À propos de cet audio

Thrilling science-fiction adventure from best-selling authors Larry Correia and John Brown.

The heart of a warrior

Once, Jackson Rook was a war hero. Raised from boyhood to pilot an exosuit mech, he’d fought gallantly for the rebellion against the Collectivists. But that was a long time ago, on a world very far away.

Now, Jackson Rook is a criminal, a smuggler on board the Multipurpose Supply Vehicle Tar Heel. His latest mission: steal a top-of-the-line mech called the Citadel and deliver it to the far-flung planet Swindle, a world so hostile even the air will kill you. The client: a man known only as the Warlord.

Rook has been in the smuggling business long enough to know that it’s best to take the money and not ask questions. But Rook cannot stand by and watch as the Warlord runs roughshod over the citizens of Swindle, the way the Collectivists did on his homeworld. For all his mercenary ways, Rook is not a pirate. And deep within the smuggler, the heart of a warrior still beats.

Standard plot but fairly well done. The final battle is a little anticlimactic. Over all it held my attention and entertained. In the end that's what really matters.

Worth the price of admission.

I normally love world building in a novel. but not at the expense of the overall story. And this is Gun Runner's original sin. There is two or three books worth of background, hidden agendas and characters with secret pasts here, and most of them really aren't need to drive the main story. Which is too bad, the main story has some good bones, serving as a cautionary tail of getting involved in internal politics while imposing or own beliefs onto the situation.

Oliver Wyman does is usual great job with the book's narration saving the book several times collasping under it own weight.

Too much world building not enough story
