Story
In the 20th century Earth sent probes, transmissions, and welcoming messages to the stars. Unfortunately, someone noticed. The Galactics arrived with their battle fleet in 2052. Rather than being exterminated under a barrage of hell-burners, Earth joined their vast Empire. Swearing allegiance to our distant alien overlords wasn't the only requirement for survival. We also had to have something of value to trade, something that neighboring planets would pay their hard-earned credits to buy. As most of the local worlds were too civilized to have a proper army, the only valuable service Earth could provide came in the form of soldiers....

Story
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.

Story
They hunt us. They bomb our worlds for target practice. A star cluster in the constellation of Orion rotates once every 1,000 years. Those who rule there have an ancient tradition: When each cycle ends, they train their fleets by spilling the blood of lesser beings. The enemy fleets are coming again. In response, the Rebel Worlds gather their starships to face the terrifying threat, and this time humanity is asked to stand with them. The last time they considered Earth, Vikings in longboats were raiding English coastlines. Today, we're less primitive. Today, we're a target.

The colony on Haven-7 has gone rogue. The colonists have split into two factions: the Techborn and the Dusters. The Techborn have always ruled the planet. They control the remnants of the crashed starship that brought humanity to this new world. The Dusters… they eat Techborn dust. Now, the Techborn strength is waning. Their weapons are getting old, and radiation leaks from the aging reactors have created mutations. Some of these, like their brutish troops known as Tuskers, have proven useful—but others are abominations.

Story
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.

Consistent quality
I have Listened to many B. V. Larson books and they do not tend to dissapoint. Death World is no exception and with my favourite narrator Mark Boyett at the helm, you simply cannot go wrong. Death World is a real adventure, it will keep you hooked right to the end.
The characters and the world they are in are brought to life with Larson's talent for knowing what his readers/listeners need to know and what they do not, you quickly become immersed in the emotions, actions, choices, life experiences and current situational reality of the characters.
Yes, this is another Sci Fi story, it is however executed far better than many others. B. V, Larson has written a staggering number of books and I have enoyed about a dozen of them, its really quite imprressive how Larson keeps the quality and passion so high in so many books, but he does and he should be applauded for his consistent high quality of story writing.
Larson's quality writing along the perfect choice of narrator makes these books a must. I have Listened to many B. V. Larson books and they do not tend to dissapoint. Death World is no exception and with my favourite narrator Mark Boyett at the helm, you simply cannot go wrong. #Audible1

With the combination of Larson's talent, understanding of the human condition both in reality and in fiction, passion and endless fountain of detailed and creative ideas, coupled with the perfect narrator choice every time, these books are a must!

Good story
Honestly the only thing that holds this entire series back, is the constant retelling of how McGill has slept with this person and that person and has special relations with this person in the past being said over and over again, and tired of all the her curvy body and fine lines and sexy. It's often enough that it is annoying. It happens way to often. For a series about space battles and coming back to life.
Otherwise this story is great, great pacing, great characters.

Great science fiction but needs less womanizing.
I really like the writing and the overall story... but I have to fast forward through the "I admired her backside and then we made love" moments. It is very unrealistic to think every woman in the book would sleep with him, back and forth. These interactions are very awkward to listen to. He is NOT that guy... otherwise it is quite great.

Fun, fast paced and entertaining. Larson's character development is excellent. All the characters you love to hate are back along with all the good guys.
Mark Boyette does a fantastic job of narrating. I love that all his character voices are distinct.

Keeps surprising
Just when I was expecting the series to devolve into some Mary Sue conventions, it picks up the pace. As much as a series about functionally immortal mercenaries can be described as Mary Sue. Larson keeps spinning out more interesting threads, and I think some of the characters have matured, finally. Boyett continues to do a great job with the narration.
