About this listen

What could test a marine more than all-out war? The Scourge.

A simple distress beacon....

A mining colony in the outer reaches....

Supposedly another routine deployment for Mike Barton of the Combined States Marine Corps, but what they find on the surface is unlike anything anyone had ever encountered.

Horribly wounded in a battle with an unknown quantity, Barton only survives through a chance encounter with two special operators. As if the skirmish wasn’t enough, what comes next will be beyond his imagination.

Thrown into a joint task force with troops from the New Russian Confederacy, Barton must return to the colony, face what had be-fallen him there, and investigate what killed everyone.

The investigation will have to wait because the Scourge won’t. The fight for his life continues and his chances are slim.

I have no idea how Devon C Ford does it but just keeps on writing simply BRILLIANT books. This just gets you from the beginning and takes on a wonderful journey rhat leaves you wanting more. Books 2 and 3 already pre ordered. Its that good. James Patrick Cronin once again does he does best, just nails it.

Devon C Ford is a Genius

Im waiting for the time that I read the first book of one of Mr Fords series and think no thats not for me - not this time I absolutely loved it - another universe of adventure with characters you come to like and understand- cant wait for the next one❤️❤️

I fell for it again 😀

loved this story, the characters are funny, the military(ish) humour is spot on.

what I really liked though were the little head nods to real world special operations endeavours.

a great touch. roll on book 2

One of the best
