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.

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.

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.

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.

Story
From the Audie-nominated narrator of The Martian. In eleven years' time, a million members of an alien race will arrive at Earth. Years before they enter orbit, their approach will be announced by the flare of a thousand flames in the sky, their ships' huge engines burning hard to slow them from the vast speeds needed to cross interstellar space. These foreboding lights will shine in our night sky like new stars, getting ever brighter until they outshine even the sun, casting ominous shadows and banishing the night until they suddenly blink out.

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.

Think some content editing is required
These books are great but 12 books into the series it's starting to get a lot heavier going.
Performances are still stellar by the unmatchable RC Bray but 19 Hours?
I think there needs to be a bit more content editing to shave down some waffle.
I'm not going to quit but it's starting to get more like a chore than a delight.
Still, I'll trust the awesomeness...I guess

The magic is gone
The fan boys will go on about what great read but not even the Skippy and Joe dialogue could save it. Often a problem with the series it gets bogged down in so much detail that it becomes hard work. It doesn't about help that once you get to the last hour or so you find out the majority of proceeding skippy/joe slog has OBE and was absolutely pointless. This series is is going out with a fizzle.

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.

Brilliantly entrapping from start to finish.
I listened to this book from start to finish in just 2 days, simply because I couldn't stop listening to it. Breakaway is by far the best book in the Expeditionary Force series to date, and I now eagerly await the next installment of the series to be released in December. R.C. Bray's performance through the entire series has been absolutely phenomenal, and now, whenever I think of Joe Bishop, I hear his voice as Bray's. I highly, HIGHLY recommend this book, and all the other books of the ExForce series to anyone who likes a bit of comedy, drama, fantasy and sci-fi. This series hits it all.

Yeah I’m an Addict
There’s a lot of other stuff falling by the wayside but i must admit i’m still enjoying this series and the way it’s read and presented. There are so many arcs available and real world questions that come to front case in point - proxy warfare in modern times and whether it requires a non-aligned third party to challenge the entrenched cyclical stalemate of attack and retribution drive by self serving nationalistic ideologies employed by leaderships to maintain power.

Fantastic. No woke stuff in this one
This book is MUCH better than the last. Closest thing to woke is a few sentences like “no man (or woman) would ever” ect. ect so marked improvement from the last book with that Adams chapter.
