I love the rescued people

I love that the Mercenaries rescued so many, no matter what species they were. The only real problem with the story was the Virtual voice, it has no emotions.

A bit predictable but overall good storyline.

The story itself is good however I wish that the battle scenes were a little more developed and elaborated on. The virtual voice is sometimes off putting as it's inflections are not always appropriate for the storyline. Speaking of which there are a few areas of dialog that is a bit trite at times. In general though the storyline is interesting if a bit predictable. I did enjoy it overall but I think that with a real actor in place of the virtual voice it would have been better.

Narration is terrible.

I'm sorry to say, I couldn't finish listening to the entire audiobook set. The narration is so robotic and monotone that I just couldn't handle it. There was zero personality for any of the characters. You need a narrator that can make books "come alive". I think I would have enjoyed these books more if I had either read them myself. Or if they had used a skilled male and female co-narration.
