Resumen del Editor

"We require a different battlefield."

Nobody expected the war to last three hours, let alone three years. The star system of Archangel holds the line against invading corporate fleets, but a quarter of its territory is already lost. The navy can't hang on much longer. Faced with this grim truth, Archangel's leaders shift their strategy to diplomacy and espionage. For both arenas, they call upon a reluctant weapon: a frontline grunt named Tanner Malone.

These days Tanner doesn't aspire to win the war. He merely wants to survive it. Now he'll be thrust into the center of events once again, pulled back and forth from covert missions to the media spotlight. Yet with every battle, he gets closer to the old enemy hidden in the shadows and the ugly truth about the war that could unravel everything Archangel might hope to win.

Interesting naritive Concept.

I have enjoyed the over all concept of this book series. I had no trouble getting into the story. I also am currently re listening to the book.
If you liked the series, Undying Mercenaries, Old Man's War, Expeditionary Force, give it a try.

Good ending

A worthy conclusion to the trilogy.
Some of it a bit to convenient but very enjoyable.

Debt forgiveness on the cheap

Dead Man's Debt is the 3rd installment in Elliott Kay's Poor Man series. Kay has crafted a universe with multiple settled worlds some of which are controlled entirely by corporations. Economic growth and development are heavily dependent on consumer spending resulting in most people in debt over their heads and beholden to those corporations. When one planet decides to rebel against the system, war results. Tanner Malone is the reluctant hero who manages to always find himself in the midst of the actions and both loved and hated at the same time. A mixture of action scenes, space pirates, and espionage makes for an engaging tale.

The sci-fi elements are unremarkable and expected including spaceships capable of traversing interstellar distances, along with standard advanced weapons. The real draw of the tale is the implementation of economic and political systems that mirror many of today's current situations, but placed in a technologically advanced society. At the same time, Tanner Malone is an intriguing character who is buffeted by all sides, but always manages to make the right decisions. As such, he is the fan favorite "little guy" who manages to best the big shots, regardless of whether they are for or against him.

The narration is well executed with a solid range of voices, along with good pacing.

More of Tanner Malone

These series stayed playing on my phone! It had a super narrator which kept me glued to the story!

Another fantastic adventure with Tanner Malone

I had been waiting for this, it was absolutely amazing, while at the same time it made you think about what had been lost in the course of the story. Never just a war novel, Tanner brings the fight home with his personality and his refusal, regardless of the circumstance, to be ok with everything he must do.

Mr. Pabon narrated excellently, his characters are varied and well voiced. I couldn't have listened to it with another narrator, great job!

Great Scifi

I loved everything shit this book, the narration was great, and they story kept kept me on my toes.

Fun for spacies

Any additional comments?

Elliott Kay is a FANTASTIC reader! He's spectacular with varying voices and different accents. Easily switches between male and female voices. Will definitely listen to more books done by Elliott.

Great end of to the sequence. I hope we see more.

Each novel in this series is better than the last. The hidden depth to the plotting comes full circle here. The bad guys aren't purely bad and the good guys aren't purely good. In fact, the author could have ended series in triumph without touching any further on the criminality that may have been necessary to ensure such a victory. He doesn't. Nobody gets off the easy way. As has been the case all along in the series, the characters are well developed and not static, the politics are more mature and the description of corporate intrigue are given more thought than the generic corporate bad guy in an SF novel. Oh, and the battles continue to be fast paced and brutal.

Continues to be excellent

this series continues to deliver crazy action, well-built tension, and at the same time addresses tough questions surrounding the entire conflict.

I can't say enough!

When I 1st started listening to the book it was jus too slow and I almost gave up but after the training fight with gunny and Malone I was hooked. And the narrator is so freaking talented.!! It's unbelievable how he can change the tone, and emotions of characters, Tim, sir thank you so much for narrating this book. I can't wait till I listen to other books u narrate.
