After a soldier is left for dead, Eva Delgado's life begins to unravel.

The truth of what happened remains a mystery, and the government will stop at nothing to keep it buried.

Together with the unit's medic, Eva finds herself branded a terrorist and enemy of the state, hunted by two opposing governments.

When the pair uncover a plot that could have ramifications for the whole galaxy, they know they have to act, but it will take all of their training, cunning and just a bit of luck to do what no one else has achieved.

But what do you do when every secret begets another? And how far will you go to find the answers?

Loved the storyline, especially since the main characters are badass females, who don't go down easily.

The world/system created was easy to understand abd follow; not elementary, but also so complicated that it becomes convoluted.

It took me about 3-4 chapters for the narrator to grow on me. But after that, I was good.

Looking forward to book two!

Excellent story!

Good story but don't look for any realism where military discipline is concerned. No branch of military service would allow a subordinate to question their commanding officer like the main character does, let alone her insubordination.

Good story.

Medium paced with an overall bland story. performances were fine. Left me not interested in the next book.

Not terrible.....kind of bland

I've gotten lost in every book I've listened to from J.N. Chaney. I just started this book and I already can't put it down. Another great start to a new series.

Keep them coming!

Loved it and the narrator was very good at telling me the story and I felt like I was part of the story.

Great

The writing isn't the most detailed and the plot points aren't very deep or original. But if you're looking for something that'll keep you relatively entertained without thinking too much about it, this is a good one, especially since it's free with Audible Plus.

Entertaining, and moves at a good clip

It is amazing, to me, how many excellently-trained sci-fi heroes are naive half-wits.
It is equally-amazing that so many narrators can not enunciate. 🫤

Just another mediocre sci-fi story. 😐

Wow! What an incredible and exciting story. I cannot wait to read the next one! =D

Incredible!

I started this book with an open mind, though I must've been expecting something. Anyone who says women can't write military scifi have been reading the wrong authors. This is no longer a boys club, if it ever was. Yes, there's a romance element, but this isn't a romance book. Plenty of blood, cool weapons, and violence. And a completely plausible character. So plausible, I wonder how much of one or both authors have experienced what she went through.

This story also expands on the Renegade Star universe. It answers questions I didn't know I had, like "how bad are the Sarkonians, really?" Hint: Jace wasn't kidding about how bad either side was.

Well done. On to book 2!

Wow. Not what I expected.

At first I wasn't sure I was going to like this book. It was a bit dark. I'm glad I continued to listen because this seems to be a series that I am going to enjoy.

good beginning
