What do you do with badass heroes when they are finished being heroes? That's not up to anyone but them...

Harris Gruberg and Tawnish Freely, bioengineered Humans, were bred for making war. After training for and fighting in it their entire lives, they find themselves expelled from the military when a truce is declared between the two warring Human factions. They struggle to find work among a civilian population who fears them, so running guns to the outer colonies turns out be their salvation.

But those weapons threaten to bring back the Great War and our heroes are determined to not let that happen. In this first book of an action-filled adventure series, intrigue and mayhem abound as the unwitting pair struggle to do what's just and right. Follow along as our Biomarines stumble their way through a Human existence that may not be what it seems. The survival of all humanity depends on their actions.

I expected a totally.different tale..one of bioengineering superhumans. Instead Arseneault.writes a slow.steady tale.with strong character development and a solid story. It's not fast paced.but the detail is engrossing it'll have you cheering the heroes.On like.old friends. His first.installment sets.readers.down deep into the back story and leads.you into book two rating to go...well.written.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good start for a new series
Reviewed in the United States on May 9, 2021

The story gets off to a bit of a rough start, and I had trouble knowing who was who during the first 10% of the novel.

Once we get past that, the story is clear. We have stumps and slugs, bioengineered humans bred to fight but not reproduce. They're ugly as their names imply, so they have a difficult time finding respectable work.

Our two MC's (stump and slug, not their real names) stumble upon an opportunity to sell small arms from the war. Despite their inexperience, they get the job done, then do it a few times more until they're wealthy.

Honestly, I thought that story in itself would be enough. But the author takes it in a different direction, with the stolen arms being shunted around to outlying truce worlds to cultivate rebellion so New Earth can take them over and get the minerals it needs to rebuild its fleet.

I won't go into the plot line as it can get complicated at times, but it was a fun read. There are numerous editing errors and shortcuts that aren't explained, but I tend to review based on whether I enjoyed the story, not on how perfect the book is.

And I enjoyed this one. It was fun, humorous, and had just enough action to keep the story moving along. Our MC's aren't the sharpest guys in the universe, and they get bamboozled a couple of times by leaping without looking where they are going.

Recommended for readers of military sci-fi who don't mind editing errors.

4/5*

5.0 out of 5 stars Great SciFi. The kind that makes you consider the human condition. Plus, action and Snarkey humor.

A new kind of hero. Ugly, brutal, brave, and looking for a good cause to champion. Great writing, found absolutely no typos, not saying they aren't any just saying I personally did not find any, which is rare these days. Characters well developed. I will read more of this series. Looking forward to seeing were this series will go.

3.0 out of 5 stars Sturdy Story, Shoddy Syntax
Reviewed in the United States on November 11, 2017
Verified Purchase
The story was pretty good. I liked a lot of the conceptual work and world-building, the story was simple but had substance, and the characters were pretty good.

Two stars are off because the punctuation in this book needs a lot of work. Normally, I'd just roll my eyes and move on, but the big problem and most common punctuation error was a missing lead quotation mark. There were a lot of sentences that had to be parsed to see if they were said by a character or were narrated. That was frustrating.

I may pick up the next book in the series—as I said, I liked the world-building and really think that the series has some potential. I'm not sure I'd reread it, though. I'm too particular about sentence structure, spelling, and grammar. And this book was rough enough in that way that it pulled me out of the story.

OK, hear is what I think. The writer could have a pretty good space opera starting. The action is different than anything I have read before and the characters are just different enough that you wonder, are they the good guys or the bad guys. The two retired engineered soldiers have found only menial jobs after the government has let them go. The Great War has ended and the need for these ultimate soldiers has left them out of a job. Tawn and Harris team up to become arms dealers acquiring the weapons through less than official channels and selling them to fringe colonist world's. They decide they have made enough money eventually and decide to help their retired engineered comrades settle in a new community that will be just for their own kind. There is more to this story.......

5.0 out of 5 stars An Introduction Into War in the Future/Combat Personnel
Reviewed in the United States on January 25, 2018

SA has penned the 1st novel of a series of war novels which take place in the future. The personnel train for any and all conditions for any planet they have to hit. Once the area is settled, if possible., then the settlers begin to either move back in or lay claim to what has been gained. This is an excellent read for the genre. When you read SyFy expect it to be SyFy and not the mystery of the Universe......ER

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent series cornerstone!
Reviewed in the United States on January 24, 2017

The first book in this series is a very gripping tale of Bio enhanced humans bred for war fighting, leaving the normal humans to continue their life on the colony worlds.

The warriors are out of work, and not trusted by the normals...

This sets two of the Biomarines off to make their way without being hired thugs, as most warriors left over from a war truce tend to become!

I was pulled into this Sci-fi book quickly, and read it in one setting!!

BZ, BZ, BZ, Stephen! Can't wait for the next one, as a former Navy Sniper, I can identify with some of the main characters situations...

I have read many books by this author and once again I wasn't disappointed. Excellent character development & inter-reaction. Very good plot that moves along quite well, plenty of marine ground action and a little of space conflict. It is a large series & a little bit expensive, I may have to wait for some sales.
