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.

worth your time
the constant internal monolog of the many characters gets fairly annoying, enjoyed the book over all

Overall an interesting story
There has been a few minor situations where I wondered why a character didn’t behaved differently, but overall a great story that fits perfectly into the other parts of this universe.

Great series - good value
Personal taste can be fickle but I’m surprised by the negative reviews on here. I think the plot and characters are well drawn and I love the mini-series approach that bundles novels together. The universe Bartlett has created is well realised. I have enjoyed quite a few books now and I’d happily recommend these to anyone.

Meh!
If you love epic sci-fi space opera, then please avoid this book. Purchased the full editors pack and gave up 15 chapters in! The characters are weak and mostly annoying. They make huge and sometimes random leaps / conclusions just to further the plot, which itself is just boring and 1 dimensional. And don’t get me started on the internal monologues, which will certainly get on your nerves after about 5 mins. Mark Boyett does his best with the material he has, but just can’t bring the characters to life.
