About this listen

Contains books one and two of the Deadland Drifter series.

Deadland Drifter, book 1:

When a dental appointment goes sideways, former Union operative Jack Burner wakes to find himself drugged and imprisoned, and he's given a choice: assassinate an admiral or be killed himself.

With no other option, Jack reluctantly accepts the mission, only to find himself being trailed by a mysterious blonde woman who may or may not want him dead. As if dealing with a terrorist group wasn't enough.

With the fate of the admiral and thousands of lives hanging in the balance, Jack stands in the middle of an event that could ignite a war on the edge of the Deadlands and Union Space. Despite his exceptional abilities, training, and tenacity, even Jack has little to no chance of preventing this particular powder keg from exploding. He's going to need a miracle.

Deadland Wanderer, book 2:

A mysterious message beckons Jack to a clandestine "meet", but something is off. The code is identical to one his team used back in his Union days.

When no one shows, he and Sara find themselves drawn into an investigation to uncover who sent the message...and why.

It isn't long before they find a trafficking ring that snatches women from shelters and wipes their memories, all with the hope of selling them to the rich and powerful as "wives". But this is bigger than just a gang of criminals. There's an organization that stretches across both sides of the law with connections to elected officials at the very top.

Very obviously a Jack Reacher rip off! should be called Reacher in space!
Good narration though.
my main complaint is serious inconsistencies and plot holes..
e.g.
Jack finds an audio bug in his tooth with apparently unlimited range, later a tracker has limited range.
A vagrant with an open fire on a street on a space station! Really?
Derelict abandoned buildings on a space station?
Many idiotic choices made by the the main protagonist.

poor imitation of Jack Reacher in space

I listened to these two books on the off chance as I was struggling with another book. Found the two books very listenable and enjoyed the story. Kind of hooks you in as you want to know what happens in the end. I would say good listen but I have listen to better but as I said I had to listen to the whole series once I started…..

Interesting thriller

Basically that. Not as good as reacher but similar backstory and plot types. Could do with more tying up of the ends. Good performance.

Reacher in Space

I liked this book, both of them. It will not win any Nebula awards but it was relaxing.
The SciFi part is more of a backdrop, not much part of the story.
This is about the main character and the cases he "investigates".
I liked the profiling of the people part but it gets forgotten along the way.
What i disliked the most was the female voice of the narrator, who does a great job otherwise and that the story tried to be more clever than it was. The entire action is based on a stupid premise, it seems ok in the beginning until they try to say that the pnal was much more detailed but it actually stops making sense...
I will leave it at that.
So good and relaxing book.

Entertaining as long as you do not think too much

Interesting setup, but the story fell flat. Jack’s decisions made no sense he just does what his kidnappers want, and the tooth thing that started it all is never resolved, just forgotten by author. Too many plot holes to stay invested.

Lazy writing and a lot of plot holes
