Summary

At the close of the 24th century, a series of revolutions has caused the galaxy to descend into chaos. With the Galactic Union’s army stretched thin, mercenary units have arisen for those who have the need - and the means - to hire them.

Captained by former Detached Guerrilla Forces Colonel R. A. "Rags" Cutter, the Cutter Force Initiative is one of the best. A specialized team consisting of both aliens and humans, the Cutters offer services ranging from combat training and protection to extraction and assassination - as long as the target deserves it and their employer makes good on payday.

When they're hired to find and rescue Indira, the soon-to-be-married daughter of Rajah Ramal of New Mumbai, the team's first task is to identify the kidnapper. The obvious suspects are insurgents who want to overthrow the rajahnate, but as other forces enter the game and an assassination attempt is made on Ramal, the Cutters realize that their in-and-out extraction job is about to get a lot more interesting - and a lot more lethal.

Steve Perry is a New York Times best-selling author who has collaborated on novels in Tom Clancy’s Net Force series. A recipient of the Willamette Writers Lifetime Achievement Award, he also won an Emmy for his work on Batman: The Animated Series.

More twists than an Alpine road, the book started off very well, with an excellent storyline.
the team seemed to get too good towards the end and lost some credibility, just wasn't necessary. Will be looking for more from this author. wonderfully read by RC Bray

A bit of a gem here

The story had a slow start, and I did struggle to get into it, but had me gripped towards the end. Hard to say much without any spoilers.
RC Bray's narration just brilliant as always.

Great story, Brilliant performance

Very clever and engaging. Yeah I only got because I'm a R. C. Bray fan, but story is really interesting. Most space opera's thave may Alien species, but really like the Vastalimi, Kay especially. But the but Rags whole team are fun to follow.

, and on book 2 already

a good story with some decent characters, well paced and some not too obvious plot twists.
narration is pretty good although there seems to be a common theme in this production companies narrators to not be able to pronounce Maori as they all say may-ori rather than mau-ri which grate's after a while, a small whinge in a otherwise decent performance

a good story
