Publisher's summary

"Evil hides best in the shadows, preferring to work in the darkness. It withers and dies when exposed to the bright light of truth for all to see." (Vice Admiral Jack Steele)

With the Freedom gone forever, Jack Steele is awarded a new ship and a new position. A newly minted Vice Admiral, Jack Steele replaces the functionally insane Admiral Pottsdorn as the commander of Task Force Lancer.

Leaving behind a stabilized and closely monitored Veloria Prime bound for the Terran system, their new mission is to invite Earth into the United Federation of Worlds. And the UFW Directorate will accept nothing less than success. But trouble brews on Earth, and the deep space between Velora Prime and the Terran System is anything but friendly.

An epic science fiction adventure that reaches from the surface of our familiar planet and the safety of terra firma, to the dark, vast expanse of deep space and distant empires.

Another Amazing Book!

Great story! I absolutely loved it! Aliens, Bermuda Triangle, and government conspiracies!!! Wow! This series was awesome! My only complaint is that I wish there was more. I didn't want it to end! lol It was that damn good! I'm hoping to see more from this author! Great performance by Kevin Clay as well!

Good But...

What made the experience of listening to Revenge and Retribution the most enjoyable?

Hard to say... BUT you DO have to ignore all the Libertarian Rightwing clap trap in some parts of the book. it's Paranoia Alex Jones special tinfoil hat worthy in some places...

But the general feel and flow of the story is good... and keeps things interesting if you can ignore it.

Would you recommend Revenge and Retribution to your friends? Why or why not?

No not really. Why? Because it's only decent, not worth special mention. IF you have a friend that is in to SciFi and conspiracy theories then go for it recommend away.

Which scene was your favorite?

The gunfights, in both fighters and out.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Not really.

Any additional comments?

As I said before it's a good time burner. Just treat some of the book like it's your crazy Republican/Libertarian uncle. at Thanksgiving just roll your eyes and move on.

Love Series

The characters are realistic and makes me want to a part of the crew. While a fictional story it touches on some of the issues of our time. Cannot wait for the next installment so I can see what happens next.

Third book is a nice book end to the trilogy

Would you listen to Revenge and Retribution again? Why?

I have enjoyed the characters and narration in Wings of Steele series. It is a nice throwback to the sci-fi of the 70's and the focus on characters and humor. The narration is top notch and it made the time fly by.

loved it twice

Really good!!! This is one of my favorite series. I truly believe events in this book could happen.

Wow!!!

This is a space opera to end all space operas.... Not since The Lone Ranger to Star Trek has any series of books not deserving of a top read !!! I have personally purchased the Kindle version, Audible and the soft covers just to show my support in this series!!
So just sit back and enjoy!!! I do and I have no idea how many times I have re-read the series!!!

Fun & action packed

This third installment of this series was fun and full of action. The story covers a lot of ground in a short amount of time. Unlike most space based sci-fi the written doesn't spend an exorbitant amount of time discussing how advanced technology works. That's both a positive and a negative.

great books

I liked iT all from start to finish it kept me interested the whole book

An all too believable story!

What did you love best about Revenge and Retribution?

The parallels to current events and actions provide a very believable story. The portrayal of governmental agencies and corporations and the power they project is scary and believable.

Who was your favorite character and why?

The range of characters and the descriptive personalities provide several choices, but the mysterious Vorlock was perhaps the most intriguing.

Have you listened to any of Kevin Clay’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Kevin is an excellent narrator and makes for enjoyable listening.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Sadly, I view the scenario presented as all too believable.

Any additional comments?

I believe that the universe is vast enough to actually make this all very plausible
