Barcus is a working stiff looking for a good paycheck. When the Ventura and its crew enter orbit for a scheduled planet survey, the ship activates an automated defense system protecting the planet. Although the Ventura is destroyed in the attack, Barcus alone survives the harrowing fall to the remote planet surface. He struggles to remain alive and sane and to discover why everyone he knew and loved on the Ventura was deliberately murdered.

Starts out well, loses direction.

The books are entertaining as a survival / science fiction story, but it doesn't do well when it tries to transition to a space opera / epic. Book 1 stays on focus and tells a coherent story. Book 2 stays within the same scenario, but is told from a different perspective. Book 3 goes off the rails when the story moves off-planet.
The plot progession is constantly being second-guessed by main characters that can see the future and it seperates you from the story. You listen to what is happening, while being distracted wondering why this occurs when they can see the future. I really feel that it would have been a much better story if the characters didn't have that ability. I didn't finish it when I quit caring because it became so muddled.
SPOILERS
The dialog also sounded forced and out of place. For example, that far in the future on other planets with hyperdrive technology, do people still call each other 'ass-wipe' as a term of friendship?
There were also some gratiutous sex and rape/sadism that didn't add to the story. I didn't need to hear it to realize the bad guys were really bad.

United Nations Special Operations Command sent an elite expeditionary force of soldiers and pilots out on a simple recon mission, and somehow along the way they sparked an alien civil war. Now the not-at-all-merry band of pirates is in desperate trouble, again. Their stolen alien starship is falling apart, thousands of light years from home. The ancient alien AI they nicknamed Skippy is apparently dead, and even if they can by some miracle revive him, he might never be the same.

Some twists, but mostly more of the same.

The storyline and individual scenarios were unpredictable, but the personal interactions and solutions we have seen before. I enjoy the series, but the repetition has me about ready to hang it up.
