Good story

Good story, Rev was young and flawed. He started maturing through his training. Action and adventure. Liked it because he wasn’t a hero who got everything right but learned.

Okay..

Decent story but don't expect much action since there's very little of it. The narration was Decent other than you can't really tell when a female character is speaking since they sound like male voices

A Surprise Listen

I was initially hesitant with this purchase, but the book kept me engaged after a somewhat goofy start.

Fun book reminds me of old mans war

I really enjoyed this book. It definitely has some elements from old mans war, specifically the ones around augmentation and government secrecy. I’ve not listened to this narrator before and he was great! I couldn’t help but feel anxious with what led the protagonist to military service. I found myself buying into the story so much that I was extremely angry that a traffic ticket led to enlistment. I can’t help but wonder why they aren’t rioting. Either way, I was immersed and looking forward to the next one. Highly recommended!

Murphy's Law.

Reverend gets a dose of reality. Then finds out what real life is all about. Sort of a coming of age story with very dry humor.

For a traffic violation?

There's a war on and humans are starting to lose to the so-called Centaurs. Earth needs more boots on the ground and the volunteers aren't enough so they have a draft. The bad news about the war is being hidden from the general population. But the draft is a moving intensity. They start drafting the misdemeanors, and then traffic violations. Rev got caught manually driving in a stretch where it states the vehicle should be in control. His punishment is to be drafted for 3 or more years.He chooses to ground fight as a Marine.This is his story of his friends and experiences. Worth listening to.
