Publisher's summary

First contact has been made, and Earth's militaries and its premier mercenary companies stand ready to take their first tentative steps outside the solar system. With a galaxy of aliens to explore and fistfuls of credits to be made, follow along as the Four Horsemen select their contracts and venture forth to meet their destinies. Cartwright's Cavaliers, Asbaran Solutions, Winged Hussars, and The Golden Horde stand ready and willing to take on the adventure, but what will they find in their Alpha Contracts, and how will they overcome it?

Alpha Contracts will take you behind the scenes of Earth's legendary heroes, giving you a merc's eye view of the dangers they faced in completing their first contracts as well as a look at mercenary warfare among the stars from a fifth company, the Avenging Angels, as its members send letters home from the front lines.

Four different roads to the same bar

Excellent writing and story developments for the different groups that survived the first contracts. Extremely interesting on who survived and how they did it. Very creative. Definitely a good listen!

Great Story/ Great Voices

We see then in the beginning !
The narrator does it justice with his accents and voices!
Yet another home run by the Kennedy/Wandery team in the 4 horsemen universe!!!!

3 out 4 are pretty good.

A little excessive with the positive drug messages in the Horde story. It turned me off to them pretty quickly. I otherwise rather enjoyed this collection. Narration was excellent.

This should have been Book 1

I really have enjoyed the Revelations Cycle series books but for the sake of the story line this really should be the first book you listen too. It gives you all the background you need to fully understand what is going on in the first 4 books. Also if you are a fan of author who do voices even slight variations for voices try speeding the narration up to 1.35x and you should be pleased.
