About this listen

Ocean’s Eleven meets John Scalzi in this funny, action-filled, stand-alone sci-fi adventure from the author of Planetside, in which a small team of misfit soldiers takes on a mission that could change the entire galaxy.

Sergeant Gastovsky—Gas to everyone but his superior officers—never wanted to be a soldier. Far from it. But when a con goes wrong and he needs a place to lay low for a while, he finds himself wearing the power armor of the augmented infantry.

After three years on a six-year contract, Gas has found his groove running low-level cons and various illegal activities that make him good money on the side. He’s the guy who can get you what you need. But he’s always had his eye out for a big score—the one that might set him up for life after the military.

When one of his soldiers is left behind after a seemingly pointless battle, Gas sees his chance. He assembles a team of misfit soldiers that would push the term “ragtag” to its limits for a big con that leads them on a daring behind-the-lines mission, pitting him not only against enemy soldiers but against the top brass of his own organization.

If he pulls this off, not only will he save his squadmate, he might just become the legend he’s always considered himself. He might also change the way the entire galaxy looks at this war. But for any of that to happen, he has to live through this insane plan.

And charm rarely stops bullets.

I listened to the planetside series not too long ago and really loved Mammays writing style and story telling abilities so figured I'd try out some of his other works. After listening to this book i can say with confidence that he's a very talented author and im going to keep a look out for any future works he puts out. This book had a pretty wide range of lovable characters, a very entertaining, complex plot that keeps you involved and on your toes. It wasnt too stressful or maddening which is a big bonus because of how many authors these days seem to confuse a bunch of stressful situations with a good engaging plot🤮. He kept things fun and light hearted without sacrificing the depth of the story or characters and kept me guessing about how everything would turn out. The narration was great too. Cant wait for his next masterpiece!!!

Cemented my appreciation of Mammay👌

I cannot wait for the next book to come out. It kept you reeling for more than hits you like a brick right at the end. 10/10

Absolutely stellar book

So far, I've liked all of Mammay's books. His others were more along the mystery/detective type while this one was more of a heist/caper type. All set on other worlds. This was a great book with interesting characters. I look forward to more of his books.

Really enjoyed it!

Great listen, the narrator captured the voices with uniqueness. The plot was fun to follow and was unique in places. Language was a bit immature with dozen of gratuitous F bombs.

Excellent

Just like the Planetside series Michael Mammay makes the story less about the action and for more about the thrill and detective side of the story. Enjoyed just as much as Planetside. Macleod Andrews is always a phenomenal narrator.

Solid Michael Mammay

Action packed, funny sci-fi—loved it! A fun, fast read, but I was also very emotionally connected to the characters. Another great read from Mike Mammay.
