Fire and Forget

A War's Edge: Berserkers Standalone

When the long-standing territorial dispute on Silva-4 went hot, the Republic of Emeria hired the best mercenaries money could buy: the Berserkers.

Captain Brian Case leads a company of fresh recruits on a mission to deliver crucial supplies and equipment to an embattled Berserker battalion. Expecting to be disbanded upon arrival, he and his untested troops instead embark on a perilous raid deep behind enemy lines. Amidst a battlefield teeming with advanced weaponry and rival mercenary units, Case is thrust into a brutal war that devours both men and machines. The planet's wealth and natural resources also attract a different kind of adversary—arms dealers exploiting both sides for profit.

Driven to avenge the deaths of his soldiers, Case joins forces with Julia Wilde, the captivating niece of Emeria's governor-general. Together, they navigate a treacherous trail of blood and betrayal, leading to the highest echelons of power on Silva. From war-torn landscapes to Emeria's opulent capital, Case must unravel a web of deceit to uncover the true motives behind the conflict. Armed with intelligence that could alter the course of the war, he must decide what is truly worth fighting for.

good book but the reading was ruinous.

I disliked the narration. monotone drone read too fast. the reading ruins the book. loved the series to this point but can not listen any longer as I am unable to focus on the monotone verbal sprinting.
