Summary
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 spans the Milky Way. Our only worthwhile trade goods are our infamous mercenary legions, elite troops we sell to the highest alien bidder.
In 2122 a lost colony expedition contacts Earth, surprising our government. Colonization is against Galactic Law, and Legion Varus is dispatched to the system to handle the situation. Earth gave them sealed orders, but Earth is thirty-five lightyears away. The Legion commanders have a secret plan of their own. And then there's James McGill, who was never too good at listening to authority in the first place...
In Dust World, book two of the Undying Mercenaries Series, McGill is promoted to Specialist and sent to a frontier planet outside the Empire. Earth's status within the Empire will never be the same.

A brilliant follow on from Steelworld
If you could sum up Dust World in three words, what would they be?
I wouldn't use that few words to sum up a brilliant book. Would be an insult to the author.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Without doubt McGill, although I love Veteran Harris (Mark Boyett's vocalisation of his part is brilliant, really helps you envisage the man) and Centurion Graves.
What about Mark Boyett’s performance did you like?
Oh, all of it, he really gets to the nub of the characters and portrays them brilliantly and unfalteringly, although watch for a mistake in the last few minutes of the book, but that didn't really spoil it at all. Just a bit of an easter egg :)
Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
It made me laugh, the legionnaires are treated ruthlessly, and Primus Turov is just like a middle manager would be, If it works, its my idea, if it fails, you get the blame.
In fact the whole of legion Varus could be holding the mirror up to any large corporation who don't care about their staff, but more about their assets.
Any additional comments?
You can't sum the book up in sentences! Download it, listen to it, (make Steelworld your first) - if you like science fiction, you'll love this series.

60's sci-fi
It's a good book, it depends if you read "60's sci-fi" as a positive or negative thing. I loved it, it's all about the new technology and the next monsters/aliens introduced to the plot. a lot of modern sci-fi seems to be a standard who done it transfed to a space setting, which I find so boring, this is definitely not slow or stunted and like its predecessor "Steel world" is always interesting and entertaining.

great story
this story had lots of gruesome descriptions but I figure that's coz boys are made of Snips and snails, and puppy dogs tails and have a secret fear of the whole childbirth process. I had some laugh out loud moments... on to the next one!

Very enjoyable
Sometimes a second book does not fulfill as expectations are higher, well this one was even better than the first.
Great storyline, good sifi and a nice pace well read .
I totally immersed myself and listened as often as I could .
The cherry on top was the humour lines such as furry cat in the dog kennel excellent

A Solid Sequel That's Highly Entertaining
I enjoyed this a lot more than the first book despite the actual story being one I've heard before in various forms countless times.
McGills thoughts and actions continue to be equally embarrassing, baffling and at one point straight up traitorous. He is however never boring and neither is the book. It expands nicely on the lore and leaves you wanting more. Narration is fantastic.

A 15 Year Old's Approach to Romance
I get it, every female character is a gorgeous set piece to be ogled and fawned over every single time they come in to view. Gets more and more tedious to have it hamfisted in to any and all situations, I'm surprised there isn't a female squid beast for him to leer it and seduce. Keep it in your pants, would you.
