Resumen del Editor

From Book 1: Killed in action. Reborn on the battlefield.

Sergeant Paxton Alejo is a League of Humanity Marine Commando, the best of the best. After getting sent to oversee a batch of fresh conscripts, Pax makes the fateful decision to sacrifice his life to save his subordinates. He is posthumously awarded the Cross of Honor, the highest military medal . . .

. . . except that the Marine Corps isn’t done with him.

Using highly classified, experimental technology, his deceased body is transported to a top secret facility and infected with a genetically modified mycelium that can imprint on his brain, creating a biological download, ultimately preserving most of his memories and combat skills.

Despite being labeled legally dead, he wakes and feels alive.

He has no rights. He is no longer a citizen. Instead, he’s government property, part of a clandestine unit made up of the finest spec ops Marines, soldiers, and sailors, each one deceased. . .

. . . and all with capabilities too valuable to lose.

The military’s new goal is to create the finest combat force ever conceived, capable of bringing back the best of the best, no longer bound or constrained by death itself.

With enemies on the battlefield and at home, and with no real rights to his name, Pax and his fellows will struggle to survive in a universe built only for the living.

Great sci-fi, Top notch reader

Good actio sequences, and an interesting story that is well performed audio by Roger Wayne.

Great story

Really enjoy the details in this story. Some of the military explanations are truly interesting. Not sure the narrator brings this story to life as much as he should.

Really Interesting Concept - A Great Listen, but .

I really love the concept and action of this series of books. The narrator is great too. He makes the characters seem very realistic. He's now my second favorite narrator behind RC Bray. That said, Mr. Wayne was not a Marine and it's pretty obvious. He gets a lot of the lingo wrong, I was in the Corps for many, many years and each one of these mistakes just makes me cringe when I hear them. Some examples of his lingo mistakes include saying "ess-NCO" instead of "Staff NCO"; "pogs" instead of "Poh-gs": "Pose" instead of "Paus" for position; "jee-dunk" instead of "gee-dunk": "Coresssss-man" with an s instead of "Core-man" for a Corpsman: and lastly, no one calls a Chief Warrant Officer a Chief Warrant Officer. They're called "Gunners" in the Marine Corps. I'm not sure how you can write an entire series of books about Marines, and get so much right, but also get so many common Marine sayings wrong. Maybe a little Marine specific technical advising during production. But again, I do really enjoy the books very, very much. I'm almost done with the second one and am looking forward to the third.

Characters were awesome!!

The Boys have delivered once again! These are some of my all time favorite authors. Loved the concept. Reminded me of Universal Soldier but with a twist!! Can’t wait for book 2!

Good Story

Excellent story, as well as the narrator. Looking forward to the next book in the series.

Commitment to others

The government taking but failing to give back to the undead. Dedication of the troops, even without any return.

first time back

First audible book in years. Love the authors imagination and images. Story was fresh and engaging. The QB character was an 'Everyman' easy to identify with. will definitely read the next in the series. Voice presentation was expertly done.
