About this listen
They call it The Green Hell. A maze of tangled jungle, the planet Makaum is one of the most dangerous places in the universe. And for Terran Military Master Sergeant Frank Sage, it is now home.The war between the Terrans and the Phrenorians rages, and both sides have their sights set on Makaum. If the planet's rich resources fall into enemy hands, it could mean devastation for the Terran army. To ensure that doesn't happen, Sage is sent to assess the Makaum troops and bring them in line with Terran military standards.
But soon after arriving at his post, he realizes that the Phrenorians are not the only threat. Heading up a small but fearless unit, Sage must stop a brewing civil war with the power to unleash a galactic cataclysm unlike anything ever seen.

My name is Kazimir Wolfe. People call me "Kaz", except they don’t. I never use my real name; it’s too dangerous, for me and for anyone I meet. I’m on the run from the law, who think I killed my aunt, and from whoever did kill her, because they want to finish the job. So, I move around a lot, working construction or whatever job I can find. It’s a lonely life. I don’t let anyone get close...people who get close to me end up dead. Why? I’m a wizard. The world’s only wizard, as far as I know.

After dying and being reborn into a world that's built like a video game, Jim has found himself stuck in a very old-world style new-player zone for low-level adventurers. Unfortunately, the zone fell out of use centuries ago, and no one told the monsters they were supposed to take it easy on the Noobs. Even worse, the only new player around is Jim. Jim has been given an opportunity, and he'll do his best to take advantage of it.

In the 20th century Earth sent probes, transmissions, and welcoming messages to the stars. Unfortunately, someone noticed. The Galactics arrived with their battle fleet in 2052. Rather than being exterminated under a barrage of hell-burners, Earth joined their vast Empire. Swearing allegiance to our distant alien overlords wasn't the only requirement for survival. We also had to have something of value to trade, something that neighboring planets would pay their hard-earned credits to buy. As most of the local worlds were too civilized to have a proper army, the only valuable service Earth could provide came in the form of soldiers....

Predator ships stream into human space in unprecedented numbers. The Colonial Marines, controlled by Weyland-Yutani, respond to the incursion, thus entering the Rage War. This terrifying assault by the Yautja cannot go unchallenged, yet the cost of combat is high. Predators are master combatants, and each encounter yields a high body count. Then, when Lt. Johnny Mains and his marines - the VoidLarks - enter the fray, they discover an enemy deadlier than any could imagine.

Neal Asher takes on first contact, Polity style. This original novel recounts the first contact between the aggressive Prador aliens, and the Polity Collective as it is forced to retool its society to a war footing. The overwhelming brute force of the Prador dreadnaughts causes several worlds and space stations to be overrun. Prador Moon follows the initial Polity defeats, to the first draws, and culminates in what might be the first Polity victory, told from the point of view of two unlikely heroes.

They’re known as the Host: a cabal of aliens seeking to dominate our sector of space. And they’re back - with help from a powerful new enemy. We’re outnumbered and unprepared. But there is hope. An ancient race of long-dead but technologically advanced aliens called the Navigators have a ship called the Blackstar that could potentially turn the tide. That is if I, Kai Locke, a humble ship racer, can find it and learn how to harness its power in time.

What slow start?
I try to be logical about how I spend my credits on book purchases and part of it is reading the reviews. An Amazon review read that " Master Seargeant started out slow but quickly picked up." When I finished the book, my first thought was "where was it slow?!" Mel Odom has delivered a blood 'nguts epic that isn't complete augumation or battle by button! Its an old fashioned, in the trenches, use your head and Strategize to win war! I loved every minute of it and narrator Todd McLaren was so superb in his rendition, I never noticed the passing of time. He is certainly one of the best,
Interesting, diverse characters in nonstop action playing out a well thought out plot. What more can be asked? Buy the book! I'm buying the second in the series right now!

Liked the characters
I’m not loving the narrator. The story was good enough for me to get past that.

Very good book
Great storyline. I enjoyed the story about a guy who works hard kind of like a unmasked Batman lol.

Very Good Military SciFi
The writing and tempo was mostly excellent and the narrated performance was superb, as I've come to expect from Todd McLaren. However, there was some areas where the tempo slowed while the author provided backstory to the planet's human civilian inhabitants and their matriarchal tribal society.
Overall, I found the novel interesting and entertaining and look forward to listening to the next book in the series.

Not really very good
It's science fiction with poor science and poor fiction. Narration is mediocre at best. The main character is a sort of GI Joe, Batman, Sergeant York character that is so ingenious and so tactically superior that he manages to start a civil war AND give the real enemy a tremendous boost in their conquest plans for a planet 😳. The GOOD news is that I finished the book.

After the first 24 minutes..
I decided that it was unbelievably bad, and I returned it. I would not waste my time on this one.
