About this listen
The human soldiers stranded on the planet Paradise have been recruited into an alien legion to do the dirty jobs that the high-tech species won't do. Their first mission is to kick the enemy off a backwater planet no one cares about. It's a simple assignment, except everyone has a hidden agenda, and the planet could become a deathtrap.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 1,442
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.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 352
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.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 213
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.

Clever Story with Great Characters
Really enjoyed hearing the story of the author at the end. He has an inspiring story as well. He pointed out that he has the progression for the series already sussed out and each novel is leading to his finale. You feel like you are in good hands when you hear this.

Another slam dunk from team Alanson and Bray!
Awaiting impatiently for the next one in the series!
RC Bray is a superb narrator for another of Craig Alanson's novels in this epic series! Star Trek and Star Wars...move over for the competition!

An engaging story brought to life by RC Bray
This is one of the standout titles in the Expeditionary Force series, despite being a spin-off from the main storyline.
Mavericks brings back characters from previous novels in intertwining storylines that feel plausible and authentic, and Craig Alanson takes the opportunity to flesh out these characters with more personality, motivation, and backstory. One character in particular has hilarious lines given to him that make sense in-universe, and RC Bray's deadpan voicing of this particular character takes the series' comedy to new heights.
Overall, an easy recommendation for any ExForce fan that sets up some plot lines for future novels.

Another Winner!
Okay, I admit I miss the shiny asshole of a beer can "heh heh heh"...but that said, this was a fun read, but what will it mean to the safety of earth?!?! Intricate story, with laughs and a few tears...another winner in my library...it won't be the last time I pull this audiobook off my proverbial shelf!

Another great production from Alanson and Bray
If you love the Expeditionary Force universe then you'll love this take from a different perspective, of humans and aliens fighting alongside and against each other, in an epic ground battle. It's fun, it's funny, and I can't wait for #2!

Another great Expeditionary Force series!
I really like the story line here as I have with the 6 Expeditionary Force books I’ve read so far. Both series manage to keep my interest and never run out of new ideas and scenarios to keep me coming back. Great narration too by R. C. Bray! He keeps my coming back as well.
