About this listen

The Expeditionary Force saga continues with Breakaway, the eagerly awaited sequel to number-one Audible-ranked and New York Times best-selling Brushfire, from an epic sci-fi writer at the top of his game. Join the millions of listeners who have enjoyed R.C. Bray’s hilarious portrayal of Joe, Skippy, The Merry Band of Pirates, and so many other unforgettable characters.

The Merry Band of Pirates offered the bad guys a ceasefire. We won’t mess with them, if they don’t mess with us. Easy, right?

No.

The aliens chose to do things the hard way. So, the Pirates are racing around the galaxy to clean up the threat to Earth. The infant UN Navy has their own mission with the Alien Legion: Get humanity some allies in the fight. And the Ethics & Compliance Office might have to do something...ethical. Unless they can find a way around it.

Keeps on keeping on!

Write faster Craig , can’t wait for the next book! Pace, humour, twists and turns. What shenanigans can these pirates get up to next? What next impossible situation will they get out of? As always the narrating by RC Bray is awesomeness!

These books never disappoint

Craig Alanson has created the most brilliant series and this book is another great listen. Can't wait for tomorrow when the next book comes out. I am going to be so lost when this series comes to an end - I think there might be 3 books remaining.


You might notice that I seem to only ever give 4 or 5 star reviews. It is not that I am overly generous . There are many books that I have listened to that I have not particularly liked - I just don't write a review for those books.

Excellent as ever.

I love listening to your story telling as I go about my day. It certainly helps that the story is so engrossing.

Worst part about finishing the book...

...I have to wait for the next one!

Just finished during my lunch break. Did not disappoint, desperately awaiting the next one (yes... It's only been 5 minutes but still can't wait)

Loved it!!

If you haven’t meet Skippy and his barrel of monkeys you have to get into this series! Another great book the developing story keeps me hooked at every wormhole and as always the narration really brings the characters to life.

Expeditionary Force has raised the bar so high,

Note to Craig Alanson ( if you read the reviews) Please WRITE FASTER! I cannot wait 6 months see what happens next.
RC Bray - you are the KING! That is all I have to say.

Excellent addition and can't wait for more

I was originally upset because I thought this book was going to be the last in the series but I was overwhelmed with joy that there is more. I loved every minute of this book. Tying all the characters together was interesting and it just worked well. Sucks we gotta wait so long for the next one now.

Yeah I’m an Addict

There’s a lot of other stuff falling by the wayside but i must admit i’m still enjoying this series and the way it’s read and presented. There are so many arcs available and real world questions that come to front case in point - proxy warfare in modern times and whether it requires a non-aligned third party to challenge the entrenched cyclical stalemate of attack and retribution drive by self serving nationalistic ideologies employed by leaderships to maintain power.
