Publisher Description
Discover Space Force, the number one Audible best-selling novel by New York Times best seller Jeremy Robinson, and ask yourself, "Who thought this was a good idea?"
Five years ago, the US Space Force became a reality. And while those writing the checks took things very seriously, the other military branches did not. As a result, Space Force was populated by undesirables: men and women who made too many mistakes, didn't follow the rules, or...slept with the wrong general's daughter. Three times. On camera. It was a mistake, okay?
My name is Captain Ethan Stone, a decorated member of SEAL Team Six turned Space Force "recruit". While the powers-that-be attempted to make Space Force an embarrassment, they also sent some of the very best minds, fighters, and pilots to the program, because sometimes the best of us decide to take a stand against those same powers. Yeah, yeah. Not me. Though I seem to recall I was standing when...sorry. It's a distracting memory.
Flash forward five years and between tenses. President West is in office. Power has shifted. And Space Force is defunded. With just a handful of us still living on base, we find ourselves being evicted. But before all of us can leave, aliens invade. Really ugly ones, too. Super nasty. I don't think I could describe them here without getting the audiobook banned.
Anywho, using their advanced technology, they seal off Space Force Command behind a shrinking force field and kick off a battle royale to the death. Human vs. alien. To the victors goes the Earth. While my boy Frank Taylor and I throw down inside the force field, my main squeeze, First Lieutenant Jennifer Hale, leads an international strike team into freakin' space. It's nuts. Crazy action. Super funny, too, in like a Deadpool way, if that's your thing.
The only way to really know what went down is to snag a copy of this audiobook and listen to it for yourself...before it's too late. Or wait for the movie. There is going to be a movie, right?

Great for 14 yr old gamer
Coming from hard Syfi like project Hail Mary and the bobiverse series, this book was tough to get through. In truth, I wouldn’t have bothered through half of it if I didn’t pay an absurd amount for the audiobook. It was like listening to a Micheal Bay movie based on a script by a 14 year old gamer. Over the top and predictable with zero basis in reality.
The audio is horribly done. They have a man and woman reading, but instead of having the man do all the man voices and a woman do all the woman voices, they just switch every other chapter depending on points of view. To me, that was just annoying.
All that being said, there were a few funny things that made it bearable. That’s the only reason I gave 2 stars instead of 1. If you’re a young gamer with no real life experience, you’ll probably love it.
