Publisher's summary

War Whore is a thrilling stand-alone novel in the War's Edge universe.

The most dangerous job in the galaxy...

In war, there is no second place. To ensure victory, planetary governments employ private armies to help fight their battles. And the Berserkers are the best. As the galaxy's preeminent mercenary force, they are hired by governments and corporations to do jobs that are too tough, too messy, or too deadly for their own forces. Expertly trained and equipped with the most advanced weaponry, they are willing to do whatever it takes to fulfill a contract - if the price is right.

Their job was to kill and get paid handsomely for it, but being a hired gun doesn't mean there isn't a code. For the Berserkers, that means taking care of their own. Captain Ron Axel finds that mantra tested to the limit when he must lead a daring mission to rescue a Berserker force trapped deep behind enemy lines on a bleak frontier world. With no margin for error, the Berserkers must fight to survive against an onslaught of hostile forces, and Axel must choose between accomplishing the mission or the survival of his men.

They stand to make the biggest payday in the galaxy...if they can live long enough to spend it.

Great Tactical Book

I loved the tactics and story of this book. I found the character development a bit lacking. The pace and action of this book will pull you in.

Love it!

Great stand alone story. Can’t go wrong with it. Non stop action. Tanks. The horrors of war. And a perfect ending. Ready to listen to the next one!

Great sci fi military novel

Very good action packed and well writen. the author is well versed in military knowledge and tactics. Really enjoyed it from beginning to end.

Updated Hammer’s Slammers

This was a visceral, well done update of Hammer’s Slammers without the court intrigue. Ryan Aslesen is a talented author who provides a fresh perspective of military science fiction.

Good story!

This reminds me of Hammer’s Slammers, though updated. I loved David Drake’s work, and you are a worthy successor. I wish you luck, you have gained a fan, Keep it up!

Great Book!

I genuinely enjoyed this book. I wasn't sure if it would stand up to the first, because it is a completely different story and different narrator. However I was pleasantly surprised, it was just as good and the narrator was so much better.

Tactical Hover tank Action

No frills, just a sequence of action where a tank commander cuts a path of destruction in order to relieve pocketed comrads. it is bloody and violent, but you won't regret it.

Like fury, but in the future.

It's a great book set in the wars edge universe. this time following Axel whose part of a merc company named the BERSERKERZ. He's a man giving a job that's almost guaranteed to fail, and to hamper him more he gets stuck with a planetary forces commander thats egging him on in the worse ways. He makes sacrifices while trying to get the job done. all in all pretty dang good. I do wish it followed rizer but if all of these books will be new sub stories then I guess I can't wait to see what he does.

Mil Sci-fi at its Finest.

I showed up here because I listen to a lot of Galaxy’s Edge, Warhammer, Ember War, and all those big title series. This one and the rest of the series were initially a time killer while I waited for more “big titles”. Well, this is as good as any mil sci-fi out there, give it a listen. Top notch it my book.

The author knows his stuff.

His military experience shows throughout the book. I’d love to read more about CPT Axle. I may like him better than 2LT Reiser.
Narrator is fantastic.
Highly recommended.
