For centuries, mankind has searched for nonhuman civilizations in the cosmos. These lost alien societies have finally been discovered—but they were destroyed long ago.

Devin Starn starts off as a lowly rock rat aboard Borag, a mining ship working the dangerous end of the asteroid belt. Slowly, he gains prestige and purpose. When an alien base is uncovered, however, he must risk everything to protect his ship and her crew.

What wiped out all the civilizations that came before humanity?

Find out in B. V. Larson’s Red Company: First Strike!, a pulse-pounding, high-stakes military sci-fi adventure.

Very basic and boring. Writing is so simple that one looses interest within 30 minutes of listening. Gave it a few chances but couldn’t justify returning to it after 3rd try…

Terrible story and plot

Loved the story of the rock rat becoming a red company marine. Then his adventures on a deep space mission. Looking forward to the next book.

Great story of rock rat becoming a space marine.

Seems like this book is for young readers, Follow along with this good, naive-but-fast-learning, socially-challenged but upward climbing person as he chooses between right and wrong each day during his fun space adventures. Not aimed at me, even given Mark Boyett’s always entertaining narration, but probably perfectly on target for the intended audience.

Seems like intended for young readers

Liked the book. Doesn't feel like it's a rehash of the author's other scifi series.

Promising new series, could be longer

As with most of the Larson books with his reader, it’s excellent interesting, and captures and retains your attention throughout the book

Story

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
I was hoping this would be more like undying mercenaries but this storyline is really basic and the main character has a particularly moronic way with of speaking.

Low intellect space sci fi
