Fun, escapist Mil-SF read. Starts from an unusual, perhaps unique premise. Things go perhaps too well through most of the book, which puts it in the feel-good Mil-SF category (is there such a thing?), but that's my biggest complaint about it. There are many characters in the book and only the main character is developed (though not deeply), but the others didn't come across to me as cardboard, as such characters do in so many Mil-SF titles.This clearly appears to be book one of a series. I don't...
I don't even know what to say. This is overall, a well-written book, albeit an overly long book. It is extremely text heavy and let me just say, there is ZERO actual action going on. Unless you consider some thriller spy stuff as action. The world & character building is done throughout 95% of the book, as if the authors go out of their way to make you like the characters, if not simply put up with them. This is a fairly clichéd story - outdated starship tossed over to an out of luck Captain, cr...
Hidden gem! This book just kept building and building. It far exceeded my expectations and was thoroughly enjoyable. It was satisfying long, with plenty of development, even though it is clearly setting up for a much longer story arc, it didn't feel like one increasingly common "chapter books". This is a full length novel and captures your attention all the way through. Great characters, plausible story lines, perhaps a bit one dimensional characters, but likable enough where you want to root fo...
Interesting and Entertaining The storyline has several intense moments, some fairly convoluted plot lines and good character development. The series has a strong start with lots of righteous anger fueling our protagonists. The technology is reasonable and the antagonists are well matched, if thinly drawn. This book ends with the resolution of some story threads and leaves others open to pull the reader into the next installment.
When Can I Get The Next Book!!This is going yo be a great new series that I am really looking forward to. A nation in contraction with all the associated ills for the military (think France between WWI and WWII) but there are still those with honor and determination to do all that can be done. Add in an asteroid warship and let the fun begin.
I really enjoyed this one. I felt like it did start off a little slow, but quickly captured my attention. From there, I was onboard to the very end. There were intriguing characters, a captivating plot, and enough mystery to keep me interested in seeing how it all played out. The ending left me anxious to see what comes next. This is obviously (or hopefully) the beginning of a new series.
Couldn't put it down. A great book.This one kept me up far into the night. I was not able to stop until I reached half the book. Finished it in 2 days. Can't wait for the next one. This book has continuously something going on so you never stop to think there is a slow or boring part.
Absolutely incredible!!Another great book by Chaney!!! The characters were extremely likable there were some funny moments, some sad moments, some moments where you really want to reach out and ring a certain characters neck (once you read it you'll understand). But overall the book was as always terrific I can't wait for book to and maybe many more!!!!
Ok writing ,unimaginateveI think the title of my review says it all. As to the star rating is unimportant as almost every book gets a do it and a half rating . I suspect some sort of impropriety there.anyway the writing was not bad,and it helped pad the time .so I will call it good popcorn. But the story was unimaginable and thus predictable .
Decent not amazingFun but lack luster. The core story is decent but lacks polish. Characters are one dimensional and don't make you emotionally invested in them. The universe/world building is actually interesting and helps make up for weak character development. Will finish the series but would not recommend.
worth the 5 stars..A good, fun story that left me wanting more. Great characters combine with a decent storyline to deliver a book that stands out from the crowd.You could do a lot worse that give this one a try…
Will the locust war resume? Will the last Hunter be involved? This new series from Chaney and Mixon starts off with captain Jack Ramanoff about to either be promoted or fired from the navy. The current leader wants him fired as he won't pay for a promotion, but then something surprising comes along.... Two centuries ago we were at war with the Locusts and managed to defeat with Hunter starships that were designed within an asteroid. One such ship is currently acting as a museum close to homebase...
THe Last Hunter Shall Endure! As a fan of JN Chaney and Terry Mixon, this is an excellent co-write. THe conspiracy, mystery and struggle in command powers. This book that features a flag officer with a mixed past due to family history, but did he let that stop him? Did he let the Confederacy kick him out without a fight? Well,.. I'd say no. Thanks to the help of a certain someone with power from on HIgh. He managed to become a commodore of a battle division that ended up being mothballed after t...
This started out interesting and had decant story with ok character was a bit predictable at times but that's not necessarily a bad thing.But really bugged me was technology using especially the lasers as described hear are dissapointing they are short range and only really for defence and invisible you actually made lasers sound boring & worse main weapons for long range are missiles (boring) and should be easily dealt with by enemy vessels.Hoping in next book install advanced weapons and put a...
