Publisher's summary

Major Rodger Y. Murphy should have died when his helicopter crashed off the coast of Mogadishu in November, 1993. Instead, he woke up in August, 2125, in a binary star system 152 light years from home. Without any memory of the otherworldly abductors who spirited them away in cold sleep, Murphy and 100 other “Lost Soldiers” have been retrieved and awakened by officers of the Consolidated Terran Republic.

Promising to return to the 55 Tauri B system after completing a distant mission, they leave the twentieth century castaways with a daunting objective: establish a base of operations on the main world, using local allies they have yet to recruit and enemy equipment they have yet to seize.

If that weren’t hard enough, 55 Tauri A, the system’s primary star, is rapidly approaching, and the technologically superior powers from that neighboring system always visit during the close approach … to raid, pillage, and cull the locals.

Worse, the Lost Soldiers left behind with Murphy were the losers and ne’er-do-wells deemed “sub-optimal” for inclusion on the rescue mission. Defiant and determined to live down that judgment, they have given themselves a different, more suitable label:

Good

It was a good book, this was the first one of the series of books I read. The book had a lot of knowledge holes, a lot of descriptions of items that were explained at the end. I’m not sure if that’s my fault, like I missed something, or if it’s the writers. It was still very fun. I would recommend it to a friend who’s into military sci-fi

The story line

it's a good story. The characters are well developed and keep with their theme. would have like some of the characters to developed first. I didn't like the long flash backs. it's a good story to listen to.

An okay story, worth what I paid for it - Free

The story was okay. A mix of 20th century and 2200 century tech and people. However, the narrators inability to pronounce many military words as well as his poor ability to do multiple voices without sounding like half of the characters were mentally handicapped definitely subtracted from the story.

meh

overall not a horrible story very cliche twist and turns but my most hated part is it's more of an anthology then a solid story. they tell self contained story's of parts of the mission instead of 1 solid story

You don’t know what I went through

Good performance, lackluster story, cardboard cutout characters. I couldn’t finish it.

Oh yeah, 130 years in the future, we still have to make sure everyone knows how bad the Nazis are.
