Historia
Chief Roach's victory over the ferocious Quatro won't last long, it seems. Strange meteorites have fallen to the surface of Eresos, containing mechs - quadruped mechs, clearly designed for the enemy. If the quad mechs fall into the enemy's possession before Roach can get them to the space elevator, humanity will lose the advantage granted by their own MIMAS mechs, and they'll be right back to where they were: outmatched and overpowered by the murderous alien beasts.

Keep your money.
Revisado: 09-23-17
What disappointed you about Dynamo?
It's flat, not quite as bad as book one but gave up half way through it.
What was most disappointing about Scott Bartlett’s story?
I love this type of book, but Scott Bartlett is in it strictly for the money. The story and the scenes would just get going when they would stop short of reaching their potential.
Which scene was your favorite?
The book was only 5.5 hours long and I only listened to half of it. It probably came after I quit.
You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
The story could have been awesome by a good author. Book one and two should have been one.

Historia
After the mysterious discovery of an alien mech inside a comet, Darkstream Security has finally completed its own design. They assign Chief Gabriel Roach with the task of whittling down hundreds of bright young recruits to form a team of elite mech pilots, which he will command. Their mission: protect human colonies from the almighty Quatro. A single Quatro can take down an entire squad of traditional soldiers. But Roach is the perfect one for the job.

So much potential, so little delivered.
Revisado: 09-23-17
Would you try another book from Scott Bartlett and/or Mark Boyett?
Not from Scott Bartlett.
Would you ever listen to anything by Scott Bartlett again?
No
Have you listened to any of Mark Boyett’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
No, but he did a good job narrating.
Any additional comments?
Slow story that never produced. The story had such great potential but just dragged on. The few fight scenes were even boring. I love this type of book but this author was just stringing one sentence after another till it was barely long enough to make a book. My lesson learned is not to believe the glowing reviews by all the people who got free books for their review. Gave up on book two and it was so short I felt stupid for giving a whole credit for it.

Historia
They hunt us. They bomb our worlds for target practice. A star cluster in the constellation of Orion rotates once every 1,000 years. Those who rule there have an ancient tradition: When each cycle ends, they train their fleets by spilling the blood of lesser beings. The enemy fleets are coming again. In response, the Rebel Worlds gather their starships to face the terrifying threat, and this time humanity is asked to stand with them. The last time they considered Earth, Vikings in longboats were raiding English coastlines. Today, we're less primitive. Today, we're a target.

Non-stop action, good story.

This book is basically the same as Swarm, Star Force Book 1. Different crew and slightly different story but, basically the same. Well written and performed. I enjoyed this very much and look forward to the next book.

Historia
The universe is a dangerous place for humanity—and it's about to become far more dangerous. Three races that humans have clashed with before have allied to halt our expansion into space. Their linchpin: the turncoat military scientist Charles Boutin, who knows the CDF's biggest military secrets. To prevail, the CDF must find out why Boutin did what he did. Jared Dirac is the only human who can provide answers—a superhuman hybrid, created from Boutin's DNA, Jared's brain should be able to access Boutin's electronic memories.

Misleading Title
Revisado: 03-24-14
Old mans war was great, lots of action, laughs, etc..., and it included a section with the Ghost Brigade where they were an elite fighting force that kicked but! In Ghost Brigade the only thing they did was talk their way thru the whole book with one exception, a short un-impressive small fight.
The story holds your attention. But if your expecting action or anything like Old Man's War to continue where it left off, Save your money! Good for a five dollar sale.

Historia
It was more than an incident: It was a deadly assault across the 38th parallel. It was the Korean War. In the fear and the frenzy of battle, those who had served with heroism before were called again by America to man the trenches and sandbag bunkers. From Pusan to the Yalu, they drove forward with commands too new and tanks too old, brothers in war, bonded together in battle as they had never been in peace....

Get these in order. Awesome story and action. What a series! This series will be a hit with all genres. I highly recomend this series to all. This is the first time I have downloaded an entire series after hearing the first two books. Worth twice the price.

Historia
They were the young ones, the bright ones, the ones with the dreams. From the Nazi-prowled wastes of North Africa to the bloody corridors of Europe, they honorably answered the call. War - it was their duty, their job, their life. They marched off as boys and they came back - those who made it - as soldiers and professionals forged in the heat of battle....

5 Dollars is two high
Revisado: 01-08-13
I should have read the reviews! It gets two stars only because the story line would have made a great book. The problem is, it was one very long lecture. After nearly every statement or question there would be 10 to 20 minutes of lecture of how this atom affects that one or how this muscle works with this blood vessell, etc...
Pass on this one!!!

Revisado: 10-07-12
No more electricity? I can see it. Can we survive if suddenly were are thrown back in time to where we have to plant food by hand and fight off the gangs and thugs with swards and crossbows? I found myself in the struggle with them fighting off evil people and protecting the good ones. I enjoyed this and look forward to the next one.

Book 2. This one continues right from where book 1 left off. Most of the book is space battles and ground combat. Must reed book 1, into the black, before this one and if you liked it you will like this one.
