Story
We had 20 short years of peace. Twenty years to put worlds back together. Twenty years for Captain Vin Husher to convince us the aliens would return. We didn’t listen. Warmonger, we called him. Washed up, we called him. But now, the enemy has returned, with high-tech weaponry well beyond anything of which humanity has dreamed. If Husher and his ragtag crew can’t manage to stop them, they will smash us.

Raised fatherless in a galactic Brinktown, Joe Pikeman only ever wanted to escape. The Galactic Guard offered that escape, with the promise of regular meals to boot. Now Joe is a full Guardsman, with his own ship and a snide partner bot who hates humans almost as much as he hates other bots. To the pirates he hunts, Joe is known as the Butcher. His bloody reputation has landed him in the center of a sweeping conspiracy that threatens to stamp out the galaxy’s last surviving human settlements.

Captain Keyes is loved by the public but hated by Command. He captains the UHS Providence, an aging supercarrier and the last human ship not dependent on dark tech - technology humanity has used to rule over the galaxy since barely defeating the Ixa in the First Galactic War. Dominance has come at a cost. Over the decades, old allies have grown resentful, and when dark tech itself fails, Captain Keyes’ predictions start coming true: those old allies are now enemies.

Story
In the twentieth century Earth sent probes, transmissions and welcoming messages to the stars. Unfortunately, someone noticed. The Galactics arrived with their battle fleet in 2052. Rather than being exterminated under a barrage of hell-burners, Earth joined their vast Empire. Swearing allegiance to our distant alien overlords wasn't the only requirement for survival. We also had to have something of value to trade, something that neighboring planets would pay their hard-earned credits to buy.

Over the horizon came ships of a technologically advanced, aggressive culture, and BAM! There went the good old days, when humans got killed only by each other. So, Columbus Day. It fits. When the morning sky twinkled again, this time with Kristang starships jumping in to hammer the Ruhar, we thought we were saved.

Summary
Humanity is tired of losing. Enter the mech.
Jake Price has always dreamed of joining the Darkstream military like his father before him. When he’s told his gaming scores are good enough to qualify him for a brand-new training program designed to find recruits talented enough to pilot humanity’s first mechs, he can hardly believe it.
He’s right to be doubtful. There are hundreds of other recruits competing for the same eight jobs, and they’re all as skilled as he is. Worse, the training instructor is an unhinged chief with a particular dislike for Jake.
But Jake refuses to give up, refuses to wash out, because humanity is facing its greatest threat yet. If someone doesn’t step up, it could all be over for the human species.

repetitive action
repetitive story with a lack of emotional link to contents or characters. found that it easily altered the characters personality to push story line ideas that in the big picture didn't change much other than allowing for the repetitive battles to follow the same stages of story as the previous battle, normally in the same location.
I listened to the end as I felt the story did have potential to go somewhere interesting, but in the end I was left disappointed with nothing feeling like it was resolved or that the characters had grown or developed in a way that made me care about their journey. The performance was good & well read but the story failed to draw me in.

Mostly flash but still fun
I’m a big fan of mech shows and I’ve been wanting an author to tackle mechs in more sci books. I feel like it’s a genre that deserves to be explored more. That being said this is a nice step but in the end not what o wanted.
The science just didn’t feel believable and would take my out of my immersion. That being said I had plenty of fun and for one credit it was a decent investment

Save yourself the time.
The story is sub par. It's break points are jarring. It's written as four books but each book ends at a fairly abitrary point. The structure of book seems like the author wrote one book and split it up. The conclusion is really weak and rushed with the last 30 minutes being packed with would be cliff hangers that just fall short. The characters are really one dimensional. You will pick up who the fodder characters are in minutes because they have virtually no characterization. Overall I would avoid this book. Narrator does a good job bringing some joy to a pretty bad book.

Typical Mech Battle Story
Nothing new here ... pretty good classic Mech lingo and tech. As a 4 book package a enjoyable read ... but 4 credits for 4 books would not be just. Characters never really gelled.

For fans of halo and mass effect
I received this book as a promo
Going through my Audible account I realized that I had not reviewed this promo copy, so here it is several months later and off the top of my head
I have read this author in the past. several books from each of his other trilogies and really love those series. This is probably my least favourite of all his series. There’s nothing wrong with it, per se, I just prefer the space exploration side of his writing. With this book you get four novels which I felt actually made the story too long. You don’t have to read them all in one sitting but the first couple of novels end very abruptly it’s almost as if it’s the end of a chapter and not the end of a book.
All the stories are very fast pace read with interesting characters and tons of action. I have always found Scott universe to be well thought out and enjoyable. All of his book exist in the same universe and often crisscross characters from different series . If you are someone who loves reading the halo novels his books are definitely up your alley, although I am would recommend reading his other series (super carriers) first to get a better idea of the world these characters inhabit
The narration is excellent with each character getting their own unique voice and personality.
Getting four novels for one credit you can’t really go wrong
I would say this book is worth one of your hard-earned credits

I unfortunately did not enjoy this story at all
I wanted to like it; just could not get past the extremely bad characters, poorly created names, lack if any viable tactical decisions, and some really bad science. I slogged through this series as I had purchased the complete set hoping it would get better, but did not. So far, out of the hundreds of scifi books I have been through, this series is a leader as the worst.
