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.

Story
In the 20th century Earth sent probes, transmissions, and welcoming messages to the stars. Unfortunately, someone noticed. The Galactics arrived with their battle fleet in 2052. Rather than being exterminated under a barrage of hell-burners, Earth joined their vast Empire. Swearing allegiance to our distant alien overlords wasn't the only requirement for survival. We also had to have something of value to trade, something that neighboring planets would pay their hard-earned credits to buy. As most of the local worlds were too civilized to have a proper army, the only valuable service Earth could provide came in the form of soldiers....

We were fighting on the wrong side of a war we couldn't win. And that was the good news. The Ruhar hit us on Columbus Day. There we were, innocently drifting along the cosmos on our little blue marble, like the native Americans in 1492. Over the horizon come ships of a technologically advanced, aggressive culture, and BAM! There go the good old days, when humans only got killed by each other. So, Columbus Day. It fits. When the morning sky twinkled again, this time with Kristang starships jumping in to hammer the Ruhar, we thought we were saved.

Publisher's Summary
The scum hiding deep inside the Reach out along galaxy's edge thought they could kill her and not pay the price. For years these hardened killers have run roughshod over the lawless worlds where Republic justice is never as fast as the blaster in your hand and where double-crosses and death are a part of every deal. They thought this time would be no different.
They were wrong.
This time, the Guild sent the legendary bounty hunter Tyrus Rechs.
As the infamous Rechs pursues the men who murdered his colleague, he's hell-bent on justice, heedless of the trail of destruction he leaves across ruined worlds and fantastic gambling meccas alike. Because for Rechs, this isn't just another Guild contract...it's personal.

Tyrus Rechs. The man is an enigma and Requiem delivers more pieces of the puzzle. It's all coming together now. I never thought that a bounty hunters' love story can be so hauntingly and as another reviewer said - achingly - beautiful.
There is plenty of fighting here, but I love it how the blaster fire is blended with melancholy of loss. I read the description of the book and it was like "ok cool!" I listened to the book and it's like "oh wow, stick that dagger in my heart again, that was beautiful..." I did not expect this. By now I know the guys are amazing at combat narrative so I'm quite stunned at the skillful delivery of this emotional tragedy. The very final dialog got my face drenched in tears.
This is one of the best books by this author team and the narrator brought it home.

A must read for any Galaxy’s Edge fans!
A lot of the anthology books have been hit or miss, with the stories ranging from the more traditional space opera styles of yesteryears, or the military science fiction that’s also top notch. This book manages to mesh action and intricate story telling in a way that’s both exhilarating and extremely engrossing.
Ray Porter’s portrayal of Tyrus Rechs helps humanise the man within the mask, whereas the main series and Imperator had us believe that Rechs was a stone-cold man, as Rechs rightfully wanted them to think, Ray Porter’s take on Rechs’ mannerisms and internal dialogue made Rechs feel relatable.
Overall, a great story and great performance.

WOW. Action packed, non stop violence, and just enough tragedy to humanise Rechs for the first time. When an old friend is killed, The T-Rex of the legion must track down her killers on a seedy space station known for violence and vice. A fantastic story.

Excellent storytelling
Wow. This was a new direction for the Galaxy's Edge series, and I loved it. This is a love story first, and an action story second. But if you're a GE veteran, do NOT let the love story discourage you from trying this. Anspach and Cole deftly intertwine the love, action, and mystery aspects of the story so you never get overwhelmed by any one of them. If I had one gripe, I think they could have added about an hour to the story, to add some exposition to a few of the plot points, but that's splitting hairs. Great book, and I got my credit's worth.

Fantastic!
Man was this a good book. Medusa and Imperator are by far the best GE books IMO. Awhile back I took a chance and picked up Legionarre and near the end I was thinking there was so much potential beyond Military Sci-Fi (a genre I'm not really into) for the series. I have not been disappointed, the main arc is very diverse and broad in the stories it tells. Imperator and Medusa blow away all expectations. There is so much to explore, think about and guess at in the GE universe.
Rechs is the anti hero done right. He's the hero that was the epitome of the archetype that was so well done in the 80s and 90s, an archetype today that is more bad and gratuitous than likable today. It was refreshing. Rechs is so well done that you almost dont realize he is an antihero, he comes off as a pure hero and you almost dont realize he's killing people left and right until he has reservations about it.
The Nanoplague was very interesting, there were a decent amount of twists to make you try and guess what's going on (Imperator was more like "WTH...what is this...omg..."). I'd love to see you guys write more books along these lines, they are amazing. Ray Porter is an absolute joy as well.

