About this listen

Disaster.

There was no other word to describe how Operation Olympic had changed in a flash from a triumph to the worst failure the Merry Band of Pirates had ever experienced. A failure that meant the fight was over. Unless the Pirates could perform a miracle, without Skippy.

The Expeditionary Force saga continues with Gateway from epic sci-fi writer Craig Alanson and narrated by none other than R.C. Bray.

outstanding with a single complaint

On occasion the audio glitches. Generally when the narrator overwhelms the microphone with a loud noise

Glad it’s back

Skippy and all of it. That’s what I like. Would like the next book to explore the potential science behind the improbability field and the outsiders potential science.

I love this series

Another fantastic addition to the story. I started listening to this series back during Covid. Since that time I have moved states, held 3 jobs, and gotten married. It has slowly but SURELY become my MOST favorite sci-fi series ever. I have tried and failed SO MANY TIMES to find anything that resembles the wonder/entertainment I get from Ex-Force.

yet another great story

fantastic story. been listening since the beginning and always look forward to the next one. I don't imagine it will ever end.... there is a universe of potential disasters to solve soooooo let's just say the only way this series can ever end IMHO is if bishop gets the probability field on his side. anyways I thought it was another fantastic listen/read

Awesome Journey

Craig, Bob… nearing 1000 books and you guys are receiving my first review!

Awesome, thank you for the journey!

Craig, I thanked you at Christmas a few years ago… I had survived a ruptured brain aneurysm and two brain operations in 2016. Still Here!

Skippy and the Mary Band of Pirates reside permanently in my rebuild synoptic nodes.

Bob, you read for me when I was unable to read for myself, Thank You
Stay stubborn, stay Strong

Gotta love Skippy

As usual RC Bray brings the story to life, what else can you say about a well written and narrated book without having to include a lot of spoiler alerts...

Time spent with old friends

Sparkling dialogue, swashbuckling space drama. After 18 books I still look forward to the next episode
