Seventy years ago, the interstellar supercarrier Ark Royal was the pride of the Royal Navy. But now, her weapons are outdated and her solid-state armour nothing more than a burden on her colossal hull. She floats in permanent orbit near Earth, a dumping ground for the officers and crew the Royal Navy wishes to keep out of the public eye. But when a deadly alien threat appears, the modern starships built by humanity are no match for the powerful alien weapons.

In the twentieth century Earth sent probes, transmissions and welcoming messages to the stars. Unfortunately, someone noticed. The Galactics arrived with their battle fleet in 2052. Rather than being exterminated under a barrage of hell-burners, Earth joined their vast Empire. Swearing allegiance to our distant alien overlords wasn't the only requirement for survival. We also had to have something of value to trade, something that neighboring planets would pay their hard-earned credits to buy.

The year is 2108, and the North American Commonwealth is bursting at the seams. For welfare rats like Andrew Grayson, there are only two ways out of the crime-ridden and filthy welfare tenements, where you’re restricted to 2,000 calories of badly flavored soy every day. You can hope to win the lottery and draw a ticket on a colony ship settling off-world, or you can join the service. With the colony lottery a pipe dream, Andrew chooses to enlist in the armed forces for a shot at real food, a retirement bonus, and maybe a ticket off Earth.

The members of the Polaris Project knew what they were giving up when they volunteered to fly to the star named Angel-21, but the allure of being the first explorers to leave the Solar System far outweighed the risks. As it turned out, the most dangerous thing they faced wasn't the mission, it was the homecoming. Eight hundred years have passed, and Earth is nothing like they thought it would be.

Summary
You should never speak truth to power…
The Galactic Empire is dying and chaos and anarchy are breaking out everywhere. After a disastrous mission against terrorists on Earth itself, Captain Edward Stalker of the Terran Marine Corps makes the mistake of speaking truth to power, telling one of the most powerful men in the Empire a few home truths. As a result, Captain Stalker and his men are unceremoniously exiled to Avalon, a world right on the Rim of the Empire. It should have been an easy posting...
Well, apart from the bandits infesting the countryside, an insurgency that threatens to topple the Empire's loose control over Avalon, and a corrupt civil government more interested in what it can extort from the population than fighting a war. The Marines rapidly find themselves caught up in a whirlwind of political and economic chaos, fighting to preserve Avalon before the competing factions tear the world apart. They're Marines; if anyone can do it, they can.
The battle to save the Empire starts here.

Predictable but still enjoyable book. Well read.
I'll admit it, I liked the Ark Royal series. I liked the way it was read, I liked the way it took the view the US weren't the only major powers in space, and I liked the way it ran.
Now we have a new series by Christopher G Nuttell. At first it seems to be in the same universe, just further along in time, but soon you realise that is not the case. He's essentially borrowed the universe from the other series but with a few changes.
The plot is basic, it's obvious, but it works well. It is paced well and while you can guess what's going to happen, that does not reflect badly on it. The characters work, not totally believable, but not over the top either, it's more pulp sci fi.
The only thing to be aware of is that Nuttell does not understand army ranks, as he continues his mistake from the Ark Royal series by having a corporal as senior to a sergeant. AT first this can confuse the listener, but you get used to it.

Great Sci-fi
Would you consider the audio edition of The Empire's Corps to be better than the print version?
Narration was excellent. Gave a different dimension to the story
Would you recommend The Empire's Corps to your friends? Why or why not?
Yes, its not literature but an intriguing story set in a future that appears all too true. Very gung ho.
Have you listened to any of Jeffrey Kafer’s other performances? How does this one compare?
no
Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
It encouraged me to return to sci-fi as a great storytelling genre.
Any additional comments?
This is great book in the genre of rip roaring adventure with bad guys, good guys and some misunderstood guys. The good guys are tough but fair. The bad guys are despicable and deserve their fate. The misunderstoods will see the light in the end.

Fun military sci-fi - crappy social commentary.
This is quite a fun read, with some cool action scenes and an engaging plot that moves the story along at a nice clip. I came for the guns and explosions, enjoyed the military tactics and strategy stuff, but suffered through the ridiculous right wing, niave political science jaunts. If you enjoyed the book version of 'Starship Troopers', then this is for you - albeit with less aliens and more political skull-dugery - but if you preferred the film version's satire, you're going to find the proffesor character's blatent fascist leanings troublesome, the obviously rigged social annologies lame, and the obvious USMC hero-worship tiresome. On the plus side - excellent action scenes, passible characters, tidy conclusion, awesome explosions.

