Dark Operator

Galaxy's Edge: Dark Operator, Book 1

De: Doc Spears, Jason Anspach, Nick Cole

Narrado por: Stephen Dexter

Legion Dark Ops has always been a unit shrouded in secrecy. Tasked with performing covert missions, its kill teams are filled with the best warriors from within the ranks of the Legion.

Kel Turner is one of the youngest legionnaires ever to be selected to its ranks. After many battles and trials, he is faced with the greatest challenge of his life - operating by himself on a remote planet at the galaxy's edge, a foot soldier for the policies of the duplicitous House of Reason, tasked with solving a crisis that would take ten kill teams to resolve.

Diplomats, spies, shadowy terrorist groups, and an enigmatic general work with and against Kel as he fights to save a society from itself. What can one operator do alone, separated from his kill team, fighting a war that has no name?

This lone operator doesn't know what it will take to win. He only knows he's not going to lose.

Great book by veterans

Awesome book with enough detail to see through the window into military life through the science fiction genre. I’ve enjoyed all the of the galaxy’s edge series and branch series, every book has been well thought out and somewhat realistic. It’s good to see veterans producing an amazing series while not romanticizing the realties of operations too much. I recommend this series to anyone who likes military fiction veteran or not.

KTF

If you like the legion you'll love DO. Could not stop listening to this book.

Not RC Bray

The story is good and the performance is as well. The narrator’s cadence is sometimes off putting if you’re used the the magnificence of RC Bray.

Retrospective review! Oops :p

Doc Spears' debut in the GE universe is nothing short of Epic! Absolutley loved it! So much that I'm reviewing it after listening to it for the 2nd time! I must have gotten busy and forgot to review the first time I completed it. If you already like Galaxy's Edge, or military scifi in general, you're going to love Doc's entire DO series.

Super Interesting

Great perspective of a single secret spook. Nice change from the series norm without being way out in left field. The narrator should have listened to other books in the series or at least talked to the series creators how to pronounce Zhee. Hearing him mispronounce a people group featured so prominently throughout this book and the series was painful to hear, otherwise the narrator did an exceptional job with so many different voices.

Nice addition to the galaxy

This was an interesting story that blends galaxy’s edge and a new angle on the proceedings in other books. The narrator did a nice job with different characters. I recommend it!

Authenticity at the very heart of the story

I love reading authors with a background that can feed into the subject from personal experience and this book draws heavily from that real world experience.

Tolkien and Lewis drew from their experiences in both World Wars, Haldeman served in Vietnam, and Carr spent an entire career in the GWOT.

Military SciFi is not about accurate and plausible small unit tactics, technical gear descriptions, or assaults out of starships, just like fantasy isn’t really about swords, magic, and dragons. Somehow they are both at their core about the heart of man and the state of humanity.

This book specifically is about the heart of a warrior, a heart that remains steadfast regardless of service, country... and galaxy.

The narrator is new to the series and adds a great voice to the story. Engaging and flexible, his range adds depth to each character.

Check it out and get hooked. Circle back around to the original series when you get the chance too and you won’t be disappointed!

Wow
