Story4.5 out of 5 stars 769
Few know the warship’s actual name. But everyone has heard the rumors. The PUV James Keeling can do something no other vessel in existence can do—slip into another dimension, travel undetected, then re-emerge onto our plane and surprise enemy targets. But the thing that makes the Crypt unique also makes it a nightmare for those onboard; interdimensional travel causes hallucinations, violent behavior, and psychotic breakdowns. Keeling could be the Union’s greatest weapon, a game-changing asset that can defeat the bloodthirsty zealots of the Purist Nation, the Union’s mortal enemy.

They were the Savages. Raiders from our distant past. Elites who left Earth to create tailor-made utopias aboard the massive lighthuggers that crawled through the darkness between the stars. But the people they left behind on a dying planet didn't perish in the dystopian nightmare the Savages had themselves created: they thrived, discovering faster-than-light technology and using it to colonize the galaxy ahead of the Savages, forming fantastic new civilizations that surpassed the wildest dreams of Old Earth.

Nicknamed "Mini-Man" for his diminutive stature, a mere five-foot-three and 125 pounds in his flight boots, chopper pilot Ron Alexander proved to be a giant in the eyes of the men he rescued from the jungles and paddies of Vietnam. With an unswerving concern for every American soldier trapped by enemy fire, and a fearlessness that became legendary, Ron Alexander earned enough official praise to become the second most decorated helicopter pilot of the Vietnam era. Yet, for Ron, the real reward came from plucking his fellow soldiers from harm's way, giving them another chance to get home alive.

When it first appeared, A Rumor of War brought home to American readers, with terrifying vividness and honesty, the devastating effects of the Vietnam War on the soldiers who fought there. And while it is a memoir of one young man's experiences and therefore deeply personal, it is also a book that speaks powerfully to today's students about the larger themes of human conscience, good and evil, and the desperate extremes men are forced to confront in any war.

Great read
Sci-fi, comedy, history, military, alternate reality, and zombies are your thing, you need to read the Necron series!
You've gone from training to being a part of the action! This book has more action and adventure in it than the first one. However, don't skip the first because it has important background info! I read the audiobook and enjoy the wishes way of reading this series.
A reanimation of dead people becoming soldiers to help save the planet, their families and more! All of these are short dreads, so if you are in a reading slump, or aren't sure what to read next, definitely check this series out! I can't wait to keep reading it. And was always Oliver delivered!

Good Follow-Up in Necron Saga!
Great follow-up, plenty of action, enjoyed use of humor and character development.
Enjoyed tie-ins with history and classical literature where appropriate.
Some gritty language usage though, seems appropriate for Marines but may be offensive to some.
Craig Munns is definitely ‘hitting his stride’ as a narrator, doing a good job and even gets to sing as part of his delivery!
