Histoire
The Merry Band of Pirates offered the bad guys a ceasefire. We won’t mess with them, if they don’t mess with us. Easy, right? No. The aliens chose to do things the hard way. So, the Pirates are racing around the galaxy to clean up the threat to Earth. The infant UN Navy has their own mission with the Alien Legion: Get humanity some allies in the fight. And the Ethics & Compliance Office might have to do something...ethical. Unless they can find a way around it.

Histoire
For years, the ancient alien AI known as Skippy (the Magnificent, don’t forget that part) has been able to do one impossible thing after another. What is his secret? It’s simple: 100 percent Grade-A extreme awesomeness. And also because he had never been faced with an opponent of equal power. Until now. This time, he might need a little help from a band of filthy monkeys.

After the Renegade mission by the crew of the starship Flying Dutchman, the UN Expeditionary Force thought Earth was safe for hundreds of years, at least. After there was trouble on the home front and the president had to authorize a nuclear strike on an American city, UNEF decided they did need the Merry Band of Pirates again. So, the Flying Dutchman is sent out on a simple recon mission. But for the pirates, nothing is ever simple, and their mission will become Armageddon.

Histoire
We were fighting on the wrong side of a war we couldn't win. And that was the good news. The Ruhar hit us on Columbus Day. There we were, innocently drifting along the cosmos on our little blue marble, like the native Americans in 1492. Over the horizon come ships of a technologically advanced, aggressive culture, and BAM! There go the good old days, when humans only got killed by each other. So, Columbus Day. It fits. When the morning sky twinkled again, this time with Kristang starships jumping in to hammer the Ruhar, we thought we were saved.

After Lieutenant Magnus awakes from the orbital strike that nearly killed him, he discovers that a small contingent of his Marine platoon has also survived. Hope glimmers as he devises a plan to rescue them. But when Magnus learns that his men are being held hostage by a deadly tribe, he fears the worst.

Description

Especially when aliens don’t get the memo that the shooting is over.

Disappointing
This book was disappointing but RC Bray was great. The story is disappointing. I feel that the last few books have a trend. One book is great then the next book is a setup for the next book. The setup book is disappointing. I thought previous book Critical Mass was a great book then this book is just a setup for the next book. It was a waist of time to pre-order this book. The author should not waist a whole book just to setup the next book.

1/2 of the book can be thrown out
A good 1/2 of the book is boring with filler material. Had an extended shore leave/romance plot that was just boring and could have been compressed. The whole plot can be summed up with the last few chapters, and the major plot was dragged out over a few chapters to the point where it just was a deus ex machina dragged out for too long. Nothing in the beginning was a foreshadowing nor did it contribute to the main plot.

Well performed.
The story is very compartmentalized over all. If you listen to the first 23 chapters, it's a relationship book. If you skip to chapter 24, the book is what you'd expect from the series, and the two halves don't meet up.
The expected wit is there,and I actually laughed out loud at a couple jokes, that was enjoyable. Like the last book, I really get a sense that the story has grown stale for the author, or he has serious insurmountable distractions. Shame really.

What a downgrade
I’ve been an ardent fan of this series since the first book, but this...was disappointing to say the least. I understand you want to further develop your characters, but not at the cost of it being a sci-fi book. 75% of the book is just MEH

Feels like Columbus day again!
Already from the start it had different vibe then last couple of books, that's obviously great because for some time already Expeditionary force series is repetitive, boring and unimaginative. This feels like beginning again, plot is believable, conversations meaningful and plausible. Even the Skippy vs Bishop jokes are kinda cool again. So far I'm pleased whit the book after 4h of listening. Recommend, in opposite of last few from this series.

Definitely worth your time !
It just came out and I binged listened ! One of the better books in this series. Made me laugh out loud so many times. I enjoyed the cliffhanger at the end (unlike book 9) so I know the series will continue . The cast of characters makes this series great ! If you have never listened to this series , start with book one (chapter 10 is where it gets good) and move forward through the books from there- I look forward to more books and I am impressed that they continue to be well worth the time to listen. During this Pandemic, this series has truly saved me. Thank you Craig Alanson and R.C. Bray - you are both incredible people and the world is better with you in it !

Well ...
It's a cool story. Suspense - good. Characters - mostly likeable. Story - great, if sometimes repetitive.
The Expeditionary Force books are all really great, so I hope that this assessment will be seen as a hint about something that could be changed in order to improve the series.
When listening to the conversation between e.g. Bishop and Adams or Bishop and the Bürgermeister, I wonder: Has Craig Alanson ever met people?
Nobody is this ungrateful, cynical and disbelieving. The same goes for the other pirates and representatives of the UN. Almost every major character seems to be the simulation of a human being seen from the perspective of a misanthropist. Take Margaret Adams for example, who has to mention always, to everyone and in every situation that she's a Marine and treats Bishop with a lack of care and respect that none of the people I know would ever tolerate.
Oddly enough, the characters from the Mavericks series are in contrast acting like mentally stable and fully functional human beings, except for the Ruhar and Kristang, who are acting like mentally stable and fully functional alien beings.
To summarize, the story is great and Alanson has a way of describing the world of Expeditionary Force that is really captivating. The characters though are not acting like real people, which gets increasingly annoying with every new book.

I guess it had to happen
After ten books in this series where you could not put the book down I almost gave up on this one. The Story drags on for almost 2/3 of the book before starting to get going and is then suddenly over. What a disappointment. That said, I can't wait for book 12 whilst hoping it will be a little more stunning like the earlier books.

A very well made interlude
Humanity is safe from extinction and Joe Bishop is a hero.
That's great but that's not much of a story. So Craig Alanson does the only thing that makes sense in this situation. He writes a book that tells a satisfactory ending to the sneaking-around-in-the-galaxy story, that also assigns new roles for the known characters, that introduces new villains and that kicks off a new saga. One in which humanity has a different role and new kinds of problems.
This book is very well written, the story is different but familiar and it has an unusual pacing compared to the other books in the series. The story slows down for a large part of the book. The entire middle of the book is slow but that's a good thing. It's necessary for the series and it is very satisfying.
This is one of my favorite books of the series.
