Really enjoyed

I read the first three books in the series and listened to this one. Narrator did a great job bringing the characters to life.

Excellent 4th book!

Just finished this and I have to say it is my favorite so far! I loved the story and narration as well. Well written and fun to read! You never know where Sean will end up and how he will get there!

I highly recommend you pick up this !

More fun with these hilarious outcast warriors

I always enjoy the comfort food of these books. It’s just a lot of fun and humor. Several times I cracked up at either the tone of the narrator or the dialogue. I look forward to the condition of their level five evolution.

Loved it!

It was hard to wait for this book after listening to the first 3 at once. It was a great continuation of the story while also leaving a lot of room for more books. I loved the book and can't wait for the next one.

Great follow up to the series!

I really enjoy this series: it is just the right mix of adventure, grittiness and progression. I think the main relationship in the series is pretty unique in a lot of ways, and it makes the story quite a bit more interesting for me. I think the characters are pretty complex, and I always look forward to the next installment of this series on Audible.

Immature Codependent Fantasies

Have you ever encountered (or perhaps seen on Jerry Springer) a codependent couple that has one or both members of the couple display affection by being irrationally violent and merciless to perceived threats to the other member of the codependent couple? If not, this novel will display this dynamic in action, but not in consequence. When the main character decides to stomp around like an angry animal engaging mate-defense mode, he manages to turn differences in opinion between allies into scorched Earth, but instead of the many characters around the idiot justifiably judging him to be an idiot devil baby, they just go along with it.

As a result, I found myself unable to ignore the "man behind the curtain". The Wizard of Oz trick that all authors must maintain to keep the magic of the narrative alive was destroyed by this lack of verisimilitude.

Don't get me wrong. Vengeance fantasies are fun, and characters can indulge in them, but they have to do so in a way that reflects normal human psychology. This might have played well to the trailer park, but I think it is going to leave a large number of the audience groaning.

On the bright side, Gilliland seems to have learned how to narrate female voices by this point in his career and it isn't the audio poison we heard in the first couple of books in this series. Having said that, I found it difficult to understand the Russian accent he used for a certain set of aliens.

Good, light story. Bad narration.

The narrator read EVERYTHING like the characters were screaming, taking away any sense of emotion.
The only reason I'm not getting the next book is because of this.
the story itself was fun. I enjoyed the plot twist between books1 & 2.
