Publisher's Summary

The Galactics arrived with their Battle fleet in 2052. Rather than being exterminated under a barrage of hell-burners, Earth joined a vast Empire that spanned the Milky Way. Our only worthwhile trade goods are our infamous mercenary legions, elite troops we sell to the highest alien bidder. In the third book in the series, James McGill is deployed on another alien world. His third interstellar tour is different in every way. Rather than meeting up with a primitive society, this time he’s headed to an advanced world. Tau Ceti, better known as Tech World, is the central trading capital of Frontier 921. McGill figures he’s lucked out. The assignment looks dull but luxurious. Tau Ceti boasts a planet-wide city with a trillion inhabitants, all of whom are only interested in making a few credits. But all is not well on Tech World. The Empire is crumbling, an invasion is coming, and McGill’s easy ride through life and death has come to an end.

I'm amazed

I didn't think that the series would have as much depth as it has shown over 3 books. and with the preview of the 4th book, I see that the plot is widening it's scope. I'm glad my first impression was incorrect.

It seems I'm forced to enter this OPTIONAL heading

Another excellent sequel.
only one criticism: don't name ships that sound similar to genitalia. Naming the ship 'Pinus' equals low brow humor. I'm pretty sure that wasn't the authors intention so, I'm letting it pass.

Science... fantasy?

While I love the premise of this series, I can't help but think this is turning into some x-rated fantasy story. The main character keeps sleeping with all the women, going back and forth. It is quite unrealistic and I wish there was a skip scene feature.

A master of Modern character building

A noticeable lack of post-modern or even meta modern character development. The main protagonist is unapologetically a principled moral modern soldier who has clear values and acts on them. The alien worlds always feel authentic and arouse interest to know more, and than we are off to a new world. Narration is 10/10.

Written by your old boomer uncle who calls you gay because you wear sunscreen

I've read 3 of these because the world building really pulled me in, but the "I'm just a real life, warm blooded, American man" "boys will be boys" "happy wife, happy life" bull-shittery just got too cringey. I kept holding out for a point when it would be revealed as a character flaw that had to be worked on, but I ultimately couldn't get through a chapter without an involuntary "ew". So I stopped.

It feels like military space combat fanfic

...unless it's written by someone making fun of mysogeny? maybe in that context it would work.

Narrator Mark Boyett is 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽 though.
