Good story

Good story, Rev was young and flawed. He started maturing through his training. Action and adventure. Liked it because he wasn’t a hero who got everything right but learned.

Okay..

Decent story but don't expect much action since there's very little of it. The narration was Decent other than you can't really tell when a female character is speaking since they sound like male voices

A Surprise Listen

I was initially hesitant with this purchase, but the book kept me engaged after a somewhat goofy start.

Fun book reminds me of old mans war

I really enjoyed this book. It definitely has some elements from old mans war, specifically the ones around augmentation and government secrecy. I’ve not listened to this narrator before and he was great! I couldn’t help but feel anxious with what led the protagonist to military service. I found myself buying into the story so much that I was extremely angry that a traffic ticket led to enlistment. I can’t help but wonder why they aren’t rioting. Either way, I was immersed and looking forward to the next one. Highly recommended!

I'm a simple guy. I see Chaney, I buy.

This one delivered exactly what I wanted. A great story ,fun characters, and a superb narration. My only question is when is book 2 coming out? I see it's out on ebook already, so I hope that means the audio is around the corner.

I love how Chaney puts these out so efficiently. It's incredible.

Cant produce these books fast enough.

This is an amazing story of the trials and tribulations of a self centered civilian being forced into the military to fight a war for the very survival of the human race. yet it is more than that, Rev is more complex than that, with family dynamics and personal beliefs that he struggles with all the way to the end of the book.
