Publisher's summary

The Galactics arrived with their Battle fleet in 2052. Rather than being exterminated under a barrage of hell-burners, Earth joined a vast Empire that spans the Milky Way. Our only worthwhile trade goods are our infamous mercenary legions, elite troops we sell to the highest alien bidder.

In 2122 a lost colony expedition contacts Earth, surprising our government. Colonization is against Galactic Law, and Legion Varus is dispatched to the system to handle the situation. Earth gave them sealed orders, but Earth is 35 lightyears away. The Legion commanders have a secret plan of their own. And then there's James McGill, who was never too good at listening to authority in the first place....

In Dust World, book two of the Undying Mercenaries Series, McGill is promoted to Specialist and sent to a frontier planet outside the Empire. Earth's status within the Empire will never be the same.

Great book.

This book was great. The story played out wonderfully and was twisting and turning all the way till the end. Then when you think it is all over SLAP nope it flips and ends so well.

great addition to the series

while the series seems to be evolving with more depth and lore, it stays true to the essence of the first book. at least to me.

Another fantastic story

Again, I am impressed with how well this book was written and narrated. If you enjoyed the first book in the series, Steele world, I highly recommend you check out book two.

A little less...


This book seemed (to me at least) not to have as much action as Dust World. That is not exactly a bad thing as this book gives a little different view of how the main character feels about the role of earth in the big picture. But I would like to see a little more action in Tech World.

Love the series

A little too detailed at times but I suppose all good space operas are. Good character development. Looking forward to the next book.

Entertaining Commute Listening

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

It feels like watching OK (not great) Sci Fi TV, The story is fun and mildly interesting, but not deep. The performance is top notch.
