You should never speak truth to power…
The Galactic Empire is dying and chaos and anarchy are breaking out everywhere. After a disastrous mission against terrorists on Earth itself, Captain Edward Stalker of the Terran Marine Corps makes the mistake of speaking truth to power, telling one of the most powerful men in the Empire a few home truths. As a result, Captain Stalker and his men are unceremoniously exiled to Avalon, a world right on the Rim of the Empire. It should have been an easy posting....
Well, apart from the bandits infesting the countryside, an insurgency that threatens to topple the Empire's loose control over Avalon, and a corrupt civil government more interested in what it can extort from the population than fighting a war. The Marines rapidly find themselves caught up in a whirlwind of political and economic chaos, fighting to preserve Avalon before the competing factions tear the world apart. They're Marines; if anyone can do it, they can.
The battle to save the Empire starts here.

What did you love best about The Empire's Corps?
I think the story was very well thought out and just fun to listen toWhat did you like best about this story?
The characters are well developed for the most part. Though the author does tend to repeat himself a little to often for my taste.What about Jeffrey Kafer’s performance did you like?
He did a fine job. Characters were well developed and easy to listen to.Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes, finished it in about 2.5 days.Any additional comments?
This is a good book. It is not a great master piece by any stretch of the imagination but it is really fun to listen to. I think it is either just below or on the same level as David Webber's Honor Harrington Series. I think weber is a slightly better writer but not by a large degree.Also while I liked the Ark Royal books I think these ones (at least through the end of book 2) are heads and shoulders over Ark Royal so far as the writing and plot go.
this book was fun

I also need to comment on the narrator, Jeffrey Kafer. He may have been part of my problem with the books. He has a tendency to end each sentence on a down note, draining the tension and excitement out of each sentence. It seemed to make the story a little more boring.
Ehhh. Okay, but never grabbed me

As for the reader, this gentleman needs to find a new line of work. He mispronounced words. He read the wrong word sometimes, rendering the sentence nonsensical. I had to guess at which word the author meant. His voice inflection was weird. He emphasized the wrong words at the wrong times. He had an odd type of vocal fry where he ended sentences in an extremely choppy manner. It was very annoying. Like this thing was being read by a third grader. For instance, the way he read the phrase "yes, sir" was just weird. Please don't use this reader again.
If you want something good by this author, go read the Ark Royal series. He must've learned something between this crapfest and those books.
Not Ark Royal

I will quickly pick up all that are added in the future...
I love the Series and Highly recomend it.

It's a little heavy-handed in it's political messages, and had all that space gone into building up the characters this could have easily been 5 stars.
However, it was a very enjoyable listen, well worth the credit and I will be continuing the series.
Solid Military Sci-Fi
