About this listen
In the high-tech laboratories of tomorrow a new breed of super-soldier is born!
The brutal face of warfare has been dramatically altered. Armored giants now roam the explosive fields of battle. Massive instruments of devastation with computer minds inseparably linked with the brainwaves of their human masters. They are the Warbots. Men and machines combined to create the most lethal warriors in the history of armed conflict.
But a monstrous challenge emerges for the mechanical gladiators emanating from a country that technology forgot. As Captain Curt Carson leads his robot infantry in a daring attempt to rescue 105 hostages from the sadistic clutches of a bloodthirsty terrorist army, the soldiers of tomorrow face the butchers of yesterday in a battle for the future of the free world.
The first book in a 12-part series that has been out of print for many years is now back!

Story
This is the book that dares to show us the military hardware, global upheavals, and raw combat a second Korean War would unleash. How F-16s would blast across the 38th Parallel. How ultra-modern submarines would vie for the seas. And how two armies would turn the snowfields of Asia red with blood. A thundering geopolitical thriller of vast scope, this is Red Phoenix - and a new standard for military/political suspense fiction.

Story
John Perry did two things on his 75th birthday. First he visited his wife's grave. Then he joined the army. The good news is that humanity finally made it into interstellar space. The bad news is that planets fit to live on are scarce—and alien races willing to fight us for them are common. So: we fight. To defend Earth, and to stake our own claim to planetary real estate. Far from Earth, the war has been going on for decades: brutal, bloody, unyielding. Earth itself is a backwater.

At 6:00 a.m. on the morning of October 3, 2009, Combat Outpost Keating was viciously attacked by Taliban insurgents. The 53 U.S. troops, having been stationed at the bottom of three steep mountains, were severely outmanned by nearly 400 Taliban fighters. Though the Americans ultimately prevailed, their casualties made it one of the war's deadliest battles for U.S. forces. And after more than three years in that dangerous and vulnerable valley a mere 14 miles from the Pakistan border, the U.S. abandoned and bombed the camp.

Unruly Naor clans might raid across the border, but the king himself would never lead his people to war so long as the blade remained in the hands of his enemies. But when squire Elenai’s aging uncovers evidence that the sword in their hall is a forgery, she’s forced to flee Darassus for her life, her only ally the reckless, disillusioned Kyrkenall.

Robin Moore became one of the first true embedded journalists by training with and fighting alongside the Green Berets in Vietnam. Though fictionalized, his work is an eye-opening exposé of the horrors of the Vietnam War and the basis for the hit John Wayne movie of the same title. Taut, fast-paced, and interspersed with unforgettable accounts of combat, Moore’s novel features an American major who goes "native" with Montagnard tribesmen, a courageous Vietnamese girl who poses as a rabid anti-American Communist to capture a murderous Viet Cong officer, and the unforgettable acts of courage of soldiers in the field.

Story
They landed in a dust storm so thick the pilot used dead reckoning and a guess to find the ground. Welcomed by a band of heavily armed militiamen, they climbed a mountain on horseback to meet the most ferocious warlord in Asia. They plotted a war of nineteenth-century maneuvers against a twenty-first-century foe. They trekked through minefields, sometimes past the mangled bodies of local tribesmen who'd shared food with them hours before. The men they helped called them brothers. Hollywood called them the Horse Soldiers. They called themselves Green Berets—Special Forces ODA 595.

Story
At 6:00 a.m. on the morning of October 3, 2009, Combat Outpost Keating was viciously attacked by Taliban insurgents. The 53 U.S. troops, having been stationed at the bottom of three steep mountains, were severely outmanned by nearly 400 Taliban fighters. Though the Americans ultimately prevailed, their casualties made it one of the war's deadliest battles for U.S. forces. And after more than three years in that dangerous and vulnerable valley a mere 14 miles from the Pakistan border, the U.S. abandoned and bombed the camp.

Story
In April 1945, the Allies are charging toward Berlin from the west, the Russians from the east. For Hitler, the situation is hopeless. But at this turning point in history, another war is about to explode. To win World War II, the Allies dealt with the devil. Joseph Stalin helped FDR, Churchill, and Truman crush Hitler. But what if "Uncle Joe" had given in to his desire to possess Germany and all of Europe? In this stunning novel, Robert Conroy picks up the history of the war just as American troops cross the Elbe into Germany. Then Stalin slams them with the brute force of his enormous Soviet army.

Story
On April 6, 2003, 26 Green Berets, including those of Sergeant First Class Frank Antenori's Special Forces A-Team (call sign Roughneck Nine One), fought a vastly superior force at a remote crossroads near the village of Debecka, Iraq. The enemy unit had battle tanks and 150 well-trained, well-equipped, and well-commanded soldiers. The Green Berets stopped the enemy advance, then fought them until only a handful of Iraqi survivors finally fled the battlefield.