The Man, The Myth, The Legend--Tyrus Rechs
The story is haunting, as to be expected with the life of Tyrus. Not to give too much away, but we see the kinder, gentler side of the famed bounty hunter before he fell apart. The story is achingly beautiful even while being packed with the gunslinging action we've come to expect from GE. Loved it!

Too much narrative of what “Rechs is thinking”.
I have three hours remaining, and intend to finish the book, but I had to pause to express my annoyance with not enough planning for action, action, and after action.
I would have never bought this book if I knew it’s real title should have been, “Tyrus and Medusa - a Love Story”.
I hope that, in the future, the authors avoid all the “this is what Rechs is thinking about life, death, Medusa, and the galaxy” filler. I have come to expect a certain type of story from the GE Series. I’m not sure what you guys are thinking, but this ain’t it. It seems like you’re trying to appeal to women or something. Knock it off! I’m fast forwarding through your Bravo Sierra.
And Ray Porter is okay, but R.C. Bray is way better.
Edit* Okay, I take it back - a little. The last three hours, the climax, were excellent. And even the romantic mumbo-jumbo is tied in masterfully in the end. Upgrading from 3/3/3 stars to 4/3/4 stars.

Save the credit
It's been a while since I was this disappointed in a book. This work is completely underwhelming on every level. Plot, characterization, world/setting were all unimaginative, tired, and cliche. Nothing about Requiem for Medusa is memorable or noteworthy.
While I can certainly appreciate a well crafted adventure that isn't too demanding, a cheeseburger of a book (if you can dig it), this is a terrible cheeseburger. If you're looking for some lighthearted action, look elsewhere. I certainly wasn't looking for Dune or anything so heady. But I couldn't find a way into the story. I didn't care at all about the characters or the plot. It felt like I was doing homework.

Its not bad
its not bad but not really all that great either. drones on a bit in places and get tedious
the last 3 hours are about the best part but even then its short lived.
for me Rex was better in the main story line not really sure what happened here. its a good story but not all that gripping or memorable.
also switching narrators especially from RC Bray in a series is never a good move.
when you get used to accents and how some portrays a character and pronounces their name it just sounds wrong,
dont think its Ray Porters fault much of what he has to work with would sound fairly boring no matter who read it

a great action tale with substance that you can care about. yes it's a tale of vengeance but vengeance meant someone cared in the first place. give it a listen

And so begins a whole new chapter!
I will keep this brief.
If you enjoyed Galaxy's Edge then you will love this as we discover more about the the legend of General Rexx.
Great story, excellent narration (not the Audible god that is RC Bray but seriously good).
I await the next installment.

We need more
Excellent story, excellent performance. Would have preferred RC Bray as I associate Ray Porter with Joe Ledger series. Overall a well written and performed audio book. Please can we have more books based in this universe.

Gen T. Rex is Back…as a Galactic Bounty Hunter.
Violent fun as the Old Dinosaur seeks revenge for the death of the only woman he ever loved, wreaks havoc and turns a whole world into a bloody pulp.
Full of murder, mayhem , monsters, good, evil and not a little sentimentality.
Even throws in a sort of goofy R2D2 bot who goes by the name of “FancyPants”.
Ray Porter works his usual audio narrative magic.

Lives up to the series
Great story by the authors and performance by Ray Porter.
It's what I have come to expect from this team, and I was not left wanting. Looking forward to listening to Chasing the Dragon.

i enjoyed it, well executed space opera
this narrator is Ray Porter from the bobiverse books which I also enjoyed and he does a fine job of delivering this interesting Saga which reminded me of the Star Wars world

something unique
where do i start this is a side story in the GE universe even though its not ready by RC Bray ray porter still does a fantastic job and even though it is strange with him as Tyrus Rechs he soon pulls you in and brings a fair bit of depth to the character. The story is something else as well in fact all 3 books so far keep you hooked the whole time but this one in particular is the best for me. a revenge story at heart with a detective style hunt where he has to uncover secrets bit by bit to unlock the truth, is something i think everyone can relate to in one way or another. This book is a must if you liked the original series and hell i would say even if you didn't. if I wasn't an audible member I would without a doubt pay full price for all of these books!

A kid's story for grown ups
Can't be shot. Never misses. Gets all the bad guys. Silly story really. The authors can obviously write, but it's just escapism stuff. Narrator does well with the tissue thin plot. Kept me in it when a lesser reader would have had me deleting it.

Lots of everything
Not a bad book, but spoilt by an excess of violence and things happening. Some good ideas and characters, but everything was at a breaknieck pace. A bit of time spent developing characters and slowing down the ploy would help. Still, well worth a listen
