Shock Action

Drop Trooper, Book 7

De: Rick Partlow

Narrado por: James Patrick Cronin

Cam is a Marine, not a spy.

That’s what he keeps trying to tell Fleet Intelligence. But when he and Vicky signed back up, they agreed to follow orders. And their orders are to keep working for the Corporate Security Force, and find out what the private paramilitary force knows about Zan-Thint, and his plans to use Predecessor technology against the Commonwealth.

The trouble is, the CSF doesn’t seem to care about Zan-Thint anymore. They send Cam and Vicky, and a crew of mercenary Drop Troopers, to an isolated mining world called Portent. Their job? To put down a rebellion by wildcat miners who don’t want the Corporate Council stealing the fruits of their labor. Somehow, they’ve been able to hire the baddest mercenaries in the Commonwealth, to hold onto their planet.

Stuck leading a crew of cutthroat mercenaries - who want nothing more than to slaughter the wildcat miners, and take their rhenium ore - facing down an even more cutthroat band of mercenaries who’ll kill anyone they consider a threat, Cam and Vicky try to negotiate a course between the two, and figure out who’s actually paying the mercenaries, and why the Corporate Council is really interested in a backwoods rhenium mine.

Because nothing on Portent is as it seems.... And their allies might be just as ready to kill them, as their enemies.

Book 7 in the Amazon best-selling Drop Trooper series by Rick Partlow is here. It's military sci-fi, the way it's supposed to be!

Another great chapter

In the saga of Cam and Vicky!! Lots of action, adventure and combat!! Now on to book 8

great story

lots of unhanded stuff and more losses. can he make it through the next stage in his life guess we will all find out.

Worth your time.

There’s a part of me that wants to give all 5s like I did the first 4 books. I still really enjoy this series and if you’ve made it this far in the series you’re of course going to listen to this one.
I can’t imagine anybody else performing this series. James Patrick Cronin nails it.

A must listen.

I wish I would have rated the previous books. Rick Partlow really knows how to engage reader and James Patrick Cronin’s performance really keeps the listener tuned in. The whole Drop Trooper series so far has been an awesome ride.
If you like Space SYFI these books could be right for you.

getting to be redundant

The story feels like a regurgitation of the previous one. some passages are repeated word for word in the story. the Vicki not happy thing is repeated several times.
