A peaceful organization of civilized planets is faced with a threat to their very existence. Desperate to save themselves, they turn for help to the most brutal, backward, violent species in the known galaxy: humans.
Growing up in the aftermath of an apocalyptic event known as "The Bad Week" hasn't been easy for Cross Agarwal. Decades ago, in a world before The Bad Week, he would have been graduating from college, starting a career, and living on his own. But in a post-apocalyptic time when mankind is in ruins and on the verge of self-destruction, Cross works in his father's subterranean cobra farm, tries to avoid getting involved in the turf war between his town and the Southern Basin, wondering if his future will ever be anything but bleak.
When a group of aliens appears by surprise and invites a select group of humans to join them, it could be Cross's chance to not only find his own place in the universe, but to also help prove that humanity is good for more than just violence.

Luke Daniels als Sprecher ist wie immer erste Klasse, er gibt jedem Charakter eine eigene Stimme und Persönlichkeit, sodass eine wirklich tolle Atmosphäre voller Charme und Witz entsteht.
Die Story an hatte für mich einen faszinierenden Effekt: Auf der einen Seite könnte man negativ sein und sagen, dass die gesamte Story ein wenig vor sich hin mäandert. Auf der anderen Seite ist Brute Force eine Geschichte, die so liebenswürdig absurd ist, dass sie in genau dieser Form auch beliebig länger hätte laufen können.
Kurzum: Wer Scott Meyer's bisherige Bücher mochte, wird auch Brute Force lieben. Klare Empfehlung!

the story is based on a fairly well established trope of "humans are orcs", in which humans are viewed through the POV of more civilised and peaceful cultures, who keep getting surprised and horrified by human activity that we view as mundane. be it keeping dangerous animals as pets, fighting and killing each other, or eating meat.
the issue with this story is, that the alien cultures in this book are absolute maddeningly stupid and naive, with seemingly not a shred of self preservation instincts.
I am aware, that this idiocy is played for laughs, but my issue is that it's just completely unbelievable.
for the comedy to land, the situations that need resolving would at least need to feel natural.
and I'm really disappointed, too, because I usually like these types of stories.
but you can go on the "Humanity, Fuck Yeah" Subreddit and find decades old stories that are written just as well or even better.
the saving grace of the story was the last act, that felt a lot more "realistic", so to speak, than the rest of the book.
the comedy falls flat
