What could test a marine more than all-out war? The Scourge.

A simple distress beacon....

A mining colony in the outer reaches....

Supposedly another routine deployment for Mike Barton of the Combined States Marine Corps, but what they find on the surface is unlike anything anyone had ever encountered.

Horribly wounded in a battle with an unknown quantity, Barton only survives through a chance encounter with two special operators. As if the skirmish wasn’t enough, what comes next will be beyond his imagination.

Thrown into a joint task force with troops from the New Russian Confederacy, Barton must return to the colony, face what had be-fallen him there, and investigate what killed everyone.

The investigation will have to wait because the Scourge won’t. The fight for his life continues and his chances are slim.

amazing story telling can't wait for the next book . I'd love to see this on the small screen or a video game like halo.

This was a pretty good read about a territory war between the US and Russia in space. Some good
battles, right along with some snarky remarks between our hero Michael Barton and Aleksander Komarov, the leader of the Russians that were supposed to be at a truce with the US, to only try to kill all of the team. But, hey! The MC's were easy to remember: Michael Barton, Michael Anders, and Michael MacMillan. LOL

No romance and the F-bomb was used 153 times.

As for the narration: Hmmm! It was just alright for me. James Patrick Cronin has a good reading voice but doesn't have much emotion when he reads the story. Time and time again someone would be in battle and yell something to another and all Cronin would do is read in a normal voice. That's not good preforming to me.

Pretty darn good..

Really enjoyed this one and the humor was good but this definitely gave me some mass effect vibes also the changes of POV between the characters was great since it mainly focuses on the MC but when it changes it's to give you what's going on behind the scenes or at another part of the battlefield, can't wait for the next one!

Awesome
