Grunt Life

Task Force Ombra Series, Book 1

De: Weston Ochse

Narrado por: Todd McLaren

Benjamin Carter Mason died last night. Maybe he threw himself off a bridge into Los Angeles Harbor, or maybe he burned to death in a house fire in San Pedro; it doesn't really matter. Today, Mason's starting a new life. He's back in boot camp, training for the only war left that matters a damn.

For years their spies have been coming to Earth, learning our weaknesses. Our governments knew, but they did nothing - the prospect was too awful, the costs too high - and now the horrifying and utterly inhuman Cray are laying waste to our cities. The human race is a heartbeat away from extinction. That is unless Mason and the other men and women of Task Force OMBRA can do anything about it.

This is a time for heroes. For killers. For Grunts.

Ochse is awesome

Enjoyed listening to this on Audible. Going to get the next one today and listen on a drive.

Interesting

Narration was great, story was very different. Characters were easy to become involved with. Recommended.

Pass on this series

At points, the story was entertaining, but as a former Infantryman, so many things were just wrong. The story also needed an editor.. too much repetition, too many contradictions, terrible pontificating speeches, and all sorts of nonsense. The whole series was subpar, and not worth paying for.

Good, bad, and ugly but never great.

The book was all over the place but every time I was starting to get into it the author would add a twist that was unnecessary and would take away from the story.

DULL BLAND BORING DREARY STUPID & RIDICULOUS

What a dumb book! The character names and the attempt at blending a bunch of nationalities into a single cohesive fighting force is so poorly thought out and crappily delivered that it throws the entire plot into stupid and ignorant territory! This is what happens when you let bad authors write above their station and you have horrible narrators thinking they actually know what they are doing! If you put crap in, you get crap coming out!! This book is total crap, garbage, trash! Ive read better stories written on public restroom walls!!
