War Whore

A War's Edge Standalone

De: Ryan W. Aslesen

Narrado por: Roger Wayne

War Whore is a thrilling stand-alone novel in the War's Edge universe.

The most dangerous job in the galaxy...

In war, there is no second place. To ensure victory, planetary governments employ private armies to help fight their battles. And the Berserkers are the best. As the galaxy's preeminent mercenary force, they are hired by governments and corporations to do jobs that are too tough, too messy, or too deadly for their own forces. Expertly trained and equipped with the most advanced weaponry, they are willing to do whatever it takes to fulfill a contract - if the price is right.

Their job was to kill and get paid handsomely for it, but being a hired gun doesn't mean there isn't a code. For the Berserkers, that means taking care of their own. Captain Ron Axel finds that mantra tested to the limit when he must lead a daring mission to rescue a Berserker force trapped deep behind enemy lines on a bleak frontier world. With no margin for error, the Berserkers must fight to survive against an onslaught of hostile forces, and Axel must choose between accomplishing the mission or the survival of his men.

They stand to make the biggest payday in the galaxy...if they can live long enough to spend it.

Love it!

Great stand alone story. Can’t go wrong with it. Non stop action. Tanks. The horrors of war. And a perfect ending. Ready to listen to the next one!

Updated version of Hammer's Slammers

Updated version of David Drakes epic Hammer's Slammers with more techy weapons tech. Still hover tanks, plasma weapons, etc. Lots of gut wrenching, heart pounding combat that is generally well done. A relief column fighting through an enemy to relieve a surrounded enemy is not new but it is is well done here. The narrator does a good job with the frantic action. The MC is similar to one of Drakes main characters. My biggest gripe is the sub plot with the local arrogant Colonel. Just felt awkward and forced given the story, especially the "duels.". Also, while the tech was definitely advanced from today, it didn't seem advanced enough for a space faring human race. Just my opinion.....

Engaging

Ron is iron hard and lucky sob. Book is non stop thrill ride. Enjoyed listening.

Surprisingly realistic

It was definitely military sci-fi, but with a clear line back to todays equipment and tactics. Characters were realistic and the action was non-stop. I particularly enjoyed the drive to the FOP. Tactics mixed with action

Great Tactical Book

I loved the tactics and story of this book. I found the character development a bit lacking. The pace and action of this book will pull you in.

Great sci fi military novel

Very good action packed and well writen. the author is well versed in military knowledge and tactics. Really enjoyed it from beginning to end.

Updated Hammer’s Slammers

This was a visceral, well done update of Hammer’s Slammers without the court intrigue. Ryan Aslesen is a talented author who provides a fresh perspective of military science fiction.

Good story!

This reminds me of Hammer’s Slammers, though updated. I loved David Drake’s work, and you are a worthy successor. I wish you luck, you have gained a fan, Keep it up!

The PTSD

it was a good story about a officer who never quits and expects everyone fighting with him to never stop and to stay in the fight

Like fury, but in the future.

It's a great book set in the wars edge universe. this time following Axel whose part of a merc company named the BERSERKERZ. He's a man giving a job that's almost guaranteed to fail, and to hamper him more he gets stuck with a planetary forces commander thats egging him on in the worse ways. He makes sacrifices while trying to get the job done. all in all pretty dang good. I do wish it followed rizer but if all of these books will be new sub stories then I guess I can't wait to see what he does.
