Captivating and addicting

Those two words are right on. The book was fun as things were happening in several locations at once. Now on to The Expanse.

Action packed story

This is book six of the series and it is best to read the books in order. As the story ended in book five with Aurora chasing a Ta’Akar warship into Ta’Akar space, book six has Aurora fighting deep into Ta’Akar space taking the war to the Ta’Akar. The Aurora is fully manned and equipped for the first time in the series.

The story moves at a lighting pace with lots and lots of action, suspense, great land battles and fantastic space battles. Brown continues to build his characters. Cameron, the XO, is now back on duty after spending book five in the hospital recovering from a serious battle injury. Cameron is great in command of the battle command and communication center during the battle of the Ta’Akar home planet. We learn more about Tag in this book as more is revealed about who he is.

Brown’s writing seems to improve with each book. He appears to be a promising new military sci-fi author. Brown kept me on the edge of my seat throughout the book. This series is a great get away from it all book; it is a quick, fun, entertaining read. I had the feeling that the series was ending with this book but apparently there are more books available to read in this series; cannot wait to start the next book.

Jeffrey Kafer does an excellent job narrating the book. Kafer is an award winning audiobook narrator.

Another fantastic military sci-fi from Ryk Brown.

I highly recommend this and every previous member of the Frontiers Saga. I recommend this series to all of my friends and coworkers if they show even an inkling of interest in sci-fi and even to some of those that don't.
And now on to book 7. :)

Another home run

What a great addition to the series. I love watching these characters grow almost like watching your children grow into adults. This series started with young almost teenage mentality characters and now they have grown into full fledged adults. They are not perfect and make mistakes but you see them learning from their mistakes through every book. I can’t wait to listen to the next one.
