About this listen

Go to war or go to jail.

For small-time street hustler Cam Alvarez, the choice is simple. He has no family, no friends, no place in the world...nothing to lose. When his latest con results in the death of a cartel hitman, Cam opts to join the Marines and leave Earth to fight a vicious alien enemy.

Drafted into the Marine Drop-Troopers, Cam discovers there’s one thing he’s even better at than running street-con games, and that’s killing the enemy. Wrapped in an armored battlesuit, Cam finds purpose amidst the horror and destruction of the war, and the opportunity for a new sort of friends and family...if he can break the habits of a life spent alone, trusting no one.

And, if he can survive....

Rick Partlow returns with another kickass military sci-fi epic. It's perfect for fans of Jay Allan, Jasper T. Scott, and Scott Bartlett.

Contact front is a great Mil sci-fi novel which Rick Partlow builds a new interesting story universe, and introduces us to it only the main characters back story in such a way that you care what happens to this character, and all the characters story throughout the plot of the novel, building with intensity and excitement throughout. James Patrick Cronin bings the characters to life well with his narration, and injects the right amount of emotion and excitement into the story arc that I am sure the author will appreciate.

Overall a great first novel and I am totally looking forward to the next chapter in this series.

he story felt right, the characters aren't perfect and arse holes aren't completely and utterly evil. A lot of people die. Some characters do evil but through pettiness, fear, being life worn and heck lazyness. But there's usually a bit of complexity beneath it. Basically they're fallaible and I like it.

and hey even the main characters brought but a bit when he's been a bit of a shit.

The flash backs work well and help role out the main characters back ground and explain his issues over time, basically flashback PTSD, it works well.

Interesting world quickly built, that counties to role out well and reasonably simple story told well. Honestly, I really enjoyed this one.

onto the next!

honestly loved the narration great story
