Resumen del Editor

Tanner Malone is starting to enjoy his navy post in the honor guard. After surviving violent conflicts with space pirates in the void, he hopes to stay out of the stars for a while. But when the government of Archangel, a prosperous Union state including four terraformed worlds, makes a dangerous decision to defy the Big Three's corporate dominance, war threatens the galaxy.

The interstellar fighting escalates, and duty calls a reluctant Tanner to the front lines, where it becomes more and more difficult to tell the difference between politician, pirate, and protector. When secret intel reveals a vast network of bloody covert operations, along with a rigged economic system that enslaves its members, Tanner finds himself at the perilous intersection between the government, the Big Three, and pirates who will stop at nothing to remain free.

Fascinating story line

This was an incredibly addictive read. This is not a "fast read", however the author puts so much background into the story that it totally pulls you in and keeps you wanting to read on, much to the detriment of my sleep while enjoying the story. Like it a lot.

Amazing 2nd Book

Normally the 2nd book in any series sucks when compared to the first book. But with Rich Man’s War I believe this to be a excellent continuation of the story.

clifi ending

it is great sequel however it's a cliffhanger ending very makes it feel unsatisfactory compared to his other works

Audios a lot better

The tones og the audio is still a bit off but a huge improvement goodwork

This series gets better and better

Yes, it's a middle series book. No, it's not boring. This series impresses me. There's a hidden depth to the plotting, the characters are well developed and not static, the politics are more mature and the description of corporate intrigue are given more thought than the generic corporate bad guy in an SF novel. Oh, and the battles continue to be fast paced and brutal.

Excellent follow up

I very much enjoyed POOR MAN'S FIGHT so I was interested in picking up the second book. This is really where the main story arc begins with relations deteriorating between the Big Three megacorporations and the Archangel system.

The Big Three want to have a short but victorious war against them due to the latter defaulting on all its corporate debts. Tanner has moved up to being a Master at Arms and hopes to stay out of the fighting but we know that's not going to happen. I really enjoyed this book, significantly more than the previous one, and think the space fleet action was every bit as good as the ground stuff.

We also get some more development of Casey and his "peculiar" relationship to the Archangel system.

Excellent follow up/conclusion (?)

An excellent follow up to the original. Great work Mr. Kay. I was not expecting this series to be as good as you have made it. Great stroy.

It kept me listening

I enjoyed the story, characters and narrator. I listened until my ears ached. Worth the price and time.

A good book two

Similar pace similar style Similarly enjoyable a complete story or 2nd installment it's all good.

Non Stop Action

Similar to the book one of the “Poor Man’s Fight” series, heroes and villains struggle for control and leave behind a path of corpses through space. Hard to believe anyone is left alive for the series finale.
