    Old Man's War or Kaiju Preservation Society? Something else?

    I need to pick a book before I ditch my Audible free trial.

      Old Man's War.

      Kaiju is fun, but fluff.

      Old Man's War is a great series.

      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

          If you want a long-ass series, Old Man's War.

          If you want a one-off to test the waters, Redshirts, Fuzzy Nation, and The Dispatcher are all great. (That last is part of a series, but they're very short and great on Audible.)

          Please love yourself.
