À propos de cet audio
When a mission ends in disaster—there is no way to achieve the objective, no way to regroup and try again, no plan B, no hope—all you can do is fall back into FAILURE MODE and try to salvage whatever you can.
...if it is even possible to save anything, or anyone.
The galaxy is doomed. Monkeys may be clever and too stubborn to give up, but Skippy The Idiot Who Got Played knows the harsh truth: this is a fight he can’t win. The odds are not only stacked against him, he was designed not to win this fight.
Maybe he can salvage some faint memory of the civilizations that inhabit the galaxy, but those beings are doomed. Doomed. Including the Merry Band of Pirates.

Histoire4.5 out of 5 stars 1 443
We were fighting on the wrong side of a war we couldn't win. And that was the good news. The Ruhar hit us on Columbus Day. There we were, innocently drifting along the cosmos on our little blue marble, like the native Americans in 1492. Over the horizon come ships of a technologically advanced, aggressive culture, and BAM! There go the good old days, when humans only got killed by each other. So, Columbus Day. It fits. When the morning sky twinkled again, this time with Kristang starships jumping in to hammer the Ruhar, we thought we were saved.

My name is Kazimir Wolfe. People call me "Kaz", except they don’t. I never use my real name; it’s too dangerous, for me and for anyone I meet. I’m on the run from the law, who think I killed my aunt, and from whoever did kill her, because they want to finish the job. So, I move around a lot, working construction or whatever job I can find. It’s a lonely life. I don’t let anyone get close...people who get close to me end up dead. Why? I’m a wizard. The world’s only wizard, as far as I know.

The Wizard's Council of Tarador was supposed to tell young Koren Bladewell that he is a wizard. They were supposed to tell everyone that he is not a jinx, that all the bad things that happen around him are because he can't control the power inside him, power he doesn't know about. The people of his village, even his parents, are afraid of him, afraid he is cursed. That he is a dangerous, evil jinx.

War heroes aren't usually called out of semi-retirement and sent to the far reaches of the galaxy for a routine investigation. So when Colonel Carl Butler answers the call from an old and powerful friend, he knows it's something big - and he's not being told the whole story. A high councilor's son has gone MIA out of Cappa Base, the space station orbiting a battle-ravaged planet. The young lieutenant had been wounded and evacuated - but there's no record of him having ever arrived at hospital command.

From the Audie-nominated narrator of The Martian. In eleven years' time, a million members of an alien race will arrive at Earth. Years before they enter orbit, their approach will be announced by the flare of a thousand flames in the sky, their ships' huge engines burning hard to slow them from the vast speeds needed to cross interstellar space. These foreboding lights will shine in our night sky like new stars, getting ever brighter until they outshine even the sun, casting ominous shadows and banishing the night until they suddenly blink out.

Titus Briggs is an Earth Defense soldier, a grunt, a decorated war hero—it's all he's ever known. So when a career-ending injury leaves him lying in a hospital bed, missing both legs, he struggles to accept his new reality. He can no longer walk, which means he can no longer fight. That is until a mysterious colonel arrives and offers Titus the opportunity to step into a new kind of war, a new kind of fight. To become a new kind of soldier. Mobile Combat Suits—MOCOMS—represent the next stage in human warfare. They enable soldiers to fight like never before.

Another great audio book and performance
This one mostly follows one story line and the main 2 characters. Is this the conclusion book? There are still many paths that story can continue towards, hopefully there will be more books to follow.

Pure Awesomeness
I can't do a full proper review at this time, I don't want to risk spoiling this great read, I just finished the book. I have to say I never expected as a grown man to get emotional and almost cry while listening to this series. Great performance by RC Bray, and stellar writing by Craig Alanson.
If you have a fondness for scifi you will absolutely love this series. I can't wait for the next book. I hope it won't be too long. I mean there could be a sequel to Convergence soon I hope as well.

I needed more character development
Like other listeners, I went back to Columbus Day and listened to books 1 to 14 in order because I wanted to fill in my memory blanks. In doing so, I rediscovered the unfolding story arc and realised that Alanson must have planned the story arc in careful detail before he started on the subsequent books. Good for him. That is an intelligent thing to do, especially if one plans to write a series. He must have done the same with Skippy's and Bishop's character arcs. Over the breadth of the books, we can see the characters growing and maturing. So where is this blah blah blah going, you ask?
If one has the luxury of creating such a broad story arc, I would have liked to have seen the secondary characters develop along their arcs. Jeniffer Sims, for example, plays a massive role in the stories, but we don't experience her angst in her interaction with Bishop. Jennifer is lied to, misled, and excluded from vital information that, as the XO she should have been party to. Yet beyond some brief dialogue and raised eyebrows and frowns, Jennifer goes along with much of it. Too much of it. The relationship between a captain and an XO is like a marriage. Without trust in each other, you have nothing.
At some point in the story arc, this lack of trust should have resulted in an inciting incident, a crisis where trust, betrayal of trust or lack of it should have led to a confrontation or clash that threatens the ship or crew or the mission. In short, less blah blah blah between Skippy and Bishop and more character growth and interaction ..... perhaps in the future books in the series.
