Publisher's Summary
A new threat arrives from the rim of the galaxy. From the colorless depths of space, unknown invaders strike worlds across the Frontier Zone.
Rigel is a thousand lightyears farther from the Core Worlds than Earth, so they suffer the first attacks. The mood at Central is jubilant. Our greatest rival is falling—now is the time to strike while they’re weak!
Legion Varus is deployed to Jungle World, a vital planet deep in Rigellian territory. Our foes, fighting on two fronts, are driven back with ease. But one man questions the wisdom of this move. Should Earth expand with greed, aiding new monsters from the Galactic Rim? That lone voice of reason comes from James McGill.
Find out what happens next in Jungle World, the thrilling 19th book of the Undying Mercenaries series. With millions of copies sold, USA Today bestselling author B. V. Larson is the king of modern military science fiction.

Joyful entertainment
As always, a light hearted story that will amuse you and provide reliable entertainment.
As long as the quality stays like this, I could well listen to another 19.

American version of Crocodile Dundee
Always love how a country bumpkin can stumble through Galactic level politics, while being a maverick of unequal peer on the battlefield.

It looks to be writing itself into a corner…
Possibly the least enjoyable of the 19 books.
I really enjoy the books, listen to them and register whenever there is a gap in my reading/listening so I was pleased to find this latest release.
Unfortunately the structure of McGills universe is such that the impossibly superior galactics in their various hues require an impossibly superior foe. This is a spiral, that can only lead to detente or destruction.
Within the story arch the “dikatatorate” on the Earth has been revealing itself over much of the series and the IQ of our favourite soldier seems to be progressing into negative figures to match his feed, f***, fight Valhalla nirvana.
As a mirror of modern America it is interesting to watch the conspiracies creeping into this series. A series which is clearly a mythic reworking of Valhalla but which embodies machiavellian constructs but clearly constructed without much narrative or literary sophistication. The best stories grow with the comprehensions of the readership but I’m not seeing that expansion in this series of sage, but mostly very satisfying potboilers.
What I am seeing is less and less surprising nuance in the writing and a somewhat clumsy co structure of the plot. This isn’t a thought that came out of this single book but from the last 4-6 in the series. If Larson is going to write something to rival Foundation or even Dune then he probably ought to put in his big boy pants and stop being so safe in his writing, so formulaic and so unsophisticated.
I think that’s what this demographic of his readership would like but that’s not the point; his books are a critique of spoonfed, sanitised and belittling social conditions but I’m left seeing this latest book as an indication that he is part of the problem.
Performance by Mark Boyett was as satisfying as ever and I can’t help wondering how much of the success of the series is his narration rather than the writing….
Regardless, I enjoy these books, and will continue on to the end but I hope that the narrative rises to the challenge.
