About this listen

The Galaxy is a Dumpster Fire.

A hot, stinking, dumpster fire. And most days I don't know if the legionnaires are putting out the flames, or fanning them into an inferno.

A hostile force ambushes Victory Company during a reconnaissance-in-force deep inside enemy territory. Stranded behind enemy lines, a sergeant must lead a band of survivors against merciless insurgents on a deadly alien world somewhere along the galaxy's edge. With no room for error, the Republic's elite fighting force must struggle to survive under siege while waiting on a rescue that might never come.

Join Victory Company as they fight for their lives. When you think you've surrounded the Legion... you've just made your last mistake.

Absolutely loved Legionnaire. It’s a proper page-turner—fast-paced, action-packed, and just really well told. The story has a solid structure, never loses momentum, and the world feels gritty and believable without getting bogged down in detail.

R.C. Bray’s narration is spot on too. He gives real personality to the characters and keeps the intensity up the whole way through.

If you’re into military sci-fi, this one’s a no-brainer. Already keen to dive into the next book.

There is too much action in the first half of the book… and this is from someone who really likes action. But it needed to be interspersed with slower segments with more dialogue.

My main issue is that I wasn’t really made to “care” about the characters. None of them, even the protagonist, seem to have much of a backstory or conscience. It is not helped that there are no real ethical dilemmas or complexity - just shooting and making sure everything is dead. There is also very little humour, which feels lacking.

The ending felt very unsatisfying to me, and the epilogue is bleak and drags on and on and on.

Won’t be coming back for other books in the series. If you want something better with more humour and character development, I would suggest Expeditionary Force.
