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 third book in the series, James McGill is deployed on another alien world. His third interstellar tour is different in every way. Rather than meeting up with a primitive society, this time he’s headed to an advanced world. Tau Ceti, better known as Tech World, is the central trading capital of Frontier 921. McGill figures he’s lucked out. The assignment looks dull but luxurious. Tau Ceti boasts a planet-wide city with a trillion inhabitants, all of whom are only interested in making a few credits. But all is not well on Tech World. The Empire is crumbling, an invasion is coming, and McGill’s easy ride through life and death has come to an end.

You know what to expect. Starting to get a broader plot, leaving behind the standard mission by mission format to include galactic war. Woo

If you have made it this far...

I enjoyed the first book, the second book was getting a bit tired with the protag constantly being self absorbed, misogynistic and somehow being able to talk his military betters (who have decades more experience) into doing what he wants.
This third book ruined the story for me and was predictible... SPOILER... even though Imperator Turov hates the protag and has tried to kill him in the previous books, he purposely gets her heavily drunk, sleeps with her in her drunken state and then believes he was the victim because she is a higher rank in the military. He then goes on to constantly disrespect her without consequence even though the series references several times their Roman structure and floggings being common.
The story just isn't enjoyable to listen to at this point and from what I've read book four gets worse.
Dropping this series.

Steadily getting worse

the story is becoming very same same. sure you can put a different alien in, or change the environment. but it's a repetitive formula. and the politics are dreary for something with the scope of a galaxy.
my biggest grievance is with the lack of character development though. same stupid decisions being made, and always predictable. was endearing at first, but no lessons are being learnt, and the naive natures become boring.
still an excellent idea. just slowly becoming bored.

Imperator is NOT pronounced imp per art or. Every. Single. Time. He could have at least searched this before mispronouncing it 4 times a chapter.

Enraged at Mark Boyett's pronunciation mistakes
