Some of you may have read my old Tales of the Acheron series. I always wanted to get audio books done for the series but couldn’t justify the expense myself. Well, thanks to the great folks at Aethon Books, my publisher for Drop Trooper and Wholesale Slaughter, Acheron is being repackaged, re-covered and relaunched with ebooks, paperbacks and audio books! The first one is out today, Acheron, Book 1, and the ebook is only 99 cents!

Just read this book and liked it. Question is this series in the same universe but set before the Drop Troopers?

It is indeed in the same universe as Drop Troopers and runs from before the start of Contact Front all the way to the end of the war.

Thanks for the information. I started reading Drop Troopers again as I wait on Acheron book 3. I saw the reference to the new ships in the second book. Great job on looking at a war from a completely different perspective while providing a new set of characters that you can enjoy. Any chance that the main characters from each series might interact?

Not during the war. But the war ends in Book 4. Book 5 on, well…there’s always hope.

It’s not officially out. The publisher released the paperback early in order to have something to link the audiobook to. ARC readers are being asked to leave reviews for the paperback in order for them to transfer over to the ebook when it and the audiobook come out. But thank you for buying the paperback and I appreciate you leaving a review!

I just read this one, which is a significant departure from Rick’s other works I’ve read. While I have thoroughly enjoyed them all, I really feel like this series raises the bar considerably. Well written, and relevant, it brings science fiction home to address current issues. In addition, its close-to-present time frame allows the reader to feel part of the story. Rick’s first person narrative is fantastic! Thanks for the great read, looking forward to jumping into book two!
