Edge of Valor

By: Josh Hayes

Narrated by: Marc Vietor

"An action-packed story that gets inside the hearts, minds, and souls of men and women who have dedicated themselves to the protection of all the rest of us...a tour de force." (David Weber, New York Times best-selling author of the Honor Harrington Series)

When their mission fails, his begins.

Special Agent Jackson Fischer is a man after truth. When a military operation to extract a high-ranking ambassador from the war-torn, border-world of Stonemeyer ends in disaster, Fischer is called in to investigate.

A whole platoon went in, but only three Alliance Marines returned home, the rest killed in action along with hundreds of civilians. With tensions between the Holloman Alliance and Stonemeyer rising, Fischer attempts to stitch the pieces together. One thing becomes more and more certain: The surviving Marines are lying.

As the truth unfurls, Fischer begins to realize this was far more than a simple rescue mission...and that the truth might be something best left buried.

Filled with action, mystery, and well-crafted characters, Edge of Valor will pull you into a world of war, conspiracy, and betrayal. It's perfect for fans of David Weber’s Honorverse, or Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan with a futuristic flair.

"Edge of Valor teleports you to the battlefield in a way that few books can. Josh Hayes is a fantastic new voice in the genre." (Nicholas Sansbury Smith, New York Times best-selling author of Hell Divers)

"Josh Hayes writes with a kinetic, exuberant sense of action and excitement. Edge of Valor will captivate readers of military science fiction with its authentic attention to detail and energetic pace." (Jason Anspach, author of Galaxy's Edge)

"A smart, bold story that successfully meshes the unpredictability of a police procedural with the excitement of action-driven military sci-fi. It's a book you won't want to end." (Joshua Dalzelle, USA Today best-selling author of the Black Fleet Saga)

.

An interesting story of an investigator working to unravel a mystery that occurred on another planet with few witnesses remaining. The pacing of the story and narration was very good, definitely would recommend.

Action packed, well-written, superbly narrated

I was hooked from the start. The story is awesome, the characters are well-made, each having their unique voices; the narrator is great!

Space Detective - decent story, well performed

Overall, the story was quite good, and the narrator was excellent. In spite of the fact that the story takes place far in the future, there don't seem to be sufficient details about the futuristic advances that one would expect by that time. Other than that, it was quite entertaining.

military sci-fi

I am not a fan of military sci-fi. too much battle detail. I go numb and then miss when something plot related happens. that said, I liked the main character and would like to continue the story but won't because of the shoot out detail.

standard fare...no surprises

dissected in an interesting way thru interviews but no surprise in the direction of the end results. there were so many characters that i wished for a book (instead of an audio) where i could flip back the pages to review a character's name. narrator had a good listening voice but characters did tend to sound similar with so many male players.
