Publisher's summary
A warlike alien race. A stranded platoon. One man's fight to save his brothers - and humanity itself - from total annihilation.
Rade Galaal and his elite team are dispatched to the farthest reaches of known space to investigate the disappearance of a classified new supercarrier.
Equipped with Hoplites, powerful battle suits laden with enough firepower to raze a small city, Rade and his team explore the barren world where the starship issued its final transmission.
But shortly after they land, things start to go very wrong.
Cut off from the fleet, stranded on an unforgiving planet, and surrounded by hostiles, Rade and his men find themselves fighting for their very lives against a seemingly unstoppable foe. Even the awesome firepower of the Hoplites might not be enough.
Can Rade overcome his demons in time to save the platoon, or will his team become the first casualty of the coming alien war?
Book one of a military science fiction trilogy, Hoplite ends in a cliffhanger. Book two, Zeus, is available now. For fans of Starship Troopers, Armor, and Old Man's War.

Story
As a sci-fi author with a hit TV show, I have a few ideas about what alien invaders are supposed to look like. In my stories, they’re technologically advanced monsters, with tentacles, and no faces. Turns out I was right about the technology. And about how angry they’d be. But the way they look…that’s more terrifying than even I could have imagined. They look exactly like us. Because they are us.

They were the Savages. Raiders from our distant past. Elites who left Earth to create tailor-made utopias aboard the massive lighthuggers that crawled through the darkness between the stars. But the people they left behind on a dying planet didn't perish in the dystopian nightmare the Savages had themselves created: they thrived, discovering faster-than-light technology and using it to colonize the galaxy ahead of the Savages, forming fantastic new civilizations that surpassed the wildest dreams of Old Earth.

Rade Galaal and his team of special operators are deployed to a colony under attack by a strange new alien race. Their mission: find the extraterrestrial base and destroy it. The operation should be easy, given that his men pilot Brigand mechs: massive, 25-foot-tall war machines armed to the teeth with electrolasers, rockets, incendiary throwers, and more. But it's not easy. Rade and his team soon find themselves in over their heads. Surrounded by an entire world of enraged aliens, they must rely on their wits, their training, and their mechs to survive.

Jason was a little short on creds, so he decided to get his mind scanned. It seemed like a good idea at the time: Get paid to license a copy of your mind for use in one of the numerous machines that run society. What could go wrong? Turns out, a lot. Jason wakes up in the middle of the radioactive wasteland that was created 50 years ago when aliens destroyed half the Earth. He has no idea why he's here, or what the hell he's supposed to do. Worst of all, he's no longer human.

Mech fights , brothers in arms , Tale to be told.
The book’s pacing is good. with just enough explanation of how the mech work to trigger great mental images. I only had two issues.
The beginning scene at the gym i felt was a bit rushed meeting everybody. This could be just me though. Smaller groups may have been better but still works.
Why did you decide on using fuel based propulsion for the mech. The mechs would be heavy enough with the fusion reactor plus fuse materials which need tanks of their own. Shielding for the reactor and being generous with good mount of composites to reduce mass adding a fuel tank for jump jets i feel the mech wouldn’t be able to move let alone fly. Now if i think an atmospheric plasma thruster that turns the any atmosphere int to propellant so long as you have power might be a better choice.
Summery:
Concise start to a a trilogy. Will like to see what comes next.
Disclosure : I did receive this audiobook for free.

Hoplite
I first found Issac Hooke while listening to Bug Hunt. from there I made it a mission to listen to all his Space Opera books. I never had a bad listen to any of his books. Hoplite gives me a deeper insight into Bug Hunt and that series. This book is great.

as a whole, not too bad. not a waste of time.
The biggest complaint I had isnt really a fault of Isaac, it is the narrator in this audiobook. The narrator's voice was too grainy but I'm new to audiobooks. it took me probably 7-9 chapters before I actually learned the mannerisms for each character. The story is pretty good, I found myself wanting to listen to the next chapter with fervor.

Excellent Mil SF + First Contact
(I received a copy for review)
The mil SF field is pretty crowded, and there are a lot of excellent authors out there. If Isaac Hooke is not on your list, I heartily recommend him.
His focus is on the brotherhood of the soldiers, as well as the struggle against unknown enemies in strange places.
If you are a fan of mechs/battle armor this is definitely for you.

Good story and I'm enjoying the series' universe
I really enjoyed this story and am really looking forward to the rest of them, however I'm not sure I liked the narration. There was nothing wrong with the narration but I blame it on having been listening to the first book in the Argonauts series first and Luke Daniels narrated it so I had assumed he had done this series as well.
