About this listen
The ISMC Wants You!
Abner Fortis joined the International Space Marine Corps for two reasons: to escape a life of drudgery building biodomes for his father’s company and to pay off several billion credits in student loans, which the ISMC promised to do.
Every Space Marine starts out as a cherry, though, and Abner is no different. When he makes his first combat drop, or cherry drop, he’s a know-nothing second lieutenant added to the mission roster as an afterthought. The Space Marines are tasked to support the Galactic Resource Conglomerate (GRC), while they test a revolution in military technology: Precision Crafted Soldiers (PCS). All the Space Marines have to do is kill bugs. Even when a tragic accident leaves Fortis in command, the mission is still an easy breather. When the Space Marines discover proof of a long-buried betrayal, though, friends become enemies, and their mission goes awry. Does Fortis have what it takes to lead the Space Marines to survival in the face of overwhelming odds?

Simple and enjoyable
As I wrote above, this is a straightforward military sci-fi with an enjoyable story with relatively low stakes. The highlight of the book are the characters, especially when they fight the greatest enemy of all, the incompetence and downright stupidity of other people, because as the characters in this series seem like to say dinli.

Fantastic Mil SF without all the slog
Piatt gets on with the storytelling by jettisoning all the lame technical manual descriptions of made-up technology. We get a brief explainer on the ISMC's motto, DINLI, and then we're off! I finished it in one nearly uninterrupted session and bought the second novel right away. Pirhalla's narration is great. Loads of accents to help distinguish characters and flesh out the intentionally international feel of the ISMC. As I write this I've already finished the third book in the series and will be buying Extra Credits to get the rest that are available right now.

this needs more notoriety, really good narration and the story flows nicely. I'd put this story down for a nice read for late teens
