The Expeditionary Force saga continues with Fallout, the eagerly awaited sequel to number one Audible-ranked and New York Times best-selling Breakaway, from an epic sci-fi writer at the top of his game. Join the millions of listeners who have enjoyed R.C. Bray’s hilarious portrayal of Joe, Skippy, the Merry Band of Pirates, and so many other unforgettable characters.

The problem with lying about having a super weapon is that the bad guys might believe they have nothing to lose by doing something stupid that both sides will regret. Or, they might just call your bluff. Either way, the Merry Band of Pirates need a plan to deal with the Fallout.

If you haven’t read the 13 Books of the series, START NOW!!

How can a multi dimensional omnipotent being that looks like a beer can and an average “Joe” in tandem create with such hilarious antics, a new Galactic order.
Some buzzkills out there give 1or 2 stars to the books in the series because they don’t get Awesomeness of Skippy and Joe Bishop. This is science fiction. The Mcguffins (plot enhancing scientific devices) are so creative and entertaining to move this dazzling universe into some exceptional page turning fun.
I have to say the banter between Joe and Skippy have me rolling with laughter and finds me busting out laughing to very serious “beat downs” of quasi superior beings in the galaxy.
The author, Craig Alanson has a real twisted imagination. If I could, I would love to crack open a few with the guy. I want to watch his neural synapses work in real time and hear firsthand how he developed these wonderful characters.
I can’t wait for the next book!

Time to end it!

It's been great fun but the jokes and the banter are getting old. I know it's nice not to have to do all the world building stuff in a new series but these constantly escalating threats are like a video game. Clear the cloud, kill the elder AI and move on to something new.

Story is getting real

After 13 books I still scream at the end because I know it'll be 6 months or more until the next book. This is the new standard when it come to space operas. If you are a fan of starwars or started or fans are, or well any space adventure story....forget about them, they will leave you wanting more Skippy.

I will not post details of the story because you need to read it yourself, but I'll just say I have NO IDEA how this will wrap up in 3 more books. I'm thinking 6 or 7 more books would be better.

A meh Ex Force is better than a good most anything else...

Reviewed in the United States on December 13, 2021

Verified Purchase

While this doesn't make the top five Ex Force book list, it is a solid contribution and another wild ride. There's less of the Joe and Skippy banter than we've grown accustomed to and more Days Ex Machina than we are used to and fewer of the sophomoric insults we have come to love. The trade off is that there is more action sequences and plot development. We do have a touch of ECO hijinx (personally I love these beetles) and the framework for additional spin off novels.

All in all it's a solid 4 stars or 4.5 even though it feels like something is missing in the secret sauce.

Let Sleeping Sentinels Lie..

Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2022

Verified Purchase

In the last installment of Expeditionary Force, Colonel Joe Bishop
ran another of his specialty cons and convinced the galaxy's (hostile)
senior species that the Earth (with the help of the Elder AI Skippy)
had the power to disrupt the wormhole networks which enable practical
interstellar travel. In fact, that was not true, and the time is
rapidly coming when the bluff will be exposed. In particular the
Awful Kitties have dispatched a cloud of riven Jovian atmosphere
to pass between the Earth & Sun, which will cause an ice age if it
cannot be dispersed, and have encouraged an "hey it wasn't us!"
attack by a client species on Earth itself. Joe's superiors (who
don't know about the bluff) are about to order him to unleash the
non-existent kraken on the Kitties.

To make matters worse, there is evidence that one or more Elder
Sentinel has awoken, which is never a good thing (last time took
galactic civilization back to square -1..) and it may be Joe &
Skippy's fault from the wormhole tampering they *did* do.

Once again, it looks like the only thing to do is prepare for the
destruction of Earth by doing what colonization is possible unless
Joe, without his trusted XO flywheel, & Skippy can come up with yet
another plate on a stick.. and Skippy is starting to think there
is another Elder AI out there somewhere keeping them from taking
any of the plates down.

I thought this installment was better than the last outing, and we
are now getting strong hints of endgame. We get a number of
revelations and a really cool (if so far unexplained) final scene.
I did think the Alien Legion Verd mission was just kind of tacked
on and that the humor was more strained than usual. Also, a little
Mopey Joe goes a long way, but still an entertaining outing.

Boring with a nice finale.

Reviewed in the United States on December 21, 2021

I've been a fan of this series since Columbus day. I love the characters, the relationships, the humour and the sense of adventure. You know, when Joe and Skippy go places, do things, solve problems against all odds. This book (also like the one before it)? NO ADVENTURE. Politics, politics and more politics. Two books of never-ending positioning game between senior races and humans. Negotiations, driving to an fro around too-well-known places, working around old problems, using old tricks. NO ADVENTURE. No intrigue, no emotion, none of this brilliant thing when all seems lost and those too shitheads must work together to cook some exciting shady business, then painstakingly implement their half-cooked plans. So none of this is in this book. Only the last like 20 pages are rather exciting. Should be 200. Shoud've been told in all the beautiful detail and sense of adventure, emotion, drama and maybe some loss. But no. It's just like - there was this huge problem, and then we just went and kicked ass and that's about it, the end. Sad.

Mr Alanson delivers again

Reviewed in the United States on December 14, 2021

High stakes, ridiculousness, fun and good scifi action are all here in the continuing saga. It is another great continuation of the story.

Spoiler warning:

I wonder of we will get to see the alien legion and the mavericks again. The ball of chaos that just got flung into the galaxy as of the conclusion of this story leaves it ripe for story.

I wonder what trouble the squabbling Earth Nations will do now they don't have such a close sword of damocles with George around, even though there is still that cloud of gas and dust.
And Hunanity is probably going to be really bad at galactic empire.
I can't wait to see what happens next.

The Stakes Are Climbing

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 9, 2022

Always a delight to get a new novel in the Expeditionary Force series, there is no such thing as too much Joe and Skippy although times have changed and as the narrative has grown and become more complex the "fun" of the earlier novels has been tempered with consequences and issues for the characters. That is not to say I didn't totally enjoy this addition to the series as the Earth and the Merry Band of Pirates realise far too late that the Senior Species have thousands of years of experience in manipulating "lesser" races and a deal that even allows humanity to survive may simply not be on the table. Things get even more complex for Joe and Skippy when pressure from all sides has resulted in counting the costs of what at the time seemed sensible risks to take but when faced with a force that seems to be wiping out Maxohlx and Rindhalu fleets all bets are off and no risk is too great not only to save humanity but perhaps the entire galactic population.
As always love Craig's take on AI weaponry and the Jeraptha are an inspired race so looking forward to the next novel in the series due later in the year.

Overcoming larger odds again Bishop flies are blowing s*** up and annoying his superiors back on Earth.
Riding to the rescue and saving Earth again.
Now we wait for the next book again, does anyone else think the Author when younger watched a lot of black and white serials with a lot of questions such as will the hero or his girlfriend survive? Tune in next time for another thrilling instalment unfortunately it’s not next week or even next month it’s June.

The rotten kitties are more rotten, the beetles are more likeable, the spiders more.. laissez fairs. Actually, no, less: they’re a bit wound up by events in this book. And the hamsters and lizards hardly put in an appearance because the Merry Band Of Pirates are operating at a whole new level (including a new use for Fluff).

It is pretty amazing that CA has managed to keep this franchise interesting and funny for this long. I’ve reached the end of another episode and find I’m left clamouring for more… it’s going to be a long haul to June..
