About this listen

The mission to destroy the enemy Gateway was literally a smashing success.

Except the Pirates were too late, and now not one but two of the enemy are loose in the galaxy. And they are equipped with starships more powerful than Valkyrie. A direct fight would be hopeless, so the Pirates must rely on wacky ideas from the mushy brain of a monkey—and some serious sketchiness.

The Expeditionary Force saga continues in book 19 from epic sci-fi writer Craig Alanson and narrated by none other than R.C. Bray.

Over the past few 2 books I felt like I was starting to enjoy the series a little less, but this book brought back the feeling of Match Game. Brilliant story as always

Best in a while

Like many, I have loved this series from my first listen of book 1, Columbus Day, Following Joe and Skippys adventures now in Book 19,
I have to say this was much better than I thought it would be, after the lack lustre book 18,
I did enjoy most of this book, however Like many I did note repeats of previous scenes, IE (( spoiler alert)) Overturned truck)) rewritten?????
The last 3rd of this book is the best part, reminded me of the earlier books.
R.C, as always makes this book, His bringing to life of the various characters is second to none.

Over all, Worth a listen. My first

Question, Have they changed the editing team for this book, I noted quite a few editing errors, which have never occurred previously! Was it rushed to meet launch date, as the previous book was put back from release several times.

I look forward to book 20

Slow start but what an ending
