Black Ops

Expeditionary Force, Book 4

By: Craig Alanson

Narrated by: R.C. Bray

The elite crew of the pirate ship UNS Flying Dutchman had a simple mission: determining whether the Thuranin are sending another starship to Earth.

Along the way, they became sidetracked by securing a future for the UNEF troops on the planet Paradise. When asked whether Earth was now safe, their ancient alien AI responded "Not so much"...now they have to deal with the consequences.

Love these books

It’s so refreshing to be confident I am going to love a book before I buy it and have it come true. My wife is not following this series, but I am able to play portions for her that I particularly enjoy (such as when skippy introduces his Lord Skippy avatar) and she is instantly involved and wants to continue listening. Definitely recommend (except don’t use a credit on the short 5 hour book “trouble in Paradise” as I don’t think it’s worth it and you don’t miss anything by skipping it.)

Getting old. Earth needs to advance a bit.

It's basically the same story line repeating. No advancement. Earth still hoping not to get discovered. It is really, truly getting old. I hate not giving 5 stars to a book read by RC Bray - but of course his narration is still 5 star.

Craig Alanson and R.C. Bray are a dynamic duo

The galaxy that Craig Alanson has created is packed full of action, science, space travel, and comic relief. Traveling in their stolen pirate ship and facing impossible odds is all in a day's work for Joe Bishop and his shiny beer can, Skippy. R.C.Bray.....wow. I can't say it enough, this guy can narrate. The Expeditionary Force series was the first time I'd heard the man. Since then I've expanded my library with titles that this Mr. Bray narrates. These two could conquer the galaxy with the force of their respective arts. Overall a perfect 5 stars for these two. Thank you for reading this and remember to TRUST THE AWESOMENESS.

Bad Reviews are NOT Helpful

If you have made it this far in the series, ignore the few negative reviews that idiots seem to rate as “helpful”. When a book has 99% 5 star reviews, why are we even reading the 1%?! People will always hate on something, especially if it’s a masterpiece. If you’ve made it this far, don’t hesitate to listen to this.

I hope these stories never end because they keep getting better and better.

5 STAR WORTHY

Fantastic series

I really am enjoying this! All hail Skippy the Magnificent! Love the narration.

Author tends to repeat himself a bit. Like he wrote multiple versions of a conversation and instead of picking one, puts them both in in different parts of the book.
