Each chapter is from the point of view of a character. There are many, many shortish chapters. There are also a large number of different characters, all separate, then brought together through events to importance with each other and the story. The author introduces us to the characters in a brilliant […]
When I started listening, I shook my head at how stupid some things were but then the ridiculous worked its way into a hilarious satire. I love science fiction and space opera. However, the military is unfortunately, related to the government which is the scariest thing ever. In Mechanical […]
I got all but the newest of these books at the library as Kindle ebooks. These stories are in the world of Jack Campbell’s Lost Fleet books. They start at the point where the Alliance / Syndicate war has ended and now the governments need to refocus and rebuild their economies. This is […]
This is the latest in a spinoff series. The original series is The Lost Fleet; this series is Beyond the Frontier. It all feels like one series, even one story, as each book picks up where the last one left off. I listened to every book but this one on audio, CDs in my […]
Another book I wouldn’t have picked and really loved which came from Ace Roc stars. I seriously need to consider more space opera / science fiction because I enjoy it so much. The world building is scattered into various dire circumstances. The politics and rest of the world are a shelf in the […]
This is another book I probably never would have read if it weren’t for Ace Roc stars. I would have been missing out! This is science fiction in the world of virtual reality gaming with a touch of romance and humor, a very light touch. I appreciate that it is a new adult […]

All the details for world-building were, well too many details, not enough emotional depth. And I got no emotions for […]
I waited about 5 minutes to start Alliance after finishing Linesman. I had already requested the arc after starting Linesman because I knew right away. I HAD to know more. About 92% of the way into this book, I already felt the terror of it ending and not knowing when the next book […]
I wanted to read Linesman when I got it and every time I thought of it, and finally managed to read it earlier this month. I’ve been very thrilled with many of my Ace Roc star gifts and especially seem to enjoy the space opera offerings. Linesman has space and technology and […]
I’m reading more science fiction, and what I call regular fantasy, and even space opera due to the Ace Roc Stars. There are many great subgenres in science fiction. This is sort of future / technology book. Usually I really like those, but not so much this one. The primary character is a woman […]
