About this listen

Legion Dark Ops has always been a unit shrouded in secrecy. Tasked with performing covert missions, its kill teams are filled with the best warriors from within the ranks of the Legion.

Kel Turner is one of the youngest legionnaires ever to be selected to its ranks. After many battles and trials, he is faced with the greatest challenge of his life - operating by himself on a remote planet at the galaxy's edge, a foot soldier for the policies of the duplicitous House of Reason, tasked with solving a crisis that would take ten kill teams to resolve.

Diplomats, spies, shadowy terrorist groups, and an enigmatic general work with and against Kel as he fights to save a society from itself. What can one operator do alone, separated from his kill team, fighting a war that has no name?

This lone operator doesn't know what it will take to win. He only knows he's not going to lose.

Aside from the T Rechs stand alone books I have really enjoyed all the GE books but I found this book too hard to engage with, not for me but I am sure many others with love it

A bit of a struggle

Didn't find the characters interesting and the story was predictable and a little boring. Have really enjoyed most of the other GE books so this was a little disappointing.

Wasn't that engaged with this one

This book was just good, slightly above average. the reader was great though. I would recommend if you are really into military SciFi. But the original 6 books are incomparable.

Just good

I like Kel, but he's also a pain. He is too good all the time. Everything he does reads like a self-help book. And the narrator doesn't help. A livelier more genuine narration would have helped, but it sounds very forced and synthetic. I had to speed up the book way up from my usual, just to get some tempo.

Goody two-shoes

We have cooks, caring professionals and damsels in distress. was this written in the 50s? Stephen Dexter is a brilliant narrator. shame about the content.

what happened to the women?
