About this listen
To win the war one man must break the rules of war. Because in the fight against the ruthless Sa’Nerran Empire there is only victory or death.
The Sa’Nerra were close to defeat, then everything changed. Armed with a unique neural weapon, the merciless alien warriors turned fleet crew against their own. Entire warships went rogue. Suspicion and fear ran riot.
Victory now required new tactics and a new kind of ship and crew.
Lucas Sterling is an Omega captain. He is the commander of the fleet Marauder Invictus - an elite, black-ops warship that operates outside the rules of combat. Together with his crew of Omega officers - each chosen in a depraved and monstrous trial of grit and determination - Sterling will stop at nothing to beat the brutal Sa’Nerra. Even if that means killing fleet crew that have been “turned”. Even if that means killing the people he loves.
They say space is cold, but the heart of an Omega captain is colder still…
This special edition omnibus contains the first three books in the epic Omega Taskforce military sci-fi series. If you like the sound of Battlestar Galactica crossed with Star Trek's Section 31, you'll love it. Enjoy ruthless alien warriors, running gun battles, devastating space combat, mystery, high-stakes action and epic twists.
Books included in the set:
- Book 1: The Emissary
- Book 2: Void Recon
- Book 3: The Exile

Hudson Powell had always been a drifter, but after his father died, he vowed to turn his life around. He quit freelancing as a starship pilot and joined the Relic Guardian Force as a 38-year-old rookie. That was a big mistake. The RGF police the alien wrecks that have been found on every portal world discovered in the last century. They make sure the relic hunters pay taxes on the priceless alien tech they scavenge from the hulks. The snag is that the RGF is corrupt. And Hudson’s training officer Logan Griff is the worst scumbag of the lot.

Decent Space Opera
Three books for one credit is always a good deal as long as the story is decent. This one starts out a bit hard to get into but once it gets going you don’t want to put it down. The narration is hard to listen to at first but it grows on you and is not near as bad by the end. I actually enjoyed the story and I am now looking forward to the next box set in this series.

This book series started Rough
This book series started rough, like really rough. I didn't think I was going to be able to listen to it, Since I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review, I decided to force myself just listen to it for a bit and see. The main issue I found was the voice in the beginning, I couldn't figure it out. After listening to all 21+hours I can tell you I loved it and can't wait to listen to others in this series.
The main characters' trials and tribulations add a huge depth to the story and to see the growth over time has been great, the demons in the leads head seems to have been changing and I need to read more to know what happens. I am a fan for sure, give it a shot you never know in 5 min but after 15 I was hooked

Military Science Fiction Space Opera
The flawed characters of this military science fiction space opera are well-developed and engaging; they drew me into the story. The entertaining plot is fast-paced with lots of action and adventure including hand-to-hand combat as well as space battles. There were plenty of twists and turns, political intrigue, danger, mystery, manipulation, suspense and humor. I look forward to reading and/or listening to the rest of the series. This is the first time that I have listened to narrator Steve Barnes. It took me a chapter or two to become accustomed to his somewhat breathy whisper for the exposition; the delivery of the voices of the different characters was much more enjoyable and entertaining. I was provided a free review copy of this audiobook and am voluntarily leaving this review.

Good space war
Good space war with concerns about tech implants. The narration was a little rough, nasally and lispy but not with the character voices only the narrative. It wasn't too distracting after a bit.

Sorry - it just isn't very good
There are a number of issues with this series. I only managed to finish 2,5 of the 3 books before it was too much.
1) The narrator has a bizarre voice to the point where it gets distracting even after enduring it for a long time.
2) The story is very one-dimensional and follows only the captain and his bridge crew.
3) The premise of humans being brainwashed by aliens is interesting, but it seems that the author or certainly the main character doesn't really understand the idea of being brainwashed. They repeatedly refer to the brainwashed humans as traitors. A brainwashed person with no control is not a traitor! Being a traitor would require that you had intent to betray your own. The brainwashed / neuro controlled humans do not have this intent.
4) There is almost not real science in this Sci-Fi. Some very basic rules of physics are broken all the time, and space battles are silly and lift most from the starwars universe e.g. a lot of "hot" flying is what saves the day.
5) You only follow the bridge crew as they go on various missions to save the day. Other crew on the starships are essentially treated as "red shirts". We do not hear a single story of other crew and the bridge crew is on every single mission. Never do they send a squad of soldiers ahead - the captain is always out front, which makes no sense for this to be military sci-fi.
6) It gets boring and repetitive.
Sorry - if you are over 14 years old - this will seem silly and dumb.

Predictable and Repetitive
Rambling action, constant close calls, lacks any character development. I got to the end, but can’t recommend.
