Summary

Galaxy's Edge contains Legionnaire through to the end of Galactic Outlaws.

On the edge of the galaxy, a diplomatic mission to an alien planet takes a turn when the Legionnaires, an elite special fighting force, find themselves ambushed and stranded behind enemy lines. They struggle to survive under siege, waiting on a rescue that might never come.

In the seedy starport of Ackabar, a young girl searches the crime-ridden gutters to avenge her father's murder; not far away, a double-dealing legionniare-turned-smuggler hunts an epic payday; and somewhere along the outer galaxy, a mysterious bounty hunter lies in wait.

Galaxy's Edge combines sleek starfighters, exotic aliens, loyal bots, blasters, scoundrels, heroes, and powerful enemies in a thrilling adventure that will take you back to that magic place from a long time ago.

Difficult


This is a hard one for me to review. At the time I did not realise it was two books, so I was really enjoying the book then it jumped to seven years later and I did not recognise the characters and I just felt lost. I kept waiting to hear from Legionnaire Sergeant Cohen Chhun. Nope, don’t think I did! But I can’t give this book a negative review. I enjoyed it once I did a quick search on the book and found out it was more than one book. There is a series and this is the first two. So the first book is set on one world with one group of legionnaires. It’s very military with science fiction weaved in, (we are on a foreign planned in the future) there are aliens. The second book or 7 years later. We are following a young girl and her war bot/guardian, a legionnaire-turned-smuggler and his crew (starts up and him and a AI but expands)
and a bounty hunter. They are on a collision course with each other. This book we see a lot more of the universe or at lease a few different planets. I feel it’s a little less military but there are some good fights. It’s well narrated of course as it’s R.C. Bray I always enjoy his voice! I enjoyed the story very much, once I understood it was a second book.

Feels like a StarWars Firefly mashup

RC Bray a friend pointed out to me that you could make microwave instructions enigmatic, awesome job as always.

The story is ok, a good pulp fiction story. The occasional interesting twist. Please don't do an Arisen and over play this.

Good story similar to Star Wars.

Very well narrated story which is similar to Star Wars. Enjoyable. I'll look for the next episode.

can't wait!

A proper space opera! Very good aspects of a thriller, military sci-fi and science fiction a-la Lee Child, Michael Stephen Fuchs and Alastair Reynolds respectively. R.C. Bray does a wonderful job too.

Mediocre Star Wars Fanfic

The crowning glory of this experience was the narrator. Seriously, R.C Bray does the best voices.

Most of the characters are very boring and the ones that weren’t didn’t get the attention and progression they deserved until far too late in a 10 hour audio book. I ended the whole thing just feeling dissatisfied, no questions answered, and not knowing enough about a handful of characters I liked. There’s so much potential, and so little accomplished.

The story had an eternal bounty hunter, loosing his sanity and forgetting who he is, yet somehow we focussed mostly on badly written totally-not-Han-Solo who only became interesting in literally his final appearance in the book. Mechanic princess from a planet where everyone is royalty was ignored in favour of bad-Solo again, or boring PTSD child. There was even a cat version of Chewbacca we didn’t need, presumably just to fill in the Chewbacca gap.

The writing was best when there was something actually going on. A lot of the story was spent with a babbling stream of consciousness that meant nothing. Even the good streams didn’t really add anything, they just sounded cool - until the author rewrote a very well known phrase to try and be original and then it stopped being cool.

SciFi enough... But superficial story...

I picked this book as I needed a sci-fi fix. R C bray reads it superbly.

Sadly for me the story just doesn't have enough "depth". The ruling governing republic is so inefficient it couldn't survive for as long as it is supposed to have. Elite troops that are almost wiped out easily by forces supposedly hundred of years behind their tech.

But mostly because the characters just don't really get developed. I didn't get to know any of them, so had no response to any of them dying

And just too many elements "borrowed" from other famous sci-fi greats.

Sadly one I won't continue into the series....

K.T.F. : Kill. Them. First.

Two complete novels from the Edge of the Galaxy, The Legionnaire, and, Galactic Outlaws. Both are complete in themselves, the second set decades after the first, but there are links between them.
From the very first moment of the first book, the reader is thrown into the middle of the action and it just keeps on going to the end. But emerging from the fast, furious and deadly are the personalities of one closely knit unit of leggionaires from Victory company, so alive, so three dimensional, they quickly become people to care about, just as they care for, and protect, each other as they try to defend the interests of the Republic who's bad judgement sent them there in the first place.
Book two has moved forward in time and the new leggionaires are not what they used to be. Instead we follow the activities of bounty hunters, one very old loner with a terrifying reputation, the second a charasmatic space pirate, his hologram navigator and several unsavoury, if amusing friends. And one little girl who wants vengeance on the man who murdered her daddy. More stunning and original action as different strands come together to culminate in a climactic ending. And lots of humour woven into the mahem from these technicolour characters.

The whole double helping of S.F. delight is masterfully performed by R.C.Bray, whose reading (first person in book one, varying in the second) is consistently clear, with perfectly balanced intonation and involvement without ever distracting from the story with over indulgent excitement. Instead, he allows the story to tell itself, the individual characters always clearly distinguishable, one from another, with voices which perfectly matched their personalities. Voice acting at it's best and which makes an already superb story even better.
If you enjoy science fiction, you've got to get this.
Highly recommended.

1st book so much better than the 2nd

the 1st book is a good, if a bit predictable, sci-fi action. Some very stereotypical character architypes, but its enjoyable.
The 2nd book goes off in a mad direction and becomes 75% a star wars rip off. Some interesting elements that should have been looked at more.

Confusing

The first part is fine. After that the plot is confusing, too many characters doing much the same thing.
I won't be buying any more of this writers work.
