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.
You can purchase Breakaway at the following links below.
Cat gives this Audiobook 4 Meows for the story, 5 Meows for the performance; 5 Meows overall!
This is a book 12 but I was able to enjoy the story even though I have not read or listened to any of the other books.
This is a SyFy type of book, which normally isn’t my cup of tea, but this was so unique and just loads of fun, so I quite enjoyed it. The characters are quirky and silly and fun. You have Intergalactic monkeys with the help of an artificial intelligence in the form of a magic beer can set to save the world from killer Kitties and scary spiders. No the book isn’t stupid or overly silly. It’s quite entertaining and there is lots of drama and squirmishes.
The reason I gave this overall 5 was the narration took it over the top. The voicing was great, the pacing good, the acting amazing. If you like SyFy I say check out this series or just the book. If your not sure just give it a go. I did and I loved it.
