BLOOD WORLD Undying Mercenaries, Book 8, by B.V. Larson


McGill is Our Secret Weapon

James McGill, Earth’s best weapon against the Galactics, is once again at the center of the action, so much so that is becomes suspicious to others that he must be the behind the scenes leader of all Earth’s forces in disguise as an ordinary low ranking officer. This is an ingenious scenario and the resolution is a lot of fun. If you have made it this far then you are probably only concerned with knowing if this book is like the previous seven. I can assure all fans of B.V. Larson’s Undying Mercenaries that this is more of the same. More of the same great characters. More of the same witty dialog and more of the same James McGill acting as a loose cannon to dangerous to be left alone but too resourceful to be put on the sidelines. This is good entertainment.

And with Mark Boyett doing the voices this is a movie playing in your head.

ROGUE WORLD Undying Mercenaries, Book 7, by B.V. Larson


McGill Foolishly Risks the World and Wins!

This series keeps up the excitement. This is my favorite of all the Legion Varis books so far. The stakes are high but McGill rises to the occasion risking everything in his solo efforts to save all of humanity from being permed. If only his superiors could see what a valuable asset McGill was they he would not get into so much trouble. But then Undying Mercenaries would not be so much fun, would it?

I cannot say enough about Mark Boyett. It is amazing to hear his gravelly voice imitating a delicate female. It has given me pause on more than one occasion to suddenly realize that all these voices are are being done by one man.
