There were so many things st in Dead Space. Our main character, Hester, is an investigator after being on a space ship which was hit by terrorists, and the rescuing company has her in a work contract to pay for her life-saving but mediocre medical treatments. She is a talented builder of artificial intelligence but her […]
It’s the final leg of the Interdependency trilogy and things have been on a dire note since the beginning- end of humankind sort of deal. It’s for all the marbles now and I love when a book or series of books, in this case, reaches that point. I was in high anticipation to find out […]
Ballistic is the second book of The Palladium Wars and needs be read after Aftershocks, the story of a place five years after a war and the repercussions felt over six different worlds. I really enjoyed getting to see an expanded world. For instance, one of the planets, Acheron, we get to visit this time […]
I thought Finder was a standalone but lucky for everyone, it was just the first book in the Finder Chronicles series. I love this science fiction, space opera with the main character, Fergus is sort of a detective / Equalizer kind of guy. In Finder, Fergus “retrieves” a lost space ship and returns it to […]
This Stars Uncharted series should be read in order. I really enjoy this author and the first book in the series, also Stars Uncharted was excellent and harrowing.

I’m a huge fan of C.T. Phipps, so I was excited to try this new-to-me space opera. I do like science fiction, though I don’t read it as much as fantasy. This story follows Cassius Mass, a great star pilot for the Crius Archduchy. He’s hailed as a hero by some and a war criminal […]
I really loved Mihalik’s Polaris Rising so I had no hesitation in starting this Rogue Queen series. These shorter books began as a free online serial on the author’s website. The feel is similar to Polaris Rising. It is set in space with various factions, political and action battles between planets and various coalitions. Samara […]
What happens after the war has ended and everyone has hashed out the reporations and divided the booty? In Aftershocks, Marko Kloos explores this scenario as the consequences of being the losing faction in the war become clear and new little rebellions begin popping up in various areas. This was a completely easy read. Sometimes […]
I really loved Mihalik’s Polaris Rising so I had no hesitation in requesting The Queen’s Gambit. It is shorter but has the same feel I enjoyed in Polaris Rising. The action is set in space and on planets involved in various disputes. This novella was an online free serial on the author’s site. Samara leads […]

The writing style, space opera and military strategy are all here. It is a prequel series. Ascendant is the second book, following Vanguard by three years, and now Triumphant. The series could be read […]
