Summary

Captain Mitchell "Ares" Williams is a Space Marine and the hero of the Battle for Liberty, whose Shot Heard 'Round the Universe saved the planet from a nearly unstoppable war machine. He's handsome, charismatic, and the perfect poster boy to help the military drive enlistment. Pulled from the war and thrown into the spotlight, he's as efficient at charming the media and bedding beautiful celebrities as he was at shooting down enemy starfighters.

After an assassination attempt leaves Mitchell critically wounded, he begins to suffer from strange hallucinations that carry a chilling and oddly familiar warning:

They are coming. Find the Goliath or humankind will be destroyed.

Convinced that the visions are a side-effect of his injuries, he tries to ignore them, only to learn that he may not be as crazy as he thinks. The enemy is real and closer than he imagined, and they'll do whatever it takes to prevent him from rediscovering the centuries lost starship.

Narrowly escaping capture, out of time and out of air, Mitchell lands at the mercy of the Riggers - a ragtag crew of former commandos who patrol the lawless outer reaches of the galaxy. Guided by a captain with a reputation for cold-blooded murder, they're dangerous, immoral, and possibly insane.

They may also be humanity's last hope for survival in a war that has raged beyond eternity.

Fun and weird

This is a fun story. It has a lot of familiar tropes, but also new stuff I haven't seen before. The mix is good.

The focus on sex characteristics for each female character is a bit tiresome though. Especially when the book describes a woman's boobs and then immediately how "in the military that doesn't matter, we're all soldiers". So why do we know so much about her boobs, dude?

The main character is a sex crazed nympho apparently obsessed with the categories of boobs, but besides all that it's a very entertaining story. I'll check out at least one sequel.

Good story but so much clichés

Story is OK, performance very good. you can't escape of classic clichés in this book. Main character thinks more with his d$ck than head, and obviously he is desired by most of female characters.

Great book, average narrator

I found this book to very gripping, I would definitely recommend it. There was only one aspect I didn't like and it was a shame in my opinion, that the narrator wasn't as good as others I've heard. He wasn't able to consistently adapt voices to the characters. On the odd occasion I found the voice was the same as a previous character which was confusing.
