About this listen

An alien-infested colony. A trapped platoon. The one man who will stop at nothing to lead his unit to safety.

Rade Galaal and his team of special operators are deployed to a colony under attack by a strange new alien race. Their mission: find the extraterrestrial base and destroy it.

The operation should be easy, given that his men pilot Brigand mechs: massive, 25-foot-tall war machines armed to the teeth with electrolasers, rockets, incendiary throwers, and more.

But it's not easy. Rade and his team soon find themselves in over their heads.

Surrounded by an entire world of enraged aliens, they must rely on their wits, their training, and their mechs to survive.

Because their only way out is each other.

Good for a space opera.
Author tried and succeeded to add in some back story to the characters. Did get a bit tied of the “he said she said” writing when the narrator was using different voices.
Narration was good. Some of the voices could have been a bit stronger. Enjoy the narration overall though.
Will pick up the second book when it becomes available.

Good listen

An oddly complicated mech adventure marred by a half dozen dudebros doing expositional therapy.

Got halfway through and couldn’t take it anymore. Bit too much psychoanalysis and sole searching. Not what I was looking for in a book about giant battle mechs.

Couldn’t finish it

Not the cool Mech story I was expecting, listened to 1hr of it and was enough.

Fiction is for entertainment, amusement and a pastime for relaxation. It's a holiday from reality with bad ass characters in impossible situations, one of which a reader can usually latch onto for the ride. If you feel like you need lectures on how to be a victim, admittedly the latest fad to make you one of the cool crowd these days, jump right in and enjoy.

Woke agenda with a story in the ad breaks..
