At the close of the 24th century, a series of revolutions has caused the galaxy to descend into chaos. With the Galactic Union's army stretched thin, mercenary units have arisen for those who have the need - and the means - to hire them.
Captained by former Detached Guerrilla Forces Colonel R. A. "Rags" Cutter, the Cutter Force Initiative is one of the best. A specialized team consisting of both aliens and humans, the Cutters offer services ranging from combat training and protection to extraction and assassination - as long as the target deserves it and their employer makes good on payday.
When they're hired to find and rescue Indira, the soon-to-be-married daughter of Rajah Ramal of New Mumbai, the team's first task is to identify the kidnapper. The obvious suspects are insurgents who want to overthrow the rajahnate, but as other forces enter the game and an assassination attempt is made on Ramal, the Cutters realize that their in-and-out extraction job is about to get a lot more interesting - and a lot more lethal.
Steve Perry is a New York Times best-selling author who has collaborated on novels in Tom Clancy's Net Force series. A recipient of the Willamette Writers Lifetime Achievement Award, he also won an Emmy for his work on Batman The Animated Series.

I love Perry's work, and was excited to see a new (original) series out from him. I have only read the first book in this series so far, and it was good, but I only gave four stars because (unlike some of his other books), I haven't even purchased the second one yet. Usually when I start a series, if I'm really hooked, I'll buy the next book or two before I finish the first so that I won't have to wait even one day to plunge into the next part. In this case, I felt that there were too many characters competing for attention right off the bat--we aren't given a central hero. In The Man Who Never Missed series, for example, we got very attached to one character (Emile Antoon Khadaji) before we met other important players later on, and he became the "rock," if you will, that all of the others were arranged around. Though this novel's subtitle is "Cutter's Wars," I felt less of a connection to Cutter than to some of the other characters in this story. That's not to say that we won't learn more about Cutter in future books, but for now, he didn't stand out.With that said, I enjoyed the story and the action. I can get lost in Perry's worlds, and they feel "real" to me. I certainly will pick up the next installment.

The Ramal Extraction Cutter’s Wars Book 1 (Audible Audio Edition) Steve Perry R C Bray Inc Blackstone Audio Books Reviews
Classic Steve Perry narrative with crisp, in the trenches dialogue. This would make a great audio book! Essentially a Shadowrun story without the magic, but ALL the tech.
Looks like it might be a good series, Entertaining read for Steve Perry fans, not sure I would have bought it if I hadn't first read been introduced to Mr. Perry through the "Man Who Never Missed".
Steve Perry pretty much always spins a good yarn. This is typical- I call books like this mental cotton candy- they won't change your life, by you can be entertained for however long it takes you to read it. I believe there are or will be more in this series, and I will probably buy them.
Quick, empty read. The plot was much too convoluted, and the characters were inept experts at best. First rule of military Sci-Fi, do NOT make your characters the best and then have them stand around watching a duel and NOT maintaining perimeter defense. How many times did they do the stupidest, non-military thing in order to fall into traps? At least 4. End explanations were wimpy and the comeback for betrayal trite. Nevertheless, if you like a "Shadow Run" type novel it is available, but so is that series. Most definitely the author used lots of current themes for characters, even though they are terribly stale. What he did use for 'augmented' people rang definite overtones to the long out of print Hook series. Hook Whirlpool of stars (Star-spanning man of the future). That incredibly advanced augmented "boosted" man of the four book series (12 in Germany) was very much avantgarde at it's publication. Secondly, the best friend of Hook's was an androgynous sentient, very much like that used by Perry. Thanks, Harry!
I'm a huge fan of the Matador books, and I've enjoyed just about everything else Perry's written.
This book was almost as good as those were. It lacked some of the moral center that the Matador novels had, but the writing was entertaining.
There were a lot of point of view switches between the main character leads, but it was not a huge detractor.
-DA
I have long enjoyed Steve Perry's writing, with only one or two of his books not making my worth re-reading list. This book does make that list. It is not his best work, but it is a good book and a nice introduction to his new series.
the premise, of private company military teams that tackle jobs for hire is a good one and is believable in context. Not sure the aliens are alien enough, but that is the nature of SF, its hard to think like an alien because we have no experience. Still caught my interest and kept me reading all the way through the book. Have already read the second in the series and enjoyed it as well.
I'm a big Matador fan and knew ahead this wasn't in the same universe. That said, it's a rollicking good read in it's own right. The cast of characters seems generic at first, but Steve fleshes them out and makes them into as likeable cast as I've seen elsewhere. Halfway through, I thought I knew who the bad guy was and towards the end knew I was right.
Then he throws a nice curveball that makes me go "Well, didn't see that coming".
Great read and I eagerly look forward to the next one.
