About this listen

From the author of Planetside, a Best Book of 2018 (Library Journal)

A military legend is caught in the web between alien intrigue and human subterfuge....

Following his mission on Cappa, Colonel Carl Butler returns to a mixed reception. To some, he is a do-or-die war hero. To the other half of the galaxy, he’s a pariah. Forced into retirement, he has resettled on Talca Four where he’s now Deputy VP of Corporate Security, protecting a high-tech military company on the corporate battlefield - at least, that’s what the job description says. Really, he’s just there to impress clients and investors. It’s all relatively low risk - until he’s entrusted with new orders. A breach of a competitor’s computer network has Butler’s superiors feeling every bit as vulnerable. They need Butler to find who did it, how, and why no one’s taken credit for the ingenious attack.

As accustomed as Butler is to the reality of wargames - virtual and otherwise - this one screams something louder than a simple hack. Because no sooner does he start digging when his first contact is murdered, the death somehow kept secret from the media. As a prime suspect, he can’t shake the sensation he’s being watched...or finally succumbing to the stress of his past. Paranoid delusion or dangerous reality, Butler might be onto something much deeper than anyone imagined. But that’s where Butler thrives.

If he hasn’t signed his own death warrant.

Great story, wonderful performance

Although much like the first novel, this story is nothing mind blowing or ground breaking, but it IS a wonderful excuse for some high stakes space mercenary nonsense. Fun, always upbeat, with a decent mix of 'marines in space ships' light military SciFi and surprisingly interesting world building. Great voice acting and a likable, gruff but not a dickbag main character really help to bring it all together, it is super refreshing to see some good military SciFi that doesn't have to lean on modern political memes to build it's setting and core conflict.

a worthwhile sequel

The sequel is just as good as the first book. It is not just a formulaic repeat either. Things from the first book had consequences that have impacted all the characters, so things start from a much different status quo which was immediately intriguing.

All the strengths from the first book are back. The humour of the main character, the fast pace, and the blend of mystery and action are all written and performed just as well.
The story is tightly connected to the events from the previous book and it was satisfying to get to see the consequences play out for the main character and how he chooses to deal with them.

If you enjoyed "Planetside" chances are high you will appreciate this one as well.

Even better than Planetside!

This was a terrific book, filled great mysteries, an engaging plot, and characters I love. I also really enjoy Butler - watching his character develop is really a treat. RC Bray is perfect. I binged this straight into the third installment, Colonyside. I highly recommend this book.
