The Kaelen Extraction

A Billy Firebrand Adventure (The Galaxy's Worst Mercenaries, Book 1)

De: Skyler Ramirez

Narrado por: Bill Lewis

Once, they were the galaxy’s most fearsome mercenaries…

A lot has changed since then. Still, a friend is a friend. So, when one of their old crewmates dies under mysterious circumstances, the infamous Billy Firebrand calls the old crew back together for one last mission. With a busted ship, a lifetime’s worth of demons, and a galactic war on the line, they’ll face odds they probably couldn’t have beaten in their prime.

These days… they don’t stand a chance.

Ride with Billy, Shotgun, Stick, El, and Mouth as the galaxy’s worst mercenaries face impossible odds, hidden enemies, and… hybrid flying squirrel baboons?

Fans of The Worst Ship in the Fleet and Rogue Agent will love this new series full of swashbuckling adventure, witty banter, and plenty of sci-fi fun. Tag along with this crew of has-beens as they redefine what it means to be heroes (and not always in a good way). Set in the fan-favorite universe of Dumb Luck and Dead Heroes, you don't need to have listen to that series to fully enjoy this action-packed full-length novel.

Worth the (free) price

Greatly enjoyed this book about a band of misfit mercenaries in the style of Douglas Adams. The Characters stay true and the story kept me engaged.

Amazing story! Loved the intwerweaving of tales.

This might be the most fun book I have read in 2025. You will love this Billy firebrand tale if you enjoy fun sci-fi with good characters and interesting humorous upbeat battles.

Super fun!

Loved it. The cast (especially El) and the story rocked- totally worth a credit.

A fun listen

It reminds me of the old Doc Savage books I read as a kid but the characters are funny and more than a little nuts. Lots of dialogue and the story jumps from one crazy situation to another.

Corny but good

Despite what the person who gave it 1 star said, it is not religious propaganda. The entire book mentioned any sort of religious belief exactly twice. I think it is only a 4 star book but gave it 5 stars because of the idiot who gave it 1 star.

With that being said, this is a corny book. However, it was a good break from the hard science fiction books that I love.
