About this listen

 The planet is called Banshee. The air is unbreathable, the water poisonous. It is the home of the most implacable enemies that humanity, in all its interstellar expansion, has ever encountered.

Felix is a scout in A-team Two. Highly competent, he is the sole survivor of mission after mission. Yet he is a man consumed by fear and hatred. And he is protected not only by his custom-fitted body armor, the culmination of 10,000 years of the armorers' craft, but also by an odd being which seems to live with him, a cold killing machine he calls "the Engine."

I enjoyed the book, not well structured in places but grown up enough to keep me interested as a listener you do want to find out about Felix the whys and what not the end seems a bit rushed

Interesting book

I couldn't get into this book. The plot was too fractured, and jumped around, expecting the reader to either already know what was going on, or be prepared to listen to swathed of conversation and plot before things were explained in passing.

It was saved by an excellent reading by Tom Weiner, but ultimately I found it a bit frustrating, and couldn't finish it.

Couldn't get into it. Too jumpy and fractured
