I retired from the USMC, and now I write about space marines.

I never thought I’d actually become one.

As a sci-fi author with a hit TV show, I have a few ideas about what alien invaders are supposed to look like. In my stories, they’re technologically advanced monsters, with tentacles, and no faces.

Turns out I was right about the technology.

And about how angry they’d be.

But the way they look…that’s more terrifying than even I could have imagined.

They look exactly like us.

Because they are us.

Military Sci-Fi

I found this story to be entertaining and easy to follow. Not a hard sci-fi which was nice and pacing was quick.

self awareness in a humorous yet still gritty wartime sci-fi, yes please!

This story is a lot like the "Expeditionary Force" series, just minus the beer can, and fluff (er nutter). I literally can't put the series down, at about halfway through the three book bundle I already purchased the rest of the series and have yet to be disappointed. A future classic to be sure, I cannot recommend this series enough.

Decent action book set in space

Fun, will keep you on your toes, decent writing.

However, it does lose two stars for some blatant xenophobic (towards humans, not towards aliens) commentary including blaming COVID as being an intentional attack by the Chinese government.

Space opera? Or space top 40?

Our protagonist is blessed with an irrepressible joi de vivre and enthusiasm for new frontiers, carrying him through tragedies that lend ballast to the otherwise lighthearted story. Quick paced and well read, the narrator giving delightful nuance.

Hidden gem

I don't leave many reviews but after getting hooked on this series I thought I might share how enjoyable it is. Good space adventure.

Rick Partlow should be every veterans favorite author

His knowledge of how the military is makes his books amazing. I wish they had a girl do the girl parts.

Incredibly fun

Unputdownable. I’m not military, but I work as a civilian for the USAF and this set was a super fun listen. Easy to understand, the narrator did an awesome job with the various voices. Sort of reminded me of Project Hail Mary in the style it was written. I love books with “informal” vocabulary, it makes it much easier to relate to.

fun and accurate

this story was a lot of fun, and the narration brought the characters to life. most importantly for me was the accuracy and believability of the military jargon, personnel, and the interactions between those personnel. that's a veteran this is an area where some military sci-fi can become distracting, but not so for this author.
