Length: 12 hrs and 32 mins

Publisher's summary

The Earth died when aliens rained thermonuclear warheads on her cities and sprayed the surface with a bio-terminator. A deadly poison drifted to every corner of the planet, threatening the last survivors with annihilation.

For a soldier in Antarctica like Creed, there is only one way to keep breathing untainted air. He must bury his hatred of the extraterrestrials and join the Jelk Corporation as an assault trooper, leaving the planet for outer space. In return for his and other people's services, the corporation will house the last humans for as long as the assault troopers keep winning.

For the price of living and the chance to save humanity, Creed has to wear a shock chip in his neck - Jelk discipline is harsh - and he has to don a symbiotic battlesuit that feeds off his sweat. Human life is cheap in the vast alien war. The assault troopers are little more than suicide soldiers, but for humanity to escape extinction, they must survive. But Creed didn't agree to the bargain in order to remain a dog to the aliens. He has a plan, and he'll need all his cunning to beat these star born bastards and begin the road to freedom for the human race.

Assault Troopers is a tale of human extinction and ultimate desperation, written by bestselling author Vaughn Heppner.

Great Story, Outstanding Narration

Great story. I enjoyed the characters and their interactions. The tense moments and action was great. Christian Rummel's narration was also outstanding. Great voices, made listening to the story a blast! Highly recommend if you like SciFi action.

Great Story, Alien Races a Bit Cartoonish

Loved everything about the whole series except the alien races described mostly reminded me of the stuff you'd see on an old 60s episode of Star Trek. I wouldn't equate highly evolved beings with dirty babion type creatures or giant bipedal tigers.

Fun read and listen

The story leaves many avenues for the author to take the ride. I will be jumping into the next book now.

Space Vikings

Its interresting in the start but the after an hour or Two it gets really boring but then at the last Two hours It gets really interresting. Can't wsit to hear book Two

Very Enjoyable

This was a very enjoyable book. There were some holes / jumps in the storyline but overall it was good. This could shape into a very good series.

Interesting

This is the second book by Heppner I have listened to. This one was narrated by Christian Rummel and was far superior to the other. I decided to get the next book

Great space Cowboys SF

Too bad the rest of the audiobooks aren't on kindle unlimited. Wish I knew if it was Amazon or the author's choice.

Macho guy story with a boob fetish

The narrator was the only reason i made it to chapter 27.

The story was cookie cutter from the start. The main character was an ass to me... He was so overly macho i laughed out loud at some of the dialog exchanges, and not because they were funny!

I tried, but couldn't finish listening to it.

reminiscent of L, Ron Hubbard. ..

he was going for starship troopers but got closer to Battlefield Earth. the narrator is awesome tho, graet production.

A fun romp.

Not a deep story, but it makes a nod in that direction. Creed was the most relatably rendered while some of the others seemed to be cardboard cutouts. Christian did a fabulous job of giving every character a unique, consistent voice. Vaughn did a grand job of leaving us as confused as the protagonist. It was enjoyable nonetheless!
