Summary
"An action-packed story that gets inside the hearts, minds, and souls of men and women who have dedicated themselves to the protection of all the rest of us...a tour de force." (David Weber, New York Times best-selling author of the Honor Harrington Series)
When their mission fails, his begins.
Special Agent Jackson Fischer is a man after truth. When a military operation to extract a high-ranking ambassador from the war-torn, border-world of Stonemeyer ends in disaster, Fischer is called in to investigate.
A whole platoon went in, but only three Alliance Marines returned home, the rest killed in action along with hundreds of civilians. With tensions between the Holloman Alliance and Stonemeyer rising, Fischer attempts to stitch the pieces together. One thing becomes more and more certain: The surviving Marines are lying.
As the truth unfurls, Fischer begins to realize this was far more than a simple rescue mission...and that the truth might be something best left buried.
Filled with action, mystery, and well-crafted characters, Edge of Valor will pull you into a world of war, conspiracy, and betrayal. It's perfect for fans of David Weber’s Honorverse, or Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan with a futuristic flair.
Critic reviews
"Edge of Valor teleports you to the battlefield in a way that few books can. Josh Hayes is a fantastic new voice in the genre." (Nicholas Sansbury Smith, New York Times best-selling author of Hell Divers)
"Josh Hayes writes with a kinetic, exuberant sense of action and excitement. Edge of Valor will captivate readers of military science fiction with its authentic attention to detail and energetic pace." (Jason Anspach, author of Galaxy's Edge)
"A smart, bold story that successfully meshes the unpredictability of a police procedural with the excitement of action-driven military sci-fi. It's a book you won't want to end." (Joshua Dalzelle, USA Today best-selling author of the Black Fleet Saga)

Great Military Sci-fi/detective cross over
I enjoyed listening to this book as it crossed over the genres with the detective and his team investigating a botched off planet rescue. The story was written with each character retelling their story in live action, which at first I wasn't sure about. But as the story continued, it became a natural flow. Fisher investigating, asking questions and the characters reliving their actions and part in the overall story. So overall a great story.

Bland cheese
Drawing inspiration from movies like ‘Basic’, ‘Crimson Tide’ and ‘A Few Good Men’, no cliché is left behind. Expect phrases like “I’m shutting you down” and “God damn it; good marines are dead!” Edge of Valor is full of two-dimensional characters and a somewhat tired plot formula but the action scenes are visceral, gritty and cinematic; carrying an air of authenticity often absent in science fiction.
Marc Vietor’s narration is solid throughout but was unable to breathe life into the characters. Ultimately, I found myself unable to become emotionally invested in the protagonists and cared very little for the plot. As good as the action scenes were, they weren’t enough to make up for the book’s other shortcomings.
