About this listen

For most on Earth the war was over. For him, it's just beginning . . .

Jake Adlar's goals in life were simple—possibly nonexistent. All he wanted was to fly a desk. Hence, he'd joined the Space Force, the service with the most extensive array of Earth-side clerical specialties.

All he needed to make him happy was an office, a computer, his favorite coffee mug, and a never-ending pile of requisitions.

Then a pretty woman came along. Perhaps a drink or ten. Next thing Jake knew, he's shipped off to the Legions, doomed to fight in the seemingly endless war raging throughout the galaxy.

Now, survival tops the chart. Except that isn't so easy to do in the Legions, where everyone's a killer, officers are as merciless as the enemy, and dark schemes and secrets brood within the ranks.

Don't miss the start of this action-packed military sci-fi series from debut M. V. Viltch. Perfect for fans of Joshua Dalzelle, Rick Partlow, and Marko Kloos.

I've never seen a book be more illogical while laying out a plot line, expecting you at the same time to ignore every hole with it while it's quite literally being shoved into your face. Again and again, the author uses the main character's so-called short attention span, low IQ, and general lack of awareness as reasoning for the character or book missing story elements, key information, general information, or gaining conflicting information. It just doesn't make sense when his life is being threatened over and over. Once, sure. Twice, okay. Thrice, um. Yet still, again and again. It's honestly not entertaining but tiresome. Every time you think the story will finally perk up and go somewhere, a new hole, sorry, plot point emerges and the main character gains blinkers again, ignoring everything else that's previously happened -- Oh, while of course remembering it all and not linking it while saying something inane like he was just done with it happening to him. The author seems to use this over and over to try and obscure his plot and make it seem intriguing. It's not intriguing, it's honestly ridiculous. No one is this stupid, though I certainly feel dumb listening right the way to the end of this awful book. Hoping the entire time it would get better. Half the time I honestly believe the author just couldn't be bothered filling out the lore.

At least the narration was good. Props there.

What the hell is this.
