USS Adams: No Escape--book 6 of the USS Hamilton Series

Captain Galvin Quintos, along with his irreverent crew, is back and facing his most harrowing enemy yet. As the battle within the Eta Carinae Star System rages on with the Varapin, Quintos is forced to make a deal with the devil, one Commander Dunft Choob. Sure, Quintos has saved the pirate world of Haven—but at a heavy price. Oblivion, the most powerful warship in the known galaxy, will be reluctantly returned to the Varapin ghouls. Pleidian Empress Shawlee arrives on the scene, bringing with her two familiar dreadnoughts, USS Hamilton and USS Jefferson, but also a new dreadnought, USS Adams—a ship recommissioned and converted to a Gilded Age luxury liner, then, all too quickly, turned back into a warship. She might not be ready for the demands of Quintos’ crew—not to mention intergalactic warfare—but there is no time to figure that out. If that’s not stressful enough for Quintos, Doc Viv is about to share something that will bring him to his knees.

Meanwhile, Captain Gail Pristy is keeping vigil over Quintos’ secret hideaway back within the Lost Tombstone Star System. She now asks just one thing of Quintos—find the Varapin transport ship Boundless Wrath, which has imprisoned her EUNF US Space-Navy crew members. While locating the ship might not be difficult for Quintos, chasing her down will be. Inexplicably, both ships find themselves within an alternate universe—with propulsion and weapons systems offline. Now, a hostile alien species called the Ziu, with many hundreds of warships, is quickly closing in on them.

Great narration.

Great narration has been used on this entire series to date. A fantastic story just got better.

This series is better than most !

I interrupted this book to listen to my favorite author’s new book . I do enjoy listening to this series and it’s in my top 10 . The repetitive nature of the stories at times takes away from what I like most about it .

Another great title.

Take the time travel out and it's a 5 of 5. The story was very compelling despite the time travel, and as always, Cronin is a stellar narrator.

Getting a bit old

At first I didn’t like the story, but I hung with it. It got better once the time travel became part of the story. Too much repetitive battles as the other books… but I suppose that it is necessary. The love interests should consummate their love. But then DON’T put Vivian in some sort of danger! Much too common.
I do enjoy the books. Please make them longer…

Great story

I love these books and the characters and the story line. I can’t wait for the next book. Love it

Very Entertaining Diverse Monstrosities

I enjoy listening to science fiction that steps outside the norm. I didn’t want to miss a beat of this book. Very nice job. Mr. McGinnis didn’t even put me to sleep when I listened. . It kept me awake lol! I really enjoyed the story, the characters and the pace. The characters are deeper than the standard science-fiction, alien archetypes . Pure entertainment, but not for kids.

Love the Series

This series is an upscale version of the Expeditionary Force series. I find the supporting characters engaging. McGinnis does tend to overly repeat of a lot of the plot / storyline. This series could easily be adapted for television. Bring on the next book!!!

Tally Ho!

Here we go again with some Captain Quintos sized Shenanigans, I'm ready to find out more in the next book.

SO DONE WITH THIS

Starting book 5 this series was getting old. The same impossible situations, and miraculous escapes, and an ending that isn't really a conclusion to that part of the story. Then this book ends right in the middle of a battle. An obvious PLOY to get you to buy the next in the series. Well it just got me to, never buy another book from this author. Never, Never, Never will I purchase another Mark Wayne McGinnis book, in fact I won't even listen to his Plus Catalog books. He's now off my wish list and on my never list.
