About this listen

The Galactics arrived with their battle fleet in 2052. Rather than being exterminated under a barrage of hell burners, Earth joined a vast empire that spanned the Milky Way. Our only worthwhile trade goods are our infamous mercenary legions, elite troops we sell to the highest alien bidder.

In the fourth book of the series, James McGill is up for promotion. Not everyone is happy about that, and McGill must prove he's worth his stripes. Deployed to a strange, alien planet outside the boundaries of the Galactic Empire, he's caught up in warfare and political intrigue. Earth expands, the Cephalopod Kingdom launches ships to stop us, and a grand conspiracy emerges among the upper ranks of the Hegemony military.

In Machine World McGill faces an entirely new kind of alien life, Galactic prosecution, and thousands of relentless squid troopers. He lives and dies in the falling ashes of the empire, a man of unique honor at the dawn of humanity's resurgence.

Machine World is a military science fiction novel by best-selling author B. V. Larson. (To find the first book in the series, search for Steel World by B. V. Larson.)

In chapter 22 the narrator changes voice. It's subtle but removes you from the story.

Fantastic 4th book the undying story could almost be set in Ancient Rome with its scheming, wheeling and dealing.
The action was all there and the imagination was enthralling
Can't wait for the next book Keep it up I'm hooked. 👍😎🍺

4th Hit

This is one of the better books in the undying mercenaries series and BV Larson continues to do marvellous storylines. There is typically plenty of action and plenty of dying and coming back to life as usual in the series as well as James McGill getting into plenty of trouble, however towards the end of this book it does push credibility A bit far regarding how much trouble James McGill can actually get into. Other than that as I said before this book is brilliant and well worth a read. Mark boyyet reads this book fantastically with a large range of voices for the characters as well as being able to suit the emotion for that scene and specific character within the book. All in I can guarantee you won't be using audibles returns policy and that goes doubly for any already existing fans of the undying mercenaries series.

Brilliant continuation of the series
