Thank you for these. I was a CNA for 11 years. I loved helping people and watching them get better or at least, help them be more comfortable. I especially like helping people going through detox, mental instability (dementia, suicide attempts, etc) and hospice. I feel they don't get enough respect so I can at least treat them like people. Everyone has a story... ...but then I got sick. It's not Covid but right before (a couple weeks probably) Covid hit, that's when everything happened. I've been sick for a few years but they still don't know what caused everything. They are thinking something triggered everything. My organs are doing weird things but they aren't killing me at least. I have Meniere's Disease (vertigo on crack that can make you go deaf), chronic hives a few other things. I haven't been able to get out of bed for a couple years now. Audiobooks are one of the things I can always enjoy, regardless of how much energy I have or if I feel like I'm on fire. I listen to audiobooks near 24/7. I even fall asleep to them which gives me some pretty awesome action adventure dreams. Problem is, I am also on disability so my funds are extremely limited. Audiobooks can get expensive when you don't have an income. This is why I thank you. You are one of the people helping me stay sane while I search for answers.
You’re not alone in your turmoil, I’m also on disability and listen to lots of stories each month and yes, very cool dreams! LoL hang in there. The human body is very amazing and will pretty much take care of itself given time and proper nutrients.

It hasn't stopped my pain but now I can still enjoy some things...such as audiobooks.

Oh I can't wait for the next one! Thank you for sharing these stories with us Gerald. I've listened to the first episode twice now as I always relisten to the previous episodes when you release a new one, that way I am reminded about what happened before and the nice thing is even listening to the stories over again they are just as good or even better because I hear something I missed listening the first time. That is the way a series should be in my opinion
@@pegallen6983 Hi, Im the Jim Johnson that commented on The Belt. I’m actually enjoying the second book, Entropy. Actually I don’t even know how to see the comment.
Just got my physical copies of the two Colony Mats trilogies. Couldn’t be more happy. These may be my favorite book series. Thank you for this world we get to hang out in with you. ❤
These seem to always upload just as I am looking for a new book to relax. Loving these series you've done and really love that you share your work where it is in easily accessible to the public
My second go around of this and the Mars series - just great writing. Although I would say in both series some coincidences stretch credibility. Also great narration for both series.
I have read all of these ( as well as Colony Mars and many more). Having read them before did not spoil the storyline for me at all. It has been really good listening to them. Thank you so much for sharing these!
What amazing series. It deserves nothing less than to be an animated series on Netflix with animation like what was used in the Love, Death + Robots episode, Snow in the desert.
I am missing or forgotten some information.. how did scott come to own the hermmes or how ever you spell it? Did the corporate heads give it to him in book 1? Is he cruising the cosmos riding dirty in a boosted spaceship?
@@GeraldMKilbyAuthor I noticed they are about a month apart. Meanwhile I am biting my nails eagerly waiting. Thank you in advance Sir! Also it is very discouraging and frustrating that your books do not get more recognition and attention!
Thanks for the upload! Will be getting EVOLUTION on Audible, I’m Hooked! Didn’t realize mars colony was your work also. I’ve enjoyed that series too! You’re a great writer!

Amazing books you produce ....I can't thank you enough, great news too about book funnel.... does that mean tho that the rest of the belt series will not be uploaded to you tube ?
I just finished Entropy, will you be uploading any more audiobooks in the series. I am disabled and have no income to purchase books and audiobooks, I am grateful some authors like yourself kindly post them on sites like this.
Yes, I'll be uploading the third book in The Belt series in a week or so. This concludes Scott and Mirand's story. The next books in the series start 23 years later.
I am missing or forgotten some information.. how did scott come to own the hermmes or how ever you spell it? Did the corporate heads give it to him in book 1? Is he cruising the cosmos riding dirty in a boosted spaceship?.. oh geez.. nevermind.. didn't see that coming.. (taps gently plays in background) standing at attention, i raise a stiff tight salute, goodbye herm,, thank you...
Xenon? Who is this? I have heard of Zenen Hybrid. Also what happened to him? Hadn't heard anything about or from him since his offer to take them on a tour. Nothing about him on the ship or being kidnapped or the firefight soon after. Or even anything when they got to Mars. I would have thought that they would be having to hold him back from charging at the enemy, (un armed) to take them on. Zenen was a fighter as well as a scholar. It's like he vanished. While I like how this is following the Colony on Mars. I wish the Authur had spent more time on this part. Maybe catch the reader up on the happenings on Mars or something. Just a short meeting in the garden just seems a bit short considering it's background and buildup from the authors books. Glad superwomen (Miranda) is ok. Haha.
I'm 1/2 way through the 2nd book, and it's extremely well written with an intriguing plot. I'm enjoying it, BUT... the protagonist is a weak and niave beta-male. I hope his character arc leads him down a heroic path, or at least allows him to remove his testosterone inhibitor. That's my only criticism, and I'm excited to have found such an immensely talented author on UA-cam.

I just binged book 1 in one long listening session and I'm zooming right on to book 2. Thanks so much for these books. You're a great author.
Another well-written tome -- love the characters, pacing and overall story -- thanks for sharing!!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
This is rapidly becoming one of my favorite sci-fi authors. It's fast paced fun but there is a real sci-fi epic building in the background.

I secured the hard copies of the Mars Colony series. Fun that it has a nexus in this series. (Time to secure more treasured hard copies)
Thanks, and enjoy!
Really like the pacing, and good choice on the voices of each character
Appropriate AI story that could reflect humanitys possible Future.
