About this listen

The elite crew of the pirate ship UNS Flying Dutchman had a simple mission: determining whether the Thuranin are sending another starship to Earth. Along the way, they became sidetracked by securing a future for the UNEF troops on the planet Paradise. When asked whether Earth was now safe, their ancient alien AI responded "Not so much"...now they have to deal with the consequences.

Spec Ops and the Merry Band of Pirates

With Skippy facing his own internal challenges it is fun to follow the hairless monkeys on their flying banana!! I am really surprised that Joe has not had a dig at Skippy having worms.....

Outstanding

The toss and turns of “Black Ops” is an thrilling suspense. Each decision of the (not so) Merry band of Pirates brings about another thrilling twist that has me ensnared and outright craving to hear more.
