About this listen
Humanity has started to colonize other worlds and learned the lessons of colonization anew. A recent war with a neighboring alien race has prompted changes in Earth's military. Straining the relationship between Earth and her colonies. Worlds such as Tronis, now a trade center that was spared from the war.
Pirates have started to attack the Tronis trade routes. The latest attack has taken hostages, and the government is forced to ask for help from Earth. Enter Gamma Squadron, the United Nations Space Corps' latest evolution of Earth's special forces teams.
Commander Jubert and his two squads lead by Chief Petty Officer Keith, and Petty Officer First Class Holte, are tasked with rescuing the hostages and putting an end to this piracy with any means necessary. The only complication is the presence of a journalist, John Aerovant. This adds one more life Keith must protect amid a battle inside a pirate stronghold.

Characters work well together
I found the overall story rather lacking. I'll admit i normally listen to books with run times of 14-40+ hours so for me this seemed very short. It was well written and the full cast gave it depth. I loved the different sound effects that helped to bring the story to life. The biggest reason for my 3 star overall is that this really just felt like act 1 of a much larger story.

Good story, some audio hiccups
I thought the story line was good. Starting from an over-the-shoulder perspective of the "newsy", I enjoyed diving into this space-opera military drama from a civilian's perspective.
Things I liked: The characters were pretty well developed, even in a short novella, and the dialogue felt pretty clean. The story itself was reasonably good, though a lot of it focused on some pretty long and descriptive combat sequences.
Regarding the audio, this is one of the first "full immersion" stories I've listened to, and overall it was pretty well done. Some of the sound effects I didn't enjoy, and the mixing was a little inconsistent as far as volume and quality, but overall it wasn't hard on the ears.
Things I wasn't as fond of: I didn't like the perspective shifting away from the journalist MC. The extended combat sequence from the perspective of one of the leaders of the military outfit was alright, but I would have preferred to stick with one POV for how short the novella was.
Again, with the audio, one of the pilot's accents was so unintelligible that it really took me out of the story. Everything else was at least average-or-better, and the narrator was always very consistent and enjoyable to listen to.
So I think the story gets 4*, but the audio portion gets 3* for some of the inconsistencies and that one section where I couldn't understand them.
