Acerca de esta escucha
Grace Gushiken is a grifter and a liar. Worse, she's an esper, an abhorrent creation of the Old Empire, on the run from the Republic's justice. Nathan Chevell captains the free trader Tyche. He's no pirate, but he's no white knight either. There’s no business in helping strays.
Thrown together on a mission to the edge of space, they find the doomed planet Absalom Delta deserted, its people enslaved by the insect-like Ezeroc. The aliens have descended like locusts on humanity, consuming all in their path. No one is safe. Even the Republic Navy is powerless against them.
With nothing but an aging starship running low on luck, Grace and Nate clash against the might of an alien kingdom. The Ezeroc have arrived, and they are hungry.
Tyche’s Flight is the first book in Richard Parry’s gripping Ezeroc Wars series. If you like pause-resisting space opera with great dialogue and heart-pumping action, get your copy today!

Out of the blue, a young Space Fleet officer's dream becomes reality: He's made captain of a starship. Just in time for the return of humanity's most terrible enemy, after 50 years of peace. To survive against this enemy, Captain Tad Thatcher will have to do more than learn how to become an effective commander, or how to wrangle his wayward crew. He will need to reinvent space combat. From scratch.

After more than 20 years in special operations, USMC Gunnery Sergeant Wolf Mathison wasn’t looking forward to retirement when—implanted with an experimental artificial intelligence—he deployed on his last mission with a platoon of Marine Raiders being sent to the Jovian moon Europa. The USS Jefferson was destroyed en route, though, and only Mathison and three other marines survived. Trapped in stasis, they were hurled into the outer reaches of the solar system, where they wouldn’t be found for hundreds of years.

Felix's life on Earth had become a series of dead-end jobs, ruined relationships, and rotating apartments smaller than most postage stamps. By all accounts, even his own, he was a coward. Too afraid to move forward, to take risks. Yet when given the chance to choose between risking his life or walking away from a deadly encounter, he didn't hesitate. Moments before his untimely demise, Felix was snatched from earth and thrust into a magical world known only as "The Continent". Empowered by the "System", he learns that he can strengthen himself through combat and dedication.

Few know the warship’s actual name. But everyone has heard the rumors. The PUV James Keeling can do something no other vessel in existence can do—slip into another dimension, travel undetected, then re-emerge onto our plane and surprise enemy targets. But the thing that makes the Crypt unique also makes it a nightmare for those onboard; interdimensional travel causes hallucinations, violent behavior, and psychotic breakdowns. Keeling could be the Union’s greatest weapon, a game-changing asset that can defeat the bloodthirsty zealots of the Purist Nation, the Union’s mortal enemy.

We were outnumbered, outfought. Mankind was about to fall to the alien Flock. Our only chance was a desperate gamble, transforming Tier One SpecOps agents into deadly super soldiers. In the end, we won the war, but we lost the peace. The Flock surrendered and spent the next two hundred years making reparations, indentured to humanity, doing everything humans did not want to do. And the evolved super soldiers were consigned to an endless sleep. Ready if ever needed, but in time they became myths. Abandoned and forgotten.

Space Opera
A good read - smoothly written Space Opera, with some horror mixed in . Basically a ragtag crew trying to survive their too good to be true contract. While the setup is well written and the characters are nicely fleshed-out, you will recognize some popular tropes. Not to say they don't deserve to be used again but not as original as it could be. Lots of Gunplay and bodies everywhere. Moves smoothly along with lots of action and only occasional dragging points where people have to get reflective and feel sorry for themselves. (Does anybody else feel like authors are using people like they were raised in a vat just to die in combat with their trigger-happy protagonists?)
There are some rather annoying lapses of logic at a couple points but since I don't remember exactly what they were, they don't hinder the plot too much.
This is in the style of Firefly. Which was in the style of a western.( I stopped watching Firefly when they failed to use an spacecraft to see that men on horseback were waiting to ambush them on the ground.Here again are ample references to Civil War ala Johnny Rebel.)

This is a Great Romp
You better be working your ass off on the next book in this series Richard, I’m waiting. This story is a great romp of fun. I enjoyed listening to it. I enjoyed the characters and the story. The narration is done extremely well. I’ve listened to a lot of Audible books; this one is worth the listen.
