Nice recovery

The prior book IMO was not very well done. This one returns to the highest star level.

Building to Something Great!

This book stands on it's own well and is a necessary building block to a final showdown with the baddies in the series. Be prepared to pick up the next in the series to see this final showdown in action. If you've gotten this far in the series, you know you're hooked anyways.

A page turner

I have enjoyed this series. I had chosen to read Ryk Brown’s books because he is a local author. Many years ago my mother suggests that I always attempt to read authors from our area. I have done that over the years but now with e-books and the machine that our local book store has that prints books up while you wait more local people are writing, some good, some bad and some are great. For avid readers like me it’s exciting to have access to such an array of books. Ryk Brown is one of the self published Amazon e-book authors that has gone on to great success.

This is book five in the series. In the last book, Aurora arrived in Corinari in bad shape and the second in command, Cameron, needing a hospital. In this book the people of Corinari are helping to refit the Aurora and install newer more sophisticated technology.

I found it great to see how Brown has developed our key protagonist, Nathan Scott, from a rash know- it- all young man into a mature leader. Brown is also taking this time to develop the other members of the crew. It seems that Brown is using this book to develop the characters more and further flesh out the plot. While Aurora is being refitted the crew is helping in the defense of Corinari. It appears that Nathan and Corinari are forming a new alliance of planets in the Darvano system to rebel against the Ta’Akar. Toward the end of the book the Aurora’s repairs are completed and for the first time she has a complete crew with volunteers from Corinari and allied planets. Aurora and new crew is test when two Ta’Akar warships arrive it system and battle begins. Brown writes good space battle scenes and seems to improve with each book.

Needless to say the book is well written and moves at a good pace. The suspense keeps building and the reader knows that a big fight with the Ta’Akar is coming. Jeffrey Kafer does a good job narrating this series. Kafer is a voice over artist and a 2015 Audie Award finalist for audiobook narration.

awesome

very intense from start to finish. very intriguing and exiting. I very much suggest it. can't wait the next book

Didn't see that one coming!

In Rise of the Corinari my deductive skills were a sad 50-50. I knew that the Aurora was being used by two people. Each one meeting the Cap-
Tain in unrelated circumstances and each one anxious to roll the crew to their proposals. That's the part I was right about. After that, I was not even close to who was a white hat and who wore the black ones. I spent a good deal of my listen hollering at my IPad , "You're kidding!!"
Of course I was blindsided by two of the best to create an audio book ,
Brown and Kafer. One writes the magic and the other reads the magic,
proving they're word wizards of the 1st Order! If you play the" I've got it figured out" game with your listens, this whole series, to date, has been the best! Try it!
