The planet is called Banshee. The air is unbreathable, the water poisonous. It is the home of the most implacable enemies that humanity, in all its interstellar expansion, has ever encountered.

Felix is a scout in A-team Two. Highly competent, he is the sole survivor of mission after mission. Yet he is a man consumed by fear and hatred. And he is protected not only by his custom-fitted body armor, the culmination of 10,000 years of the armorers' craft, but also by an odd being which seems to live with him, a cold killing machine he calls "the Engine."

This is an interesting one. I like the themes and main character but grew tired of it near the end. The narrator is quite good, I like the gravelly voice altough it can make picking out which character is speaking difficult. The writing is quickly paced and simplified, could have used more details at various moments but the book is also too long after the intro the bulk of the book felt like filler but eventually comes together at the end.



Fun listen, worth the time but hard to recommend
