Lee’s too wild for the military, but too good at his job to get rid of. The government's solution is to banish him to the outer planets until he’s deemed civilized. His latest attempt at rehabilitation has him signed on with an outpost colony.

He hates ranching. He hates taking orders from his boss. But he likes shooting aliens. Luckily, the planet he’s on is about to face a full blown infestation.

I agree with the reviewer that the dialect was a bit stilted and contrived. That's usually a turnoff. But other than that, it's a straightforward, fun shootout of a story.
Give it a chance, you might just enjoy yourself.

This one had my going back to re-read pages. Being a speed reader is a blessing and a curse. This book demands your full attention and once given it will immerse you in an alternative reality that this author has developed and become oh so good at. I have a few of these books and intend to get the rest soon.
Richard Fox has written a lot of books, but this Ember War Series has finally made him stand out - he seems to have gained so much experience and now has put it all together.

I found reading this book to be enjoyable, but glad it was just a short story. I think it would've been a better ending without the epilogue.

Reviewed in the United States on November 27, 2017
This is a short audio it is filled with a lot of good writing. Lee’s rehab isn’t going so well, he doesn’t like to listen to orders that he doesn’t agree with. He has a problem with standing down and wants to take control shooting as many aliens as he can which gets him more than he bargains for.

Mr Tyler kept me laughing with his different character voices. The cooks were something else. Lee is a very dry man but has a little humor what makes him more funnier is that he thinks his speaker is off and it isn’t. His boss female voice was great as well as the child’s. He gives you a wide range of tones and voices all are very different. It is very easy to know who is talking and what they are feeling. There is no background noises, no repeating of words and if any breaks were taken I could not tell. The volume never changed from one chapter to the next it was a very clean and clear audio that I really enjoyed. For me the narrator really bought the story to life, I had no trouble picturing the aliens or the characters trying to save their way of life as well as their life. He really did a wonderful performance.

The plot was good, the story very believable. I had no trouble buying into it. I loved the bricking between Lee and his boss. I would call it foreplay lol. I enjoyed the characters, loved the humor and really was hooked. There is a little romance not over powering but very nicely written. The author uses no fillers at all but gives the reader action from the start until the end. The ending was a little surprising but ends well. I would have liked it to have gone on a little longer to see how Lee’s boss took to the outcome but it was a good ending.

There can never be to many space marines stories.
The characters are a little flat but it was a short story. I would like to see this flushed out to a full book. Thank you for a fun read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Space Cowboy!
Reviewed in the United States on October 23, 2017
Lee's a former soldier, banished to an outpost planet to ranch the hilariously named beef clops. Everything in the colony is breaking down, and the raids on his herd by the local predators aren't helping Lee's temper. When two of the colony's residents go missing, Lee has the chance to relive his former glory and shoot up some aliens.

Sci-fi isn't my usual genre, but I'm really glad I picked this one up. God, it was funny, the beginning chapters had me cracking up and rewinding every few minutes. There's cursing, and explosions, and sex, and more cursing, and shooting, so if that's not your taste, steer clear. Lee is a foul-mouthed Clint Eastwood style space cowboy, and I loved it when he finally met his match. There's no wasted space in this read, the author sketched a lot of character into this novella. It was a huge change from his LitRPG Continue Online series, and I'd recommend them both.

The narration was great, Ben Tyler fit my image of Lee perfectly. He lightened his voice for the female characters, and his accents were perfect. I requested a copy of the audiobook, and I'm voluntarily leaving a review.

When I read a book I like to believe I am actually there and I can believe to understand the characters, but I'm afraid not with this book, the author even threw in some sex but I'm afraid that didn't help either, not my cup of tea but some may like it
