Awesome!

I like the author, starting to be one of my favorites and this book makes it even easier to say that he is indeed one of the best.
Initially i was out off by the length but it was a real supervise to find that size is not that important. (heh)
I have listened to books twice the length that did not feel that complete and did not capture my attention as much.
This is a complete story, nothing missing and i do not feel like there is anything to add.
I would love to see more in this universe.

On the story itself, i loved the difference between the 2 continents,
It reminded me of the older Sci-Fi movies but brought up to current days.

A great book and definitely recommend.

Excellent futuristic war story.

Great if you're a fan of military sci-fi, suspence and plot twists. Really well done.

Poor narration.

I think I would have really liked the story if the narration hadn’t spoiled it.

Great Sci Fi Short Story

I enjoyed this one. It was well thought out and has depth, complexity and plausible plot. The story is expressed in a colloquial way which might make it seem less than it is at first glance / if listening to a sample; this is much the same as with Dogs of War. In both stories that colloquial style helps convey the character of the narrator / pratagonist / hero as well as grounding the sci-fi. If you like sci-fi or just fancy giving it a try this is worth a go.

Enjoyable, but nothing too surprising

An interesting world with great characters, brought to life by a very strong performance. The story is a little uninspired, but it's fun in an 80s action movie way.

Get your kind in the right place for it

This is quite short so as others have suggested maybe best as part of a 2for1 deal. It's also quite silly and you'll not get a unique or very original tale but it is fun.

The other comments that this is reminiscent of 80s action films are on the mark. This is over the top, over blown and over earnest. The commentary preformance is the same and it fits the story well but you need to accept this as the pulp schlock story that it is

I want more

My only complaint is this book is not long enough. I would love a full novel of these guys. .

Tough, brutal and quite a lot of fun.

Great but too short

Overall its an excellent, audio book. Shame the story was not longer, and has the feeling of being an early draft of a larger story. There is not a lot in introduction to the world either and its not really till the end that you actually start to get an idea of the look and feel of the tech and environment. Performance is good, even if the accents are a little too "What Hollywood thinks X accents should/would sound like."

A fantastic short story

I very much enjoyed this sci-fi short story. The pace is fast & the sorry-telling is excellent. I’ve enjoyed a number of audiobooks, by Adrian Tchaikovsky & I will be listening to more.

Good

Pretty good even if there's not much meat on the bones. Straight forward but enjoyable. Not sure why some people don't like the narrator - he's fully committing to the war movie vet trope that fits with the cheesy dialogue.
