Resumen del Editor

The Complete Boneyard Dog Saga in One Volume!

It’s odd the way some things work out. You expect to wake up dead, and instead, you wake up to the beautiful face of your wife. I was understandably confused. I had died…or at least I sure as heck thought I had. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not complaining. I’ve been alive for a number of years now, and to be honest…I’m quite fond of it. I just didn’t understand "how" I was alive. My name is Fleet Admiral Jeremy Riker…but my friends call me Dog. This is my story.

Be sure to check out entire Riker family nine-book mega-series, including Battleborn (three books) and Exodus Earth (three books).

Good fun

Loved all the easter eggs and the sarcastic humor on this omnibus. The only thing annoying (for me that is) was the way the alien talked at the end of the chapters in book 2.
But all in all i had great fun listening to it.

A Fun Space Opera

This is a basic space opera in the same vein as what you might expect from Star Trek … in fact the debt owed here is visible from the frequent references to ST lore (and other 20th century anachronisms design to support the author’s sardonic sense of humor). Over all, you get a fair amount of the typical sci-fi tropes and campy style to be entertaining without going too far. In fact, there are clear cut good guys and bad guys, so character development is pretty shallow, so if you don’t like the humor, this book is not for you. They world building is also not very extensive; however, the science is done well enough that the various detailed info dumps that regularly apparent are actually interesting as speculative fiction (author has done his homework here) and the military structure and interactions is “close enough” not to be totally irritating.

The primary character (Ryker … perhaps another nod to TNG) is an officer of an earth space force that is recruited to head up a battle between heretofore unknown alien races (and various AIs) after a battle crippled ship limps into the Sol system. There are several stereo typical supporting characters, including one Mr Murphy who seems to have a knack for showing up when over our team starts winning; however, the also provides an opportunity for the MC to spout various snarky witticisms and creativity as he works through each setback … in fact, that is really the major part of the fun in this story. There is a bit of a Christian flare to some of the MC interactions and internal monologging, bit it has a light enough touch that it should be fine … although if you are within that tradition, there are element of the story that you might pick up on that others will miss (such as what appears to be a celestial or heavenly civil war between two “ancestor races” (maybe angels) with the bad guys being known as the defilers … doesn’t really impact the story … but is fun to think about.

Solid Pace Opera

Boneyard Dog Omnibus by Andrew Beery is a solid space opera that captured my interest in the first few chapters, David Cruse does a phenomenal job on his performance, this is definitely worth a listen, I’m going to have to pick up Battleborn and Exodus Earth in the future to explore more of this universe.

No climax, jumps ahead with little explanation

I had high hopes for this novel. Just when you think the author is building the plot into a climax it jumps ahead and the explanation for how the characters resolved the challenge is in the alien foot notes between chapters. Also missing was how God and man fit in to the galactic society which is discussed but never in light of the obvious bigger picture with prehistoric alien ancestors. Sorry for the bad review but hopefully the author will put all his Talents to work on future endeavors.
