Lädt ... Marines: Crimson Worlds 1 (Original 2012; 2012. Auflage)von Jay Allan
Werk-InformationenMarines von Jay Allan (2012)    Keine Keine aktuelle Diskussion zu diesem Buch.  jetangen4571 | Jun 12, 2022 |   Now let's talk about why I'm only giving this book 2/5 stars: While there was tremendous potential in the universe, Allen didn't capitalize on it. Like other reviewers, I thought a lot more time could have been spent on personal interactions. The book was too spartan - what interesting political power plays are happening? Why does he fall in love with his doctor? How the hell does he go up in rank so quickly? I'll probably continue reading the series, but not immediately.

Erik Cain joined the marines to get off death row. The deal was simple; enlist to fight in space and he would be pardoned for all his crimes.In the 23rd Century, assault troops go to war wearing AI-assisted, nuclear-powered armor, but it is still men and blood that win battles. From one brutal campaign to the next, Erik and his comrades fight an increasingly desperate war over the resource rich colony worlds that have become vital to the economies of Earth's exhausted and despotic Superpowers.As Erik rises through the ranks he finally finds a home, first with the marines who fight at his side and later among the colonists - men and women who have dared to leave everything behind to build a new society on the frontier, one where the freedoms and rights lost long ago on Earth are preserved.Amidst the blood and death and sacrifice, Erik begins to wonder. Is he fighting the right war? Who is the real enemy?Crimson Worlds II: The Cost of Victory - Available Now!Tombstone: A Crimson Worlds Prequel - Available Now!Crimson Worlds III: A Little Rebellion - December 2012 Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

Interesting military sci-fi with US Marines' Space Force. Lots of shoot-em-up and all that. Not my usual read, but I AM fond of USMC. As for the story, it needs work just like any first in series by any author. The good news is that it sets up characters and situations for the rest of the series, AND, unlike film/TV, books only get better as the series grow.
I have the audio narrated by Jeff Bower. I haven't listened to him before, but I think he just needs more practice. He did OK with the differentiations and I found that I preferred to listen at 1.10 speed. (
