Rika is a Marauder.
After years of drifting aimlessly after the war with the Nietzscheans, she has finally found a home with the Marauders-a mercenary outfit comprised of Genevian veterans.
Back in the war, Rika hated her government, but always fought for the woman next to her. Now she fights for her teammates in Basilisk, an elite spec-ops team that takes on the toughest missions.
When General Mill, CO of the Marauders comes to Rika with a top-secret solo operation, she wants to turn it down. But the mission comes with a chance to save Silva, her old team leader from the Nietzschean war.
Without team Basilisk, without the Marauders, Rika must stand on her own against all odds and save the woman who once saved her.

The narrator is important. This one is good.
As someone who usually doesn't read sci-fi I am in love with this series. I overheard my husband listening to Rika and had to try it for myself. Thank you for letting us get a taste of your work :)
Oh that's so cool! I'm glad you're digging it :D
👍
You have a rare love my wife spend more time thinking of ways to get me dead lol the hitmwn whe hired failed.
@@Aeon14you actually respond to comments thats awesome dude
I Tore through these books when I found the series. I am so happy to get the chance to experience Rika’s journey once again and in a new way, too!
I'm glad you're enjoying them! :)
Day 3 book 4, adjusted years.... A new addicition ? Yes'
I love this, the narrator knocks it out of the park, every action situation has me on the edge of my seat, carseat or otherwise.
Excellent
These books are awesome, really looking forward to listening to the others.thank you for putting this series on UA-cam 👍👍👍
I think I like these books even more than the sentient wars and I enjoyed them quite a bit. Thank you for making them available.

Thank you 🙏
I LOVE that there are 5 more books. UUghhhh...So good. I just hope there are even more books in this universe. MD COOPER get to work!
There are 120 books in the universe. Plenty to soak up :)
@@Aeon14 that's great to hear! I'm in love with your work!
This series would make an awesome anime, thank you to the author and narrator
You're absolutely right! It sorta reminds me of "Ghost in the Shell" the Anime!
Well written, well narrated.
A reveal... Who are you..
Ad plays... A luxury hotel
Classic timing
I´m glad it´s a book and not a tv serie, because that would be gruesom. But I realy like the story, it is different, original, with strong female characters. I like that the women are not underdogs that ´made´ it, but are truly equel to the men. Congradulations on a very good series.
Isn’t the protagonist an underdog by virtue of being used like cannon-fodder in the war?
All I can say is thank you 😊 🙏
3d or 4th listen, I love sleeping and doing hobbies with these on vs any other videos.
Robo chicks and 200 year old Cat Girls... IN SPACE!! XD
With humor and grit.!!!!!!
I am enjoying the books
I'm really enjoying these books.
Chain guns don't spool up. A chain gun bolt is operated by a chain and gears powered by an electric motor. It doesn't have multiple barrels, only one. Like the M242 25mm bushmaster chain gun on the Bradley AFV. It does however have a dual feed receiver allowing both HE and APFSDS rounds to be fired at up to 900rpm in high rate, low rate, and single shot modes.
200 rpm for the 1hp motor 500 for the 8hp motor. Its cool. I know why your here. Sssshhhthunk sssshhhthunk sssshhhthunk. Scouts Out. 16 years blues recon 4 acr. 15 foreign legion para commando. At the legions jungle school one task was to catch and handle a bushmaster snake. This one had to have been about 2 meters long. The scariest thing I've ever done. Hate snakes. We would put the snake in a spike pit trap.
Amazing
Thank you😁👍
Good book
"I'm going to tell you about Bob"...
Gotta love Bob :D
Bub o.o Planet Bub
Lovin it
What's the year of the story in our calendar?
I do hope I am wrong, but at 3:57:04 I am feeling such dread about the likely direction this book is heading, listening at 2x speed is all I can bear (this is not a compliment). If it’s as I predictable as I suspect, I will be very disappointed. Since this series has otherwise been engaging, I’m going to extend my trust to the authors a little bit longer….
UPDATE: It got better. 🌈
Looks like this is moving into McCaffrey’s Brain and Brawn territory.
Those are some of my favorite stories of hers. I was sharing a table with her son, Todd, at a book signing last month, and he said they were some of his favorites, too.
Are you talking class or level of description and development?
Why would something mostly made of metal be called meat? I mean it seems like a bad idea to call something that can easily murder you, names. Just saying.
There's still a body under the armor. The mechanics is mostly the appendages past the elbows and knees.
@@amehak1922 that makes even less sense. How does her legs support so much weight. Also how does her upper arm survive firing a vehicle level weapon? At least a 20mm single handed would eject her arm from her body. Smooth bore or not. The weight alone would be close to 500lbs your shoulder would simply separate under that load, much less moving at speed with that bouncing around.
A person much less a woman wouldn't be able to not only handle that weight with nubs for arms and legs, but be able to move at speed and fight. Human bodies have limits and this would blow those out of the water.
@@benkeller4210 the first chapter in the first book describes her modifications, she has machines in her arms and legs to handle the weight.
@@amehak1922 then I guess apparently there isn't that much meat then, huh?
@@benkeller4210 her body is still human

These are written by a person who never served in any military.
And is not 2A educated.
So don't expect it.
Just enjoy the story and overlook the issues.
Author: If you would like to expand your knowledge base I will discuss what you want to know.
Keep writing.
And Thank you for sharing this.
you served in future mercs units ?
lol
and the author isn't here, nitwit
I am the author, Sidd :)
Cody, I've had a dozen people who served go over the books prior to publication. Differences are deliberate, as it would be crazy to think that a military seven thousand years in the future would operate like ours.
Don't know what his 2A problem is. He refused to say. But this is a really good story. The second best I've seen this year.
And it's only second best because I like Lyssa's story better. 😁
@@Aeon14 funny though, why do militaries 200 years before present day follow the same tactics even though the weapons are more primitive. I'll explain, if it isn't broken, don't fix it. Armies still try to flank each other, set up fortifications, set ambushes, and use artillery in some form or fashion.
7000 years is a long time. The weapons you describe exist today with the exception of directed energy weapons and cyborgs which aren't that far off.

