Planetside

De: Michael Mammay

Narrado por: R.C. Bray

A seasoned military officer uncovers a deadly conspiracy on a distant, war-torn planet…

War heroes aren't usually called out of semi-retirement and sent to the far reaches of the galaxy for a routine investigation. So when Colonel Carl Butler answers the call from an old and powerful friend, he knows it's something big - and he's not being told the whole story. A high councilor's son has gone MIA out of Cappa Base, the space station orbiting a battle-ravaged planet. The young lieutenant had been wounded and evacuated - but there's no record of him having ever arrived at hospital command.

The colonel quickly finds Cappa Base to be a labyrinth of dead ends and sabotage: the hospital commander stonewalls him, the Special Ops leader won't come off the planet, witnesses go missing, radar data disappears, and that’s before he encounters the alien enemy. Butler has no choice but to drop down onto a hostile planet - because someone is using the war zone as a cover. The answers are there - Butler just has to make it back alive…

Good build up to an abrupt ending.

Great voice performance as always.
But the story just had a very abrupt and unsatisfying ending.

Worth the read

There are some who are giving this book a bad review because of the ending...those people weren't paying attention.

It's a great listen, worth the credit.

Great read!

I loved this story line. The ending is definitely a cliffhanger. wasn't expecting that at all. Well worth the read.

Outstanding Story

It takes a lot to impress me when it comes to story telling these days. That being said, this book was a surprise to behold. It was outstanding. The writing was as tight and smooth as it comes. The author, Michael Mammay nailed it. I had to stay up all night because I simply could not stop listening. I blame missing a day of work on this book and I am proud of it. I cannot say enough about the superb narration by R.C. Bray. Just top form all the way. The mystery aspect of the story told with a compelling scifi element coupled with the combination of story genres ranging from cop thriller to die hard military story telling was so refreshing as to be a glass, real glass, of cold water to a parched person exiting the desert. If you enjoy cop stories, mystery stories,military saga's, and sci-fi, then by all means, add this book to your collection. You owe it to yourself to enjoy this book. Buying the second book was a no brainier.

Nooooooo! I mean yes.... I mean nooooooo! Great story. RC Bray great as always. No spoilers here but man oh man. If there ever was a book that deserves a sequel......demands a sequel it’s this book.
When the story ended I screamed noooooo in my head. There has to be more! I must have more. I don’t know if there is a sequel but I am going to search right now. Great story.

Great but wish there was an epilogue

Some great twists and turns, but I really wish there was an epilogue great listen otherwise.

great book

can't wait for the next one to come out. the reader as always does a great job.

Great story, great lead character.

As a "Skippy" fan, with RC Bray narrating, this was like listening to a story about a character exactly like how Joe Bishop would be in his 50s. Thoroughly enjoyed it. I hope there is more from Carl Butler!
