The Ramal Extraction

Cutter’s Wars, Book 1

By: Steve Perry

Narrated by: R.C. Bray

At the close of the 24th century, a series of revolutions has caused the galaxy to descend into chaos. With the Galactic Union’s army stretched thin, mercenary units have arisen for those who have the need - and the means - to hire them.

Captained by former Detached Guerrilla Forces Colonel R. A. "Rags" Cutter, the Cutter Force Initiative is one of the best. A specialized team consisting of both aliens and humans, the Cutters offer services ranging from combat training and protection to extraction and assassination - as long as the target deserves it and their employer makes good on payday.

When they're hired to find and rescue Indira, the soon-to-be-married daughter of Rajah Ramal of New Mumbai, the team's first task is to identify the kidnapper. The obvious suspects are insurgents who want to overthrow the rajahnate, but as other forces enter the game and an assassination attempt is made on Ramal, the Cutters realize that their in-and-out extraction job is about to get a lot more interesting - and a lot more lethal.

Critic reviews

"A razor-sharp novel by a master of military science fiction." (William C. Deitz, New York Times best-selling author)

"Perry excels at hard-boiled writing, flashing dialog, and stripped-down action." ( Oregonian)

Very Good Military SciFi.

like all good yarns this one is twisted and complex. Though I had suspicions how it would end it was still twisted, really a fun listen. so on to book two.

GOOD START TO THE SERIES

This book was a good start to the three book series Cutter's Wars. It had good charter devolvement and the story line was interesting. kinda follows the same path as other books that deal with a special pop's team of shoulders doing freelance work. As with all the books he narrates R.C Bray was a pleasure to listen to. I do recommend this book if you are a space military junkie like me. GOD Bless.

The Lies We Weave

Hired to find the Daughter of a Raja. Taken around in circles that are ever tightening only to find out that..... Nevermind that would spoil the whole story. This group of "Mercenaries" is closer than family. Definetly a must listen. R.C. Bray brings this tale to life.

Steve Perry always delivers.

I've long been a fan of Steve Perry. He writes great action scenes and flashy dialog. The first chapter in a new saga that promises great entertainment.

Fantastic book, get over the pro nouns folks

The books series is really well written and alot of fun, if you have a problem with pro nouns get over it, The whole pro nouns thing applies to two aliens in the book series , if you can't get past the fact that they are not even human an are so hung up on the pro nouns then your honestly missing out on a really fun series .

HOSTAGE RECOVERY-ACTION DETECTIVE

Easy going action detective story with great narration.

If you want something simple without lots of baggage and mind wobbling details, this is definitely for you.
And despite it's simplicity the story is very good.

Decent

Characters. Did not follow plot to well but seemed pretty good. Will listen to the rest of the series!

Good start

Enjoyed this book. Good read. Liked tge characters & thei level of detail in their backstories . Interesting aliens.
Excellent narration. Listened to almost straight through.
Would get the next book in this series.

Enjoyable

Not a bad little story. I liked Musashi Flex, so gave this a try. His books are pretty good. Not too over the top gory, no gratuitous sex, more story and thinking. BUT that doesn’t mean there is no action. Not deep character development but enough to interest the reader. And Rc Bray is always good to listen too.

Great story and RC Bray just makes it better!!!

Enjoyed the story and going to check out next book.R.C. Bray seems to make any story good!!!