I like the story so far but I find the relationship between Rika and chase to be lackluster. I guess it's supposed to be a love at first sight kind of thing but that moment doesn't really develop. Their engagement just feels hollow to me. Still I'm looking forward to more.
Did you listen to the first book? It's completely in line with the slow and restricted situation they are in
@@BrokeWrench I did listen to the first book and it basically offered them at work once and meeting for drinks one night. I'm not trying to be down on the author just offering my thoughts man. As I said I like the series so far and am still listening to the rest of the series.
@@chrislastname1994 she mentions that he asked her to have drinks with him nearly every day, but she wasn't sure about him. Partially because he only began after she got her face back.
She mentioned 4 year enlistment terms (I assume she didn't re-enlist) and the first book begins 9 years after she was modified.
She had built up tons of debt while handling freight, but it doesn't say exactly how long they worked together and that he had always been nice to her.
I just got the impression that he was lightly persistent over a long period of time while giving her time and an open invitation whenever she might have felt ready for a relationship. It did take a long time for her to overcome her uncertainty about him even after she began to like him. Working together they would have developed a friendship or at least gotten to know each other's personality a bit
@@BrokeWrench yea I get all of that and I'm not saying I dislike the relationship. It just seems like there was very little actual development and progression. It went straight from beginning to end on. He comes off like an npc because of it to me. I really like Rika as a character I just wanted more there to endear me to his character and their relationship. Just my nit picky feelings anyhow
Couldn't make it through second book, became so predictable,shoot at Rika you die, easy to see that she'll go through as a Superman solder.sorry not for me.
Well in the author's defence Rika is a walking tank. So she would be hard to kill. Plus it wouldn't really be a series if she got smoked. I mean what are you expecting?
I really dislike the majority of scifi authors and writers. Most of them, MD Cooper included, lack an in depth imagination in areas where items and certain materials in modern use are top of line or are the only known materials with the abilities to handle whatever specific use they are designed and intended for. For example: the flight line and landing pads of the spaceport in this book. MD Cooper tries to create a futuristic substance he dubs “Hard plas” to imply a lightweight and solid material strong enough to withstand concussive force from controlled explosions, extreme heat and weight of spaceships landing and returning to orbit of whatever planet they are on. We currently use reinforced extra-hard concrete, ceramic, and granite rock to construct landing/take off pads for today’s rockets, space shuttles, and space planes. Any substance containing plastic would NEVER hold up to a single use of a rocket’s explosive ignition. Nevermind it lasting over and over again. While plastic could be designed and made thick enough to possibly withstand the weight of the vehicle and the launch platform, it would not be able to take the heat, no matter what ingredients were mixed in to strengthen the “Hard Plas” Cooper uses in this book. The plastic molecules within the substance would liquify under the heat and pressure. It is a failure of his imagination. So instead of actually thinking and studying the materials, the effects of explosive gasses or chemicals used in propulsion, the physics involved and what happens in from prolonged use, he steals the shitty ideas of other wannabe scifi authors such as Plas-steel and or Plas-crete. Cooper’s stolen fictional material hard-plas is a substance that will never work no matter what ingredients and processes used to produce it. The plastic in it will fail, PERIOD! So in conclusion, Cooper is an unimaginative idiot, a thief because he steals other’s ideas, and because those specific ideas are also freeking ignorant and impossibly retarded, Cooper is doubly the fool for stealing and using bad ideas. I could go on. I could bust his balls on his equally retarded idea of his Grav-Shield used in a vacuum to surround a space dock for holding in atmosphere as well as repel incoming solid objects. Gravity is a magnetic type force pulling mass toward it. It IS NOT a propelling force pushing against mass. An anti gravity force or a mass manipulation device could possibly and theoretically be created in the future. But using a field of gravity to repell mass while simultaneously retaining mass is completely foolish and flat out fuckin stupid. Bad writers make up the majority of the scifi genre. It being my favorite genre, I hold the to a high standard! MD Cooper fails to meet my standards, but his story and plot line is ok or tolerable at the least.
🤡🌍😂😂😂
You're probably really fun at parties
Do you really think that a spacefaring civilization would use plastics created from the decayed remains of plants found on one planet that is just a speck in a vast universe? Lots of things pick up colloquial names that don't accurately describe what materials compose them.
Regarding grav shields, I suggest you read up on recent research surrounding gravitons.
Also, I'm a she, not a he ;)
Wow. It a story not a science book. Plus it a free audio books. I am sure you can't make a better 48h long audio book. But hey if some made-up material is enough to kick you off, I wish you good luck finding a science fiction franchise you like.
@@Aeon14 thanks for the great work you have provided us. I going to have to slow down other wise I will finish the series with in the week ☺️ I will also look a supporting you. Very nice of you to provide it all for free.
