Publisher's Summary

The Expeditionary Force saga continues with Breakaway, the eagerly awaited sequel to number-one Audible-ranked and New York Times best-selling Brushfire, from an epic sci-fi writer at the top of his game. Join the millions of listeners who have enjoyed R.C. Bray’s hilarious portrayal of Joe, Skippy, The Merry Band of Pirates, and so many other unforgettable characters.

The Merry Band of Pirates offered the bad guys a ceasefire. We won’t mess with them, if they don’t mess with us. Easy, right?

No.

The aliens chose to do things the hard way. So, the Pirates are racing around the galaxy to clean up the threat to Earth. The infant UN Navy has their own mission with the Alien Legion: Get humanity some allies in the fight. And the Ethics & Compliance Office might have to do something...ethical. Unless they can find a way around it.

What a Series.....

I love this series. I normally don't favour sci-fi books, but I chose the first in the series because I love listening to R.C. Bray.

How great a decision was that? I cannot recommend this series enough to anyone that will listen to me.

Get them all right now! you won't be disappointed.

Wow

This new instalment of the series has certainly answered some questions from the previous book and the ending definitely ended on a high with another six month wait for the next book but there is more questions that haven’t been answered and hopefully the next book will bring us closer to the long awaited answers.
Craig certainly has written another great book and Bob is amazing as always.

Still going strong

I found this book in the series to be really enjoyable. Interesting plot and a bit of a exposition to get the series back on track. All the mission details are great and really well thought out. My favourite parts usually involve the ethics and compliance team and while I can see the authors thought process with spinning off the series with the team from paradise, I could definitely listen to a series based on ECO.

His supreme AWSOMENESS

I’ve only listened to half of the book & already this book is 1 of my favorites. Craigs description of problems and family issues sounds authentic and real. Almost if he’s gone thru them himself. R.C Bray or @hisbrayness is a perfect narrator for this book. Every time he reads a book from this series, he sounds like he is enjoying himself. Only the novella with a full cast beats this book! Keep it up pirates!!

Just pure escapism

Brilliantly entertaining science fiction literature delivered by equally entertaining narration.
RCBray and Craig Alanson are legends.
God I would love for these books to be brought to the screen.

Worst part about finishing the book...

...I have to wait for the next one!

Just finished during my lunch break. Did not disappoint, desperately awaiting the next one (yes... It's only been 5 minutes but still can't wait)

Loved it!!

If you haven’t meet Skippy and his barrel of monkeys you have to get into this series! Another great book the developing story keeps me hooked at every wormhole and as always the narration really brings the characters to life.
