A stand-alone adventure novel that is also part of the Shattering/Legions Saga!
The galactic agent known as Hawk has awakened too soon in a galaxy shattered by apocalyptic warfare. His master, the Machine, is possibly insane, and the great Adversary of Man has returned. Armed with futuristic weapons he doesn't fully understand and a sentient starship that he dares not trust, he must confront his former allies, turned renegades and pirates instead of soldiers. His new mission is simple, yet perhaps impossible: He must unite them - or all life in our galaxy will end!
Hawk: Hand of The Machine is vintage Van Allen Plexico - stripped-down, all-out Military SF/Space Opera action and adventure in the grand tradition, with bold heroes, deadly menaces, and the future of the very galaxy at stake!

Critic reviews
"Plexico writes some of the most readable action scenes around." (Barry Reese, creator of The Rook)
The Machine - Hawk (a god?) - a galactic war
Interesting stuff.
Unfortunately for me, I did not enjoy the narration. Not that the narrator is terrible, but you can hear him inhale at the beginning of each line - This drove me crazy and took most of the enjoyment out of the story(for me anyway).
I recommend listening to the preview to determine if it will be an issue for you before you buy - if you can handle it, you may very well enjoy this series.
Interesting story

This book was pretty good, I had my doubts at first but the story kept building leading me to want to know more about the main characters past and the outcome of the galaxy. The way it ended I could see there being a sequel I would be interested in finding out what happened to the characters but it ended on a note to where a sequel isn’t needed. I have been listening to all of Sean’s work and he is a damn good narrator he draws you in, not at all monotone. Each of his characters sound individual though so of his characters between books share a similar voice however I expect that as its hard to have a 1000 individual voices at your disposal that you can speak with ease and at your command. Looking forward to listening to more of Seans work it gets better each time (trying to listen to his work in order from his first to latest narration.) I think this is worth a listen and helped me get through a couple work days.
Better than I was expecting

The narrator did justice to all the characters. Bringing out their personalities to the point I want this series to continue.
Did I mention that I would like to see this continue? Just making sure.
This audio was given to me free and I voluntarily gave this review.
Hope there's more to come!

While Hawk, the equivalent to a augmented Special Ops solider for a being called The Machine, is the main character, i found myself drawn to the demolitions expert Falcon more. But, the overall story is good, a little slow going in the beginning, when you hit the halfway point it really starts to pick up. I really applaud the author for creating such a thorugh universe, that makes me continue to want to learn more.
As for narration, it was solid enough, chracters were really well done, and kept me entertained throughout.
i received this as a free copy, but my opinions are my own.
Solid
