Federation Marine 2: Sergeant

De: Jonathan P. Brazee

Narrado por: Sean Pratt

At last, Sergeant Ryck Lysander has found a home in the United Federation Marine Corps, and has proven the temper of his steel in combat.

Stepping up as an NCO, however, is something different. It isn’t enough to be an effective warrior. He has to be able to lead his fellow Marines, all without doubting his own abilities.

Failing will not only lead to his own death, but to those under his command. The responsibility is heavy, and the cost of losing is high.

At the same time, an old ally becomes a new enemy, thrusting Ryck into a life and death situation where success or failure rides on his shoulders.

The question he must answer for himself is whether he has what it takes to lead...or if he should have stayed a recruit after all.

Witness the second entry in the Federation Marine series from USA Today best-selling author Jonathan P. Brazee. If you're a fan of Sentenced to War, Old Man's War, or Starship Troopers, this is the series for you.

great story

i love the great story telling of Ricks growth in the marines and the hardshios of promotions.

a great story, poor engineering

Jonathan brazee has created another great story from the point of view of serious military. it is a challenge when the sound engineering for the narration is poor. The previous book things were fine this recording every few sentences suddenly has a completely different engineering and background sounds and then it goes back to normal. I suggest you don't listen to this with headphones.

So damn good!

I listened to the original version of this book and Recruit awhile ago before Brazee collaborated with Chaney on a refresh of this wonderful story. Book 1 and this book are just really damn good. They remind me of the really dang good Sentenced to War series - which I’ve listened all the way through (15 books) twice now.
From what I’ve read in some of the reviews, there are some wondering where the original books went and are butt hurt somehow. Screw them. Buy this or drop a credit AFTER you go listen to the refreshed book Recruit. There’s a different feel to these refreshed books than the originals. A good feel.
Note to the authors: hurry up now. I’m ready to binge listen to the rest now.

Pretty good story

Characters are interesting and I was completely engaged with them on their struggle throughout the conflict

Story moves very slowly

Performance is good, despite a slow story. Main character internalized thoughts go on tangent after tangent in the heat of a battle or an action sequence. I fast forwarded several times throughout the book

It’s boring as hell

The story line stagnates into a perpetual snooze fest and is good to play in the background while sleeping
