About this listen

Ten's mission is supposed to be simple. Provide overwatch for his team.

Captain Warden and Lance Corporal Goodwin are the space marines with the hard job. They have to infiltrate a Deathless base, identify and capture a senior officer and extract him from under the nose of his soldiers, preferably without dying in the process. They’re relying on Ten to watch their backs, but when he is accosted by the denizens of the jungle he’s yomping through, he has to make a tough choice between speed and humanity. Should he go for the quick option of violence, using decades of experience as a commando to free himself of his captors? Or will he exercise restraint and rely on his rusty social skills and find a diplomatic solution?

Already behind schedule and with his team in the line of fire, how will Ten complete his journey?

Journey to the West takes place during Ascendant, book three of The Royal Marine Space Commandos series. If you like fast-paced military sci-fi, with rousing action, heroic deeds, and a bunch of Brits looking for their next cup of tea, you’ll love the RMSC universe.

I listened to this short story because I really enjoy this voice actor. I was quickly sucked into the story, then paid attention to the descriptions of the “clones” and the alien world wildlife. Going in, I knew this was a very short story and that the world-building would therefore be lacking. As this is book 0, and books 1 and 2 are also available on Audible (though not on Audible Plus) it would appear that this is a 40 minute sample of what you can expect from the books themselves. I was intrigued by this short beginning, so I’d have to say that this technique was effective. 👍

A good sampling of what books 1 & 2 will offer

This is one of the best coverups aka backstory so it is one of the most interesting

Good

this little blurb comes in the middle of book three. save it till then. it makes no sense otherwise. and even then it is not complete. I have not gone beyond this point in book three so maybe it gets fleshed out in a bit.

needs context

while this was less than an hour long, I am interested in diving in to see what happens in the plot.
Steve West knows how to bring the hardened Marine to life and makes it known when other characters are speaking. Always love his narratives.

Intrigued!

“Well bollux! I’ve just been captured by space monkeys.
This is going to put a serious dent in my credibility.”
Unfortunately, space monkeys did not lead to the James T Kirk exaggerated sci-fi pulp I was looking for. There wasn’t enough camp, action, or personality to entice me further, even though books 1 & 2 are currently free listens.

Teaser didn’t do its job

simple language, very overplayed themes. fake accented narration. horribly faked. I'm adding this to my list of terrible authors and narrators.

hard to listen to.
