The great part of a long series: you see the characters evolve, you see them going from 'decent' to 'wow-I-can't-believe-it's-you'.

This is definitely a series that grew on me... I can't say the formula has changed much, over 8-11 books, but the things that used to annoy me either don't as much, or don't happen as much anymore (excessively creative swearing, etc)... definite popcorn series, as Diana would say... turn your brain off and enjoy the mindless action sequences :)

The thing is ,he really believes that terrorist are heartless assholesWho wants to enslave the west under the black banner of the caliphateRaping their pale skinned ,blonde haired ,blue eyed women and childrenI think he really believes thatI think he believes that,the west are just and did nothing wrong,I don't thing he knows 3 m died in Iraq or the support of tyranny and the millions who live in despair as direct consequence,so that oil prices and mac and chicken nuggets prices don't rise in fu...

This one was back to its former goodness, having dialed back on the revenge-porn-political-statements, and was a lot of fun. There was large forward movement in the long arc. It's notable that the story is requiring a lot of people as it continues down the long arc and I realized in this book that there are so many secondary and tertiary characters now that I can't keep track of them all. I haven't found it to be too critical, though, and just pay attention to what is happening in the story with...

Ratings are based on this being unarguably just a fun action series full of stereotypes and tropes and having no pretense of being anything but. This book was more building than action with more new characters. I was a bit disappointed some things weren't written - Barb is interesting and has been well developed, but then was put aside while new characters were followed. I'd have liked to see more of her and significantly less of the space "detail". I keep thinking Anderle loves that Star Trek h...

TOO MANY CHARACTERS! Excellent Narration by Emily Beresford (audible review).Okay so this series is good. However, the author has run a muck with adding so many characters to this series that is is now become too confusing. I am sad this has happened because I really started out liking these books. But now I can't even enjoy them anymore and I have to give up. Not only are there way too many characters a couple have the same name. Not Good, IMO. It was a struggle to finish this book.I have read/...

We Will Build...and so they shall!! Book 8 was a whirlwind as TQB prepares to go to the mother loving Moon! The moon I tell you! I post poned a date with my boo to finish reading this book! Lol!I was rather unimpressed with the build up of the Asian "Queen"...I didn't even bother to learn her name. It started with a K...lol I honestly thought that she would end by putting up a better fight, but alas Mr. Anderle probably had his sights on other very important happenings...Like Space! So, we have

According to the author this is the first book in the second arc of The Kurtherian Gambit series. This is where the series slowly starts to take on a more serious science fiction character. As can be seen from the book blurb we are now starting to talk about getting into space and having bases on the moon.I am actually looking forward to this. The Queen Bitch in space with a whole universe of baddie’s arses to kick. Scary thought indeed. However, we’re not really their just yet. Luckily the auth...

Was the Prologue necessary - NO.A good read but the Prologue was actually not only unnecessary but also spoilt the series a bit. Do we really want to know that QB makes it through all the trials just yet. No we certainly don't. Were's the fun in that? The rest of the read was great. QB Moon Base 1 is nearly a go but the trouble with the hackers is going. Not only are they targeting most countries infrastructure but the terrorists are also using it to set up strikes. Now there are even more attac...

Love the series and an apologyI don't always write reviews on books i read and after reading the author's note in this one i have to apologize to Michael. It is not because I don't like the books, it is actually the opposite! This book, check this entire series is so compelling i get to this part and just want to jump to the next book! I'm the author noted though I realized I am doing a disservice to the author by doing that, and for that I apologize. That being said I have enjoyed every book of...

Just gets better!I seriously am at a loss as to why I like this series so much. It's not the best literature, it's definitely not the book. It's down to the authors ability to capture my imagination. To tell a story that I believe in and enjoy. Even though I know it's so far out there it isn't believable. Anderle is an excellent story teller. That, I think is his secret. He invests time and dedication and believes what he writes. That is how he does it.Yes, without a doubt I am addicted. The mor...

Hooked The story keeps getting better and better the more I read. BA is definitely the type of character that packs a powerful punch.. Just love her

I am addicted to this seriesAs Michael kindly asks at the end of each book i am reviewing to share my humble opinion such as it is, I feel qualified to comment as I am a ridiculous reader lol 5 _ 7 books a week on averageI LOVE this series!! The characters are warm, flawed, interesting and varied, I love that we are them grow and develop with each new book and that it's a seamless transition from one to the next, the stories make me smile, giggle at times and lol a lot! Highly entertaining & alw...

Five stars!This is a great series! Keep on writing. The estimate of four or five hours to read this is funny. It took me about one hour. The secret to speed reading is simple.. Most folks when they read, "hear" the words in their head. It's called sub vocalizing. Almost everyone does it. But the bad part is that you can only read as fast as you can talk. When I was learning to read, I stuttered a lot, so I learned to read by looking at a word know what it meant without hearing it and going on to...

I get itOkay, so I'm grasping the entertainment factor of book eight in the Kutherian Gambit. It took eight books. I'm really just that stubborn. With the quick witty writing style of Joss Wedon from Buffy, Angel and Firefly, to Men in Black style humor and action, with some Independence Day Earth patriotism and finally Pulp Fiction and Kill Bill graphic language and gratuitous violence a la Quentin Tarantino I get it. Duh! So, I'm obviously of your generation, late forties, a fan of fantasy and...
