Not my cup of tea

I was recommended this by a friend and didn’t read the reviews before listening. If I had realized that this was US Army military fiction, I would not have purchased it, because it’s one of my less liked genres.
I listened to about half way through. The writing was ok and the performer did a great job. If you like this kind of thing you should give it a try.

Base series build up well worth the wait

The story has a lot of hiden subtleties that need to be noted as you listen. Great story telling and the build up is worth the wait. if you like Sci-Fi combat with great believable characters this is the series for you.
