June 6, 2023I guess each book in this series is pretty stand alone. Like obviously the characters are recurring but the plot isn’t.
Lots of fun. Kinda wish it had more crazy sci-fi stuff than crazy military stuff, but that was still cool to read about. Maybe one day I’ll check out the rest of these.
