I stumbled upon these books in the 90s. I have to say they are incredibly well written. not a huge fan of the reader although he did well with the voices and material.

Lost Regiment was the first, still the best

With this fourth addition to the series we finally bring the war with the Merki to a close. As a finale to the conflict, it works pretty well. After giving their all, the humans finally manage to turn the tide. If you've come this far, you'll want to stick it out.

The 35th Maine draw a line in the sand...
