About this listen

The Battle Lines Are Drawn.

The Coalition is reeling. New Vega and its other worlds have fallen beneath the boot of the newly allied Savage marines, and the death count continues to rise at a staggering rate. One thing is clear: The war to come will be a fight for the very survival of the species. For both sides in this conflict, now is the time to become what fate, and victory, demand.

The Savages - post-human monsters who believe themselves to be gods - are intent on remaking civilization in their own violent and pathological image. Yet their alliance is tenuous. Among the many tribes of the Uplifted, as they call themselves, the struggle for supremacy rages on. All know that in the end there can be only one tribe. One leader. One truth.

Meanwhile humanity’s last, desperate hope is the formation of a new kind of fighting force: The Legion. Those select few who are hardy enough - or foolish enough - to undertake the relentless, grueling, and merciless candidate training will have the chance to be transformed into mythical heroes...or die trying. They will be pushed beyond their physical and mental limits as they seek to survive an unforgiving planet, lost and derelict ghost spaceships, and, worst of all, the cold, unflinching brutality of Tyrus Rechs. At the end of this crucible, only the one percent of the one percent will earn the right to be called...

...Legionnaires.

Performed by Stephen Lang (Tombstone, Avatar), Galaxy’s Edge: Gods & Legionnaires brings you into the mind of the Savage marines and shows you the heart required to enter the Legion in the second epic installment of Galaxy’s Edge: Savage Wars.

No words, ( ok maybe just a few) I'm just going to listen to the whole damn thing again. Just WOW !

Two incredible tales, Cole and Anspach smash it out of the park again. Stephen Lang is amazing, Ray Porter and he are by far the best GE Narrators.

Do I get to leave another review on second and third listen... ?

Gob smacked and in love!

Outstanding - My new favourite GE book

If you are after the tried and true formula of action action action, KTF send in the legion, then i can understand this book being a bit of a let down. but....
This is a diamond in the rough, a blend of traditional sci-fi - taking some alien concept and seeing how far an author can roll with it, and the galaxy's edge desperate military heroism. Which it blends magnificently.
The book largely exists inside the head of a savage marine, which comes with a heavy dose of introspection.
The real beauty of this book is that at the end your left thinking that, despite these people being cannibals, despite them being slavers, despite them having a class based hierarchie that encourages them to kill their friends to get head in life. Despite all that, maybe these people aren't that bad..

Best book in the galaxy edge serives

Great delivery, perspective and character development. Ties in well before reading season 2 of Galaxy Edge.

Great story and performance by narrator

This chapter in The Savage Wars isn't your typical Galaxy's Edge book.

For starters you finally get to see things from the Savage perspective. Which is a manic, hamburger fuelled, video game, celebrity existential crisis.
Almost as if Dr Disrespect went to space and went insane over the course of 500 years.

It did take a bit of adjustment to get into the first half but worth it as it does open your eyes to the madness of the Savages.

Lang stands out once again and performed amazingly.

A fever dream followed by the forging of The Legio

First 35 chapters are just filler as the delve into a single savage with all his hang ups feel that this could of been done with half the amount for what I wanted was to read the forming of the legions which seem far to rushed

Bit of a slog

This is not the “filler” book some are saying it is. It’s just different.
What it brings to Galaxy’s edge is very relevant. It’s well written and shows the flexibility of the authors. I highly recommend it to all fans of the series.

Bad note is the production of the narration. As with the first book the audio is a combination of 2-3 seperate readings pieced together, seemingly by a 40y/o, 50y/o and 60y/o the way the voice varies in places. Not as bad as the first book of the Savages series but offensive to the ears when it happens.

Excellent

this book is so over the place if you stop listening for 10 seconds you have no idea what's happening. it's also so dull that daydreaming while it is playing is very likely. I've loved the other books by these authors but this book was just not the same standard it felt like they crammed so much useless garbage in just to pad it.

don't listen if you are trying to stay awake.

First book in this whole series that I haven’t been able to listen to all of it. Exhaustive introspective existential ramblings for 34 chapters (9 of which I trudged through). Skipped to chapter 32 and the rest of the book was great.

Exhausting
