Story4.5 out of 5 stars 2,322
We were fighting on the wrong side of a war we couldn't win. And that was the good news. The Ruhar hit us on Columbus Day. There we were, innocently drifting along the cosmos on our little blue marble, like the native Americans in 1492. Over the horizon come ships of a technologically advanced, aggressive culture, and BAM! There go the good old days, when humans only got killed by each other. So, Columbus Day. It fits. When the morning sky twinkled again, this time with Kristang starships jumping in to hammer the Ruhar, we thought we were saved.

The human soldiers stranded on the planet Paradise have been recruited into an alien legion to do the dirty jobs that the high-tech species won't do. Their first mission is to kick the enemy off a backwater planet no one cares about. It's a simple assignment, except everyone has a hidden agenda, and the planet could become a deathtrap.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 428
My name is Kazimir Wolfe. People call me "Kaz", except they don’t. I never use my real name; it’s too dangerous, for me and for anyone I meet. I’m on the run from the law, who think I killed my aunt, and from whoever did kill her, because they want to finish the job. So, I move around a lot, working construction or whatever job I can find. It’s a lonely life. I don’t let anyone get close...people who get close to me end up dead. Why? I’m a wizard. The world’s only wizard, as far as I know.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 387
The Wizard's Council of Tarador was supposed to tell young Koren Bladewell that he is a wizard. They were supposed to tell everyone that he is not a jinx, that all the bad things that happen around him are because he can't control the power inside him, power he doesn't know about. The people of his village, even his parents, are afraid of him, afraid he is cursed. That he is a dangerous, evil jinx.

Publisher's Summary
United Nations Special Operations Command sent an elite expeditionary force of soldiers and pilots out on a simple recon mission, and somehow along the way they sparked an alien civil war. Now the not-at-all-merry band of pirates is in desperate trouble, again. Their stolen alien starship is falling apart, thousands of light years from home. The ancient alien AI they nicknamed Skippy is apparently dead, and even if they can by some miracle revive him, he might never be the same.

Getting Bored
Love the story and the characters but am starting to get a bit bored.
We have 5 books in the series now and am wondering what book 6 will bring - will it be more of the same or will it climax. I hope book six is the last otherwise this adventure is starting to drag out.

Scared of it getting stale..
OK so not knocking the book because I enjoyed it. Great story, interesting ending and wonderful performance as always by RC Bray! But like some others here, I'm started to wonder where it's gonna lead... Will it be another 30 books or will it end in book 6-7?
Not because I don't enjoy the characters, but more that it's starting to remind me of how I felt about the TV show Lost. So many mysteries, and it was so awesome at the start but then it was like hey keep following these breadcrumbs until next season and then next season until you have the last season which was ok but the mystery got too big for one season to explain. Ok I'm starting to rant here..
Basic jist, if you liked the other books you'll like this one but I hope the writer starts moving the overarching series story forward with a bit with more pace..

Amazing performance
The narrator has to be one of the best I've heard! Easily rivalling Micheal Kramer and Kate Reading! Expeditionary Force itself is a wonderful mashup of epic scifi space opera and comedy. Earth is attacked by advanced star faring aliens and strikes up an allience with a patron race who seeming saves earth. Without giving too much away things turn out rather unexpected as we travel the universe through the eyes of humble military grunt Joe Bishop. At first I couldn't stand his accent and stero typical military mucho man persona, however just like this saga he surprised me and I found it hard to not love old Barney.... (inside joke for readers). The overall story is pretty great and does suffer from characters in plot armor and their ability to make it out of continuous escalated situations. But the charm and wit of the delivery let's you just enjoy this wild ride! Sometimes you just need to relax get lost in epic space battles and zany situations without worrying about plot armor or deus ex machina. Not all stories need to be hard to follow or have us question theories best left to professor's of English literature. Download the first book sit down have fun!

Fantastic oration - story was rushed at the end
Loving this series of books, but the major encounter at the end felt rushed compared to some of the less important adventure sequences in the middle part of the book. Still, I can't wait to "read" the next book.
