Brothers in Arms

Executive Summary: I thought this started slow, but once it got going it got a lot better. So far it's probably the second best of the series. 3.5 stars rounded up.Audiobook: Grover Gardner once again does an excellent job with the narration. He does a variety of voices and Full ReviewI decided to read this book in publication order rather than chronological or the author's suggested order (which I think is basically just chronological). Up until now, I didn't feel like I was missing anything. This time, I found myself struggling to recall if I forgot a bunch of details from the last Miles book.

I still plan to stick with publication order, but time jumps have been a bit jarring.So far I've found this series good, but not great. I do find Miles and his mercenary band far more interesting than the other books I've read so far. Thankfully it looks like the next book sticks with him.I don't really remember the supporting cast. I don't know if that's due to my own bad memory or the time jumps. I did struggle with with the start as I was trying to get my bearings and Miles just seemed to be sitting around stuck on Earth with very little of interest happening.Once I got back up to speed and the main plot got going, thing went along at a pretty good pace. I have a few more books already in this series on audible, so I plan to keep going for a bit, but I'm waiting for one of these books to really wow me.
