Center of Gravity

Star Carrier, Book Two

De: Ian Douglas

Narrado por: Nick Sullivan

Center of Gravity is the second book in the explosive Star Carrier series by Ian Douglas - and a breathtaking new high in military SF, the strongest of the science fiction subgenres.

Battlestar Galactica fans will adore this saga of ultimate war in deep space, as humankind risks its very future, battling a vast alien evil empire in order to achieve transcendence and become a major power in the universe. Douglas’ Center of Gravity belongs in every action lover’s SF library - right between Joe Haldeman’s The Forever War and Heinlein’s Starship Troopers.

Still middle of the road, but getting better

Some book series that have this type of world building really take a few installments to take off and this is one of them. This series was unveiled in 2010, which is 3 years after the original Halo trilogy concluded, and this series is very similar to the Halo universe. I have read every Halo book and know that universe well, and I would definitely highly recommend that universe over this one. However, I do love the fact that the author decided to put his heart and soul into this future-scape, and I enjoy these types of military space operas, and this is definitely one of the better ones than a lot out there that I've tried out. I will probably continue with the series after taking a break. I would recommend this book to anybody that is a fan of the genre.
