Publisher's summary

Colonel Joe Bishop made a promise and he's going to keep it; taking the captured alien starship Flying Dutchman back out.

He doesn't agree when the UN decides to send almost 70 elite Special Operations troops, hotshot pilots, and scientists with him; the mission is a fool's errand he doesn't expect to ever return from. At least, this time, the Earth is safe, right?

Not so much.

"DAMN IT!" -Skippy

I am in love with this series so far. The story is wonderful. It's not too fast or too slow, it moves along perfectly. Excellent blend of Action, Sci-fi and comedy. Highly recommended!

Love R.C. Bray and this series

If a book has R.C. Bray as the narrator then I know I'm going to love the voices. I find this series compelling and interesting. There is comedy throughout, but also suspense and wonder. I look forward to the other books.

Expeditionary Force, book 2. Great Audio book.

Just finished the second book in the series "Expeditionary Force, Spec Ops". It was exciting and interesting to listen the any time of the day. Usually I enjoy listening while I'm driving to work or home. This Audio book grabbed my interest and wouldn't let go. Science Fiction lovers will find great pleasure in listening to this series.

Good follow up book

The second both in the series is enjoyable. Not at good as the first. A couple of parts seemed to drag on with unnecessary information. But otherwise enjoyable. RC Bray is an amazing narrator

Just fix two things and you'd get all 5 stars

The reason I won't get the third book is that the protagonist is supposed to be a guy who is just an ordinary Joe literally Joe Bishop who doesn't want to hear anything about science and complexity which Skippy always starts to explain to him. I want to hear that stuff and that makes this book infuriating. There was enough in there to keep me going but this problem and the fact that the sense of humor of the author is decidedly sort of shall I say unsophisticated really put me off.

I really wish those two aspects of this book could be replaced because whatever else was there really made it interesting and a great escape.
