you won’t be disappointed.

We're better than we think...

Rise begins with an impossibly bleak setting, but by telling the full story from the perspectives of some very different kinds of characters, the authors have made it a journey of redemption and a page turner! I especially appreciated the cultural sensitivity the authors made good use of throughout. Sci-fi often can teach us lessons better than any other genre.

The story moved lightening speed. Just enough small talk to learn about the characters. Not overly violent to overshadow the storyline.

Hystad/Ford wrote an excellent series that totally kept my interest both with their writing skills and their storyline characters. The first and second person dialog kept the story going and never ceased to impress.

Fantastic series

Don't usually read this type of book but from chapter one I was hooked. The story and the characters grow on you until you feel part of the story. I'm very thankful that I got the 3 books together and reading them all together without a break was the best part. Anyone could read and enjoy this series and if you don't you won't know what you are missing. An excellent series with thought and believable characters. Bring on the next one.... Please!

Could have been a brillaint story with different vocabulary!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 1, 2021

Only about 4 times in the last 5 years have I not completed a box once I had started it. This one was not to my taste at all. I suspect that it would have been an excellent story with losts of twists and turns but I think a good author can create tough characters without bad language. I can tolerate a little if it does not get in the way of the story but so much does not make for a good read.
