Expeditionary Force, Book 19

By: Craig Alanson

Narrated by: R.C. Bray

The mission to destroy the enemy Gateway was literally a smashing success.

Except the Pirates were too late, and now not one but two of the enemy are loose in the galaxy. And they are equipped with starships more powerful than Valkyrie. A direct fight would be hopeless, so the Pirates must rely on wacky ideas from the mushy brain of a monkey—and some serious sketchiness.

The Expeditionary Force saga continues in book 19 from epic sci-fi writer Craig Alanson and narrated by none other than R.C. Bray.

Skippy!

If you’re here for book 19, you already love the story! Well written, excellent reader.

I want more

I was pleasantly surprised. Some books in the series were little slow but this one had a good pace, something happening all the time, till the end. I thought that this would be the last book in the series but the end just asks for at least one more. Can’t wait for the next book. There is something very special in these books, one just wants to continue reading/listening.
R.C.Bray is brilliant as always.

Alot was jampacked

I’m surprised how much was recalled and expanded upon in this one. You can say that about every entry, but it really stood out this time, almost everything that has been built upon was used in this entry……..oh spoilers/predictions for the next book as follows: I’m thinking that it’s *improbable* for the universe to return to normal, so Skippy will have to hack the impossible.

19 books later and still hooked

If you’re listening to these books, you know how good the series is. Yes, the story gets to be a little bit redundant here and there, but just the performance in the audiobook and the story makes me want to read these books every time a new one comes out and I have never been disappointed. Can’t wait for the next one.

Great story

There were quite a few audio glitches that almost sounded like some AI was being used for Skippy’s voice.
