Cavalier's Gambit 2

Cavalier's Gambit, Book 2

De: William D. Arand

Narrado por: Daniel Wisniewski, Rebecca Woods

Wayne dreamed of piloting a thirty-foot-tall walking robot that was closer to a battle tank than anything else.

They were called Walkers. They were armed with laser cannons, rockets, missiles, and heavy kinetic weapons more similar to artillery pieces than guns, and everything that went with that.

Unfortunately, he had been declined military service. His only avenue left to become a Walker Pilot was to make it happen all on his own. And he did just that. He became a true Cavalier, was wounded, gained squad mates, and founded the House of Hesh.

Now, the universe is shifting faster than Wayne can even keep up with. He freed his home world and became a national hero, only to find that what had been an opening move in his life, from going from a nobody to a somebody, was only the starting point to an "interesting life."

A war inside the Confed is brewing. One that is going to draw every corner of the Confed into it. Somehow, Wayne is already managing to put himself front and center for it. Both as a spectator...

...and a Cavalier.

Narrated in duet style.

Enjoyed mech battles, the development of Wayne's load abilitys and Ai introductions.

I really enjoyed the development of Wayne’s load abilities and the introduction of the AI. The tie in at the end with the Privateer’s Commission characters was a great. The story’s progression felt strong and did a great job pulling together many of the loose threads from the first book. Once again, Rebecca and Daniel delivered a top notch narration performance. My only minor issue is that Tink seemed to take a bit of a back seat this time, she mostly appeared in her role as an exceptional mechanic, with less interaction with the other characters. Not bad by any means, just noticeably less presence.

Great performance, even better story & just keeps getting better

Great characters tied to a better story with great voice acting, hoping for more! While I enjoy all of this author’s (& his various other names) this story and cast of characters really hits home for me!
