Publisher's Summary

While the crew of the UN Expeditionary Force's pirate starship Flying Dutchman are enjoying a luxury vacation cruise (not!), UNEF troops are still stranded on an alien-controlled planet.

Major Emily Perkins and her team are busy picking up the pieces, and it's not easy, because there is trouble on Paradise...

Separate Story, still good...

I was skeptical seeing a "3.5" in this series. Outside of being referenced a couple times the main character of the series was not present. I like the story more than I had expected but the duration of the story was very short considering the price tag on it. If It was cheaper I'd say it's worth it. Skipping this story will not negatively affect jumping into book 4

Great fun !!!

Great side story to the main series. Once again, R.C. Bray knocks it out of the park.

Very good

This story fills in what happens on paradise after the major events of book 3. The story does not introduce anything about the normal cast of characters.

Decent short story

I thought this wouldn’t be as good of a read without Skippy. I was proven wrong. A bit more in the serious note, by very good overall.

Good but not worth the price

Quite enjoyable! However it was quite expensive for such a short book, and having listened to the main books first, this book is not necessary. But that doesn’t diminish the fact that it’s quite a good book!
Does make me miss skippy though!

No Skippy!

I was really worried when I realized there was no Skippy or space travel or elder stuff in this segment. However I ended up getting into the story. Perkins is a great character!

Required Reading

I wondered about skipping this book as it was only a short story in between the main series. I’m glad I didn’t. The plot of this book is only briefly mentioned by Skippy in the next book and you will be missing a lot of key plot points if you skip it. The fate of the Keepers, Glory, and UNEF/Ruhar relations. A new character is also introduced who will likely be and important character later in the series.

The book is a little slow starting out and feels a little rushed towards the end. But all and all, it’s an awesome story starring the characters on Paradise. RC Bray does his magic as usual as an amazing narrator. Very much recommend this book if you’re reading the series.

My Review of Trouble on Paradise

Voice acting is very well, executed and clear and very decisive. In his speaking. The overall story is very elaborate and enthusiastic and exciting the cliffhangers within the chapters are amazing and the end of the book is absolutely perfectly executed
