Publisher's summary

Earth burns.

We call them the scum. They came from deep space. Creatures of claws and endless malice, they ravage the world.

As the war flares, as cities crumble, Private Marco Emery and his platoon blast into space. They won one battle on Earth. Their next battle must be fought in the darkness.

The scum will not rest until the last human is dead. Marco and his friends must defeat them. They must win. Or Earth will fall.

Marco, Addy, Lailani and Kemi are now in space.

Among the fifty hand-picked soldiers aboard the HDFS Miyari, Marco Emery was on his way to the Nightwall Outpost, a space station on the front lines of the war with the Scum. They will train to fight alongside the Latona Company, a unit of the legendary Erebus Brigade - an elite fighting force in the Space Territorial Command. Under the command of Lt. Einav Ben-Ari and Sergeant Singh, the new Ravens Platoon also included Addy, Lailani, Elvis, Beast and Corporal Diaz from the training class at Fort Djemila.
The Latona Company is commanded by Captain Coleen Petty. After a dreadful first meeting, Addy dubbed her Captain Chihuahua. Their new uniforms awaiting them at the Outpost, the Ravens still wore their ratty old green fatigues, looking like second class soldiers next to the elite of the Erebus Brigade. And to pile on the pain for Marco, a couple hours before their hyperspace drive is fired a shuttle arrives delivering Cadet Kemi Abasi. She's managed to get assigned to shadow Lt. Ben-Ari in the field. Now Marco has to deal with both Lailani and Kemi. Add to the mix an android named Osiris, and we're ready for a disastrous trip.
Under way in hyperspace a distress call is received from the Corpus Mining Colony, they drop out of warpspace to investigate. What follows is some of the best battle drama and action I've ever had the privilege of reading. Love and death mix with mayhem and mystery as the Ravens fight to survive against a new type of Scum. The action is fast and furious. This is one terrific story and I cannot wait to read more!

A disappointment

The first book in the series was not. Ad at all and I enjoyed listening to that. But this one? It's like a bad mix between "Starship Troopers", "Aliens" and some juvenile horror story. And only the bad parts. How could Arenson manage to destroy the believable story from the first book? It's like a bad movie where they cover a weak story by using too many special effects. A disappointment!

Spoiler Alert. - A little too depressing.

The first book was very good. Yes, it was similar to Stormship Troopers. However, a nice start to hopefully a good series.

Unfortunately I listened to book 2.

Bad B movie in book form

I picked up the first book and you get the B version of Starship Troopers. At least that's what I kept thinking to myself. However, was semi entertained with the listen. Purchased the second book, it gets so implausible that it is just bad. I will not purchase the third.

Pretty Darn Good

The first book captured my attention, this one kept me listening. Now I want to go into the next one.

A bit more horror in this one, but I enjoyed it. On to book 3!

Over dramatic and nothing new...same as the first

Narrator needs to discover that not every line needs to be read like the action move guy's voice. It's tiresome, but a bad narrator has never stopped me from enjoying a book nor rating it highly.

The book is cliche and seems to borrow from well established stories like Aliens and Starship Troops. The author puts enough of a his own spin on it to make it his, but only just enough and it's nothing ground breaking or amazing. Just entertaining. Didn't see the twist at the end, that was good enough to get me to get the third book in this series.

But then it all feel apart for me with the third book.

this book is just a bad slasher flick

This book is awful. It isn't military science fiction at all, it's just a bad slasher flick. This book read like watching a bad b-rated space horror movie.
