Drop Trooper, Book 8

By: Rick Partlow

Narrated by: James Patrick Cronin

It's the final showdown between Cam and a rogue Tahni general.... And it might be the end of everything.

Cam and Vicky are chasing down Zan-Thint to his last fortress, a lifeless world deep in Tahni space. If they can't take him down before he activates an ancient alien weapon, a swarm of biomechanical killing machines will wipe out all life in the Commonwealth.

But devastating his enemies is only half of Zan-Thint's plan. He doesn't do anything without an escape route.

And this one will take him—and Cam Alvarez—clear out of the galaxy.

Book 8 in the Amazon best-selling Drop Trooper series by Rick Partlow is here. It's Military Sci-Fi the way it's supposed to be!

Goood but

I do kind of hate that both Fargo and wade got the axe in this book. I wanted more to happen with their characters

Totally facilitated by the story and characters!

I’ve enthralled since the first book, by the characters, action and overall story. I can’t put the phone down, everyone is always asking what I’m listening to.

Book 9?? Ξ8-ь

Well, I was hoping good ole Fargo was going to make it through and become one of the inner circle. Too many deaths. Killing her off was my only major disappointment. I had a daydream that her eternal bubbly personality and lack of fear would later be explained. I envisioned her trying to save Cam or Vicky and being injured severely. Only then would we all come to the realization that she was an advanced AI Android. MAN! That would’ve been awesome. This entire series has given me weeks and weeks of entertainment. A lot of what you’ve written paralleled my own military career. Being able to identify with your apt descriptives on Cam’s emotional state during high stress situations drew me into this world you’ve created all the way. It’s bitter sweet ending this story. But you’ve managed to break the “bad ending” curse many Sci-fi stories are plagued by. I’ve read it is because most authors care so much about the worlds they create that it’s impossible for them to figure out a good end point. I like how you’re not saying farewell, but more “until next time we meet”. A tradition among so many service members.
I hope to find out there is more you can tell. I hope to find out your other series are in the same universe-ish as this story line. I hope to be able to read about Captain Covington’s & Tops backstory, all the way up until the Captain sacrifices himself under the dome. I think overlaps are so interesting. When you see or read about a story that you’ve ALREADY heard or read, but this time it’s being told by another member’s perspective…well, that’s just awesome in my book.
Well done Mr. Partlow, and Thank You for raking me on your journey.
Respectfully,
Chief Petty Officer, Bryan K
“remember the fallen, that we take our next step for them”

Definitely a hit!

Good job guys, you knocked this one out the park. Totally loved everything about this book. Narration was on point.

Good Stuff

Yea we lost some interesting characters but I’m sure we will not be disappointed in future books!!

Love this series!

This series is awesome overall, but in this book, they have successfully transitioned from the traditional war story that would have ended the series, to a new storyline, that successfully kept me glued.

Blew me away!!

This book was my favorite of the series so far! Really shook things up and made me think “damn, now what?” Great stuff