Story
It is difficult to find another soldier's story to equal Captain Darrell Watt's in terms of time spent on the field of battle and challenges faced. Even by the lofty standards of the SAS and Special Forces, one has to look far to find anyone who can match his record of resilience and valor in the face of such daunting odds and with resources so paltry. In the fight, he showed himself to be a military maestro. After 12 years in the cauldron of war, his cause slipped from beneath him, and Rhodesia gave way to Zimbabwe.

Heavy on nostalgia…
I had fond memories of this book from when I originally read it back in the late 80s/early 90s. I would not say that it held up. It’s a strange mix. Some good ideas and some awkward writing come out very middling in the end. The writing may have improved as the series went on but I didn’t find the characters as appealing now as I did when I was a teenager. Oh well.

Oddly Enjoyable
A narrator I follow closely on here and FB, KC Johnston, suggested Sean Dureggers narration, and specifically this book.
Story 4Stars. It's a good story, but is definitely a bit dated. nothing jarring that takes you away from it, but it's still good, if they had half stars i'd say 4.5, but they do not.
Performance 5Stars. again if they did this in figure skating type scoring i'd say 4.7-4.8 but they do not. Duregger, does an overal solid job and it's clear crisp sounds. He did a good job of being in the story and drawing in the listener, though on a very few occasions he seemed a bit stilted, but that's just nit picking. very solid job. 5stars
Overall 5Stars. the narration really wins this one in the end and pushes the story up a notch. I'm going to buy a few more from this narrator and we shall see how it goes.
If you like Military Sci-Fi, it's worth the credit.

Are you lookin' for robot action, this'll do it...
The only reason that I was able to finish this book was because it has good bones, so the main action and plotline kept my interest... It certainly wasn't because of the protagonist, Capt. Curt Carson, as I found him to be a thoroughly unlikable character. He might not have been narcissistic, but he certainly loved the sound of his name, and it was used all the freakin' time, all three words strung together, not one, not two, but All Three, ALL the TiMe!!! When he kept his mind on the business of warbots and surviving the military mission, well... that was pretty okay, but as soon as he got to thinking about women, including the female soldiers on his own team, I seriously wanted OUT of this predatory perverts head! Really, don't get me wrong... there's no sex in the book (thankfully), as it's all innuendo, and implied, but that alone was uncomfortable enough to make me feel sullied and icky!
Sean Duregger is an okay voice actor, but he mispronounced several words and that would often pull me out of the book...
So for military action that's packed full up with robots, a big thumbs up... but, if you're looking for good character development, and a less chauvinistic overtone, you'll need to go elsewhere for your reading material.

Great story
I love this story. I have read this book 3 or 4 times myself. I have actually read the entire 12 book series multiple times. I do wish that you would audiblize the entire series instead of just the very 1st book to book.

Enjoyable Military Sci-Fi Novel
This is an entertaining military Sci-Fi novel with plenty of robot and infantry combat. It’s interesting to listen to a SciFi book that was written in the 80s, and I think it still holds up fairly well today. The story has an original concept, especially considering when it was written. The military uses robots, piloted by people that nice and safe (for the most part) from far away, using what we would call a sophisticated immersion reality system today. The book generally moves along quickly, and I found myself listening non-stop. The narrator does a good job with all of the characters voices, but there were a few times when he mispronounced words. Overall an enjoyable military sci-fi novel, and I’m looking forward to book two.
I was given a free review copy of this audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

A man's world!
This is definitely a manly man's story. For the most part I stayed interested. I occasionally got lost in all the tech details, but I'm sure someone who has been around military would eat this up.
The narrator did an excellent job. His voice is clear and smooth. You can just picture the characters clearly.

Liked it okay
I liked this one well enough, though it wasn't my favorite sci-fi story ever. The premise was interesting, though it kind of dragged even while there was a lot of action. I mean, ultimately, it described a single battle and some events both before and after it. Over 12 hours was too long for what it was. I have enjoyed other works by Mr. Stine better than this one.
Also, I received this as a review copy from the narrator in exchange for an honest review, but unfortunately I have to report that the narration was the weakest part to me. He did okay, but some of the voices weren't very well done in my opinion. Your mileage of course may vary.

Awesome
The story started off very dry but as it went alone you could not stop listening. The wrong very well don and you could not ask for a better narrator he was able to bring each and ever character alive and breathing and also made the listener feel he knew the characters.
I always wonder what it might be like to have a robot army were human could interface with computer and this gave a view of what it could be and at the same time told what could go wrong.
I do recommend this audible and wish the other books in this series was audible also
