I'm a fan of the series and so picked this one up to help finish my collection , coming at it from the reverse order of listening i figured would be a bit boring but I actually liked how Roak started out and his usual attitude of i want my chits was still very enjoyable. For those starting then this is a great series to listen to as Wehrlen does very well and their is quite a lot of books now made into audios to enjoy.

At chapter 11 I'm done. The bad guys cut a little boy's ear off, then cut off his thumb, then stabbed him in the chest and killed him. I can't enjoy that kind of shit.According to my iPad there was a little sex and the F-bomb was used 1 time.As for the narration: He SUCKED.

If space adventure tropes annoy you then please avoid this novel. It ticks almost every box. Bad guys that never just kill the hero. A special A.I. that partners our man to crack security and provide any critical information needed. A hero that never misses and doesn't know the meaning of fear. Every government official is corrupt. There's also a heavy dose of the Bruce Willis effect... despite major injuries he just keeps charging the enemy.It also occationally breaks the mold. Innocents actual...

Pay up and walk away.Pay the money owed and walk away, don't pay and Roak becomes a very unhappy man.Roak isn't exactly a good guy but he isn't a bad guy either. He is a man with a code though and he cleaves his way across the galaxy in pursuit of justice, leaving a trail of destruction in his wake.Bloody, gory, sometimes quite emotional, I loved this story from the gruesome beginning.Another fantastic book from Mr Bible, Roak is my new hero.

Roak is an interstellar bounty hunter. He has returned from a job with the verified remains of his latest charge. He intends to receive his pay from Boss Teeg, a syndicate stooge with other plans. Boos Teeg decides he isn't going to pay and problems begin. He has his men try to kill Roak, who proves very hard to dispose of. He is wounded and needs to heal up a bit and then he goes full force after Teeg. He kills most of Teeg's men and doesn't find Teeg. He flees off world. Roak then is pulled in...

I like RoakI got totally hooked by Roak and Hessa. This appears to be a stand-alone, but I have to admit that I would like more adventures with Roak and Hessa. There's a lot of appeal in a badass bounty hunter and a smart-ass ship. Could not put it down.

Didn’t finish. Very gross. Unpleasant grisly bloody scenes. Entrails trailing..... Attacking someone with the jagged bones of a broken arm. Attacking someone with another’s fanged teeth. A kind woman murdered heinously while supposed hero could give a flying fuck....What’s to like?

Roak is a bounty hunter who does the job, then expects to be paid. After not being paid for his latest job and being left for dead, Roak sets out to right this wrong. This is a good book, that does not take its self too seriously, Roak is an interesting character and will hopefully develop, with more back story in future books.

RoakRoak was an interesting character. Not out for blood, just what he's owed. However it doesn't always work that way. He either gets his ass handed to him or he is the bone breaker. Either way he is a pretty badass character. I also loved all the different aliens in the book. Would love to know more about them. Would also appreciate some background information on how all these alien species came together in the first place. How far in the future is this set? How do all these species communicat...

All around fun, very entertaining and enjoyable listen. The story pulls you from the start and keeps you listening until the end. The story is fast paced and constantly moving forward. Full of action, suspense, violence, betrayal, humor, revenge and more. Great cast of character's. Roak is the best at what he does. An intergalactic Bounty hunter. One with a well deserved reputation and a personal code of honor. Being a Bounty hunter is never an easy job. It's even worse when you've completed a j...

I started listening this auibal this morning and could not stop till it ended and I do recommend this audible. The reason I said meets the 1920's is because have hit men and women, mafia bosses, bounty hunters with many types of aliens and AI's. The simple basic ideal boy meets girl, boy does a bounty job and does not get paid and bounty hunter get mad and starts a hunt killing anyone who tries to stop him except the girl. It is a fun filled ride with gun battles, rockets ships and like I said v...

A promising start to the series! Full of great action sequences, graphic violence, and interesting characters (of different alien races). The storyline has zero dull points, and keeps you turning the pages long after you’ve told yourself it’s time to stop reading and accomplish real-life responsibilities. Roak is the perfect anti-hero. Basically a good guy, that does bad things to people that deserve it. Sure, there are some undeserved casualties left in his wake, but anyone that really knows Ro...

2.5/5Dnf 22%The prose in this book is solid and the action is fun. But I just didn't get any real character motivation and slowly lost interest. It feels like a child imagining a cool world and hiring an author to show it off without thinking about the characters beyond basic tropes abd stereotypes. May check out further projects by this author in the future.

Spaghetti Western in SpaceROAK: Galactic Bounty Hunter feels like the spaghetti western of old. I mean this in the best way possible. Risk is good with knives, guns and women. My favorite chapter involves beaver teeth as a weapon. Your gonna have to read the book to see what I mean.

Light comic-book level reading but humorous enough to be entertaining. The hero goes from one jam to another escaping with cleverness or killing, and after a while it becomes repetitive. Saved by the varied cast of aliens from becoming boring the heroes strange version of a moral code is the backbone of the story.

This review refers to the audiobook version. The narrator did a good job and was easy to follow.Roak is an intergalactic bounty hunter and if people just paid him what they agreed to then there wouldn't be any problems. (It would also have been a very short book). The book starts with a crime boss not wanting to pay Roak for killing the person specified by the crime boss. Actually, Roak didn't kill him, he just found the guy dead and brought him back to the crime boss, but the crime boss had spe...

Reaction after reading the Amazon Sampler at 10:00 pmRoak begins with a bang. I am not sure I like the main character, but between the opening scene, his assurance (and knowledge of his limitations), his perseverance, and his honesty in the first four chapters, I want to get to know the character and so purchased the book after reading the Amazon sample. Mr. Bible has nailed how to get interested in a story and character.When I first read the teaser about how the character is beat to a pulp and

Roak is the bounty hunter's bounty hunter. He takes the hardest jobs, and lives by one simple rule: always get what's due to you. A fairly straightforward snuff job for a mob leader spirals into ever bigger challenges after his employer, Boss Teegg, stiffs Roak. It takes Roak a while (and a lot of violence) but eventually he squares his account with everyone.

Gave up at 26%. Despite being a major Jake Bible fan since day one, from the start this book just rubbed me the wrong way, I just couldn't read any more of it, feel it smacks of star wars, even from the first pages, I tried to persevere but it didn't seem to get any better. With that said maybe it's just me because I can stand star wars, and this is the first Jake Bible book that I haven't liked, so there is that I suppose!

Roak is double crossed by a client who refuses to pay for services rendered. The rest of the book is Roak tracking down the client that stiffed him and all the various situations he gets into on the journey. Not a bad book; witty writing with action here and there. I find it hard to credit this tale with four stars; three.point.five for the effort.
