About this listen

The Silicoids are a growing threat from beyond the frontier. Launching waves of crystalline drones, they ravage colonies all along the border of the Empire. Earth has been forced to ally with her enemies against this mysterious alien menace.

Scouts have located a forward base of the freakish creatures, who plot to annihilate all meat-based lifeforms. Earth assembles a joint task force with legions of Rigellian bears, Mogwa battlecruisers, and Saurian troops. Together, they strike as one against Crystal World.

After annoying every superior in his chain of command, James McGill is the first to be deployed on the unexplored planet. His mission: to establish a beachhead on this strange, hostile ground. Surrounded and cut off, his troops fight to the bitter end against creatures made of earth, stone, and jewels.

Find out what happens next in Crystal World, the thrilling 20th book of the Undying Mercenaries series. With millions of copies sold, USA Today Bestselling author B.V. Larson is the king of modern military science fiction.

Etta marrying a Hog? What will McGill do about that? Murder? Not as funny as the other books either
The plots a little bit thinner as well Boudica seems to be unneeded and adds nothing to the storyline. Galina barely makes an appearance but at least she worms out of becoming Consul of all Earth

Not as good this time out

I love the way you could just lose yourself in these stories and just smile at good old James McGill 🤣 

Another great adventure for McGill

Enjoyed the story and the character progression our protagonist is making. Love how he’s rubbing shoulders with the high up brass and craving a pint.

Always craving the next one

I left a similar review for the previous book. The Magill character has certainly improved this time. But his cluelessness is still past the point of reasonable. After 100 years of life, there should be more character development than this. It would make the storyline more interesting.

Better but still quite unreasonably clueless.
