Story
A Tortantula and a Flatar. The most enigmatic teaming in the mercenary guild, it’s also a perfect pairing, where one’s strengths cover the other’s weakness. Raised together from birth, their lives are a brutal series of tests. Azah isn’t like most other female Tortantula; she’s much smaller and made fun of. No one expects her to survive, much less succeed, but she’s still given a chance and assigned a Flatar: Sadek. The two quickly bond and find they complement each other. Against all odds, they survive the breeding dome and join the ranks of their races’ mercenaries.

"Rags" Cutter, the Cutter Force Initiative is one of the best. A specialized team consisting of both aliens and humans, the Cutters offer services ranging from combat training and protection to extraction and assassination - as long as the target deserves it and their employer makes good on payday.

Human slavers attack. Despite trying to fight back, there is nothing the young Leefe can do to save his family and friends. But he doesn't have to. The Imperial Marines arrive in the nick of time, and they hate slavers. Three tri-years later, when the new emperor issues a proclamation to integrate the imperial military with non-human citizens, Leefe is among the first to volunteer. Integration to resurrect the empire as a force for good is challenged by centuries of prejudice against the "dung races."
Summary
2018 Dragon Award Finalist for Best Military Sci-Fi Novel
In the era of the original Four Horsemen, there comes a Legend.
At a time when Humans were just starting to venture forth into the Galactic Union as mercenaries, Martin Quincy survived long enough to do something no one else had - he retired.
There was only one problem: He got bored.
After battling aliens for many years - killing aliens and getting paid - retirement didn’t suit him, and he decided to strap on the combat armor and go back to the stars. Along with his old friend Kal, Martin joined Cartwright’s Cavaliers, humanity’s best merc company. Life was exciting!
But he got bored. Again.
What does a "legend" do when even the merc life gets boring? He starts his own company! Can Martin form a merc company out of non-merc races and stand up for the downtrodden of the galaxy, or has his long string of good luck finally run out? One thing is for sure - with Torvasi and Andori troopers, and a Sirra’Kan princess as his partner, he won’t get bored again!
Includes Shattered Crucible, a bonus novella in The Four Horsemen series.

Confusing
I found this a very difficult book to follow. The first third is about the hero assembling his mercenary band. A flurry of alien races and alien names left me quite bewildered. Probably easier to follow in a book than on audio. The narrator took a while to find his stride so pretty much all characters sounded the same, which didn't help with my muddle.
The rest of the book hop, skips and jumps over 5 years. We drop in from time to time to see what a stand up guy the hero is. He is sooo all round kind, fair and honourable you have to wonder how he ever ended up as this apparently total bad-ass Merc.
Credit to the author for getting on with the story I suppose. Lots of authors could have squeezed a 12 book series out of the time-period. At least then I might have cared something about the characters as they would have been a little less umm cardboardy.

low quality space opera in most discernible ways
The main characters ridiculous modesty the use of pre existing human like pantheon of aliens and complete lack of knowledge of physics along with a predictable plot and terrible accents left me cold in the first few chapters , I usually return this low end dross but I followed this to it's American Disney like boring end .
Without being cruel this could have been written by a child Star Wars fan , and narration isn't much better but I suppose with cardboard characters he had little to work with .
The novella at the end was far better and had some merit.

amazing first book with terrible others
this series is a catstrophy first book is amazing with perfect characters and good story and anything else you might expect in good space opera and I was ready for amazing series instead copleate disaster after since authors change and second book has nothing to do with first one expcept being same universe just a view into trerible and tragic alian life characters were good and story was ok but leads nowhere and with sad ending and third book is even worse is about incompetent Merc captain who can't even come up with any plan or idea and makes one mistake after another and with this being space opera you would think there is infinite possibilities to write about humans uniting with good aliens and fighting the bad ones to make a better feuture instead of depressing picture of humans Corp being traitors ,pirates and rapists who kidnap children of their own kind by the thousands to turn them to slaves or to labs for experiments did the author run out bad alien ideas?who wants to read a book about their own kind turning against their own in a time when there is whole Galaxy full of spiecies that are way more advenced and might by working against them humans are on the bottom of the food chain yet it's a book about humans versus humans

Very simple yes great story
I like this author, he doesn’t overcomplicate the story. Decent characters with enough to really understand motivations. He avoids too many details so trolls won’t bury him in military tactic nonsense. He just tells a story.

Great story telling and top notch narration
I was pleasantly surprised by this book. I'm always leery of getting books from authors and narrators that I'm not familiar with (I've been burnt too often) but Christopher Woods and Marc Vietor surprised me.
The story has plenty of great dialog, humor and action. My only complaint is that there are sooo many characters and various aliens that it gets overwhelming at times.
I look forward to reading more books in this series.

this is by far the best 4hu book that I have listened to, yet. Hands down better than the first four books of the series. The narrator had that superhero tone to his voice that helped form and solidify the mental image for me. can't wait for the next installment of the Legend series.

I have listened to this a couple times since I bought it. I still enjoy it very much. It’s still nice to listen to when I’m driving to follow the story and still pay attention to the road. I have definitely gotten my moneys worth and I’m glad that I bought it
