Summary

Koritt Diviak’s assignment was simple - travel to Earth and return with a human specimen, along with samples of their technology. After Koritt’s transport crashes in the desert of Afghanistan, Army Ranger Lieutenant Ty Lavender commandeers the ship, along with the U-10 - the most ingenious technology in the galaxy focused into a weapon with multiple capabilities -and uses it to protect his team from local insurgents, who want retribution.

Things heat up when special operative Lincoln Frost shows up, determined to appropriate the alien technology for SEED, the top-secret, power-hungry US paramilitary agency tasked with eliminating threats to national security. Thinking a breeding pair will be even more valuable to his home planet, despite the animosity between them, Koritt captures both Lavender and Frost, along with the U-10, and waits for help.

But rescue isn’t coming...and the humans are more intelligent, and resourceful, than Koritt anticipated. As the true purpose of Koritt’s mission comes to light, the battle begins. Under attack from all sides, hidden agendas emerge, and Koritt, Lavender, and Frost - all at odds with each other - will do whatever it takes to ensure victory. Now they must work together if they - and the planet - are going to survive.

Exciting new Series

Sam Miller doesnt publish a lot ,but this may be because when he does it hits the nail on the head.
In this new series im very minded of Smith another story as some of the characters just automatically bond with the listener almost from the start.
This feels very quick to finish maybe due to the engrossed listening and the enjoyment, I was impressed with the quick actions and imaginative solutions offered by the BAG and the authors imaginative writing.
Pirnhalla isnt a big narrator but he takes this one on with ease and i really liked his take on Elvis and Lavender.
Hopefully the 2nd installment is around the corner as i shall be waiting with baited breath, small spoiler is ends on a cliffhanger arghh.
I requested this audio and have decided to leave my thoughts.

With a curling twist of his aural pincers...

The brief synopsis blurb for U-10 does not do it justice: it is a glorious (and humourous) ongoing battle from start to finish, involving Ty Lavender and his awkward squad, the FAST team, led by self satisfied Lincoln Frost (well named), and later the Men-in-black type government organisation, SEED, the vast forces of Afghani insurgents, the alien, Koritt Diviak, tasked with recovering an human for research purposes, his alien bosses, determined to hide their own transgressions by eliminating both him and all sentient life on earth, and basically, anyone else who can get a toe into the battles. It all begins when Korrit crashes his not fully up to service space craft and his survival pack is discovered by one of the animals he had come to study....

Great fun as well as almost non stop action, constant confusion, alien artifacts and technologies, a friendly space ship, hostilities of a personal nature and unlikely coalitions, with good dialogue make this an intriguing, very readable book. The narration by John Pirhalla is excellent: he has so many very different characters to voice and he does it all with seamless ease. The in between text is read with understanding and panache as well. A fine performance.

I was very fortunate in being freely gifted with a complimentary copy of U-10 by the rights holder, at my request. Thank you. It was a very enjoyable confection of fun, in some ways reminiscent of Harry Harrison's Stainless Steel Rat, though very different in content. Recommended to all S.F.fans who enjoy a touch of humour and lots of character with their multi level battles.
