About this listen

When a towering alien monolith crashes onto James McGill's family farm, it triggers events that could spark a galaxy-wide war.

Things have gone bad among the colonies. Insurgents are building alien-hybrid armies and planet-killing weapons, threatening to upend the fragile balance of power in Province 921.

There's not only trouble in the province—the Core Worlds are igniting as well. The Mogwa have asserted claims upon the Imperial Throne, causing their rivals to move against them. Earth's Hegemony and the rebels are pulled into a conflict that could tear the galaxy apart.

Civil War looms, and McGill has only one chance to get ahead of it. Can he bluff, fight, and lie his way through a maze of shifting loyalties and dangerous enemies?

Find out in Rebel World, the latest entry in B. V. Larson's USA Today bestselling Undying Mercenaries series—modern military sci-fi at its finest.

all these books later and I still love the series, no nonsense, no wokery, just good old story telling.

what's more, the story arc has an almost limitless canvas to be painted.

my wife listened to some of the story and even she was chuckling away with it.

the story is fantastic and the narrator is a perfect match. do not change this combo!

love it

Plot was great but some aspects of the writing almost sound like larson asked ai to add more humour and then didnt bother editing it afterwards

good plot but needs refinement

Plenty of the Mcgill charm but plot line of Rebel World was not as deep and complex as the best books of the series. Hoping the next will have a few more political twists and turns to match the action.

Good but not best in series

Another great installment to the saga. I must admit, the first chapter was hard going. Quite repetitive with similies, almost like trying to make an oblique mention of all past species featured, but not well done. I did wonder if Larson let a fan write the first chapter. Second on however, we hit the flow. No spoilers, but I'm glad of where the story led. Can't wait for the next one.

Throne World, the previous book in this series, was the one that brought me back. Prior to that, I had decided to call it a day on this series, feeling it had nothing more to offer and was simply rearranging common plot elements to produce formulaic stories that followed the same pattern.

Similarly, Rebel World hinted at something fundamentally different for McGill. Though I did enjoy Rebel World, the aforementioned hint of insurrection never materialised. Still, there was enough variation here on a theme to keep me interested and entertained, so I'll stick with it for a while.

These stories are simple, no fuss, little intrigue but are refreshing in their lac of political correctness. McGill harks back to an era of men who loved women, lots of them, while also being a hapless hero.

It would be nice to see more development of Mc Gill’s character, perhaps even a promotion for him. Oddly, and touch don before by me in a review of a much earlier book in the series, there appears to be no air support. Grunts are dropped right into hostile zones without close air support. In fact, much of the initial fighting could be reduced by air strikes to soften up enemy infantry. Also seems odd to me that Earth's legions aren't making use of alien soldiers who may be better suited to dealing with hugely powerful enemy troops. Blood worlders would be an obvious candidate to tackle the hybrid soldiers and yet no use was made of them. Cephalopods, too, seem to have all but been forgotten by Larson.

Regardless, these stories remain light yet entertaining reading, providing much needed escape from an ever increasingly over reaching government in our daily lives.

Sticking With It ... For Now

Fourth time through the whole series, can’t get enough. Definitely needs to be made into a tv series!

Love it!
