About this listen

Enlisting was his only ticket out.

Raised fatherless in a galactic Brinktown, Joe Pikeman only ever wanted to escape.

The Galactic Guard offered that escape, with the promise of regular meals to boot. Now Joe is a full Guardsman, with his own ship and a snide partner bot who hates humans almost as much as he hates other bots.

To the pirates he hunts, Joe is known as the Butcher. His bloody reputation has landed him in the center of a sweeping conspiracy that threatens to stamp out the galaxy’s last surviving human settlements.

As Joe races against time to salvage what’s left of his species, one thing becomes crystal clear: You can never escape your past.

It all starts on Earth, humanity’s deserted homeworld....

Shocking Irish Accent

Interesting plot but full of convenience for the MC and story jolting descriptions/explanations.
Also there is the over use of the unique expletive.
Liked it but wished it was better.

Went from good science fiction to end up as a fantasy story with spells and rubbish. Couldn’t finish the audio book. Very disappointed.

I liked the synopsis and the fact that you get 27 hours listening for one credit was very attractive; plus I have enjoyed other Scott Bartlett books. This one failed, however. I had to stop listening repeatedly and ended up not finishing because it just seemed to get sillier and sillier, which made me lose interest!
Mark Boyett's excellent narration held it together for a long time, but then I think I just got tired with the story!

The story seemed promising...

the story is brilliant but this particular audiobook is absolutely amazing due to the performance by Mark Boyett. Marks ability to jump from character to character is the best I've experienced so far you had no doubt what character he was reading for making it effortless to follow along with the story.

entertaining story.
