Lucky's Marines Box Set

A Military Sci-fi Series

De: Joshua James

Narrado por: Mark Boyett

Get this 32-hour box set of pure kickass military sci-fi - a thrill ride combining space opera and first contact!

Terminal Lance Lucky Lee Savage likes his life. Sure, doing PT hungover is a pain, but no one can dodge responsibility like he can - or sweet-talk the cooks into giving out double rations.

But when Lucky’s ambushed behind enemy lines and left for dead, along with a handful of privates so boot they actually respect his authority, he has to step up, manage the ambitions of his foul-mouthed AI, and figure out what’s tearing a hole in the fabric of space-time before everything goes haywire.

Lucky wouldn’t bet on the universe. One thing he will bet on: Somewhere, somehow, somebody is going to pay for all this. And he is going to be right there to pull the trigger.

If you like Aliens and Firefly, you'll love this funny, gritty, and endlessly entertaining series!

Books included in this box set:

• Lucky Universe
• Lucky Legacy
• Lucky Empire
• Lucky Forever
• Lucky Invasion

Not again

I got tired of them tripping over themselves on the way to save the universe

Good story

If you like Marine battle stories, if it a try. Good syfi war story you get in to character.

Fun ride

Start to finish it’s gets rolling and doesn’t stop.
Lucky is the least likely hero and leader. And the audio performance was amazing

Was not overly impressed by the story, did not keep my attention

I listen to many SyFy stories, and this one was not as captivating as most. The narration was good, but the storyline was not all that compelling.

Fun, Full Throttle Action

This imaginative, futuristic military science fiction thriller series written by Joshua James is filled with virtually non-stop action. There is graphic violence, graphic language and gallows humor - ubiquitous Marine culture. The story is clever and brilliantly delivered with plenty of plot twists, betrayals, ulterior motives and snark. Each character is well crafted with their own unique complex personality. The main character, Lucky, is a bio-engineered Space Marine with an implanted female AI named Rocky, with advanced tactics, nanobots to provide enhanced healing and specialized cutting-edge tech and combat gear to improve his chances of survival. I especially enjoyed the evolving relationship and conversations between Lucky and Rocky. Rocky is a flawed, reluctant hero troubled with intriguing lost memories, nightmares, and unique insights. No spoilers. The narration by Mark Boyett was outstandingly entertaining and provided me with hours of listening pleasure. I was provided a free review copy of this audiobook and am voluntarily leaving this review.

Good space opera

Lots of fun; Space opera is alive and well! The narration is excellent, and the story above average...enjoy!

Awesome deal!

If you like Mark reading about advanced technology and badass weapons in the hands of Marines then this is for you.

Not immersive but finish-able

The story is interesting but somehow, it never pulls you in. I listen to a lot of titles and I am spoiled I suppose. This series never really grabs your imagination to take you somewhere. The military part of the Scifi doesn't seem to be written by someone with military experience. The author was careful not to date his work with any current tech memes but that kinda hurts it too in some ways. The Science part of the Scifi is vague and a little silly. Worth buying but not likely to be enjoyed again for years.

Couldn't stop listening

Man I really enjoyed this box set. I'm a truck driver and boy this had me hooked. Great action, story and characters I need more.

great book series, excellent narration

I would definitely recommend this book series to anyone who enjoys military fiction. Each book is a little small and if I could ask for anything it would be to combine or lengthen the books. Mark Boyett provides a very emotional narration that I believe is worth the money for the box set.
