short Sci-fi story with Political intrigue

excellent character and world building for a short read/listen. No spoiler here, but a warning of a twisted ending. Enjoy!!

Great start to a series

I received a complimentary audiobook copy of this book from the author. My review is absolutely voluntary. I also read along on my Kindle. The story is great! I like the characters and the sequence of events. Unfortunately, I have to say that the narrator was not a good choice for this book. When she was narrating, she was great, the male voice she used was ok, but the female voice sounded like a 10-year-old girl. Other than that, I look forward to the next book in the series. If the same narrator is used for that one, I will most likely opt for the Kindle edition instead of the audiobook, though.

Great beginning

This is the tenth book I’ve read/listened to by Rachael Ford and the first by both Sara and Judah Ford. Wow! What a varied author. This series is different from from her others I’ve listened to, and they are all different from each other: Traveling Taxman Series, Black Flag Series, Tribari Freedom Chronicles, and An End In Ice.
Several people (various species of aliens) from the Empire are assembled to attempt to destroy a weapon located on a ruined planet. There’s a military captain, doctor and hero, few more for backup, a scientist, reporter and photographer. None of them are aware of the mission details until they are en route. as the group continue to search the compound on the planet, they are becoming more concerned -things don’t seem right. Will any of them make it out?
This book is a great start. I’m intrigued and want to listen to more. There is not a conclusion, instead a surprising twist and lead into the next book.

This is the second book I’ve listened to by this narrator ( Barbara Rich ) and I would listen to another. She has good pacing and voice acting. One of her character voices is very high but I got used to it.

There are no explicit sex scenes, excessive violence or swearing (that I recall).

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and voluntarily left this unbiased review.

great story

great sci-fi wonderful twists and turns can't wait to read the next book in the series. this is definitely worth I'll listen to.

Nice short Sci-Fi

Full disclosure: I received a free review copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

I enjoyed this short little sci-fi novel. It’s interesting and engaging, and looks like it will be a nice start to a series. Great if you don’t want to commit to a long read. I suspect the next books in the series will be longer. It seems like this book will be similar to Rachel Ford’s other series the Tribari Freedom Chronicles, if you enjoyed that series you will likely enjoy this series.

Narration was sufficient, not amazing, not terrible.

Great story with a surprise

I enjoyed this story...and am looking forward to the next one. This is a nice short story that had my attention nearly the whole time.

Good story but a little predictable.

Good story but the twist ending wasn't surprising. Character development was good. Weapons tech was believable.

Good short scify book

This is the first in a series. The authors did a good job building the characters and the group dynamic. The book kept me interested and I appreciated the multiple plot twists. Would recommend.

Great title,

I enjoyed this book, I can not wait for the next book in the series

Sci-fi adventure

Flesh Eaters by Rachel Ford and Judah Ford and narrated by Barbara Rich is an audible book I requested and the review is voluntary. This is a book that has plenty of action and a good start for a series. It does just end, sort of a cliffhanger, ugh! I enjoyed listening to the story plot and characters. I felt the characters were fleshed out well.
The narration was hard to listen to in spots and other areas it was fine. It distracted me from the story several times with the strange voices. 😕 I would have liked a different narrator for this book. I think it would make the story really POP with the right narrator.
