Summary

Four complete books of explosive, military sci-fi action complete the entire first arc of the best-selling Drop Trooper series.

Go to war or go to jail. For small-time street hustler Cam Alvarez, the choice is simple....

He has no family, no friends, no place in the world...nothing to lose. When his latest con results in the death of a cartel hit man, Cam opts to join the Marines and leave Earth to fight a vicious alien enemy.

Drafted into the Marine Drop-Troopers, Cam discovers there’s one thing he’s even better at than running street-con games, and that’s killing the enemy. Wrapped in an armored battlesuit, Cam finds purpose amid the horror and destruction of the war, and the opportunity for a new sort of friends and family...if he can break the habits of a life spent alone, trusting no one.

And if he can survive....

Buy this special edition omnibus to experience a thrilling and unpredictable military sci-fi adventure! It's perfect for fans of JN Chaney, Jay Allan, and Joshua Dalzelle.

Books included in the set:

  • Book 1: Contact Front
  • Book 2: Kinetic Strike
  • Book 3: Danger Close
  • Book 4: Direct Fire

Great series, thoroughly enjoyed

Well written and wonderfully read, really easy to get invested in the main character and many of the secondary characters. I don’t think there was a dull moment across the entire 4 book set. This is for sure a series I’ll return to in the future.

I am a sci Fi convert thanks to Rick partlow

This is my second series of Rick Partlow novels and I find the stories very easy to listen to (narrator is great). The stories keep you captivated and the future he describes sounds believable so I didn’t find it too ridiculous. I will read others by him.

Easy to finish and a good narrator brings the characters to life. Worth a listen for a credit.

Well worth a listen

I really enjoyed this story. Very well written and very well narrated.
I look forward to listening to some other stories by this author and hopefully with same narrator.

“The only easy day was yesterday. The only good time was last time”

A great military sci-fi book. Tons of action, all really well done and hard fought. Great stories, made even better by them all being in 1 book (only 1 credit!) and they all link really well together.
Great narration too with good pacing and character voices.
Would definitely listen to anything by author or narrator again!
This is my honest opinion on a free review copy.

Incredible!

This series is absolutely amazing, I had a spare credit to use and figured, hey I love Starship Troopers, Mechs, and military sci-fi, so Ill give this series a go.... Im so incredibly thankful that l did, I havent been able to stop listening! Ive ordered follow on books in the series and can't wait to listen to them. If you are sitting on the fence, don't, you will not be disappointed!

Worth The Time

Coming from a military background, some of the issues that Cam faced were very familiar. Enjoyable story with sone unseen twists but “that’s life in the military”!
Good performance by the reader too.

Great series!

Really enjoyed this series! Great characters, great story - well narrated. Just wish so many of the important characters didn't keep getting killed!

Decent space opera

Light hearted and easy listening. I believe good value with 4 books combined but I don’t wish to continue this series and use a purchase per book (only 7hours)
