À propos de cet audio

When a towering alien monolith crashes onto James McGill's family farm, it triggers events that could spark a galaxy-wide war.

Things have gone bad among the colonies. Insurgents are building alien-hybrid armies and planet-killing weapons, threatening to upend the fragile balance of power in Province 921.

There's not only trouble in the province—the Core Worlds are igniting as well. The Mogwa have asserted claims upon the Imperial Throne, causing their rivals to move against them. Earth's Hegemony and the rebels are pulled into a conflict that could tear the galaxy apart.

Civil War looms, and McGill has only one chance to get ahead of it. Can he bluff, fight, and lie his way through a maze of shifting loyalties and dangerous enemies?

Find out in Rebel World, the latest entry in B. V. Larson's USA Today bestselling Undying Mercenaries series—modern military sci-fi at its finest.

This was a rough one to get through. Parts of it read like the older entries, with familiar dialogue and plot points, but there is a absolute glut of filler descriptions and metaphors. Not to mention an extremely weird fixation on scuffs and scrapes on surfaces all over the place. Some characters read as completely different personalities, and some conversations were disjointed, widely jumping in tone, and some characters acting like it's a brand new conversation when they were already having one half way through.

As always Mark Boyett narrated excellently, continuing to bring the McGill swagger to the presentation even if the narrative itself felt off. I sincerely hope this is a lone stumble for Mr. Larson, and whatever creative or editorial cramps are worked out for future installments of McGill's adventures.

Definitely one of the better books of the series. I burst out laughing multiple times.

Very funny

As if I was a puppy barely being able to keep up with a butterfly, the story is hard to keep track of with all the filler descriptions. Like an uncle with memory loss who saw a drunk seal being squished by an alien spider, the descriptions within the story are crushing. There are glimmers of plots like a father flipping through channels to find what he wants to watch until the plot is lost again with endless analogies and metaphors to pad of the length and runtime on an audiobook. Like a pig fart in a barn, they add nothing new. But hearing a pig fart in a barn makes you curious like what will come next in the book. Is it story? Is it an analogy? Is it a fart? Is it perfectly shaped booty? Is it a metaphor? You just keep on guessing like you are reading the book as if it's narrated by a great voice.

Chapter 2 is just a collection of textbook definitions of analogies with metaphors sprinkled in. Then they come in waves. The undying mercenary is a cool idea and storyline but padding out runtime and book size with useless descriptions makes it pretty terrible to listen to as an audiobook when all you hear is endless 'like', 'as' and 'than'

Analogy vs Metaphor, The Book

Honestly I really struggled getting through this one. I've listened to the entire series three times now--something about Mark Boyett's Georgia drawl soothes me, I guess--but this latest book was a hard slog. It seems very disjointed, with no coherent story, with a lot of repetition and filler. It seemed like endless rehashing of old characters and settings with no real interesting situations. Seems like Larson is scraping the bottom of the barrel here. The story was advanced a little bit but I felt like nothing really happened in this book. This series badly needs a breath of fresh air.
