Retreat Hell

The Empire's Corps, Book 8

By: Christopher G. Nuttall

Narrated by: Jeffrey Kafer

After the disastrous mission to Lakshmibai, the very existence of the commonwealth is called into question by politicians on Avalon. But as the political firestorm mounts, a call for help arrives from Thule, a highly developed world facing a major insurgency in the wake of the empire's collapse. Reluctantly the commonwealth deploys the Commonwealth Expeditionary Force to Thule. But all is not as it seems. The insurgents are receiving support from off-world powers while, bare light years across the border, Wolfbane - another successor state to the vanished empire - is preparing for war - and an old enemy plots her revenge. As the countdown to war begins, the CEF finds itself sinking in a quagmire of bitter hatred. And nothing more than pawns in a very deadly game.

Awesome, a superior and wide series...

What about Jeffrey Kafer’s performance did you like?

Between this series and Frontiers Saga I can't help but feel contented whenever I hear Kafer's voice start up.

Great continued saga

I enjoy the characters and the story. Keep it coming the story is compelling and highly entertaining.

Another fine entry...

Excellent entry above par in the series. Strong compelling story with well developed characters makes you enjoy this chapter in the series. As always the author Brings his best to the story. A great performance by the narrator rounds out this great audio book. Bottom line you will not be surprised or disappointed.

Becoming repetitive.

It's a bummer. I like the series so far but it seems that by now he's just recycling scenes and descriptions. I haven't counted how often we get yet another description of pain and suffering and how powerless the current story teller feels about it. But it seems almost a constant thing.

We get it. Society is falling apart and everybody suffers and the brave Marine Corps soldiers feel powerless.

Can we stop repeating that every five minutes?

It should have been named Listening Hell

Any additional comments?

It took me months of listening on and off to finally drudge through this book. I really enjoyed all of the previous books, but this one was like listening to paint dry.
