Publisher's Summary

A seasoned military officer uncovers a deadly conspiracy on a distant, war-torn planet…

War heroes aren't usually called out of semi-retirement and sent to the far reaches of the galaxy for a routine investigation. So when Colonel Carl Butler answers the call from an old and powerful friend, he knows it's something big - and he's not being told the whole story. A high councilor's son has gone MIA out of Cappa Base, the space station orbiting a battle-ravaged planet. The young lieutenant had been wounded and evacuated - but there's no record of him having ever arrived at hospital command.

The colonel quickly finds Cappa Base to be a labyrinth of dead ends and sabotage: the hospital commander stonewalls him, the Special Ops leader won't come off the planet, witnesses go missing, radar data disappears, and that’s before he encounters the alien enemy. Butler has no choice but to drop down onto a hostile planet - because someone is using the war zone as a cover. The answers are there - Butler just has to make it back alive…

Excellent listen, couldn't stop

Plot was extremely well put together, conversations felt real and main character was likable and strong. I definitely recommend this book and I'm excited to continue the series.

Fantastic SciFi

This was a pleasure to listen too. I'll be honest, I only picked it up because of Bray, but I'm glad I did. Solid writing and awesome characters. Worth a credit. #Audible1

Millitary mystery sci-fi

It is fast paced, makes you care about the characters, has some good cynical humour, and the moral greyness keeps things interesting.

The narration is well done and suits the book quite well. I would listen to more of R.C Bray anytime.

The writing is good at showing the main characters thought process and how he reacts to the world around him. He is fun to spend time with.
Female characters don't get ignored or blatantly objectified.

I will keep an eye on the series based on this book and can't wait to check out the sequel.

Better than expected

Most military SciFi reads like throw away video game fluff at best or right wing propaganda at worst, but this managed to be funny, gritty, down to earth and up in space all at once. lots of good world building, decent dialog, and an over all fun cast of characters. The voice acting amplified all these great aspects, the voice work and pacing were wonderful, the tone spot on... The actual story was... predictable, but not unenjoyable, and a good enough excuse for some great fun along the way.
