Story
Rika is a scout mech. Once human, now she is the property of the Genevian military. Rika's crime was small, stealing food. But when faced with a five-year prison term, or conscription in the Genevian military, she chose war. She had no idea what that conscription would entail. Now little of Rika's human body remains, and she serves as an SMI-2 scout mech, the meat inside a cyborg body. She, and others like her, are sent in ahead of the human soldiers to tip the scales of war.

Story
Tanis is looking forward to a long journey in stasis before arriving at the newly terraformed world of New Eden. New Life. New Start. Getting a berth on the Intrepid is her ticket out of the Sol System. But nothing proves easy for Major Tanis Richards. Nothing is at it seems. What should be a simple trip is fraught with danger and filled with adventure. An array of forces seek to stop the Intrepid - no matter the cost, or lives lost. From competing corporations, to stellar eco-terrorists, no one wants the Intrepid to arrive at New Eden.

Story
The galaxy’s worst bounty hunter just might be its most relentless hero. Esper Richelieu is a wizard with a mission: To make the galaxy a better place one lost soul at a time. Donning the trappings of an interstellar bounty hunter, she delves into the galaxy’s underworld to search out those most in need of help. Whether it’s a teenage runaway or an actor kidnapped by cultists, the victim comes first. Money is an afterthought. That confuses a lot of clients. But sometimes the best way to get someone to accept the help they need is to convince them to pay for it.

Tanis and her boarding team gear up for another routine inspection that turns into anything but as the two crews struggle for supremacy out in the cold dark between worlds.

And she was going to get to the bottom of it if it was the last thing she'd do, which it was starting to look like it very well might be. The thing is, Daisy had a simple rule for space travel.

It started as a simple heist. It went to hell from there. On a space station orbiting a pale blue sun, a package changes hands. Data too sensitive to transmit will be exposed for one brief moment. The client is paying a crazy sum - if the job is clean. That’s not going to happen. Instead, the galaxy’s unluckiest crew of outlaws will have to put all their resources into salvaging what they can from the job. Even if it’s only avoiding blame for the fallout.

The mission is simple. Escort an emissary to an intergalactic peace summit. Try not to get in the way. Lt. Magnus and his 79th Recon Team have certainly handled worse, after all. But when an explosion rocks the tower and sends everyone into a panic, Magnus and his asset find themselves cut off from the rest of the team. Worse still, a dying alien chieftain gives them a priceless drive of intel, marking them for death. The mission has officially changed. With enemies on all sides, Magnus must do everything in his power to protect the emissary and escape the tower.

An o.k. story in it's genre.
I believe I am being fair to the author/narrator. I might have marked them one star in each of the three categories. Quite frankly, the story really dragged along. That made it feel like it was longer than it should have taken. Anyway, that's my take. You might get a lot more out of it, therefore I do recommend this book. Now for the obligatory: "I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review." "I was voluntarily provided this review copy audiobook at no charge by the author, publisher and/or narrator.”

We need more of Rika's Series!
Very good story. I liked the narrator. The dates and locations between each scene got a little annoying after awhile. But I would buy the rest of Rikas books on audible in a heart beat. Hint hint.

Excellent tale of mech warfare
M. D. Cooper has constructed a visionary and engaging universe with his Aeon 14 books, and Rika's Marauders is a series within that. Rika herself is relatable and determined...almost like if Honor Harrington had a horrible childhood and was forced into being a mech. That being said, as much as the stories are action-packed sci-fi, it's Cooper's ability to create and maintain engaging characters that really makes the narrative engaging.
Stinnett does a solid job with the narration, not really detracting or distracting from the story. Based on some reviews I was a little worried, but after I got used to her delivery (which happened pretty quickly) I forgot about her for the most part and enjoyed the story. Solid (but not exceptional) job on the narration.
All in all a fun listen and I look forward to listening to more books in the series.

Nice
Well this is nice and handy to be able to listen to all three books at once. I really enjoyed listening to this audio version and the narrator does a lovely job of bringing the characters to life.
