Gateway

Expeditionary Force, Book 18

By: Craig Alanson

Narrated by: R.C. Bray

Disaster.

There was no other word to describe how Operation Olympic had changed in a flash from a triumph to the worst failure the Merry Band of Pirates had ever experienced. A failure that meant the fight was over. Unless the Pirates could perform a miracle, without Skippy.

The Expeditionary Force saga continues with Gateway from epic sci-fi writer Craig Alanson and narrated by none other than R.C. Bray.

they story and the narration are still so strong

have to wait for the next book. it will be too long before it comes out

exciting

What a whirlwind of exciting twists and turns. the narrator does an awesome job bringing the characters to life.
I can't wait for the next book.

This one surprised me

As always, it’s been greatly entertaining to listen to Joe, Skippy and the gang go from one shenanigan to another. Having said that, around the middle of the book the story kinda got “stuck in a loop” and it felt like wasted time. But then, surprisingly, it picked up pace and reached to a conclusion (=next big cliffhanger) which I thought would be pushed to the next book, so overall satisfying read.

Skippy The Magnificent

Another great book. Can't get enough and can’t wait to find out what happens next. I want spoil anything but there is a huge cliffhanger at the end of this one.

Skippy not believing in Joe's awesomeness.

I have listened to all 18 books twice. When one comes out, I listened to the previous one. Thank you for the (mis)adventures of Joe, Skippy and the Merry Band of Pirates.
