Wish I could give 9 stars!

4 extra stars just for the Ethics and Compliance Office ship names alone. Craig, you have struck gold with the "Beetles"! I can't be the only one who wants a book about them and especially the Ethics and Compliance Office people. Pleeeeez!

The EOC are gold!

The series was already hilarious, but the EOC takes it to a whole new level of tear inducing hilarity.

Great naration, in search of a story.

I love the main series, but this was very disappointing. It has all the charm of listening to a natation of someone playing a video game. Way too much blah blah blah. Humans are surprisingly clever, blah blah blah.

I know that monkeys love bananas, but this feels like a desperate lunge for a big bunch.

So much fun

This was exactly the thing I needed. Exforce is great, but a break in between the story was needed. This one ticked all the boxes, very much the most exciting and interesting Mavericks story to date. It had me hooked, listening to it with bated breath at some points and had me audibly saying "yes!" at others, getting me out of my chair and pacing as the story unfolded. A wild ride all around, and one of the most exciting Exforce books yet. Listen to this at the appropriate time, check out the chronological order online, you will not be disappointed. Excellent listen, 11/10 fantastic.

One big long battle

If you like constant action you'll enjoy this book. I only listened since its necessary for reading the main story, the book i'm at directly relates to events and characters from this novel. Its alright, definitely has low points that drag on. You can skip much of the book if you're only interested in the story, which amounts to maybe 30% of the book.
RC Bray kills it, as always.

I’m glad I bought it 👌😆

Some top notch zingers in here and I got a lot of good laughs. 5 star ⭐️ performance...the lizard lisp was just mint.
I think Perkins is a lame character but the beetles and lizards make it up.

Good story

My only complaint is the author spends too much time talking about how things work
which takes away from the story. I'm an action junkie and a lot of the story bores me, which might be my problem.

More of this!

Much better flow and intensity than main expeditionary force. No insufferable Skippy/Bishop bickering assholishness. There's also none of the recap fluffing over and over. Please more of this in the main series!
