Story
The Genevians are at war with Nietzschea...and they’re losing. In a last-ditch hope, the Genevian mech program was founded. Its goal to augment humans into cyborg fighting machines; mechanized warriors sent to hold the front lines against an enemy that was storming a hundred worlds. Yet few wished to undergo the brutal process, and so criminals were used, their minds enslaved by control chips and obedience enforced through discipline.

Story
The Terran Coalition faces repeated and brutal attacks from the repressive League of Sol. To defend his home planet, David trades his dream of becoming a rabbi for a battlefront in the far reaches of space. When particle beams fly, his courage under fire brings quick promotion. But in the lulls between battles when he must confront his soul, David finds a different enemy: the ghosts of those killed under his command. Yet in war, it’s kill or be killed - and the enemy shows no mercy.

Charlie thought building a spaceship had been tough, so being king should be a piece of cake. Unfortunately, it was like a cake made of cement. Hard to swallow, and just might kill him. It was good being king, or so Charlie had believed. After an abrupt crash arrival, people had finally stopped trying to kill him - for the most part, anyway - and his new subjects respected him. Or feared him. It was sort of hard to tell, what, with the ginormous dragon who had eaten the previous king standing right behind him.

Things had started off all right - that is, until a freak wormhole unexpectedly swallowed his ship, leaving him stranded on an unknown planet far, far from home.

The Outcast Marines are the worst of the worst. If you’re conscripted, you will likely spend the rest of your days going on desperate missions that no one else can, or will, do. That’s an option Solomon, Jezzie, Malady, and the other Outcasts gladly took, though, because the alternative was certain death on a remote prison moon. And it’s a good thing too, because sometimes it takes some truly bad guys to save the day. Outcasts of Earth Omnibus is a bundle containing the first three audiobooks in the Outcast Marines series.

Like poop on your shoe, bad luck had a knack for sticking Charlie wherever he went. And it sure did stink. Wormholes to a distant galaxy? Done it. Alien slavery? Yup. Forced gladiatorial combat? That too. Space pirate and eventual rebel leader? Check. Rising to the pinnacle of power as Dragon King? Uh-huh. Charlie, it seemed, had seen and survived it all, and at long last it looked like he’d finally earned himself a little peace and quiet. That is until a whole new threat reared its ugly head.

A great story of love and revenge!
The style of the story and the cleaver way it is narrated immediately takes you to the classic 40's spy tales. It took me a bit to realize that this is set in the future. I appreciated Sahd's rich descriptions of the Assassin's world . There was a nightclub that was presented to the reader with the sensibility of a 5 star meal; seasoned with the perfect amount of detail. I could hear the music playing and picture myself among the dancers. The narrator (Paul Burt) did a remarkable job of voicing the characters. Each one vividly brought to life by him. I want to know what happens to the characters in Assassin Marked because I am now attached to them.

An Assassin’s Love Story
What I liked most about this book was that it contained a very human aspect—the love between two assassins. I didn’t expect this, as in their profession I would assume it to be a weakness, which perhaps it was. But it added a welcome dimension to the story. Sure, there was still plenty of action and bloodshed as should be expected, but this story was much more than that. Something else I liked was that in this futuristic tale, with spaceships and high powered weaponry, that the main character’s weapon of choice was something as rudimentary and vicious as a knife. Finally, I really liked the darkness the narrator lent to the voice of Damien and the world as a whole. It was really gritty and reminded me of Sin City.

interesting, and short
the story works to create a new universe without much detail work. we are entered in what I can assume is a dystopian space exploring future, in which our main character is an assassin who essentially is blacklisted.
I'm hoping for more world development going forward. there were also some inconsistencies with the voice actors narration style and quality that removed me from the story. I feel like had I been reading on paper, it may have been easier to follow.
overall, an interesting story, and I'm curious to see where it goes.
