The Knife's Edge

War Eternal, Book 3

By: M. R. Forbes

Narrated by: Jeffrey Kafer

A mission failed... A civilization on the edge of collapse... A dangerous alliance to save it...

Colonel Mitchell "Ares" Williams has never been one to accept failure. While the outcome on Liberty is a crushing setback to his and the Riggers' chances of salvaging the war, there's no time to waste on regret. After all, the mission wasn't a total loss, delivering an unexpected asset in the wake of their defeat - Liun Tio, aka the Knife, a notorious warlord and enemy of the Alliance whose deep-seated mistrust of artificial intelligence and control over what may be the largest free fleet in the galaxy have made him the most important man alive.

If humanity is going to have a chance to survive the Tetron onslaught, Ares and the Knife will need to find a way to work together. But can the two learn to trust one another enough to bring the power of their joint forces to bear against a common enemy? Or will their fragile alliance crumble beneath the weight of personal motives and divergent goals?

As Mitchell and the Riggers will soon discover, the knife's edge cuts both ways.

Impossible to rate a single book.

Books 1 thru 3 are superb Military Scifi with a great plot, characters, and nonstop action. Jeffrey Kafer's performance was by far one of the best I have heard.

I had to listen to books 1 and 2 several times because I got distracted by my personal life daily routines. I didn't rate them because I was the problem, not the books, to be fair.

Could not stop listening!

Excellent listen. Very believable excellent narration. No unbelievable exploits. Lots of good plot twists that I didn’t see coming!👍

ive been sucked in

although my mind wandered when listening, third book and all, i was really into it.

Great Adventure with a Heart

War is bad enough, but will humanoids ever change? Especially when war keeps happening over and over...and over?

HEART WRENCHING, ALMOST TOO HARD TO LISTEN TO.. HAVE TO TAKE IN SPOONFULS

This series is very well written, along with the character development. There are some characters that you love, then hate. Others you hate, then love.
This is definitely not milk toast sci-fi. This is a very emotional ride. There have been times when I had to say, ALL STOP!
BUT, I intend to listen or read the entire series. So well written. And I appreciate that the narrator doesn't try to imitate female voices. He does a proper job of narration. No corny voices required.
