Publisher's Summary

Four complete books of explosive, military sci-fi action complete the entire first arc of the best-selling Drop Trooper series.

Go to war or go to jail. For small-time street hustler Cam Alvarez, the choice is simple....

He has no family, no friends, no place in the world...nothing to lose. When his latest con results in the death of a cartel hit man, Cam opts to join the Marines and leave Earth to fight a vicious alien enemy.

Drafted into the Marine Drop-Troopers, Cam discovers there’s one thing he’s even better at than running street-con games, and that’s killing the enemy. Wrapped in an armored battlesuit, Cam finds purpose amid the horror and destruction of the war, and the opportunity for a new sort of friends and family...if he can break the habits of a life spent alone, trusting no one.

And if he can survive....

Buy this special edition omnibus to experience a thrilling and unpredictable military sci-fi adventure! It's perfect for fans of JN Chaney, Jay Allan, and Joshua Dalzelle.

In one word, INCREDIBLE

Rick partlow is amazing at creating a world that draws you in with action and dramatic twists and he doesn’t hold his punches. People he makes you care about will die. One of the best sci fi writers I’ve ever had the pleasure of listening to and an amazing narrator to go along with it.

Excellent series

Characters and story are very engaging. Narration was very good. I am not a high sci fi fan but this series is much more than that and the explanation of the tech is just enough.

Sci-fi at its finest

This collection of books is very good. The characters are engaging and show growth, so you really care about them. It balances the harsh reality of war through drama, action and trauma, spiced up with some grimdarkness here and there. A must listen!

not disappointed, not even close.

I was not finding anything that kept my interest and was willing.g to pit this down as soon as I lost interest.
it didn't happen.
I am buying the other books as soon as I can download them.

Good military sci-fi

This 4 book set was well worth the money. A continuation of the Holy Wars series but told from a different perspective. Good characters and story. Narrator told a story rather than read a book to you.
There’s more than 4 books however you can read these 4 books and feel like you finished the story.

It has it's ups and downs.

Not a terrible listen and it held my attention. The main character does tend to whine a bit for my taste. Suck it up and get the job done or wallow in self doubt and follow the guy in front. Pick one.

The story falls back on the military novel cliche that politicians and incompetents run the military. Sad that so many stories slide into that mud pit. The best stories are where capable and competent people fight through a tough situation to come out on top. Let's face facts. If the organization wasn't coordinated and the troops capable, they would probably not win the day.
