About this listen

Disaster.

There was no other word to describe how Operation Olympic had changed in a flash from a triumph to the worst failure the Merry Band of Pirates had ever experienced. A failure that meant the fight was over. Unless the Pirates could perform a miracle, without Skippy.

The Expeditionary Force saga continues with Gateway from epic sci-fi writer Craig Alanson and narrated by none other than R.C. Bray.

As always left me wanting more

Great book (Craig Alanson) and performance (RC Bray) makes you feel like your in the room with the Merry Band of Pirates. Fingers crossed for a 19th book.

Alanson & Bray, the dream team

Great listen as always.

I both want to see the series end, but also always want to have more stories from this universe, so that is when you know it's a great series.

SPOILER!

Another juicy cliffhanger, the next book can't come soon enough.

Bring on the Ruin!

Enjoyed the re-introduction of Nagatha. Can’t wait until next book is released. Go on Skippy.

Just a great story

I’m always so pleased when this series has a new instalment, the story is well developed, characters are believable and lovable and the pacing is perfect. The formula for these books isn’t tired, it has been perfected, and Mr Alanson has delivered exactly what I wanted from another adventure for The Pirates. Wonderful!

Comfort listening

Just as enthralling as the previous books and relieved that certain characters are still with us. Cannot wait to hear book 19.

Worth the wait.

For me, Gateway has been as awesome as all the other books in the series, can't wait for the next.

Yet another great read/listen.

the last book in this series was pants, but in this book the author gets his mojo back and stops with the politicised messages that i could really do without .

great book
