About this listen

Get this 32-hour box set of pure kickass military sci-fi - a thrill ride combining space opera and first contact!

Terminal Lance Lucky Lee Savage likes his life. Sure, doing PT hungover is a pain, but no one can dodge responsibility like he can - or sweet-talk the cooks into giving out double rations.

But when Lucky’s ambushed behind enemy lines and left for dead, along with a handful of privates so boot they actually respect his authority, he has to step up, manage the ambitions of his foul-mouthed AI, and figure out what’s tearing a hole in the fabric of space-time before everything goes haywire.

Lucky wouldn’t bet on the universe. One thing he will bet on: Somewhere, somehow, somebody is going to pay for all this. And he is going to be right there to pull the trigger.

If you like Aliens and Firefly, you'll love this funny, gritty, and endlessly entertaining series!

  • Lucky Universe
  • Lucky Legacy

Good story
Engaging, twisting, random saga that keeps you engaged and guessing at every step of the story.
Just beware there are a few passages where I think they went a little over the top on gory violence, sections the the book would suffer to lose, but apart from that thoroughly enjoyable for an adult.

A gripping saga, with the odd excessively gory bit

I’ve read all these books now and I always come back to lucky and the rest of the gang.

The action is non stop and told in graphic detail that was made even more real by the narration. This was the first five books in the series and I will definitely listen to more.

overall I'd say that this is a reasonably entertaining adventure but unexceptional in most ways.
One interesting thing that stands out most about the story is the ubiquitous use of drones and A.I. for support. This is used relatively well, but mostly as a dwindling resource.
One bad thing that stands out is that the character writing is poor. Male marines are clumsy, often incompetent, meat heads. All female characters are generically super competent badasses, of which the writer feels the need to invent a new one or two, every book.
The title character's nickname is Lucky which is apt. He gets through the majority of problems either through blind luck, or his internal 'special' A.I. saves him. The A I. has a female super competent persona which spends a lot of it's time mocking Lucky when it isn't saving him. There is also an angry psychotic male persona that takes control of lucky and puts him in a blood rage. This also diminishes the main characters agency.
Despite my complaints the books are entertaining, mostly because the voice acting is excellent.
I'm sure this book has an audience but I don't think I'm it and I won't be continuing with the series.

Some cool concepts, but also dumb.
