Resumen del Editor

“I don't belong in the military. I don't want to belong.”

Tanner Malone never aspired to heroism. For him, the Navy and the Debtor’s War were all about survival. Lately, his life has turned to better days with college, friends, and a growing relationship. He’s not interested when a Union Fleet admiral brings him a mysterious alien threat, but he can’t turn away Alicia Wong.

Ancient warfare between humanity’s alien neighbors threatens to reignite. While tensions rise, the Fleet detects a massive alien craft sneaking through human space. The commando team sent to investigate is tough, competent, and straight out of Tanner’s worst fears. Surviving this will push Tanner to his limits—and he’ll definitely need a note for class.

Great story

It has been a while since the last book but this is another good listen to the series. honestly you are reading the reviews this many books into the series. go to the first

Great Story BAD narration

The story was great. Another fun adventure with Tanner Malone where trouble seems to follow him but he somehow manages to save the day and screw up someone's plans. My biggest problem with this audiobook was the narration. I should have read the other reviews and paid attention. The narrator literally whispers the entire novel. The dialogue bits are normal but the narration bits that are supposed to be neutral are all done in a whispered voice. At first it wasn't that bad, though I kept wondering if it was because the characters were in a tense situation or needed to be stealthy (they weren't). After awhile, this narration style really gets annoying. I almost couldn't focus on listening to the story.

Whose idea was the narration change?

I have no idea of the variety and quality of intoxicants that convinced someone to change the tone of the narration. However I am convinced it would astound a freshman dorm or lower enlisted barracks.

This like if Mike Rowe suddenly started doing dramatic voice overs. If the production team thinks this was a good idea they need to share whatever they are using.

But I listened all the way through for three reasons.

I rarely felt as seen and heard as a veteran as when I listen to this series.

I have a horrible and addictive fiction crush on Jessie and Gunny makes me miss my first 1SG in a warm and painful way.

Finally this is the only series that has universal positive reception with everyone I force to listen to it.

The narration messes with all that. But I still gave it four stars overall. One hopes that they enforce sobriety on the production team before another book comes out, or at least send samples of what they are on with the book.

Sharing is caring.

I love this series

There's a bit of a dip in the action about 2/3 through, but it all pays off at the climax.

I'll listen to this entire series again next year. I didn't have time to go through it all before No Man's Land dropped.

Truly great!

This is a great addition to the series. Fun and interesting listening experience. This book flows well into the series and adds many new characters and stories to the series. Thank you for the book, I really enjoyed it.

Good continuation of Tanner's story. Terrible narration.

The story was good. Tanner was a bit more whiny then usual. Narration was terrible. If the entire series up to this point had been narrated like this one then I wouldn't have made it past book 1.

Love this series

The story is awesome as expected from EK. Tanner Malone is one of my favorite characters of all time. The previous books were narrated by the same guy and I liked it. This time he did a good chunk of it in a half whisper that was just plain weird. Definitely broke immersion and was down right annoying much of the time. 🤷🏼‍♂️

An author who consistently gets even better!

If I have a complaint at all, it’s that the books don’t just magically appear every 6 months or once a year…that said, Mr Kay always delivers the best, so I am content to wait. These characters matter to me as do their lives and I have re-listened to both of his series several times. Please keep up the great work Elliot Kay, and thank you for so many hours of enjoyment.

An Excellent Edition to this Series

I very much looked forwards to listening to this Audiobook and I wasn't disappointed. In my opinion the Author does an excellent job of keeping his audience engaged and eager for more.

The only issue I had with it was that the Narrator (T.A.P) decided to whisper the majority of the Audiobook. While not outright bad it was a bit irritating. Still, dispite this oddity I enjoyed this Audiobook as much as the earlier books.

Great Storyline

I love this book, it’s another great installment of the series and it did not disappoint. Kay does not add a lot of fluff to extend the story uneccessarily.
