Publisher's summary

Max Culp escaped his low-tech home world by serving in the marines as a medic. Unable to adapt to civilian life as a medical intern, he joined Special Forces to track down the Phib war criminals who caused his recurring nightmares. By the time the final Phib is captured, Max has become an urban legend among the aliens. He isn't sure how to apply those skills to a new life until someone kidnaps his last surviving friend.

Never a dull moment in this epic

First book, and narrating own book. Risky, but often worthwhile. First chapter has rookie recording errors (thumps), but his voices are good. Within the first few minutes we're in a military caper that's going all wrong. In addition, we've got five interesting, wildly different and believable alien races, numerous pieces of believable tech, and a complex medical treatment in combat. I ignore the occasional thumps and soldier on.


Much of the information comes too fast, with an alien race or war or planet given clues but not entirely explained. These bits are like jigsaw puzzle pieces being slammed down as the human merc healer and satyr (goat) helper converse for another caper against a turtle guilty of genocide on a high crime planet. Several more twists and turns (the hilarious reason for them comes out a few chapters later) and then another caper is getting set up. That closes up chapter one, and by then the rookie recording errors are over. (The author should re-record the first chapter)

It's been awhile since I've seen so much character building and universe building by the end of a first chapter, all in the midst of action. I like that the author never slows down. Lots of good science in the mix as well.

This is great science fiction. Highly recommended.

Great space opera. Looking forward to more!

A complex and conflicted character--the kind of person you wish you knew personally but also find a little scary--in a richly imagined world. Great action and high stakes. I'm impatient for the rest of the series! Jump in.
