Mavericks (Expeditionary Force)

If you listen in pieces — commute, chores, late night — Mavericks (Expeditionary Force) by Craig Alanson keeps its place in this browser.

The remnants of the Expeditionary Force stranded on the alien-controlled planet “Paradise” get a chance to prove themselves, in a simple off-world training mission with a ship full of teenage alien cadets. When the mission goes horribly wrong and the survival of everyone on Paradise is at risk, the Merry Band of Pirates may have to come to the rescue. Unless they get killed first…. ©2018 Craig Alanson (P)2018 Podium Publishing
