Scourge

Deadmen's War, Book 3

By: Anthony J. Melchiorri

Narrated by: Mark Boyett

The key to saving humanity—or dooming it—is in the hands of the enemy.

Veteran mech operator Sergeant Major Shaw spent his career fighting huge monsters known as Sentinels. He never expected that he would be piloting them.

But as a new war unfolds, Shaw finds himself and his team using this unorthodox technology in a desperate attempt to save the New World Republic from destruction. The Principality of the Seven Sons has control of an ancient Progenitor dreadnaught rumored to have the power to enslave and destroy empires. No one is safe.

Not even Shaw and his Deadmen.

The Principality has resurrected the worst of the Progenitor weapons, infecting entire planets with a bio-engineered disease called the Scourge. With the Scourge and the dreadnaught poised to destroy the NWR, the fate of mankind is dark.

There is only one hope for survival. One mission so dangerous, so impossible that only a single team is suited for it. The Deadmen.

Pacific Rim meets Starship Troopers in Scourge, the third book in the Deadmen’s War series.

The Deadmen's War series is now performed by Mark Boyett, narrator of the bestselling sci-fi series Undying Mercenaries.

great read, again!

I love this story and especially partial to the characters and their use (piloting) of the sentinels and the associated battles. I have always been a fan of this type of scifi. took a bit to adjust to a change in narrator but hoping the absolute best for Mr Bray as he deals with health issues and I appreciate Mr Boyett for continuing this series. Audible format suits me best (I do a lot of driving) so I'm very glad to be able to continue with this series!

Where’s R.C Bray??????

Fantastic story. Narrators voice is not right for this performance. His voice isn’t a consistent volume either and he doesn’t portray the moment right.
I specifically look for performances from R.C Bray and choose those listens over any others if possible. His reads are epically done!!

You changed the voice actor

I love RC’s voice. I can’t get into it anymore sorry but I don’t think I am the only one.

Narrator change

Like every change in narrator it took a bit to settle in but he did ok and the story was great.

RC ?????

Series is great but as the other person mentioned without RC on this one I’m having trouble getting into it. This narrator goes from quiet to full blown screaming the next. I’m constantly adjusting the volume. Also, his voice doesn’t bring the characters alive like RC. I can’t tell one person from the next without being told. Not the worst narrator I’ve heard but he’s definitely not right for this series. Would pay 3x the amount for an RC bray version…. Not sure if I’ll finish this one until then.
