Publisher's summary

For more than a century, Winged Hussars has been the richest of Earth's mercenary companies, as well as the only one to specialize in space warfare. Led by Alexis Cromwell, they have carved out a reputation in the galaxy for being dependable, unflappable, and lethally efficient. Until people began shooting at them everywhere they went.

Rick Culper left Earth in the hopes of finding a job as a merc. A natural at fighting in the armed suits known as CASPers, he finally caught on with one of the premier Four Horsemen companies, but it's with the Winged Hussars, and the company's prospects are beginning to look bleak.

Traps have been laid throughout a number of systems, and Commander Alexis Cromwell and her flagship, Pegasus, will be hard-pressed to make it back to their secret base. Even with Rick's help, the situation is much worse than anyone in the Hussars could have imagined. The Four Horsemen are being hunted, and the Hussars's future is dark. But there's one thing Alexis's enemies didn't count on - Alexis Cromwell is nobody's prey.

Great story, weird performance

This series has a particular style as you’ve learned listening up to this point, the narrator is different from the other two books we’ve heard and pronounced things differently than both of them with an extremely slow and strange cadence. Maybe this doesn’t bug people but this is a far cry from my favorite narrator that did cartwrights cavaliers. The story was good as is to be expected but I’m a little nervous going into the Golden Horde as it’s the same narrator and I won’t get to hear the original until the short story compilation after so here’s hoping the last one doesn’t get botched as well.

A Fantastic Addition to The Series.

Had me entertained from beginning to end. Space combat at it's best . I enjoyed how the book explored more of the horsemans universe.

slow in the beginning but finishes strong.

the book starts kinda slow and semi confusing but it really picks up and finishes strong. although i delt it could have been shorter by the time you're half way I to it you won't care anymore.

Good story

Seemed like the audio was redubbed after the original recording. Was just very odd way to listen to

Space battles!

This one is a departure from the previous 2 in that it resolves mostly in space. I really like seeing this different setting. Looking forward to more from the hussars

Great book series

obvious the author has military experience, also obvious the narrator does not. Mk = "mark", sop = "S-O-P". Not overly an issue, just as bit of a distraction. Overall a great series.

narrator makes it a drag

Great world, great plot, but this narrator is garbage. I finished it only because of the plot

Great world

The author did a great job telling a solid story in an extremely complex world. Action was also first-rate.

Two strikes and a home run.

Another good thread in the Revelation cycle, looking forward to the next book to finish the introduction of the universe. Voice over could have been much better. The voice actor wasn't very dynamic, and there are jarringly clear instances where recordings on different equipment or settings were spliced in, and not to artistic effect.

Excellent story of epic space and space marines!

Excellent battles! Both ship to ship and marine boarding actions. All of excellent well written aliens that we have come to expect in the 4HU!
