Freefall

Freefall by Craig Alanson is a great follow-up in the Mavericks spin-off series of the Expeditionary Force universe. The Mavericks and Alien Legion get involved in trying to aid a disgraced band of lizard assassins take over a planet controlled by the squids (one of the effects of listening to audiobooks is that I have no idea how to spell any of the unique proper nouns in this series

A great spinoff series that is outstanding in its own right. If you read it in conjunction with the Expeditionary Force Series, great. You get more out of it. But it's possible to read the Mavericks series as a standalone and not regret it. It's just quality storytelling and fun sci-fi.
