DR:Protagonists coming to terms, self-actualiation

From oven to skillet, having just escaped being entrapped by another mercenary group cpt. Brad, XO Jessica and, whatever position it is he takes, Harris, are immediately stopped by yet another, not the imperial neither the corrotin, star nation's space navy. Having too much heart for the good of them protagonists take on, or is it are forced to take, their first mercenary contract. An independent, economically bare bone farming world has been cordoned by pirates and needs all and any help to deliver aid. Who better than the empires excommunicated dead heroes to do it?

Final chapter introduces female narration for cpt. Jessica's pov. While disliking at first seeing the unorthodox voicing of different cast members change depending on the chapters narrator, continuing to listen couldn't help but to grow to appreciate this narration choice. Makes one keep the fact that each person is unique and views the world through their individual lens of experiences and biochemistry in the forefront throughout the narration. Maybe having aspergers has something to do with it.

Concluding the title with a massive, and I mean MASSIVE, upset to the protagonists, either makes for a 101-predatory marketing practice, to instigate/motivate readers' to continue reading, i.e. purchase the following book in the series, or adds to the unorthodox writing style of Skyler Ramirez that blends horrific emotional trauma with thus far over the top optimism/sarcastic retorts to the deterministic status que of the universe.

Conclusion: 4/5. Listened on Audible included in plus catalogue. Narrated by: Michael Murphy, Madeleine Brolly. The Worst Pirate Hunters in the Fringe quite unexpectedly and on short notices places protagonists in a situation where they have to decide on the nature of their only relatively recently started mutual relationship. Book highlights both to the readers' and the character himself, Brad's actual skills. Introducing new star nation and setting up the characters that will have a major role in later works. Terrible value for the length of the book, buying it with USD- 3.06 $/hour ( 9.99 $ / 03 hrs 16 mins ).

Enjoyable story, interesting characters

This story is very fun and easy to keep up with. Not too deep but definitely has some twists and turns that keep it interesting. I gave it 5 stars because I think people will enjoy it, but let’s be honest, $8.50 for 3 hour audio book is a bit of a rip off.
