About this listen

What would you do if you were given a second chance?

Titus Briggs is an Earth Defense soldier, a grunt, a decorated war hero—it's all he's ever known. So when a career-ending injury leaves him lying in a hospital bed, missing both legs, he struggles to accept his new reality. He can no longer walk, which means he can no longer fight.

That is until a mysterious colonel arrives and offers Titus the opportunity to step into a new kind of war, a new kind of fight. To become a new kind of soldier.

Mobile Combat Suits—MOCOMS—represent the next stage in human warfare. They enable soldiers to fight like never before. Stronger. Faster. Bristling with weaponry. Far more lethal.

Even a disabled veteran like Titus can operate one… if he can find the heart, grit, and determination needed to pass selection.

Now, with the end of humanity upon him, Titus must become the Able Bodied Soldier.

Another cracking RC bray performance

Looking forward to book 2 & 3, mechs, duty, military doctrines, mate ship and aliens that need to be sent packing all bathed in Bray - perfect combo.

Great mix of man and machine

Smattering of AI, mechanics and human interaction. Hope to see the direct linkages fleshed out in future

Great idea has more potential.

I think this book is good but it had some missed opportunities to lead towards great. Some of the battles seemed a bit confusing and not imaginative enough. Descriptive enough without overwhelming.

Overall though it’s worth listening to and hopefully the next book only elevates the potential!

character development

great story, good spin on mech warfare and how it would develop. I like how 2 perspectives on how to do the warfare was involved.

This story was very enjoyable.

The performance was excellent.
Story was very good, especially the history of the main character.
There were no space marines. I am really tired of them.
The bad guys were unusual and different enough so that they were satisfyingly a good fit.
It will be interesting to see where this goes.

Fantastic, can’t wait for the next book. Classic Military sci-fi coupled with the amazing voice acting of RC Bray.

Good read that I didnt want to put down.

An interesting story in an interesting setting. A bit light on the worldbuilding and details make it more of a focus on the characters and events, both of which turned out pretty good. The characters felt pretty realistic and had a degree of depth.
One issue I had was some combat sequences getting long. It makes sense for the genre but I really would have liked something to break up those.
The other being a few character’s voices being a bit too similar.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and I look forwards to the rest of the trilogy in audiobook form.

Fast paced action

If book two is as good as this was it’ll be another great series. Two thumbs up
