Summary
Hard Duty: Sixteen billion dead. In humanity's last brush with the Merkiaari, it was nearly wiped out in a war that spanned decades. When survey ship captain Jeff Colgan discovers a new alien race, he's required to investigate. But what if the life form is as deadly as the Merkiaari?
As the aliens discover Colgan's ship and begin to hunt him down, the captain's mission changes from one of study to one of survival.
What Price Honor: Nanotechnology was all that kept humanity afloat in their brutal war against the Merkiaari, and it led directly to the creation of vipers, a regiment of cyborg super soldiers tasked with protecting the Alliance. When Gunnery Sergeant Gina Fuentez finds one of the fabled viper cyborgs in a terrorist camp during a mission, her squad comes under attack. Two members of her squad are dead, and she'll face the same fate if she can't escape the ensuing firefight.
Operation Oracle: General Burgton's self-imposed mission is to safeguard the alliance from future Merkiaari attacks. As the black missions Burgton authorizes begin to fail, he spends trillions of dollars on a forbidden solution: artificial intelligence. When the project collapses, Burgton compounds his crime. If he can't build an AI, he'll just have to steal one!

Good and unexpectedly so
This 3 book series started off as an exciting space battle and looking at the book covers expected it to continue on this vein. But it didn't! The battle went to ground and separated in many different directions. For me it worked! I would have enjoyed a continuing space war maybe it will return?
So in short good 3 books it's not the saga of the seven suns but well worth 3 credits even though it cost me just 1

A long book, but worth the listen.
What made the experience of listening to Merkiaari Wars Series the most enjoyable?
How the story is told on multiple fronts. My favourite parts were the super human vipers.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Viper Eric. This is the first enhanced soldier that we are introduced to, and it shows just how powerful the vipers are.
What about Mikael Naramore’s performance did you like?
A pleasure to listen to. Distinctive voices made each character easy to distinguish from the others.
If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
They will return

Fantastic
Already owned and loved the books. Thought I would venture into the world of audio books, and I am very glad I did. Mikael does a fantastic job as the narrator, bringing the story alive. Great narrator, great story, well worth a try.

well worth listening to
the hours whisked by, well read, decent story, unexpectedly structured. my only gripe is perhaps a couple too many main characters which means occasional confusion and not quite enough character development for us to fall in love with them all. I will be reading more.

A good start to the series, following different story lines that will hopefully come together in book 2 and 3, which is included in this omnibus collection.

Excellence through Speaker
Another masterful collaboration from Mark and Mikael.
The story and narrator work very well together and 3 books in 1 go is an excellent deal.
The people , alien life , and others come alive as your not long in being caught up with the fate of the characters even the usual bad aliens.
The fight for survival in a world where even the heroes in this case Vipers and the aliens fight for recognition and the respect from their peers bring a level to the storytelling that will im sure make you an instant fan. The popularity of this series will bring you into a world which will have many more books im sure.

Way to go
Having missed all three books when released, I purchased the omnibus books, 1-3.
By the end of the book, I was left wanting more.
This is well worth a listen and I have already purchased book 4. However, I see that book 4 seems to be the last in the series, which I think would be a shame, if the first three books are anything to go by.
A really enjoyable listen.

The story countries and expands..
The Vipers and The Shand. Cooper builds on the relationship between the two races flung together in the battle against the ruthless invaders.
A common tales but addressed well and compellingly with a good balance of character and action. .
Well worth the read and I'm looking forward to hearing the next instalment!
