De: Ross Buzzell

Narrado por: Todd McLaren

With an 85 percent dropout rate, find the strength within or go home.

So far, Officer Candidate School is living up to its cutthroat reputation. Still, the merciless mental, physical, and psychological torture may be worth it for Lance Warder to have a chance to fight in space.

The space that awaits isn't for the faint of heart. He'll have to shed his mental chains to prove his mettle. Because no one cares who your father is when you're faced with unknown threats in a dark, infinite void.

To help deal with the everyday grind of survival, evasion, resistance, and escape training, Lance will join a boxing league and even find himself in the middle of a mysterious AI takeover that may spell doom for mankind.

liked it

entertaining story even though book 1 was only the boot camp, but unlike other stories, the MC comes from a military family and doesn't have the tegular struggles of not knowing what he signed up for

Good build

This book is a good foundation for what comes next. I like the idea of joint boot camp, and that you went with marine corps boot camp. The exercises were a bit light. But the real ones don’t translate to text well. I didn’t go officer though, so…

Excellent story, great narration

Interesting story, great action, characters that are arresting and relatable. Looking forward to the next one!

just skip the first 3 hours

just skip the first 3 hours. if I was reading this I would have put the book down.

Basic training by someone who has clearly NEVER been to basic training.

The story is OK. It isn't unreadable and the characters are interesting. This author however has clearly never served in the military. You don't get to go on dates with nurses and have time off in basic training or OTC. And the SERE training was completely ridiculous. Lance was knocking out guards and breaking out of stuff. The first thing we were told on the first day of SERE, "if we hit you it's training, if you hit us it's assault." I will probably try the second book, but if this continues I won't get the third.
