"Alien invasion with an awesome twist!" -Goodreads reviewer

Nearly 1,000 pages of nonstop action! Two decades of bitter war between Earth and her furthest colonies is finally at an end. Captain Lee Saito's massive new starship is sent to seal the uneasy truce.

But a series of terrorist attacks on Earth and the mysterious acts of a strange cult threaten to derail the fragile peace.

When the mission goes awry, Saito must try to salvage what he can in deep space while his estranged son must navigate a conspiracy back on Earth that could implicate the highest levels of government.

As it all spirals out of control, the future of humanity hangs in the balance.

Includes the first 4 books in the Oblivion series:
Lost Mission
First Contact
Final Invasion
Star Fallen

**** SPOILER ALERT ****
Q: What's better than one Oblivion story?
A: Four of them in one place!!
Young and James bring the four extant books in the series in one spot. My reviews of each of the volumes is below.

"Lost Mission" is, If I Recollect Correctly, Young's first book. He doe's a fine job of world building and character development while telling an action packed tale in a, relatively, small package.
Q: How do you kill a shapeshifting alien that is not affected by bullets?
A: Grab a copy if this book, read it, and find out!
I enjoyed the story and look forward to reading more of the author's books in the future.

"First Contact: Oblivion // Book Two" is Young's second book, and second in this series. The author continues doing a superb job of world building and character development in this book. Young packs in plenty of twists and turns in this action packed space opera. I can hardly wait to see what Ben, Ada, Ace, Tomas, and Morgan get up to in the next book.

Buckle up for a bumpy ride as Young takes us along on the further adventures of the Seito men in "Final Invasion: Oblivion // Book Three".
The author does another fine job of world building and character development in this action packed and twist filled tale.
Fret not, the title is not true. This is NOT the final installment in the series!!
I can hardly wait to get my hands on book four!!
Q: What is the Oblivion looking for?
Q: Who is Morgan really working for?
A: Get this book, read it, and find out!!

In "Star Fallen: Oblivion // Book Four" delivers another great story set in his "Oblivion" universe. I couldn't put this entertaining book down as Young's excellent world building and character development spread out before my eyes. I can hardly wait for book five to come put so that I can see what happens next in the saga.
I highly recommend this boxset!
In the interest of transparency: I was given a free review copy of this book and I am voluntarily sharing this review.
It is my own honest opinion.

Received as an ARC, this is an honest review. A supposed mission of peace between the UEF and the AIC descends into an extreme game of survival for the crew of the Atlas and later Ben Saito and the crew of the Lost. The Oblivion cult with the monstrous alliance of the Shapeless aliens ruthlessly kill all they encounter-they believe they're "freeing" people from their struggles through violent death. Lee, Ben, Ace, Ada, etc. desperately fight to contain the plague as the Oblivion and Shapeless slowly engulf humanity into darkness.

If you take pleasure reading epic science fiction set in a dark vein with plenty of violence and gut wrenching intensity; then grab this box set... you won't be disappointed. Highly recommended.

good story, semi cliff hanger

Humans are overtaken by cultist-humans and alien-shape-shifters. The aliens want to take over all humans and the cultists are used as their slave-enforcers.

Let's hope this isn't how first contact actually goes.

Interesting aliens, only a few badly edited spots. I'll be looking for the rest of the series. so like getting novels in collections..

Where did you get this idea from?

The premise of this set of stories is totally awesome.
The characters are excellent and the future of mankind looks bleak.
I look forward to seeing more of what your warped mind has in store for us.
Keep up the good work.
