Good story

Good story, Rev was young and flawed. He started maturing through his training. Action and adventure. Liked it because he wasn’t a hero who got everything right but learned.

Okay..

Decent story but don't expect much action since there's very little of it. The narration was Decent other than you can't really tell when a female character is speaking since they sound like male voices

A Surprise Listen

I was initially hesitant with this purchase, but the book kept me engaged after a somewhat goofy start.

Fun book reminds me of old mans war

I really enjoyed this book. It definitely has some elements from old mans war, specifically the ones around augmentation and government secrecy. I’ve not listened to this narrator before and he was great! I couldn’t help but feel anxious with what led the protagonist to military service. I found myself buying into the story so much that I was extremely angry that a traffic ticket led to enlistment. I can’t help but wonder why they aren’t rioting. Either way, I was immersed and looking forward to the next one. Highly recommended!

You can't go wrong with a Chaney book

I am a huge fan of Wayward Galaxy and Renegade Star, so when I saw this one, I suspected it would be good.

I was right! The fight scenes are really good and the writing is what I have come to expect. Easy to read and satisfying. Great job as always. I will be eagerly waiting for book 2.

Fun, likable and will get the next book

The characters are likable. The story is a bit predictable but still a good ride. I generally shy away from Kafer but these characters work well for his type voice. I will certainly get the next book.

Great Book

This was a great book with great narration. No there are no giant new ideas but the writer presented the story in a way that kept me totally entertained.
