About this listen

A company of Space Rangers finds itself on the precipice of intergalactic war in a military SF novel perfect for fans of Starship Troopers and the Lost Fleet series.

Ben Dailey's Viper Company has one motto: Play hard and fight even harder. The crew is comprised of some of the most elite fighters in the Fleet, though occasionally overconfident and, some might say, obnoxious. So when Dailey is handed down a mysterious, high-security mission that's ostensibly a search-and-rescue for his once-upon-a-time academy rival turned brother in arms, he's convinced there's more to the job than meets the eye.

Soon, the USF Murphy is on its way to the edge of the Void—a mostly unexplored section of space on the outer reaches of the galaxy—to track down what happened to Capt. Rick Bearing and the Asher-5. But as Dailey and his crew discover more and more about the ruined ship they've been sent to investigate, they begin to realize there's something bad happening in the dark reaches of the system. Something alien. Something with potentially catastrophic implications for not just them but all of humanity . . .

Filled with heart-pounding battles, fast-paced wit, and unforgettable characters, and penned by an ex–armed forces leader, Asher's Fall is the explosive launch of a one-of-a-kind, high-octane military science-fiction series.

Space! Action! Humor! and awesome narrator!

First book in series and I already cant wait wait for the next, the 12 hours went by waay faster than i thought possible

Worldbuilding has a great pace giving you story and information as you go without feeling like huge future info dump.
Great interactions and varied characters, you'll end up laughing at inside jokes with the people telling them,.
It's hard to pick a favorite character (At least for me), I just couldn't stop listening!

if you enjoy sci-fi, space action & humor you'll definitely enjoy this book!

Luke Daniels does great work bringing the words to life.

Good story & characters- potential to be a better series

Good first book to the series, but it could be better. The characters are good, but I kept hoping for a little more - and definitely more character development. I did really enjoy the AI’s media puns and references, and the dog is fun, but not great, (see Duke, in Craig Alanson’s ‘Convergence’ series).

But as I said, it’s a good start to a series that can become great. So, I’m moving on to book 2 with high hopes.

Great story, mediocre performance

The story elements (like most sci-fi) are familiar. What is important is how it is put together. This is a great story. Good characters, and mostly accurate military aire!
The reader is "meh" at best. I finished the book, but I don't think I'll be purchasing subsequent books if the same reader is selected. This story seems to have overwhelmed this gentleman's talents.

Fans of Expeditionary Force will love this!

Just listen to the book! It’s well worth it, you won’t regret it.

Especially if you’re a fan of Skippy or Brody from Wayward Galaxy. I don’t want to spoil it, but there are two really cool/unique characters.

Great story and narrator

I enjoyed how the author brought in what happened in the past throughout the story and overall world building. Top notch work from Luke Daniels as usual. Definitely getting the next book

not bad but missing some originality

All right, the best and breed is the talking beer can. The sentient rifle that's not bad either. so now we have another story with a lost AI who helps out all of his pals. it's only good but not amazing like Skippy. Even the sentient dog isn't original

great read, spaceships, and

loved this book! great story and characters really sets this book up to be my favorite book from Justin Leslie, if a bit heavy on the 90s and 80s references still an awesome book and another epic performance by the great Luke Daniels, will not disappoint!
