I have been counting the days till this edition was available and I am thoroughly impressed.....AGAIN!! INSTALLMENT 16 IS FANTASTIC!!!
There are so many plot twists and turns that a FORMULA ONE driver would have white knuckles on the wheel.
BV Larsen brings back many of ol' McGuill's nemisses and Vera's legion in such a way that if you have not been an undying soldier, you will still be able to enjoy. As far as I'm concerned, BV Larsen is a true syifi MASTER. And Mark Boyett brings these characters and their predicaments to absolute REAL LIFE. I FEEL LIKE I WAS WATCHING A MOVIE and not listening to a book!!
LARSEN AND BOYETT CREATE ANOTHER MASTERFUL INSTALLMENT OF THE UNDYING SOLDIERS....( please 🙏... do a 17th
😎👍)

I was a tank mechanic in the 90s around the time this book came out. I was a 63-E20 Abraham's hull and turret. I can tell you now( because it's long since declassified) it took 4 men, a 1500 hp gas turbine and 72 tons of depleted uranium deflective/reactive armor to accomplish what 1 person does in this story.
There are so many twists and turns it will give a FORMULA ONE driver a hard time, ear to ear grin, and a death grip on the steering wheel while yelling faster!!FASTER!!
Too bad John Steakley didn't write anymore. BV Larsen to Tom Clancy would be in serious jeopardy jealousy....
my top 3 Sci fy books of all time are Greg Bears EON , Anything from BV Larsen, AND THIS.
I guarantee you will like it! And if not, I'll refund you the price of this review...🙃

Supercarrier Box Set: The Complete Ixan Prophecies Trilogy Audiobook By Scott Bartlett cover art

This is not one of Scott Bartlett's best but Mark Boyett's SOLID Narration pulls everything across the finish line in a respectable position. The story has its up and downs but everything that happens at least 500 years in the future gets at least 3 stars from me, so you can say I'm biased.
Eventually quantity will overlap quality and at chapter 147, Scott Bartlett hits PROPHESY level writing, almost Orwellian..nostradamos level. This series was written several years ago (that's why it's free for book club members), but I'll be dipped in dog doo if what happens in chapter 147 is not true today. You have to listen up to and including 147 before I'll put on my bathing suit and take that dip.
SOLID 4.5

Struggled to finish it. If it weren't for the fact that I'm partial to stephan R's voice and narration, I probably would have stopped after about 1/4 of the book.
the characters seemed shallow and stereotypical and the storyline was weak. It just didn't deliver, thre was so much potential. The super massive black holes in the center of the universe are real, and gravitational waves DO travel at the speed of light, but would it drop off or super pulse?!! are the people in the other worlds friendly or bugs? or a thousand other possibilities.
this book never leaves earth in more ways than one.

It was a little hard to get into this story, because at the beginning, the characters were stereotypical marine overdriven ego. Surprisingly, about 1/4 into book one, the characters land the banter start to fill out and become real people. On top of that, the narrator's voice control, pitch, cadence are remarkable and clearly delineate the characters as PEOPLE TALKING, in all different conditions, from barroom brawling to high action combat, to mournful funerals for thier lost. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Give it a chance.

LOVED IT.
I have binge listed to all the "UNDYING SOLDIERS" and doing the same again with "STAR FORCE".
I am literally entranced....I hear every shot, see every planet....and sometimes, because I am a retired veteran, I can smell the blood and burning bodies. I've never smelled aliens burning or blood, but I would re-enlist with STAR FORCE.
(I'd have to get the nano treatment because I'm 55....but hey. ......it's all fiction......for now.)
I need AA BADLY!! (AUDIOBOOKS ANONYMOUS)...IM ADDICTED!!....
