About this listen

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 fourth book of the series, James McGill is up for promotion. Not everyone is happy about that, and McGill must prove he's worth his stripes. Deployed to a strange, alien planet outside the boundaries of the Galactic Empire, he's caught up in warfare and political intrigue. Earth expands, the Cephalopod Kingdom launches ships to stop us, and a grand conspiracy emerges among the upper ranks of the Hegemony military.

In Machine World McGill faces an entirely new kind of alien life, Galactic prosecution, and thousands of relentless squid troopers. He lives and dies in the falling ashes of the empire, a man of unique honor at the dawn of humanity's resurgence.

Machine World is a military science fiction novel by best-selling author B. V. Larson. (To find the first book in the series, search for Steel World by B. V. Larson.)

Probably one of the weaker entries into the series. The stunts the main character pulled off in this one are too far fetched to have worked. But, i still enjoyed it enough to push onto the final book soon.

Bit of a stretch this time.

the growth and repeat freshness of the story and setting feels organic and I can't wait for the next instalment.

The best yet

hats off to the narrator it's because of a narrator that I have chosen to now go ahead and purchase other books written by BV Larson. this by no means is taking away the skills of the writer but in actual fact complementing the writer in a story

brilliant use of all characters hats off to Narra
