Resumen del Editor

Blackhawk: a wanderer, a man running from a dark and sinister past. A genetically-engineered warrior, a capable and accomplished killer, he is also a lost soul, a man who has fled to the deepest reaches of space seeking his true identity.

The Far Stars: the farthest extent of human habitation in the galaxy, a sector of a hundred inhabited worlds, it is a dangerous expanse full of pirates, mercenaries, and cutthroats. The sector is a rough and rugged frontier, lying beyond the darkness of the great Void, and the only place in all the vastness of space where men live free of the brutal empire that rules the rest of mankind.

Celtiboria: once the premier world in the Far Stars, now a planet wracked by centuries of brutal civil war, driven to the edge of a dark age by the unending struggle among its Warlords for power and control. Augustin Lucerne: one of Celtiboria's feuding Warlords, a brilliant tactician and a respected commander. Lucerne is something rare on Celtiboria, in all of the Far Stars...an honorable man who fights not for personal aggrandizement but to save his world.

Good story but Too much

Intro spectrum. Need too tell the story
And develop char's not go on how he feels every five minutes. Makes me want to stop and read a different book

Not really my thing…

I tend to like realistic military sci-fi and this story isn’t. The battlefield tactics are not realistic at all and the logistics are never mentioned. Too much is glossed over or assumed. Also much of the conversation between characters is redundant and superficial and does nothing to explain or develop the characters.I fast forwarded through all of that. It’s probably a descent listen for a 12 year old.

I CAN ONLY GIVE IT A C- . MAYBE SERIES IMPROVES.

NARRATION WAS GREAT, BUT THIS BOOK IS A SLIGHTLY BELOW AVERAGE READ. ... I LISTENED TO IT AT 21/2 TIMES NORMAL IF THAT IS ANY CLUE TO THE CONTENTS. THE EDITOR SHOULD'VE CUT THE BOOK DOWN, PERHAPS BY HALF.
ITS A YOUNG ADULT COMPLEXITY WITH AN "R" RATED CONTENT.
I REALLY WANTED TO LIKE IT.

OK BY ME

will wait for the next installment of this story and the further development of this wonderful character keep up this story line it's
A winner

Action inc.

Excellent characters with plenty of action. Couldn't put it down. I was in the story. Anyone looking for a good read? You found it.

great story

i really enjoyed the book. the characters and story has great potential for future stories.

Awesome Military Sci-fi!

Jay Allan treats us to fierce battles with evil villains, honorable heroes with flaws as well as virtues, and a couple of characters that fall somewhere in between who earn redemption in the end. He takes us into the noise, pain, fear, and valor in the midst of battle. He shows war for what it is: a dirty, horrifying, mind- and body-scaring clash, in which the combatants fight for varying reasons and often with inner conflicts dogging their steps.

In short, the author shows man both at his best and his worst. It’ll make you think about what our own soldiers go through and bring home with them. Hopefully, the reader will come away with a feeling of compassion for what war does to those who fight in it.

As for THIS reader, I look forward to Jay Allan’s next book and Blackhawk’s further adventures as he will no doubt continue to strive to become the man he wants to be.

Good book

I was not a fan of hearing the name 'Black Hawk' called all the time. At times, most times, his first name would have sufficed.

Good start to a series, lot of potential

Great start to a series with a lot of potential. Well worth the credit and look forward to the next installment.

great story and performance

too much switching from different storylines even tho it tied together nicely at the end
