About this listen

Legion Dark Ops has always been a unit shrouded in secrecy. Tasked with performing covert missions, its kill teams are filled with the best warriors from within the ranks of the Legion.

Kel Turner is one of the youngest legionnaires ever to be selected to its ranks. After many battles and trials, he is faced with the greatest challenge of his life - operating by himself on a remote planet at the galaxy's edge, a foot soldier for the policies of the duplicitous House of Reason, tasked with solving a crisis that would take ten kill teams to resolve.

Diplomats, spies, shadowy terrorist groups, and an enigmatic general work with and against Kel as he fights to save a society from itself. What can one operator do alone, separated from his kill team, fighting a war that has no name?

This lone operator doesn't know what it will take to win. He only knows he's not going to lose.

Great book by veterans

Awesome book with enough detail to see through the window into military life through the science fiction genre. I’ve enjoyed all the of the galaxy’s edge series and branch series, every book has been well thought out and somewhat realistic. It’s good to see veterans producing an amazing series while not romanticizing the realties of operations too much. I recommend this series to anyone who likes military fiction veteran or not.

Not RC Bray

The story is good and the performance is as well. The narrator’s cadence is sometimes off putting if you’re used the the magnificence of RC Bray.

Retrospective review! Oops :p

Doc Spears' debut in the GE universe is nothing short of Epic! Absolutley loved it! So much that I'm reviewing it after listening to it for the 2nd time! I must have gotten busy and forgot to review the first time I completed it. If you already like Galaxy's Edge, or military scifi in general, you're going to love Doc's entire DO series.

Super Interesting

Great perspective of a single secret spook. Nice change from the series norm without being way out in left field. The narrator should have listened to other books in the series or at least talked to the series creators how to pronounce Zhee. Hearing him mispronounce a people group featured so prominently throughout this book and the series was painful to hear, otherwise the narrator did an exceptional job with so many different voices.

Nice addition to the galaxy

This was an interesting story that blends galaxy’s edge and a new angle on the proceedings in other books. The narrator did a nice job with different characters. I recommend it!

Fantastic, as always!

I'm constantly surprised by how much I absolutely enjoy the hell out of each new release. Honestly, you don't need me to tell you how good this is if you're this far in the series. If you aren't, this is still a decent standalone military scifi read but you've got some catching up to do!

Couldn’t get enough

Thrilling, suspenseful and entertaining! I couldn’t get enough of Kel’s time as an operator and the flashbacks. I also enjoyed the personal relationships he developed during his time as an operator!

The Galaxy’s Edge universe gets bigger

This spinoff is focused on a single Dark Ops agent.

The Narrator is fantastic and for the most part avoids problems voicing the opposite sex, although some cheesy writing of woman characters really tests his ability.

Story is little weak especially with regards to three act narrative structure (what does the protagonist want? What is his test?), but the things that make GE great are still here: detailed and engaging description of tools, process, thoughts, tactics, strategy and combat. If you’ve ever been bored watching a film that uses shaky camerawork as a shortcut to “action and excitement”, and then been on the edge of your seat watching another film that uses assured camerawork and editing to pinpoint the movie’s people and elements in space and time, this is the book equivalent of that. You always know exactly what’s going on whether during long drawn out politicking or frenetic bursts of action.

Highly recommend the whole universe.

Story was good but narration was meh.

the narrator was the weakness in this production. He was a little over dramatic at times and I had to speed up the playback. he gave voices to some characters that don't fit and I don't like how he pronounces some terms. Doc Spears did a good job with the story although there seemed to be some minor inconsistencies with galaxy's edge lore.
