Renegades

Expeditionary Force, Book 7

De: Craig Alanson

Narrado por: R.C. Bray

The battle-scarred star carrier Flying Dutchman is finally on her way back to Earth, after an exceptionally successful series of missions that have once again saved the world.

The ship needs a serious refit, and her exhausted crew just wants a break from constant clandestine warfare against a vicious and superior enemy. Wishes come true, right? Not for the Merry Band of Pirates.

Includes special bonus note from the author.

meh

Blah blah blah monkey gets into trouble, fights with beer can, wacky idea. omg we really almost died that time. repeat. love the series want to know more about the elders and the universe your creating here.

another great book

wish we could get the next books faster ... I'll keep reading if he will keep writing

Great Series but Formulaic

I love this series but it's getting very formulaic. The stories about the Flying Dutchman (as opposed to the stories centered on Paradise) follow a very set pattern. Impossible problem-Skippy and Joe insult each other-Huge set back- more insults- deus ex machina-new problem- Audible hopes you enjoyed this program.
If it weren't for the amazing world building I dont know if I would have made it through this one. Hoping the next one breaks the pattern.

Craig delivers... again! R.C. rocks too

Well, for all the stupid monkeys familiar with the exploits of Joe and Skippy, I'll summarize with the statement that I both love and HAAAAAATE Craig for this book - love him because he delivered a book on par with my lofty expectations of the Expeditionary Force series, because he dropped subtle and not-so-subtle scifi reference easter eggs all over the place - AGAIN, love him because he hinted at some things likely to be revealed in the next book or two with very interesting one-liners from Skippy that you'd miss if you weren't paying close attention (like when he says near the end of the book the Maxholx musings about the humans would confirm some things he was wondering about the origins of humans himself). That last one is also why I currently HAAAAATE you, Craig. I have to wait months before I can even READ what happens next in Armageddon - forget about how much longer beyond THAT until I can hear Bob's vocal awesomeness bring it to life! What shall I do with myself for the next few months?! I really hope I don't bite my nails clean off in anxiety-induced manic anticipation.

For those not exposed to Skippy the Magnificent, Colonel Joe, or the Merry Band of Pirates, and with no context for what the HELL I just wrote above, go read Columbus Day by Craig Alanson. You'll thank me later, shmaybe. Or, you'll hate your life, and me, for the new addiction you have no control over. Totally my fault.

another awesome book

it was great to hear about the author's backstory about how the books came about.
