half a book should cost half as much

Revisado: 12-30-22

This is half of a book. At 2 hours long (the last 2 hours of fluff don't count, nobody likes paying for a podcast).
The book was great... the nickle-and-diming to get me to pay for it twice, not so much. I'll be asking for a refund on this one and paying for the final book as promised.

I'm not crying, you're crying!

Dang, what an excellent story, adding another element (that we all kinda suspected) to an already loveable character. Well done.

Best Sci Fi I've heard in a while.

Revisado: 05-24-21

Amazing story; expertly researched and written, performed with passion and good dose of humor. Entertaining and compelling from start to finish, it prompted a few extra trips around the block when I wasn't ready to hit pause.

Borrows the best aspects of everyone else

Revisado: 11-06-20

The space opera category is pretty saturated right now (Poor RC Bray must hardly see his family these days!), but here's a series that distills all the best aspects of the other sci fi series' into one engaging story line.
The quirky AI interactions of the Expeditionary Force series without the warmed-over plot.
The harrowing battle scenes (and quirky Star Wars tropes) of Galaxy's Edge with the 'ooh-rah' turned down to a reasonable level.
The vast scale of the Star Wars universe without the limitations set by other canonical works.

These books are familiar in a comforting way: fun, light, captivating escapism at it's best.

One of the best in the series; Glad to see that Alanson has his mojo back!

How's the spin class going, Craig?

Revisado: 11-14-19

Bad news first: It does seem like the well of inspiration is running a little dry here. Clumsily and unapologetically rehashing the exact same plot of the last book (actual book, not the Homefront tragedy), Alanson pads the production by going into great detail about... nothing. It's easy to imagine him wandering around his house, desperate for inspiration, and latching onto the most mundane things in an effort to find something to write about. Spin class? Sure! The proper way to sign up for university courses? Why not! Recipes for hamburger patties? Fuck it, let's toss that in too! Sprinkle in some off-topic ramblings clearing up plot or logic holes from previous books, and voila, hours of background entertainment.
Good news: Perhaps the ending switches things up enough to inject some fire into the next 16 Exforce books?

Yikes

Revisado: 07-12-19

Really proud that I powered through and finished this one. The cringe-worthy writing and production made me give up a couple of times, but in the end, I'm glad I finished it.
ExForce neophytes should probably skip(py) this lemon in an otherwise enjoyable (if a bit repetitive) series. I look forward to the story returning to its regular format and forgoing all the "special" effects and voice "talent". (Sorry voice actors, I know this wasn't your fault!)

The Vinyl Cafe... in Space

Revisado: 08-03-18

'Dave and Morley join the space force.' (Just try to un-hear Stuart McLean now). Decent story, written in Scalzi's typically flippant style, but without his usual attention to detail. Characters have some depth, though they don't stray far from stereotypes.
Has a happy ending though, so there's that!
