About this listen

Some days it just doesn’t pay to be a soldier.

Captain Rick Galloway and his men had been talked into volunteering for a dangerous mission, only to be ruthlessly abandoned when faceless CIA higher-ups pulled the plug on the operation. They were cut off in hostile territory, with local troops and their Cuban “advisors” rapidly closing in—and then the alien spaceship landed.

Rescued from certain death, they now must fight another world’s war.

This book as good today as when I first read it in ' 84. The narrator is one of the best, if not the best, working for Audible.

It’s not often you come across a book that both surprises the reader and draws you in. Well worth listening to and no follow up books.

A surprisingly enjoyable read

Quite enjoyable.
Now where is the fourth book in the series? If I knew the series was incomplete I would not have started.
