Description

Galaxy's Edge contains Legionnaire through to the end of Galactic Outlaws.

On the edge of the galaxy, a diplomatic mission to an alien planet takes a turn when the Legionnaires, an elite special fighting force, find themselves ambushed and stranded behind enemy lines. They struggle to survive under siege, waiting on a rescue that might never come.

In the seedy starport of Ackabar, a young girl searches the crime-ridden gutters to avenge her father's murder; not far away, a double-dealing legionniare-turned-smuggler hunts an epic payday; and somewhere along the outer galaxy, a mysterious bounty hunter lies in wait.

Galaxy's Edge combines sleek starfighters, exotic aliens, loyal bots, blasters, scoundrels, heroes, and powerful enemies in a thrilling adventure that will take you back to that magic place from a long time ago.

I would listen to RC Bray read a phone book

The title of my review may seem to take away from the book itself, but to be quite honest, the book was great. It shoved you into a whole new galaxy without apology and you are forced to play catch up. There’s no prolonged preamble to explain and flesh out the world, you are just there as a fresh set of eyes taking it all as a given. I like this form of world building. You are here to witness the story, the characters, the action and the moment. No distractions to paint the world. Your mind provides the image without hand holding. It becomes yours.

The initial story felt abandoned when you then flash forward 7 years. I wanted to know what happened to the characters we met. So it was jarring starting a whole new tale. Almost felt like it was unnecessary. But even unnecessary, it was a great introduction with tons of action and plenty of great character moments. The second story is a sprawling adventure that reminded me very much of the Firefly series, or the film Serenity for those who don’t know Firefly. (Watch it. You won’t regret it).

two books for the price of one!

The first book, top notch, really enjoyed it, fast past, very detailed and R.C.Brays 5/5 as always, but the second book just could not spike my interest, I may buy the 3rd/4th book for another try tho, all authors have a one off (i hope) that's all it is

An ok story to be honest. Brilliant performance

Was thoroughly bored for the first few chapters. Story picked up in the last few chapters. Definitely not the best military SciFi I have read/ heard this year.

Good, not great

It's an interesting story but the pacing is off. It's as if the authors are trying to cram in more story into less text.

I'm on the fence about trying the sequel.

RC Bray solid as always.

Sci-fi Fan? Listen up!

Seriously. I’ve been reading sci-fi for eons, and in the last 5 years listening on audible non stop. I drive for work so audio books galore. This series is some of the best written sci-fi out there. A bit of a slow start in part I, and yes, you do have to watch out for a couple of sections that are a flash forward or backwards, but man when the story picks up steam you can’t stop listening. Great technical writing too. Just get it! Cheers

Action packed but didn’t make me want to continue the series

If you enjoy military action books and war movies from the 50s you might love this. I am not in either of these demographics and I found this book (two books in one) rather pedestrian and old-fashioned in a bad way. There is a load of sexism, a lack of female voice (even the main female characters don’t say much) and a lot of colonial-style military expansionism. What I despised the most was the “legionnaire brotherhood as quintessentially noble” garbage. The plot was entirely predictable and I found I didn’t care if any of the characters lived or died with the sole exception of one of the bots. I was actually rooting for the aliens in the first book. I gave the story 2 stars because the writing was good and the narrator did his best.

Meh...not impressed

I wasn't crazy about it. R C Bray does an amazing job as usual, but I couldn't get into the story. My mind wondered quite a bit and found myself rewinding because I lost track of what was happening. Also, I kept comparing it to Star Wars, a few characters were very familiar as well as parts of the story. Expeditionary Force series is sooo much better!

This has all happened before

This is a double audiobook, the start of a series of Space Operas.
I classify some films as 2-hour car chases, because they consist entirely of action, with very little exposition.
These two novel falls into that category. The first, Legionnaire, is one long fire-fight. The reader is dumped into the midst of a very bad situation, with no background to speak of. It felt like it was about the Gulf War, set on a far distant planet.
The second novel, Galactic Outlaws, is a complete departure. It is an imitation of Star Wars, and not a good one! Filled with cardboard characters and buzzwords reminiscent of the film franchise, it races from battle to battle with all the subtlety of a car chase.
I felt exhausted just looking at the other titles of this series. It is very long. I shall not continue.

Convoluted style overwhelms great action sequences

3rd time I decided to give this author a try, because there are some really good scenes in each I've read. But there's this game of being too clever by half or struggling to demonstrate some kind of wisdom that burdens the story, typically by putting the start of the story at the very end. And it's never some brief tidy or colourful backstory. It's always an interminable additional story that lacks punch.

I stayed with it long enough that I can't mark it as one or two stars but it's bad enough that I won't be giving this author any more of my time.
