To refresh my memory, I scrolled through the manuscript, taking far too long because I kept pausing the scroll to read scenes, chuckling to myself and thinking ‘that was cool, forgot I wrote that’. How can I choose one favorite bit, in a book filled with my favorite bits? Also, how can I write about a scene in a newly-published book, without giving away plot details? Finally, considering that I finished writing ‘Expeditionary Force Book12: Breakaway’ in the long-ago age of January 2021, and that I have written an entire book since then, do I even remember enough about individual scenes to choose a favorite from Breakaway?Īnswer: NO. When I was invited to write about My Favorite Bit, my first response was mild panic. And the Ethics & Compliance Office might have to do something…ethical. The infant UN Navy has their own mission with the Alien Legion: get humanity some allies in the fight. So, the Pirates are racing around the galaxy to clean up the threat to Earth. The aliens chose to do things the hard way. We won’t mess with them, if they don’t mess with us. The Merry Band of Pirates offered the bad guys a ceasefire. The point is: The audiobook is the ONLY acceptable way to experience this series.Craig Alanson is joining us today to talk about his novel, Breakaway, book 12 of Expeditionary Force.
that’s been waiting for a “stupid monkey” to do the bidding of it’s self-proclaimed godly whims. The million year old, smart-ass beer can of an A.I. I’m writing this review several months removed from reading it, and don’t remember any of them…īut Skippy… Skippy is awesome, and hilarious, and awesomely hilarious. This all too generic approach to the story bleeds into the characters themselves, leaving them rather bland and unmemorable. The All-American grunt’s story as they journey through a war they didn’t start, but feel obligated to fight 🇺🇸. A cardboard cutout of countless other interstellar war stories, with heavy Starship Troopers vibes. Oh yeah, I almost forgot there’s a story here. That unusual blend of raspy and nasally is somehow one of the most beautiful, easy to listen to voices ever. Every book he reads is elevated by his very presence.
Bray just had to be the best narrator in the business. It wasn’t supposed to matter if I missed half a chapter after falling asleep in the middle of it, because this wasn’t a book I intended on caring about.īut of course, R. White noise to fill the void while doing other things, or while I lay in bed waiting to fall asleep. This was supposed to be a background book.
