Publisher's summary

Star Force is called to arms again! Outcast is a new beginning, the first book in a new spin-off series.

Many peaceful years have passed since the Macro Wars ended. Most of those who fought against the heartless machines have aged - but not the ingenious artificial construct known as Marvin. His insatiable curiosity is as strong as ever, and he’s brought home fresh perils to humanity’s doorstep.

The new Saga in the Star Force universe begins with Outcast, the longest book in the series. A full-length novel of military science fiction by best-selling authors B. V. Larson and David VanDyke.

Another great book from BV Larson

Where does Outcast rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

This audible book would be in my top 25 ! It's a very good action filled story read by one of the best narrators . The whole series is very good.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Of corse my favorite would have to be Riggs but I love Qwan as well. This is the first book with Kyle Riggs being the main character but he picks up right where his dad left off in the book before this one.

Have you listened to any of Mark Boyett’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Mark Boyett has done a great job on all of the Star Force books. I hope they don't ever do one without him being the voice of it. He does a very good job of changing his voice for all the deferent characters and is very fluent .

A Chip Off The Old Block...

Would you consider the audio edition of Outcast to be better than the print version?

Of course. It has Mark Boyett...

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

Why are we making a movie about the 10th book? Why didn't we start with Book 1?

Any additional comments?

This is a good continuation in the Star Force universe. Cody Riggs is a chip of the old man's block and, go figure, just like him. But the story is new, and so are the romances, mixed in with a little of the familiar, and just like that, the Star Force saga continues. I hope for many books to come. So pull up a beer and some constructive nanites and take a ride through another Ring...

Happy

I was a bit upset that Kyle Riggs decided to settle down. But, I was pleasantly surprised that his som had decided to fill his fathers shoes. He is even better than the father. A must read.

If you are even looking to purchase the 10th book then there's nothing I can tell you that you don't already know! I look forward to the next 10 books from this generation & then maybe 10 from adventures of grandson of Kyle Riggs hahaha

One of the Best in the Star Force Series

I thoroughly enjoyed this book featuring Cody Riggs. There were new characters, a fresh story, and an exceptionally exciting romp through an unexplored part of space, containing unusual, but deadly enemies.

I like that Cody Riggs acts a lot like his father, though he is more thoughtful, and more considerate of a woman's feelings than Kyle. I've seen some complaints about the similarities, but I would be disappointed if the son was not like the father.

This one was hard to put down, and exciting through the last minute. I like how the story ended with hints of learning about "the Ancients". As a Stargate and Babylon 5 lover, the Ancients sound very tantalizing.

Awesome!

The story makes for an easy read. The author has the ability to make you feel as if you are experiencing the action, living the events.
