Mission Creep

Undead Marine, Book 3

De: J.N. Chaney, Jonathan P. Brazee

Narrado por: Roger Wayne

As more and more special operators are resurrected with their mycelia and joining the Undead, the powers that be begin to "borrow" the Marines for missions beyond their stated scope. Particularly galling to Sergeant Paxton Alejo is when they're assigned a mission against supposed human traitors, especially when the reek of politics belies the integrity of the missions. He might be uneasy, but all of this is above his paygrade, so Pax marches on, doing his duty. There are continuing rumors of androids in the press that seems to focus on the Undead, so the Marines in the brigade are surprised when they're tasked to train Internal Security Agency operators to conduct joint military ops. The ISA's mission is to ferret out internal threats to the League of Humanity. How can the Undead maintain their secrecy while working so closely with them?

Meanwhile, there's that small issue of a galaxy wide war with the alien Tucanans, and the Tucs seem to be closing the net around the Undead. All Hell breaks loose when the enemy strikes, and the Undead, along with the still untrained ISA operators, have no live ammunition to fight back with. As the Tucanans close in on them, loss feels inevitable. The Undead experiment could be over, and all of Humanity could follow and shatter. But a Marine never gives up.

Space Opera meets the Undead

I loved this series! It's a refreshing twist to your typical undead zombies and alien vs military scene. Don't get me wrong, I'm all about the flesh eating, apocalyptic story line! But don't turn away from this series if that's also your gig because this one was really fun!

Continues !

To read as story continues, to read how this story grows it is phenomenal. Waiting for each is always with it

Really really good.

If you’re reading this you are probably already hooked on the series, but if you’re on the fence spend that credit (or buy it outright like I did). You’ll be glad you did.

Attention to detail.

Great understanding of military knowledge and tactics fused into and through the story. Much appreciated. Sempre Fi! Uuuuurah!!!

Great tactical detail

I live the way the author makes an effort to explain small unit and unit tactics. I also enjoy the description of daily life in the marines outside a battle zone
