About this listen
When the Colony on Hayden's world went black, a team was sent to investigate. It was supposed to be a training mission: skip in, find out the Casimir Transmitter had gone dead, report back and wait for resupply from the Fleet.
By the time the only surviving member of the team made landfall, it was spectacularly clear that this wasn't a training mission. Now Sgt. Sorilla Aida has a job to do. She has to gather the local survivors, recon the enemy, train a militia, and take the war right to the enemy's doorstep. Just what she trained for. De Opresso Liber.

So good!

The weakness is the book. It starts briskly, but I found it very hard going as it progressed. This was the first time I have not managed to finish an Audible book.
There is no depth to characters. Angry, scared, pressured - who knows? Characters smirk - they do that a lot - and occasionally grimace, but that’s about it for indications of emotion.
Spaceships hold 10g acceleration with functioning crews for long periods with no explanation of why this is possible. People are repeatedly close to tactical nuclear explosions with no real harm as long as they run fast enough. A lengthy sequence of combat has little or no drama, because you know by that time that the character will be fine, and will effortlessly overcome conveniently useless aliens.
Reviews indicate that a lot of people enjoyed this book. If you want a story that clips along briskly, has decent set piece scenes and good narration, you might like it. If you are bothered about plausibility, or likely to be distracted by repeated overuse of the same words - like smirk, smirks, smirked and smirking - then probably best to look elsewhere.

Please avoid, and stop supporting novels split into OBVIOUS tactics to make arbitrary long series for now reason.
I would've kept going, but I see absolutely no way to warrant it from this short story.
Stop giving us "20" minute stories
