Story
An artificial object made of compressed stardust is barreling toward Earth. Is it an invasion ship? A doomsday weapon? Perhaps it’s the final response of Squanto, the Warlord of Rigel who James McGill has repeatedly humiliated. Or could it be from the Mogwa, sent to avenge McGill’s assassination of Earth’s Imperial Governor? No one knows the truth of its origins, but the object is huge and unstoppable. Whoever hurled this rock at us isn’t answering our calls. Every weapon bounces off, and the people of Earth begin to go mad as they realize their destruction is only hours away.

Publisher's Summary
The Galactics arrived with their Battle Fleet in 2052. Rather than being exterminated under a barrage of hell-burners, Earth joined a vast Empire that spanned the Milky Way.
More than a century has passed since the glorious day of Earth’s annexation. Struggling to hold on to a handful of planets in the frontier provinces, humanity is at war with Rigel. After the destruction of both our fleet and theirs, a time of quiet rebuilding has begun.
James McGill was hoping for a peaceful break in the conflict, but an opportunity to gain a significant technological edge arises. He’s summoned to Central and sent off to the stars, searching for a strange planet dotted with crystalline formations. There, the vicious apex predators from Rigel manufacture their impenetrable body armor.
McGill is sent to the new planet first as an agent, then at the forefront of Legion Varus. He must face death, evil aliens, and his own untrustworthy government. Find out who lives and who gets permed in Glass World, book 13 of the Undying Mercenaries series.
With over three million copies sold, USA Today best-selling author B. V. Larson is the king of modern military science fiction.

BV Larson has never met an actual human woman
I’m pretty sure BV Larson has never met an actual human woman but he insists on trying to write female characters. I stay with this series because it comes out when I’ve got nothing else to listen to.

Outstanding addition to the series!!!
I really enjoy this series and hope it keeps going. It's like a TV series but in book form. For me each book is like an episode. The formula works and is predictable which is a good thing for me. There are no cliffhangers in this series. The problem gets solved by the end and McGill saves the day. Just a purely fun series that I can't get enough of. Wondering what world is next!!!

Tired
I like the author and the main premise of the book but there needs to be some up side even if it’s just for a change 13 books now and it’s the same McGill saves the day and gets punished for it over and over again it get frustrating when I finish 13 if it’s still the same I’m done.

You read one of these books, you've read them all
First, the overt sexism in these books is exhausting. the author obviously is partaking in a bit of wish fulfillment. mcGill's treatment of women is horrifying, and the authors writing of women is shallow and obviously his wet dream. and to top it off, the line, "flirting is a promise of future sex" had me wanting to throw my phone against the wall. Second, The use of unacceptable words such as "retard", show a small mind not capable of compassion. and poor writing. Third, the writing is stale. The same villains keep showing up, over and over again, doing the same thing. It is really showing a stunning lack imagination on the writer's part. Nobody grows, nobody changes, nobody learns a damned thing. Graves and Drusis are supposed to be wise, good leaders, but the allow themselves to be manipulated by stupid, greedy people who perform poorly, over and over again. And the obvious solutions are missed by everyone, but McGill. And then McGill gives these people passes because he wants to screw them. Sloppy writing indeed. This is the last book in this series I will read. and I only got this far because they either were free or a $1.99.

Awesome world building. And as much of a womanizer and liar old James McGill is, he's also brave and strangely principled, so I haven't tired of his continuing adventures. Love the narrator!

The worst of the series.
I've listened to all of the books in the series and thanks to some uncharacteristically bad character juggling this story loses all of its believability (yeah, believability is probably the wrong word for a sci-fi tale but when I have to suspend my understanding of human nature as well as science, I lose interest).

Love the series, but this one started to lose me.
With the exception of two details, I loved this book just as much as the past 12. But Winslade returned for the sole purpose of central finding out how he defected in book 12... but somehow he ends up in command and with overruling authority/access - this was to much of an oversight not to be addressed in this book, for me. The other part that bugged me, was McGill was pursuing Abigail... up until now McGill has always had a sense of conscience. But essentially looking to screw one of his arch enemies, in the female form, also didn't make sense to me. But like I said other than these two things the book was great as was all the others

Read every book so far and THIS BOOK BOMBED.
If you like books that make zero logical sense then this is for you.. In Glass World, they take someone who has been proven a traitor to earth and put him in charge of everything even after being suspected of sabotaging the ship. There is even more of B.V Larsons classic repeating useless info and then repeating it again just so you can mentally scream get on with it already. Then there is the useless space holders of his love making with different women and how they look. Oh and the nail on the coffin is James McGill makes love with The Female clone version of the MAN that has been his enemy fo so many books. Also the whole concept that the Volbites are making the armor is poorly thought out. So they weave layers of Star dust into silk like fibers with excrement.. First how did the Volbites learn how to do so, if the Bears give them the star dust. Even so how did the bears know the bugs could do this without a synthetic system to do it firstly. And then a process so simple would be easy to study the suits and go ok layer silk, dust ect.. Also early in the book Torov makes the statement that the place where the star blew up has physics that allow the processes of the armor making to work. And that gets thrown out the window and somehow turned into the Volbites making the Armor suits.. Its like the author forgets his own path and wanders off through the woods at times searching for a new trail. Also the fact that everyone uses the exact same frazes for Mcgills bs is boring. Grade A Gorgia horseshit, Ham Handed ect. Cultural differences ect wouldn't allow for this in any setting, and if characters have different accents ect they wouldn't use speech patterns as if they all grew up in the same small town.

Won't ever get tired of this series
I don't know what it is but McGill is hands down my favorite character of all time. The stories aren't the best in the world, but they are told in what I consider remarkably well written. This will be the 7th time I've listened to the entire series and I'll never get bored of the books.
