Stick a fun ride!!

Love me a good sci-fi type story where the MC and his crew of hotties fallacies all over the universe on a mission to save mankind!! Great job! And despite it not being dual narrated, Jessica does a great job on her own!

Interesting story. Harems and silliness.

This is an interesting story with actual thought as to how a merc would be able to woo many women in his lifetime. I normally don't appreciate more adult-skewing content, and you wouldn't be able to necessarily tell that this series is RIDDLED with the stuff from the cover, but I didn't mind it here; the scenes aren't drawn out and are easily skippable. More importantly, they MAKE SENSE.

The story is mediocre, borderline great. It leans a bit too much on the "Hansome rogue can beat anything, including empires" trope, but was realistic enough that is was (barely)palatable.

Unfortunately, the writing style doesn't translate as well to an audiobook. That, paired with Jessica Threet's below-average ability to portray assertive characters(men and women alike), leaves you scratching your head often. "Why did I just listen to a 10-minute excerpt on ship trading?" you might ask.
To which I say, it actually does the story well in an ebook, where you could almost skim-read through a section and get some immersion. but in audio form, it's immersion breaking IMO.

Last topic and to repeat myself, Jessica Threet was NOT the right person for this book. She doesn't do a good job of portraying assertive men/women. Orders barked out on a ship bridge feel anemic. Additionally, she can't do men's voices AT ALL. You simply cannot tell who is saying what during some conversations. A dual cast, or a better narrator able to differentiate more obviously between characters was needed.

Overall, I'd say this was barely worth the credit. I enjoyed the 33 hours of listening to the zany, borderline ridiculous story. However, I would never re-listen to this due to the terrible narrator casting choice.

Enjoyable

Nothing ground breaking or extremely clever but a solid story with entertaining writing. Jessica does a great job as usual. I don’t regret using a credit. I’d probably get book 4 if there is one.

spicy space opera

this collection has a wonderful tale with twists and kinks. puzzles and action, and an intriguing variety of settings. A point and shoot hero faces problems he can't just blow away.

amazing

Great story, Jessica Threet is a treasure as always, the details in the world building are top notch.
