Christopher Woods is a house carpenter who moonlights writing military science fiction. Or maybe it’s the other way around. His four Horsemen universe is well conceived. Humans are new to the interstellar community but are one of the few races authorized to serve as mercenaries. That means we have humans and aliens pitted against other humans and aliens. Our hero is Martin Quincy, a veteran with all the warrior skills and a berserker mode when he needs it. He considers himself a soldier just doing his job, but he is called “Legend” in several alien tongues. In the Audible edition, Marc Vietor offers appropriately grizzled narration. ( )
