excellent

good book with lots of twists and turns. recommend it to mitary science fiction buffs.

Another exciting installment

The fight to survive long enough to find a way out of the sub-verse was touch-and-go on multiple battle encounters. Such was the ferocity of the Brood, the reluctance of the Scion (their reluctant ally) and the double danger of the enemy's ability to force-turn defenders into enemy monsters.

Scott Bartlett and Joshua James made the protagonist side more real by providing ample backstory on some of the secondary characters for listener investment, only to find them fall during future battle encounters. Husher also continues to delay disciplining his XO, Shota, until later in the novel. Even given that Husher is a pragmatic leader, it was still a bit unrealistic to give his XO this much leeway; especially considering that Husher is a 60 year old Captain veteran.

The story was crafted so well that even until the very end, one couldn't be absolutely sure who would survive, even among the MCs.

Mark Boyett continues to perform to his usual premier level.

What a wild ride!

Couldn't stop listening, fell asleep but finished this morning. pretty much action packed but character development is not ignored. If you're looked for military space it's you can't go wrong with this selection but it will help to read or listen to Book 1 first especially because you may feel compelled to do so after getting into the story.
if you're a fan off Scott Bartlett, don't think twice about starting this series, you won't be disappointed. I'm not familiar with Joshua James but this turned out to be an excellent writing collaborate with no obvious gaps at all
Narration is just what you expect from Mark Boyett, easy to listen to but never flat.

Powerful second story in what looks to be epic

Husher and crew battle it out in a pocket universe against evil Husher, its absolutely awesome!
narration and writing are excellent as always, what a pair, now im out of reading material.

great series

can't wait for the next one. awesome series and we'll worth the time to listen to.
