About this listen

Cam Alvarez was finished with war. But war isn’t finished with him.

Hausos is a peaceful farming colony. Once controlled by the Tahni, it's now settled by a collection of homeless refugees and war veterans, among them Cam and Vicky. Their life is pleasantly boring, quiet enough for demons from the war to nag at the corners of Cam’s mind on lonely nights. He fights the demons back with willpower and alcohol, determined to make this place home.

But the peace doesn’t last. Serpents show up in their pastoral Eden, smugglers from the Pirate Worlds caching weapons on the farms of their neighbors, taking advantage of the colony’s isolation and lack of law enforcement. Cam is worried, but he’s a civilian, and it’s none of his business.

However, the smugglers are just lackeys for the real mastermind, a former colonel in the Tahni Imperial Army, leading a group of disaffected Tahni soldiers in a quest for revenge against the humans who toppled their society.

Will Cam and Vicky be drawn back into the fight against an old enemy? Will fate finally catch up with them, here on their home front?

The fifth installment of the best-selling Drop Trooper military sci-fi series is here!

so good I could read it 87 times!

these books will never be listed among the greatest science fiction of all time. they're not in it to be that. what they are is interesting, well written, enjoyable books with just a hint of technology and character development. I started reading The author's books late last year and have finished most of them at this point.

Excellent!

Excellent continuation of the series! Thought at first it was falling off with the "Farm on a colony" theme at the beginning, but it picked up big time after the stage was set.

Very nice job with the narration, James!

A bit slow out of the gates compared to 1-4.

Good story and interesting premise. Like the narration which sounded familiar... sure enough he's done the Zone Wars trilogy and several other audiobooks I've purchased which explains the familiar voice. I like to stick with series books so long as the story is good. Heck, I'm on... what is it - book 13 of the 'Merry band of pirates' and look forward to this story line continuing. Hurry up with 7 and 8.

Deceptive book cover, but good Story

The author gets better and better with each book, and he achieves a good continuation of the series.

the Narrator is getting more professional

Little let down after Books 1-4

Seems like all the creative effort went into books one through four and this one seemed to drag and left you hanging after you paid your $$.
Kind of a prep for a follow on series MAYBE...
