About the Creator

Scott Bartlett writes books from inside a mech, which is inside the hangar bay of a light armored cruiser stationed just past Jupiter.
Certain parts of the last sentence may not be completely true. Here are some more believable statements:
Scott was born in St. John’s, Newfoundland, the easternmost province of Canada. During his decade-long journey to become a full-time author, he supported himself by working an assortment of jobs…salmon hatchery technician, grocery clerk, youth care worker, ghostwriter, research assistant, pita maker, and freelance editor.
In 2014, he succeeded in becoming a full-time novelist, and he’s been writing science fiction at light speed ever since.

Mark Boyett has narrated 325 titles and counting in every genre, garnering an Audie Award for In Harm’s Way by Doug Stanton and an Earphones Awards for 1Q84 by Haruki Murakami.
He’s the voice of multiple hit sci-fi series including Star Force and Undying Mercenaries by B.V. Larson, The Black Fleet Trilogy by Joshua Dalzelle, and Mech Wars by Scott Bartlett.

Gives me a real Drop trooper/ Galaxies edge type feel. "Frog dogs" is pretty hilarious too.

Great time, but it's actually 2 books

As I said in the title, the description dosent tell you for some reason but this is actually books 1 and 2. book 1 is interesting but definitely a bit more of a prologue. a good one for sure but things really ramp up in book 2. hope you guys enjoy it as me.

Spend the credit

A captivating story by Scott Bartlett and masterfully narrated by Mark Boyett. I started the book on a vaca and snuck in lisenting time when I could. Nearlyl finished by time got home very late, but stayed up until 2:30am to find out what happened to Po. Looking forward to this series!

Great, thoughtful view of boot camp and the underlying progress and confusion of a soldier’s creation.

I love the ambiguity of right and wrong with the elites of both societies. Are we the good guys? Not in any ultimate sense, but enough to get the job done. Be a cog that makes a difference.

meh

I kept waiting for the story to start and then it was over. This seems to be based on current day Marines boot camp with a little Sci Fi twist to it. Narration was Excellent!

Author shows promise!

A "made for action" story and it delivers. I look forward to how this author develops.

Decent

Needs a serious ramp up in the story line and action. Two books in and there is no real understanding or purpose of the story or characters, what’s happening to them, or really any depth at all.

For example, why is there a random alien race helping Poe. Two entire books and a seemingly important character is nothing more than a creepy imaginary friend.

Narrator is keeping this series on life support.

Redemption and Coming of age in the Marine Corps

Almost a man but not quite there, A young man learns that actions have consequences and his consequences cause him to grow up fast. Follow his story as he learns that being a man requires more of him than he ever thought it could.

Scott Bartlett has done it again and brings us an engaging story about a young man that doesn't much like himself until he learns what it means to be a man and stand with his brothers.

I'm hooked!

Just finished listening to to Book One. Very honest characters, loving the sci-fi technology. The plot moves forward at a good pace. I'm looking forward to see how the characters develop. I'm a big fan of Mark Boyett, his interpretation is spot on. If you like military space opera, this is a winner!
