Prison Planet

Green Zone War, Book 3

By: Jake Elwood

Narrated by: Johnathan McClain

Camp One has one brutal rule: If you attempt to escape, you die—and three random prisoners die with you.

Tom Thrush has resigned himself to dying by degrees, doing forced labor while he slowly starves. When he learns that a distant mesa holds a slim chance at freedom, he does nothing. The price of escape is too high.

Then fever sweeps through the camp. Surrounded by armed guards and an unforgiving jungle, paralyzed by the threat of reprisals, Tom watches as the men he’s sworn to protect die one by one. If anyone is to survive, Tom will have to do the unthinkable.

Escape.

Jack Aubrey with a dash of BSG

This series has been a lot of fun so far. Reminds me a lot of Patrick O’Brian’s Jack Aubrey books — following a young officer through his commands and adventures. With some Battlestar Galactoca thrown in. Way exceeding my expectations.

It was a bit of a slog at times but enjoyable

I had to really dig in to get through this part three of the series. The vague (or not vague) First Nations metaphor continued throughout but was less evident. A reader hungry for space opera action will start to to zone out a little on the dirt based parts. The deus ex machina was HEAVY on this one too. Overall still enjoyable but it was a left turn that left me a little unsatisfied.

So nice

It’s great to hear a great book series that dose not repeat the whole series in every book.

Prison drama in a space setting

(3.5 Stars)

This was very entertaining. The character development is getting better. The story was interesting and the narration was on point.

holy shit this is actually a good series

okay I normally don't write reviews, but I had to on this one. The storyline is really good. It develops really well and I'm excited to get the next book. So don't be an idiot and continue with the audio series.
