This was J.L. Bournes first venture into writing publicly and he nailed every aspect of it. Phenomenal world building, character structuring and arc. This book is best read in physical copy and if you do listen, understand it's written in a journalist format. Read this, the next and everything else he has to offer. They're all spectacular in their own way.

Story
How do you tell your part in the biggest tale in history? I ask because it's what I have to do. I'm Zoe Boutin Perry: A colonist stranded on a deadly pioneer world. Holy icon to a race of aliens. A player (and a pawn) in a interstellar chess match to save humanity, or to see it fall. Witness to history. Friend. Daughter. Human. Seventeen years old. Everyone on Earth knows the tale I am part of. But you don't know my tale: How I did what I did—how I did what I had to do—not just to stay alive but to keep you alive, too.

Story was just repetitive fodder and recaps of the last books. There's some material in there but overall it's only worth the final 30 minutes.

I can't get enough of the world building, the story arch, the constant action and the attention to detail this author brings. I'll be buying every one of his books for the unforseen future.

Story
John Perry did two things on his 75th birthday. First he visited his wife's grave. Then he joined the army. The good news is that humanity finally made it into interstellar space. The bad news is that planets fit to live on are scarce—and alien races willing to fight us for them are common. So: we fight. To defend Earth, and to stake our own claim to planetary real estate. Far from Earth, the war has been going on for decades: brutal, bloody, unyielding. Earth itself is a backwater.

This book is the best. Its top tier material. I didn't quite enjoy any of the rest near as much and probably would have been fine stopping with the first one.

Story
Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.

Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

If you loved The Martian, you'll adore this.

it's really amazing how creative J.L was with this one. knowing his backstory I can't believe someone like him could even fathom a world with this much depth. He really did his research and it's a phenomenal read.
