Summary
Some days it just doesn’t pay to be a soldier.
Captain Rick Galloway and his men had been talked into volunteering for a dangerous mission, only to be ruthlessly abandoned when faceless CIA higher-ups pulled the plug on the operation. They were cut off in hostile territory, with local troops and their Cuban “advisors” rapidly closing in—and then the alien spaceship landed.
Rescued from certain death, they now must fight another world’s war.

Great Narrator
This book as good today as when I first read it in ' 84. The narrator is one of the best, if not the best, working for Audible.

A surprisingly enjoyable read
It’s not often you come across a book that both surprises the reader and draws you in. Well worth listening to and no follow up books.

OK but also of its time.
Enjoyable enough for distracted listening. Not particularly thought provoking, which is fine. Shame about the casual misogyny.

Series incomplete
Quite enjoyable.
Now where is the fourth book in the series? If I knew the series was incomplete I would not have started.

Great!
Highly recommended for both the plot & the narration. Sci-fi & historical plot elements & well-known rounded characters.

of its time
Great story, expertly narrated, 70's sci-fi at its best.
wonderful scene setting that brought the characters and places clearly into my imagination,
yes you have to cringe at the historical mysogeny but there is only a few bits and I've read a lot worse.
if anything I think Jerry Pounelle was trying to lift female characters out of that plot staple of being the cause of all problems ( in his own 1978 way)
