Strange Company 3 eBook (Strange Company)

Product Description

Caps to pop and bodies to drop

As intergalactic civilization collapses and descends into chaos, the Strange Company must journey to the edge of human-controlled space to board and destroy the last ship of the corrupt Monarch Empire--in order to both satisfy a debt and salvage what remains of their reputation as hard-bitten and dangerous private military contractors.

But things are never easy for mercenaries. Plots to kill one of them abound, eccentric warrant officers are running amok--when they can be found-- and a bad case of serious PTSD about what lies ahead for Sergeant Orion plagues his waking nightmares as the Cult of Hot Soup grows. The company must “get gud” or die trying as they master boarding operations and prepare for the worst kind of combat a space marine can get their kill on in: compartment-to-compartment fighting on a ship so advanced in technology, it’s almost… alien.

Stinkeye, Hauser, Chief Cook, Sergeant Orion, and new and old Strange Company brothers are here for the violence with a ticket to ride the lightning and settle accounts with the fallen tyrants as they get their stack on and get paid. If they can make it back to their ship and a safe world beyond the limits of the known, then perhaps the company can avoid the tragedy they’ve been sucked into.

The only way out lies beyond a praetorian guard of heavily armed commandoes, emplaced guns, and enigmatic psy-powered operators. The Heart of Darkness waits at the Oblivion Gate, for the Strange Company to make one wrong move and disappear forever.

Five Stars. Recommend.

It'd been a while since Cole published Strange Company 2: Voodoo Warfare so I was a little behind curve when I started #3 - Hearts of Darkness. I remembered the main characters from the previous two novels, though, and worked out what I'd forgotten from context. Maybe should have reread Voodo Warfare before Hearts of Darkness, but didn't.

Cole's narrative style initially is pretty loose, stream-of-consciousness-ish that may be a little hard to follow. After the story-telling has tightened up I understood that the initially disconnected-seeming material made sense of what followed.

There's at least one Forgotten Ruin Easter-egg that's pretty hard to miss and probably others that I did miss. Maybe allusions to other WarGate series Cole's collaborated on, too.

BTW, I bought my e-book here because Amazon failed me r/t my "pre-order."

Sorry, I bought the ebook to support you all, particularly, Nick. I don’t have time to read books anymore. I Listen to books and am waiting for tha audio release. There is no nick book I haven’t enjoyed, though my favorites are the wasteland series, and the soda pop warrior (sp?). Can’t wait to listen to this one!

Get it on, Strange!

Strange Company 3: Hearts of Darkness is arguably the best book in the series. More of the same greatness from author Nick Cole. Five stars, would recommend!
