About this listen

A derelict Tucanan ship, floating in space. An intel bonanza that can help turn the tide of the war . . . or a trap?

The only way to find out is to send in the Undead.

As the Tucanan war machine continues to evolve and try new tactics, all of humanity must evolve as well, and the Undead seem to be the guinea pigs for each dangerous mission.

It isn’t just the alien Tucs who are a danger. Rumors of unholy science still bandy about social media, and when battalion counter-assaults on Chinook to take back the planet, one of the Marines is killed and recovered by the locals. When they perform an autopsy, they discover . . . they don’t know what it is, only that it isn’t normal.

With their secret about to be exposed, and with the threat of death or mindwipe, just how far will Pax and the rest of the Undead Marines go to protect their secret? Perhaps more pertinent, how far will their puppet masters back at Cape Town go?

Follow Pax, Olivia, and the rest of the Undead as they face danger from two fronts. The entire Undead project, and possibly the war with the Tucanans, hangs in the balance.

This new book feels like the war has taken a back seat, with the focus shifting more toward the undead Mikes. For example, a new weapon is introduced with a notable side effect, but it's barely mentioned and never really explored. There's a lot of moving around and setting scenes this person is here, that person is there but not much actual progress or meaningful action. It feels more like filler than forward momentum in the story.

It feels like a very mediocre middle book
