Mech Wars: The Complete Series

By: Scott Bartlett

Narrated by: Mark Boyett

Humanity is tired of losing. Enter the mech.

Jake Price has always dreamed of joining the Darkstream military like his father before him. When he’s told his gaming scores are good enough to qualify him for a brand-new training program designed to find recruits talented enough to pilot humanity’s first mechs, he can hardly believe it.

He’s right to be doubtful. There are hundreds of other recruits competing for the same eight jobs, and they’re all as skilled as he is. Worse, the training instructor is an unhinged chief with a particular dislike for Jake.

But Jake refuses to give up, refuses to wash out, because humanity is facing its greatest threat yet. If someone doesn’t step up, it could all be over for the human species.

Contains the complete series:

• Powered
• Dynamo
• Meltdown
• Infliction

I would pass

really hard to get in the story really nothing special about it just and it's not the complete set

very great deviation of storage

a great book very interesting storyline challenging to keep on going with the way things worked out look forward to the next ones in the series

It’s Mechs. What more do you want?

I loved this series. Lots of action and a well put together story. Highly recommendable.

Pretty good but got a bit long in the tooth

I couch this review with the fact that I finished the entire main story first so, perhaps if I had jumped over to the mech wars at the right time (somewhere in the middle of the main story) it would have been a better experience. As it is though, I just thought the series as a whole was fine but the Quatro seemed a bit 2 dimensional actually most characters just seemed to lack some of the depth I felt we got from the main series.

Predictable but still fun

it was fun to read but kind of predictable as it moved along. I ended up getting into this series after I started the legacy series

Unsatisfying ending

I listened to all 4 books. The expectation was that this was the entire story. However, the ending had way too many details that were not resolved. I fully realize that this technique sets up future books. However, this can be done in a way that resolved the plot details more fully.

Helped me to better understand the Ixan Universe!

Mark Boyett is outstanding as the narrator with a multitude of voices and I loved how this series of books helped me understand the characters and subplots in the Ixan Universe better.

Another great book

Like the Ixan prophecies series this is a great collection of books! It bridges the gap between the Ixan prophecies and legacy.

Terrific, but the ending is not in the set.

I like Scott Bartlett's writing and Mark Boyett is one of those great narrators. This is a full throttle action story with good characterization from Bartlett and Boyett. I find the loyalties of the humans for the Darkside Corp interesting especially since there were too many who bought into their bull. Choose the shady Corp or friendships, that should have been an easy decision. Big gripe, the boxed set isn't the the completed story! Now I have to go find it; hope I have enough credits, and there is an ending.

great story

well Road and story with plenty of conflict and resolution to keep anybody entertained. highly recommend the series.
