Excellent

This book, like those that came before, is jam packed with action and intrigue. The narration was excellent. There were plenty of heart pounding battles won and lost, ending in death or worse. There seemed to be more tear provoking moments in this book. It is definitely not an HEA.

Do not buy this book! it will be a wasted credit



This series of books is never going to end. the author is trying to make this series drag on as long as possible. In this book the plot is not move forward at all and they literally spend half the book with a main characters walking around in a Tech Convention with made up TV stars.

I enjoyed the first three books and they seemed to move forward. the plot in the story I thought was interesting and that's why I've decided to continue. however, I will not purchase any more from the series. it would have been an amazing three or four book series, not the 50 it's going to be by the time they're done writing it!

Series is taking a turn towards Young Adult

The series was always a little thin, but now it's taking a turn for the worse. The characters are not strong. There's little temptation to make any kind of emotional investment in them. I've listened to all the books in the series up to this one, but it's time to move on.

The best Cooper has written!

This may be the best book Mark Cooper has written (I "think" I've listened to everything that's available from Mr. Cooper here on Audible)... His writing skills have grown immensely since this series was started! This book is ultra-well researched, down to tiny details that many Non-Military, and/or Non-Engineering, folks may well miss, and I'm sure there are other details *I* missed from areas where I have no experience. Mr. Cooper doesn't 'beat you over the head with Details', he just tosses them into the story like a subtle seasoning. He obviously put a LOT of research into this book.

I LOVE watching authors grow! I said in a review of Book 1 that Mr. Cooper was only going to get better, and happily he's done exactly that! Can't wait for his next book!

Mikael Naramore's Narration is well timed, well read, well spoken, and just plain "well done"!
This is one of those rare teams that make 'the whole' better than the sum of it's parts!

Loving this series!

I got through this book pretty quick. I didn't want to stop listening! I waited so long for this book. Hoping the next one comes soon! The story gets better with each book and the relationships between some of my favorite characters grow. This book has a bitter sweet end. Mikael Naramore does an excellent job with each and every character which is very difficult with so many in this book. Looking forward to the next book!

Extremely Booring - BABBLE - End of a series

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

No ONE! It's probably the most boring book I have ever listened to. The Absolute Worst!! This book convinces me to end this series and probably not listen to Cooper's books any more!

Has Incursion turned you off from other books in this genre?

Genre No, Cooper Yes. It may be possible that Cooper didn't even write this book. The previous books were good, this one absolutely, consistently, and completely sucks!! Just Babble!!

Have you listened to any of Mikael Naramore’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Naramore, as usual, does an excellent job. He's good enough that I could force myself to continue after the second chapter. What a waste of time!

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

COMPLETE DISAPPOINTMENT!! The book was crap - Skip this book and if this in an indication of what's to come from Cooper; then take him off your list!

Any additional comments?

Do NOT Buy this piece of babble, you'll regret it completely.

War is Hell

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

This is a great audiobook. The narration is clear and engaging and the story itself is entertaining.

Any additional comments?

This book doesn't just focus on the battles. It also focuses on the price that civilians and others pay by surviving attacks. Battles that are won don't always seem so when the costs are revealed.

Good narrator, story seems interesting

I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher.

Caveat emptor: This book is the 5th in the series and I have not read any of the previous ones. In fact, I am not finishing this book right now because I am going to start from the beginning of the series. That being said, this is my review based on about 1.5-2 hours I have completed.

The narrator is one of the better I've listened to. Good range of character voices.

Story seems interesting. Starts out in the aftermath of some alien war where humans are allied with at least one other race against a mutual enemy. The ally race has a lot of detail and we see characters from their perspective. Interesting enough to get me to start from the beginning.

I believe that if you are a fan of this series, you probably have been anxiously awaiting this sequel.