Nuttall gets better and better
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I found the Empire's Corps very engaging. Nuttall's first series, Ark Royal, was above average but showed Nuttall's status as a freshman author. It was good, but a bit strained at times. I bought all 3 books with no regrets, but with no illusions that the books would be perfect. The Emprie's Corps exceeded my expectations, and showed the maturation of a true professional author.
What did you like best about this story?
The characters are engaging and believable, and the story is quite good. No sophomore slump here.
Which character – as performed by Jeffrey Kafer – was your favorite?
I enjoyed the protagonist, the Captain.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Alone. Forgotten. Heroes when nobody was looking.

If you like military SiFy and other series like the Mike Shepard's -- Kris Longknife and Jack Campell's -- Lost Fleet series's you will like this one. So far the Author has written nine books in the series and Audible has only three of them...
I will quickly pick up all that are added in the future...

Decent story, dubious politics
Solidly plotted, reasonably interesting characters, and a satisfying ending--a mostly enjoyable read, as long as it stays away from the political philosophy, which I found rather simplistic. I don't expect military sci fi to be filled with peace, love and understanding, but this one was a little too Tea-Partyish for my taste when it came to explaining the impending collapse of the Empire. Basically the welfare state taken to an absurd degree, not enough guns, and parents neglecting the corporal punishment (as a matter of believable human behavior the spanking scene strained my credulity near the breaking point). But the story does keep moving along well enough to remain enjoyable despite those passing annoyances--reminded me a little of Heinlein in that respect.

Captivating
This is book one in a new series. Nuttall is a fairly new author; I read his first books, the Ark Royal trilogy. I see he has now started a series. I enjoyed his trilogy so decided to give the series a try. The Galactic Empire is dying and chaos and anarchy are breaking out everywhere. Our protagonist Captain Edward Stalker spoke the truth to those in power. As a result he and his men are exiled to Avalon, a world right on the rim of the Empire. Avalon is about to collapse from a corrupt government and insurgents, bandits roam freely in the county side. Stalker and his Marines are soon caught up in a whirlwind of events.
The Empire starts off with a good description of the enormity of the Empire including intricacies of the political scene which seems enormous. Nuttall creates not only an interesting world but an entire universe full of planet inhabited by humans. With hundreds of planetary cultures I can only imagine where the series will go. The book is fast paced, lots of action, suspense and military dialog. There is more character building because it is the first book of a new series. The book is about Marines so there is less Naval space action in this story.
I understand that Nuttall was born and raised in Edinburgh, Scotland but he is currently living in Borneo with his wife Aisha. This is the first time I have encountered a book narrated by Jeffrey Kafer. He did a good job narrating the book. I will look forward to listening to him narrate other books. If you enjoy military Sci-Fi you will enjoy this book.

Meh
The story seems to have a strong plot, but the details were boring.
The overall sense I get from the reading is dull, cloudy and grey- sprinkled with crass misogynistic comments from our Heroes, casual and rampant raping by the bad guys, and even an unpleasant gnashing local animal.
The professor, whose analysis of the decline of Empires is the most interesting aspect, but it is dribbled out like a footnote

Fall of the Terran Empire
What a great listen. I enjoyed this story so much I had to listen without stopping. Reminds me of Heinlein,Piper and Chris Bunch mixed together with a dash of David Sherman &Dan Cragg . Military sci-fi at it's best. Already preordered the next two books. If you enjoy this genre then treat yourself to a great listen.

A great military themed sci-fi
Some of the best narration I've heard. The storyline follows a marine company and it's commander to a World other than earth where they combat multiple insurgent groups and deal with political challenges they weren't designed to take on.

Poorly written and read
Only made it a third of the way in, this is not a good book. Thankfully I only wasted a credit on it.
The author could do with an stricter editor and a few classes on character development.
The narrator could do with a voice capable of more than a monotone drone and a few classes on pronunciation of common words of the English language.
Give this one a pass.
