The Vastalimi Gambit

Cutter's Wars, Book 2

By: Steve Perry

Narrated by: R.C. Bray

At the close of the 24th century, a series of revolutions has caused the galaxy to descend into chaos. With the Galactic Union Army stretched thin, mercenary units have arisen for those who have the need - and the means - to hire them.

Kay, the alien member of the Cutter Force Initiative, has returned to her brutal home world of Vast on a mission of mercy. Before she joined the merc team, she was a great healer. And now her skills are sorely needed. Hundreds of Vastalimi - including her blood-kin - are mysteriously dying. But is the plague a work of nature? Or is it a bioengineered virus, purposefully unleashed? Kay and Doc Wink will have to find out the hard way.

With the Cutter Force light-years away, the two find the odds against them - and on a planet like Vast, where violence abounds and life is cheap, they may be facing a foe they can't defeat.

Alien Worlds

I enjoyed The Vastalimi Gambit. Describing an advanced non humanoid race is hard. Taking your readers to the home world of an alien race is harder. Steve Perry did both of these things with ease.
How do you act when going to an alien planet? Hopefully like Wick you have someone to guide you. Kay is called home to help with a virulent sickness that seems to have no cause and no link between patients.
While the rest of the team is fighting a war they are fighting time.

Great book

The writer is so funny and bray brings it to life, as usual. The dialogue between the 2 vastalimi about the one rale was so hilarious that I kept rewinding over and over again. Love RC BRAY and this book!!!

Stellar performance and clever banter

Fun and interesting twists and turns. Loved the story and character development of Kay and her Vastalimi people. Complex and entertaining plot with RC Bray slaying the narration, as usual.

MUCH better!

The start of this series was rather difficult to get through. I stuck with it, because of my love for RC Bray's work. It really took about half of book 1, before the characters took on any meaning. Now that the character development is out of the way, the series is fantastic.
Mr. Perry needs to work on making his world building a little more interesting, but now that the world is built, I can't wait for more of this series.

good galactic military brotherhood read

I admit it I enjoyed the heck out of it i enjoyed the narrator's voices & accents
