He just wants to run space cargo. Alien warlords want him dead - with a billion credit price on his head. Now, everyone with a gun and a spaceship wants to cash in.

But, humans are not easy to kill, especially a battle hardened Marine warrior from Earth.

He is angry, frustrated and uncertain about where his life is going, but knows one thing - he absolutely hates the arrogance of the wealthy elite who paid the billion credit bounty.

They didn’t send enough ships… not nearly enough ships.

Not a fan of the Virtual.

The story was good but I feel like I missed something, I don't know it this book is part of a series is metioned but it refered to passed events like we should already know the history.

The Virtual reading was flat with no personality. The narrator voice didn't match the character and it made it hard to really get into the story. That Virtual might be better for a history, or biography or something else without different characters or that does need emotions to be expressed. I don't think I'd buy a book 2 for this story with Virtual voice.

Really liked the story overall

Did not like AI narration, mispronunciation of words and little emotion in story told, would have much better with a real person narrative

worst narration ever

The premise of the story is ok, it may even been tolerable to listen to if... I have listened to a lot of audio books and this is hands down the absolute worst narration I have ever heard. I finally gave up with about 2 hours left. don't waste your time.

Virtual voice version

The story wasn’t bad. This version of for virtual voice was horrible though. It made it hard to follow. Rather than bring you into the book and it’s characters. It felt like you were listening to somebody read at a library. And the person reading wasn’t really used to it.
