My new favorite sci-fi!

I am an avid sci-fi and fantasy listener and fairly picky about what/who I listen to. In the last 3 years I’ve happily discovered Craig Alanson’s worlds as well as lots of other great work like the Omega Force books. But I can categorically state no other author’s ideas have grabbed me like Marc Stevens’. His AI isn’t quirky or hostile, but instead a deep character. His alien’s are more genuinely other than most authors while being diverse AND they are written deeply enough to be accessible rather than just plain weird—and characters within each race are well differentiated. His situations are crazy and full of action. His outcomes don’t lead to much despair, so pleasantly unrealistic concerning friendly battle losses. His hero is a wonderfully flawed and frustrated young human male. His heroine is vastly the hero’s superior in maturity and intellect. Their foil is her equal but duplicitous and inscrutable. Their team, allies and to a lesser extent enemies are a rich milieu of personalities, cultures, motives and ethics that just works. As narrator, Ramon does a good job overall and earns full marks. While not the very best on Audible, he certainly is in the top 5% in the genre. Highly recommended!

Great addition to the series!

Book 2 continues to be a great story and better than the first (in my opinion). Looking forward to many more in this series!

Great book Piss poor narrator

Take the time and get this book from the kindle store and read it for yourself. I like this story, the worlds, the politics and how things are heading. Is it perfect, no but it was a very entertaining read.

But please safe your ear drums and skip the audio book.

Our MCs are all jerks

The main point of this series seems to be setting up situations where our main characters can engage in brutal, bloody, carnage. It gets old after a while. And while our MCs are supposedly engaging in a noble cause, they enjoy murder far too much to reflect healthy personalities. People in real life will sometimes do what's necessary to protect the innocent, but they generally don't take great pleasure in committing violence against other human beings.

Other than delight in violence, our MC doesn't show much else in the way of personality, nor do any of the other supporting characters. Not only do I fail to like them, I actively dislike them. I'd kinda like to see where the story arc goes, but not enough to spend any more time with these characters.

I really enjoyed it.

Don't miss this series, it's fantastic!! The narration was pulled you right into the book, Ramon De Ocampo did a incredible job. Marc Stevens is becoming my favorite sci-fi writer, thank you for this book.

Good enough for me to invest in the rest of the series

I’ve been surprised by how much I have actually enjoyed the series so far. Yes, the characters can be a little one-dimensional but it’s great fun, and there’s hardly a dull moment.

Not too bad but main character is a little OP

Main character is over powered which means nothing ever really goes wrong. The concept of the inner demon being hard to control is laboured a little too hard. Some pretty obvious misogyny as well with repeated comments about female characters needing to get laid to make them nicer people.

Other than that not too bad and the story is fairly engaging.

Space Opera

This is a real space opera, lots of drawn out talks bout feelings and not much action, by the end I was bored with it, needs more punch for me to get invested any further.

Epic Space Opera

Battle Armour, A.I, Non Humanoid Aliens, Space Battles. This book and series has it all. Fast paced and brutal combat mixed in with some of the funniest sarcasm I've ever heard. This series is shaping up to be one of my all time favourite sci-fi series.

Top notch story and narration

Yes, it can be a bit long winded at times but if that's your thing, read David Weber, he's a past master at it and Marc Stevens is a learner by comparison.

putting that aside, this story arc is terrific and has excellent narration.

A few words here and there are used incorrectly but that seems to be a theme with Ebooks these days. I suppose it's too much to ask an author to use proper word checks instead of the rather stupid autocorrect.
