Starfist: First to Fight

De: David Sherman, Dan Cragg

Narrado por: John Bedford Lloyd

Stranded in a hellish alien desert, stripped of their strategic systems, quick reaction force and supporting arms, and carrying only a day's water ration, Marine Staff Sergeant Charlie Bass and his seven-man team faced a grim future 75 light-years from home. The only thing between his Marines and safety was 85 miles of uncharted, waterless terrain and 2,000 bloodthirsty savages with state-of-the-art weapons in their hands and murder on their minds.

But the enemy didn't reckon on the warrior cunning of Marines' Marine Charlie Bass and the courage of a few good men who would follow him anywhere - even to death...

Awesome Series

STARFIST is one of those series of books that take hold of your interest and your imagination and make you yearn for more.
I only wish that there were alot more books to this series.
This is one of those storylines that would be so awesome to have a TV series and even some movies, as long as they portray the men correctly and stick to the storyline.
Don't mess it up like they did for "Jack Reacher".
Tom Cruise may be a good actor, but he is nowhere near like the Jack Reacher in the books.

Greatly Abridged

Abridged to the point it's missing about 75% of the book. This is a good series; recommend finding an unabridged version of the book.

ABRIDGED

An abridged version of this story is a travesty. All this book provided was the beginning, middle, and end. Almost no context is provided in a story that had significant character building that crosses the entire series.
It's so unsatisfying.

Enjoyable short story plot. F-bombs and sexual innuendo and crude language

Enjoyable short story plot. The are F-bombs and sexual innuendos and crude language. Not appropriate for children

Future Marines

Loved it! A great read by guys who know what its like to be a grunt.

I think this is a shortened version

I've read this book before and I believe there are many portions missing, it seemed like it to me at least.

Marines will lo the this story!

Both current and former military will find the story engaging! Even if you're not it, there are are enjoyable to bits to this story.

Any additional comments?

Loved reading this series as a kid. disappointed that 1. the books are heavily abridged and 2.There are missing books. Otherwise absolutely love the books and Mr. Lloyd was an excellent narrator.

abridged story

I was wondering why this was so short. This only has 4 chapter and it's only 2hours plus long.
I read the books and thought would be a good time killer as I've read the books 3 times. however this abridged version was not really worth the $2.00. disappointed.

Very good, but very short.

Very good story and great performance. However the book is very short. It is not worth spending a credit on. but worth the small pricetag.
