Resumen del Editor

The key to saving humanity—or dooming it—is in the hands of the enemy.

Veteran mech operator Sergeant Major Shaw spent his career fighting huge monsters known as Sentinels. He never expected that he would be piloting them.

But as a new war unfolds, Shaw finds himself and his team using this unorthodox technology in a desperate attempt to save the New World Republic from destruction. The Principality of the Seven Sons has control of an ancient Progenitor dreadnaught rumored to have the power to enslave and destroy empires. No one is safe.

Not even Shaw and his Deadmen.

The Principality has resurrected the worst of the Progenitor weapons, infecting entire planets with a bio-engineered disease called the Scourge. With the Scourge and the dreadnaught poised to destroy the NWR, the fate of mankind is dark.

There is only one hope for survival. One mission so dangerous, so impossible that only a single team is suited for it. The Deadmen.

Pacific Rim meets Starship Troopers in Scourge, the third book in the Deadmen’s War series.

The Deadmen's War series is now performed by Mark Boyett, narrator of the bestselling sci-fi series Undying Mercenaries.

great read, again!

I love this story and especially partial to the characters and their use (piloting) of the sentinels and the associated battles. I have always been a fan of this type of scifi. took a bit to adjust to a change in narrator but hoping the absolute best for Mr Bray as he deals with health issues and I appreciate Mr Boyett for continuing this series. Audible format suits me best (I do a lot of driving) so I'm very glad to be able to continue with this series!

Narrator poor, need RC Bray

Story was excellent. Narration was poor, I had to listen at 1.2x speed to even tolerate narrators poor speaking mannerisms.

Rough narration team

The narration team voices were terrible. This was a let down from the first 2 books. If you start with RC Bray, then finish the series with RC Bray.

RC ?????

Series is great but as the other person mentioned without RC on this one I’m having trouble getting into it. This narrator goes from quiet to full blown screaming the next. I’m constantly adjusting the volume. Also, his voice doesn’t bring the characters alive like RC. I can’t tell one person from the next without being told. Not the worst narrator I’ve heard but he’s definitely not right for this series. Would pay 3x the amount for an RC bray version…. Not sure if I’ll finish this one until then.

Meh, at best

Yet another series which changed narrators - doesn’t work. Completely different feel. Just couldn’t get into the story or care about the outcome.

You Should Have Paid More For RCB

Overall, the story is fun. The narrator was a bit rough. He was not committed.

GooD

This book has a good story and narrator gave an excellent performance. Recommend to others.

Amazing story, narrator changed b/c of health

PLEASE READ -- be human and take a minute to not jump to conclusions on the narrator changing. This series is incredible, and I cannot wait to read the next 3 in the series. I'm a fan of Bray's narration work as well as everyone, but I do know that the narrator had to be changed this book due to the original narrator's health issues-- not a willy nilly $ or time decision like others were presuming. Good ole social media lets you do a little extra research if you choose to take a second before ransacking and negatively reviewing someones career work. Anthony was very transparent in his comments. I appreciate as a reader that he is active to kindly shedding light into what is going on behind the scenes. It's super disappointing reading people's assumptions, I have followed Anthony's work since The Tide series, and don't think it's fair to jump to conclusions, rate his work down, because the narrator changed when it's not up to the author -- especially in this scenario. I'm in the creative world too, and wrongful assumptions like this can wreak tragedy over one's work when we really don't know the layers underneath; I'd suggest being human here and focus on the story, the author's story, not the narrator when I can imagine this was ultra stressful for the author having to switch out narrators. I do not envy that position.

Very much enjoyed!

I always enjoy the combined science and action in Anthony's books. The Deadman's series is one of my favorites and really takes off in this third installment. Mark Boyett did a great job taking over for RC Bray who I saw had health issues preventing him from continuing the series. I'm in this one to the end, can't wait for the next book!

Love this series

First off, if someone needs to take the baton from RC Bray, Mark Boyett is the only man for the job. Thank you Mark, great work. Enjoying this series
