About this listen

When a towering alien monolith crashes onto James McGill's family farm, it triggers events that could spark a galaxy-wide war.

Things have gone bad among the colonies. Insurgents are building alien-hybrid armies and planet-killing weapons, threatening to upend the fragile balance of power in Province 921.

There's not only trouble in the province—the Core Worlds are igniting as well. The Mogwa have asserted claims upon the Imperial Throne, causing their rivals to move against them. Earth's Hegemony and the rebels are pulled into a conflict that could tear the galaxy apart.

Civil War looms, and McGill has only one chance to get ahead of it. Can he bluff, fight, and lie his way through a maze of shifting loyalties and dangerous enemies?

Find out in Rebel World, the latest entry in B. V. Larson's USA Today bestselling Undying Mercenaries series—modern military sci-fi at its finest.

These books are enjoyable, in an uncomplicated fashion. The good old boy narration, fleshes out McGills character nicely. The only down side to the narration is an attempt at a Mancunian accent, as someone from the UK, it is akin to Dick van Dykes cockney accent. ie it is not even close to being correct.

great southerner lousy northerner

what's more, the story arc has an almost limitless canvas to be painted.

my wife listened to some of the story and even she was chuckling away with it.

the story is fantastic and the narrator is a perfect match. do not change this combo!

Throne World, the previous book in this series, was the one that brought me back. Prior to that, I had decided to call it a day on this series, feeling it had nothing more to offer and was simply rearranging common plot elements to produce formulaic stories that followed the same pattern.

Similarly, Rebel World hinted at something fundamentally different for McGill. Though I did enjoy Rebel World, the aforementioned hint of insurrection never materialised. Still, there was enough variation here on a theme to keep me interested and entertained, so I'll stick with it for a while.

These stories are simple, no fuss, little intrigue but are refreshing in their lac of political correctness. McGill harks back to an era of men who loved women, lots of them, while also being a hapless hero.

It would be nice to see more development of Mc Gill’s character, perhaps even a promotion for him. Oddly, and touch don before by me in a review of a much earlier book in the series, there appears to be no air support. Grunts are dropped right into hostile zones without close air support. In fact, much of the initial fighting could be reduced by air strikes to soften up enemy infantry. Also seems odd to me that Earth's legions aren't making use of alien soldiers who may be better suited to dealing with hugely powerful enemy troops. Blood worlders would be an obvious candidate to tackle the hybrid soldiers and yet no use was made of them. Cephalopods, too, seem to have all but been forgotten by Larson.

Regardless, these stories remain light yet entertaining reading, providing much needed escape from an ever increasingly over reaching government in our daily lives.

Sticking With It ... For Now
