About this listen

The first novella set in the universe of James S. A. Corey's epic Captive's War series.

Humanity's war is eternal, spread across the galaxy and the ages. Humanity's best hope to end the endless slaughter is the Livesuit forces. Soldiers meld their bodies to the bleeding edge technology, becoming something more than human for the duration of a war that might never end.

I like to think of this story as Starship Troopers on Red Bull. It's a great addition to the 'Gods Of Mercy' storyverse and follows a bunch of yahoos on their first person shooter style journey to help save the human race. There is much introspection and we learn about who they were and who they become through the prsim of war. Be prepared for a dark twist.

Great work from Jefferson Mays on the narration.

First person shooter with a twist

Having read the previous saga I am ready to commit to more from S A Corey, no questions asked. The first book was a bit tricky given the gear shift from the previous work and I liked the time it took to get its ducks in a row. This Book however had a different flavour from the get go. it’s a massive tease putting out a short story like this but it is masterfully written, the characters and world form swiftly and are incredibly real and believable, the plot is always teasing, questions are asked but not answered here and you will never see the ending coming. I want more! The narrator, Mays, is sublime. I loved it.

Brilliantly easy to get into

A nice stand alone story. Possibly a bit too predictable but lovely prose and and wonderful performance.

Livesuit is a great snapshot into an aspect of The Captive's War universe that we haven't yet seen. It's a soulful and contemplative look at the front line of a technologically driven war and what the impacts might be for those involved, it's a good book. The "haven't seen yet" part is what triggers the mild disappointment, after "The Mercy of Gods" I eagerly spent a credit on Livesuit not realizing that it is a very shot interim novella rather than either a continuation of the main story arc or a separate novel introducing a new part of the arc. This was my mistake of course but I suspect I wasn't alone in this error. I look forward to finding out what happens next with the Dafyd and the workgroup.

A soulful story but slightly disappointing

I think like everything Jefferson mays reads and everything James SA Corey writes. Their work is such an amazing mix of warm humans in the coldness of space.

Short with a big punch

I really enjoyed this. I probably preferred it to Mercy of God's which I had just finished. It stands on its own so you don't need prior knowledge of its parent book. Short,sweet with an excellent story line and engaging characters. More please

Engaging short story

Very cool concepts, I'm really hoping that the Live suits get a lot more lore.

live suits remind me of WH40K and the grim aspects of Mechanicus technology.
