Description
A scouting mission gone bad. A life-changing loss of time. Can a privateer team navigate a bloody revolution to find their way home?
Liam Hoffen is used to straightforward missions going off the rails. But when he emerges from a crash-landing, one look tells him he’ll need more than a simple repair job. Having spent years inadvertently trapped in stasis, life has done more than pass him by...it’s dumped his entire team into an alien revolution.
Stranded on a rugged world hundreds of thousands of light years from home, Liam and his crew are immediately swept up in incomprehensible planetary politics. Choosing the wrong side to defeat a fresh menace could be the difference between life and death.
Can Liam find a way off the planet before it becomes their final resting place?
Privateers in Exile is the 16th stand-alone audiobook in the Privateer Tales series of military space operas. If you like alien firefights, galactic power plays, and gritty heroes, then you’ll love Jamie McFarlane’s rocket-fueled adventure.

Negative reviews are so wrong.
It's very clear who finished the book and who didn't because all these reviews about the author "destroying" the characters couldn't be more wrong. It's hard to refute their claims without spoiling anything so I'll just say this: Finish the damn book!
For months I put off listening to this because of all the negative reviews and their similarity with my experience of "The Fear Saga" and how the author of that series utterly destroyed those characters in the last book. That experience really stuck with me and I didn't want it to happen again but with all my free time during quarantine, I decided to give this a go despite the reviews and I'm frackin' glad I did!
I know it's bad form to critique other people's reviews but it's clear they hadn't finished the book and I sincerely hope my review gets at least one person to look past them and read/listen to the end!

Why the reviews say it's bad, spoilers marked
A disclaimer, I did not finish the book however I can explain why my review is still relevant ifypu bear with me.
The non spoiler version is this. The author starts the same way every arc starts in this series; some set of events result in the crew being severely disadvantaged in ways beyond their control and having to work their way back up or being thrown into a situation where their current assets are insufficient to solve the new problem. Pretty standard stuff we've all come to know and love from Privateer Tales. However what is different is that while these events are major for the plot arc they are almost always minor for the character development. Instead the characters develop, albeit very slowly and only slightly, through out the meat of the story. That way we can settle into the new arc with the comforting familiarity of the personalities and dynamics we've come to know and love before getting to the major character developments. However this time he does both at once, and I would say that the plot development of the initiating event pales in comparison to the gravity and implications of the character developments. Gone are those comfortable dynamics in almost the blink of an eye. To call it jarring is an understatement and they are not positive developments by any sense of the term, although I feel that part is rather obvious. But it's more than that. What really makes it too hard to just grit my teeth and bear it has to do with where the last book left off, but alas this is the end of the non spoiler section. If I have not convinced you to just walk away and imagine book 15 was the wonderful finale it could have been, if you still feel that no random review can stir your faith in the Loose Nuts crew and then leave now if you wish everything to remain a mystery. Oh what I would give to be as young as you again.
Now if you have decided that spoilers are not heresy, I would ironically disagree but shall none the less facilitate your unquenchable curiosity if for nothing else then to spare you the pain I felt. The first hour or two of listening made me literally toss my headphones across the room in anger. The initiating event I described plunges our heroes into the future, where my evil is law, now the fool seeks to return to the past and undo the future that is Aku... Wait no, sorry, wrong story. But joking aside our heroes are cast into the future, but only Liam gets there in the fast lane while everyone else takes the scenic route. He awakens to find all his friends 20 years older. Pretty big shock for the first hour or two of reading in this series, but that's not the deal breaker. No the real knife in the back was that after the entire last hour of book 15 was spent begging tabby not to do it, after crying for Liam's loss, after rejoicing at her miraculous survival, Liam finally loses her.... But not to the icy clutches of death...no she eventually moved on and found someone new thinking Liam was dead. 15 books building on their relationship, and with the last one hinging on it so heavily, just to have it shattered like a window giving way to a rock was just too much for me to continue. It doesn't matter if they eventually get back together and it all works out in the end some how. there is a limit to what you should reasonably expect your audience to put up with given the tone and pace set so far, and this was waaay over the line. The relationship between Liam nick and tabby was literally the first thing we learned about. We learned it before we learned about asteroid mining, or big Pete, or Mars protectorate, or podball, or any of it. Their dynamic was the rock of the series and especially so for the emotionally intimate dynamic between Liam and Tabby. I can't even count how many times I've felt Liam's relief vicariously when he thumbed his ring and felt it tug back. And to have that torn away in an instant, totally out of no where, after 15 fracking books? No. I'm out. I'm done. I refuse to sit here and continue to feel the serrations of the emotional blade the author shoved in my back. Good by Loose Nuts, it's been one hell of a ride.
Well, I have nothing else to report, so if even after all that you still wish to continue and read/listen to this book then there's only one more thing I need to say.....
I stand relieved.
