Resumen del Editor

Get this 32-hour box set of pure kickass military sci-fi - a thrill ride combining space opera and first contact!

Terminal Lance Lucky Lee Savage likes his life. Sure, doing PT hungover is a pain, but no one can dodge responsibility like he can - or sweet-talk the cooks into giving out double rations.

But when Lucky’s ambushed behind enemy lines and left for dead, along with a handful of privates so boot they actually respect his authority, he has to step up, manage the ambitions of his foul-mouthed AI, and figure out what’s tearing a hole in the fabric of space-time before everything goes haywire.

Lucky wouldn’t bet on the universe. One thing he will bet on: Somewhere, somehow, somebody is going to pay for all this. And he is going to be right there to pull the trigger.

If you like Aliens and Firefly, you'll love this funny, gritty, and endlessly entertaining series!

Books included in this box set:

• Lucky Universe
• Lucky Legacy
• Lucky Empire
• Lucky Forever
• Lucky Invasion

Great fun book

This was a very fun book with a lot of different twists that I haven’t heard of in other books it was refreshing for somebody to step outside of the normal side by box and be creative.

Fun

My biggest issue with this story was trying to understand the armor these characters wear. Like sometimes it comes accoss like Spartan armor from Halo, then sometimes its like a vac suit with a chest plate. And how does the armor deal with the masive amout of damage these charcters take? Is the armor also regenerative and i just missed that explanation?
Other than all that I had fun with this story.

A I within the body

Great story and Narrator. on the edge of my seat the whole time. didn't see anything coming. had me laughing at times. enjoyed every minute and definitely gonna listen again.

Great Story

Loved it. Nice story line and sub story line. mix of humour, sarcasm and action.

AI much?

I really liked Lucky's AI, Rocky. Her subsequent versions not so much. I liked the interaction between Rocky and L ucky. Th a t's where the where the satirical wit is.

am I supposed to care about them

to start the voice actor isn't strictly bad there's moments on inflection and nuance to the voice but it never seems to reach what it needs too. as for the story I can't seem to tell I'm supposed to care about who these people are. I get that we have a main character but the way he hates himself and everything going on its hard to really care what's happening to him.

Quirky, funny and filled with action!!

Just when you thought you would have a slow start of read, this book takes you off quickly with the plot. There’s a lot of mental humor throughout the book that you will find yourself smiling or laughing at. Well portrayed book and I am so looking forward to more from the author of this series.

awesome!

Great series! it was a fun listen! Totally worth the credit I'm on to book 6-7

Repeat

The stories have a lot of repeating scenes. They seem to be only fillers to pad the narrative and therefore extend the story length.

Great Continuous Action Military Sci-Fi

This was my first experience with Joshua James' work, and it was great. This box set was composed of the first five books of the series, plus the novella titled, "Lucky Shot". All the stories flowed from one action scene to the next, pretty much without stopping. I enjoyed the worldbuilding, including the augmented bodies with nanobots and attached AI. I liked that there were several non-human races featured. I liked Lucky and his team. Lucky was the quintessential flawed military hero who forged his own path. He was courageous, outrageous, and sarcastic, plus he always looked out for his team members. I'm looking forward to the next story. Mark Boyett's narration was excellent, and his performance added to the story's entertainment. I was given a free copy of this audiobook, and I have voluntarily posted this review.
