Ok book 9Good read, continuity is good and not excessive. Since I “found” the series, I have been pleased with the writing. My only complaint would be a few were too short. Yes, the emphasis has shifted to Space, but I miss some of the life in Delphi City. And some of my favorites had very limited page time. I can tell the author he has a satisfied and faithful reader. If I had to try to describe the books, a combination ofDavid Weber, the juvenile Heinlein, and maybe a touch of Issac and Eric F...
A Bit More FunI find it interesting that my reviews are rating better for books 8 & 9 than the earlier books. Perhaps it is as much an indication of the author’s consistency as anything else? New situations, with some of the same characters and some story thread resolutions, some continued. I’m pleased that nine books into the series the author remains consistent with character and story development. This book ends on a positive note and an expectation from the reader for the next in the series....
I admit that Catie is a Mary Sue, a character that always wins and always has the great ideas and yeah, she's a 17-year-old billionaire. And a princess. But I enjoy every bit of this series (9 books so far). I like her, her dad, her stepmom, the AI named ADI, and most of the aliens too. I like the way they are not starstruck about the UN or the "Federation of Planets." In this book, Catie is nearing the end of her time at the Academy, and the aliens are nearing the colony at Artemis. Both story
Entertaining and humorous Resumed reading this story after a year hiatus. Characters are consistent and the storyline very interesting. Descriptions of the response of the world nations parallel current history and progression of the. Delphi nation keeps you interested. Look forward to future episodes.
Another Winner!Definitely my favorite Sci-fi series. Very easy reading and entertaining. Mr.Blanton, I have to rank your work with my other favorite self published novelist, Javan Bonds. You do a helluva great job in your story telling.
entertainingNot as enjoyable as the earlier books, it is like the author is torn between writing a young adult book and an adult adventure,the main plot moves forward but the younger characters are annoying and contribute nothing,don't know if I'll read the next book.
Wonderful!How wonderful it is to see how Catie again comes to the rescue to see what the others somehow miss. While being incognito during her time as a cadet and working on her school work and observing her many other interests, Catie seems to juggle everything and does all this multi tasking so well. Yes, she has help from the computers and ADI, but it seems a bit much for this one sixteen year old. Plus she decides to start dating. This installment has really kept her busy. And I have enjoyed...
Bob Blanton has crafted a good, scientific tale of how things could develop if only certain things happened. And certain people were in the right place at the right time. Etc. Nevertheless, I enjoy this series a lot. I especially like the thought (and it had to be a lot of thought) put into the development of the city-state of Delphi. And the introduction of the alien race(s)? added to the depth of the story.I will continue to read as long as books 11 to ? remain as interesting and fun to read a...
It’s fun, even if not credible Sometimes you just like a series because it’s fun. You like the characters. Makes you feel good. And it’s just fun. That’s where this falls. I sit in two worlds. I like a fine Cabernet and a good cold beer. I like a marbled rib eye and a greasy Philly Cheese Steak. And I like hard sci fi and a good simple spaceship story. This one is the latter. Don’t over analyze it. Just sit back, turn off your BS detector and enjoy. I recommend it.
Blanton, Bob. Delphi Challenge. Delphi in Space No. 9. Kindle, 2021.Sadly, tis series seems to be running out of steam. The plot here is all over the place, The main characters seem to be just hanging out, and we still haven’t gotten into alien psyche and culture as much as one would expect. Blanton needs to rethink where he wants the series to go before he writes the next one. Two and a half stars rounded up.
Incredible Story I have no idea why this Author’s books let me slide right back into this world with no recap needed. How a twelve to sixteen year old girl genius is so captivating. How this story is so realistic yet impossible. I just know that I will drop whatever I am reading to read the next book of this series. Great Read
