Publisher's summary

The sequel to The Empire's Corps.

Six months ago, Colonel Edward Stalker and his Marines were abandoned on Avalon, left to fend for themselves as the Empire withdrew from the Rim. Since then, Avalon has been isolated from the settled universe... until now.

As a mysterious pirate organisation attempts to take over Avalon, the Marines find themselves struggling against a shadowy figure with dreams of power, while a young civilian is kidnapped and press-ganged into a pirate crew. They're fighting to preserve something of the Empire's order in the wake of its departure, but the pirates appear to have far greater resources and a plan that seems unstoppable.

The Empire is gone. What will take its place?

Great story of honor & heros, overcoming ther odds

Would you try another book from Christopher G. Nuttall and/or Jeffrey Kafer?

No, the horrors described of captives over and over by the villains, while my seem mild to some where just to dark for me.

What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

Wonderful writing keeps the complex techiqual future in sync with the ago old honors and valor to create a winning story.

Which character – as performed by Jeffrey Kafer – was your favorite?

All where done very well,

Great Space Wars, marines, pirates, etc

Great story, it has all the elements of a good space opera. I like the writer and have read his stuff for years.

You will get lost in this story. Outstanding.

When you find that you loose hours and the time flys by as you can't wait for the next set of words to be read to you. I'm really starting to enjoy the works of Christopher G. Nuttall!!!

Noble Soldiers, Realistic Marines.

Any additional comments?

I like the series so far, puts u in the mind set of what it is like to be a marine in the future.
These marines are what we hope they all are like. If u like to expand ur horizon on things, these books will make u second guess any negative feelings towards the military. The way the Author details things out opens ur eyes even for the stuff happening right now.They are human, mortal, and have to make hard decisions to protect those they are charged with. As the books go on, the commentary explains why certain decisions are being made or have been made. Yes this is in the future, but the situations are modern. Enjoy the book, I think u'll finish having a new insight on what our modern soldiers have to deal with.

Great "light" Space Marine Story

If you could sum up No Worse Enemy in three words, what would they be?

Fun, Straightforward, Imaginative

What other book might you compare No Worse Enemy to and why?

Well I'm sure you could compare it to any number of space marine type stories, but I've enjoyed this series thus far. It's light in that it's not a tough read, but it's got enough seriousness to it, both in language and content, that you know your not reading a child's novel, and it's a fun get away.

What three words best describe Jeffrey Kafer’s voice?

This was the weakest aspect of the book. Jeffrey Kafer has a very bland voice, through most of the book I found myself wishing for a bit more inflection or tone from him as he paced through the book. At points it seemed as if he was getting inspired and began running with a voice, but that would inevitably end.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Moved? Not really that kind of book in my opinion.

Any additional comments?

Good book, it's a Space Marine book so know what you're getting into, but it's a very well done one in my opinion.

Clear Story Line

Where does No Worse Enemy rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

This is a sound space adventure. Very enjoyable.

What did you like best about this story?

Development of a good second book in the series. Builds upon the earlier work.

Which character – as performed by Jeffrey Kafer – was your favorite?

Jasmine.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

From military assignment to interstellar vision.

Any additional comments?

This book does not suffer from the shortcomings of many space adventures: too many characters, too much detail, too little plot. Congratulations on a good solid space adventure.

Book 2 in a military sci-fi

Good storyline and great narration. This book transitions away from ground combat to space combat. New enemies and new heroes make their appearance.

good characters and a well conceived likely realistic future for the human race. though I hope I'm wrong.
