Nice new story line

I like it.
A new angle that is closer to our present reality.
I did order the second book
As always Boyett excels

Good book worth a credit

This is a pretty good book . Wish it was longer but it was worth the credit . I am definitely getting book two .

Another great book from BV

I can't wait for the next in this series. BV and Mark make a great team.

Terrible story and plot

Very basic and boring. Writing is so simple that one looses interest within 30 minutes of listening. Gave it a few chances but couldn’t justify returning to it after 3rd try…

good read!

enjoyed setting out on a new space adventure series. Mark boyett as usual delivers!

Great story of rock rat becoming a space marine.

Loved the story of the rock rat becoming a red company marine. Then his adventures on a deep space mission. Looking forward to the next book.

Seems like intended for young readers

Seems like this book is for young readers, Follow along with this good, naive-but-fast-learning, socially-challenged but upward climbing person as he chooses between right and wrong each day during his fun space adventures. Not aimed at me, even given Mark Boyett’s always entertaining narration, but probably perfectly on target for the intended audience.

Promising new series, could be longer

Liked the book. Doesn't feel like it's a rehash of the author's other scifi series.

Story

As with most of the Larson books with his reader, it’s excellent interesting, and captures and retains your attention throughout the book

Low intellect space sci fi

I was hoping this would be more like undying mercenaries but this storyline is really basic and the main character has a particularly moronic way with of speaking.
