3.0 out of 5 stars Redleg In Space #2
Reviewed in the United States on August 17, 2020
Verified Purchase
This second book of Redleg In Space series picks up immediately at the end of the first book. Zade discovers the ship he has been given is more than it seems and may provide him the means to further his mission. After escaping a last minute attempt to kill him, he begins to build a crew to help him with his mission, to protect Earth from the two alien superpowers. If you enjoy the series Omega Force, you will like this.

This book continues to have a couple of plot holes and events are rather too convenient for the hero. The editing is the worst, but readable. But I like this kind of story, so I put up with it. It is okay ( 3.5 stars?).

5.0 out of 5 stars I like where this book is going
Reviewed in the United States on July 26, 2020

Reading the first book on this new series, I really felt for Zade as a main character as he was ripped from his home planet as thrust into the role of Head of security on an explorative ship run by a collective of aliens who aren't really what they seem. Right at the beginning of this second book in the series we see just how badly that collective called Unity try to screw him over.

So it made sense that Zade would need his own ship, crew and a badass loving AI. With only buckets full of power (and rua energy) but needing galaxy's full to even begin think about saving his own species back home on planet Earth,it makes sense that the author went the direction he went. Zade is given the guys of what he needs now its up to him to build with what he's got.

I've read other sci-fi books that use this theme (collective death energy) and they are good, but so is Resurgence. Also, not as violent.

Five stars and looking forward to the rest of the series. Hoping we see more diversity of action and more locating and different people groups packed into each book. One scene per book just isn't enough so don't be stingy please Mr Author!

5.0 out of 5 stars Really good follow up!

This one gets even wider than the first!
Honestly, as much as I enjoyed the first book this one made me feel like 'NOW the smack is being laid down'!

New crisis' to deal with that are interesting and well crafted.
New characters introduced and they're awesome.
The interactions between characters is great and if you have a military background you'll probably smile or chuckle now and then as you read and think 'Yep!'.

I had a great time reading this one and look forward to reading many more in the series.
This guy writes a really fun story at a really good pace!

I do have two small cons though:

1) Little too much time spent reading about the Rua Working. It's a Great idea, love it and...also constitutes the only slow portions of the book.
2) It boggles my mind that some ground pounder wouldn't use the Rua Forge to make a Still first and foremost lol.

Great Book.
Great Series.

4.0 out of 5 stars Again not original but fun

I did enjoy this book and eagerly awaiting more but there were some issue's. The MC is becoming OP with his gifts a bit to quick. Though the book provides that he is not invincible the forge etc. Freebies are making it easy. The whole dead energy forge thing is not original but I hope the way it is utilized is. Though I enjoy the series I don't want cookie cutter or cloned stories. The author is good about adding some history to his characters to increase there believability and do hope this trend continues. Interested to see where the romance goes if there is any as there seems to be plenty of interest. I don't mind harem or mono but hate beating around the bush teasing forever. Looking forward to more book.

4.0 out of 5 stars How Redleg got his crew
Reviewed in the United States on October 20, 2020

This book is a much easier read than the first part of Alex Zade's crash course in intergalactic exploration as an accidental astronaut. Some writing issues have stayed the same, but in much lesser extent. The story has a better chance to sway the reader and does this quite admirably, making me a sure buyer of the next part when it eventually is published. I hope Mr. Dean can get the writing underway soon.

The main character finds both positive and negative influences by the advanced tech he gets from the supposed death trap of a spaceship the Chancellor gave him to get him off the Unity's core. One very positive thing about the ship is the AI who even facilitates better understanding between crew... because these people really have had some communication issues. And then there is the extremely slow burn romance that is getting along rather promisingly.

5.0 out of 5 stars Loved it

It's always great when the second book is as good as if not better then the first. I've been anxiously waiting for this book and I was not disappointed. The story is awesome the characters are complex and real. I love that everything doesn't just work out for the mc and the crew. They work hard fight hard and have genuine emotions that are put out there for us to experience with them.
I can't wait for book 3

The more that I read of this author, the more I want to get. I've now finished the 2nd book in this series and I thought that it was brilliant.
This storyline has really grabbed me, and I am really looking forward to the 3rd book in the series. It was exciting, thought provoking and well written. I am absolutely standing in line for the next book in the series...

5.0 out of 5 stars Will be buying the next book

Going to buy the next book. I wish it were available for pre-purchase, I'd get it now. I don't give a flip if it's going to be about space cats, dogs, geese, or hamsters. The author is squaring away a vet buddy. He's got my money already.
