Undead Marine

By: J.N. Chaney, Jonathan P. Brazee

Narrated by: Roger Wayne

From Book 1: Killed in action. Reborn on the battlefield.

Sergeant Paxton Alejo is a League of Humanity Marine Commando, the best of the best. After getting sent to oversee a batch of fresh conscripts, Pax makes the fateful decision to sacrifice his life to save his subordinates. He is posthumously awarded the Cross of Honor, the highest military medal . . .

. . . except that the Marine Corps isn’t done with him.

Using highly classified, experimental technology, his deceased body is transported to a top secret facility and infected with a genetically modified mycelium that can imprint on his brain, creating a biological download, ultimately preserving most of his memories and combat skills.

Despite being labeled legally dead, he wakes and feels alive.

He has no rights. He is no longer a citizen. Instead, he’s government property, part of a clandestine unit made up of the finest spec ops Marines, soldiers, and sailors, each one deceased. . .

. . . and all with capabilities too valuable to lose.

The military’s new goal is to create the finest combat force ever conceived, capable of bringing back the best of the best, no longer bound or constrained by death itself.

With enemies on the battlefield and at home, and with no real rights to his name, Pax and his fellows will struggle to survive in a universe built only for the living.

Great sci-fi, Top notch reader

Good actio sequences, and an interesting story that is well performed audio by Roger Wayne.

Great story

Really enjoy the details in this story. Some of the military explanations are truly interesting. Not sure the narrator brings this story to life as much as he should.

Solid military sci-fi with interesting concept

All around an enjoyable story about a new military program to reanimate dead spec ops warriors to curb the accelerating losses of well-trained fighters during a long and costly war. I like the concept, and the execution comes without complaints. However, beyond the reanimation there weren't any other hooks or twists to the story to make it exceptional.

Beginning of More Great SIFI

I enjoyed this book.. Good Characters and concepts. Excellent performance . I would recommend the series.. I just finished this book and immediately turned on book 2... Keep up the good story telling

Really good

This is one of those books that is a very good story but also has a great deal of action and so am very much looking forward to the next book in the series

Finally - Zombies who are not Intent on Eating You

I’m a fan of Mr. Chaney for the most part, and I think he certainly let provided some mighty fine entertainment in this series, as book 2 is downloading. I apologize to the other author, I can’t recall your name but that’s because my mycelia and frontal cortex have been damaged. ;-). Also to the narrator - you did an amazing job and I’ll look for your other work. Not that you’ll see this, but hopefully you’ll get paid.

How they are using slave soldiers

Interesting thought on how they are treating their soldiers as slaves, they don’t have rights at all not even treating them as “ humans” . Just a continued history of the soldiers treated as slaves. They are treated only as chess pieces by leadership!

Space Opera meets the Undead

I loved this series! It's a refreshing twist to your typical undead zombies and alien vs military scene. Don't get me wrong, I'm all about the flesh eating, apocalyptic story line! But don't turn away from this series if that's also your gig because this one was really fun!

zombies

Whats not to like about undead SF vs centipede creatures. deffinately kept you going from start to finish.

Characters were awesome!!

The Boys have delivered once again! These are some of my all time favorite authors. Loved the concept. Reminded me of Universal Soldier but with a twist!! Can’t wait for book 2!
