A Grimm Decision

Grimm's War, Book 6

De: Jeffery H. Haskell

Narrado por: Peter Berkrot

It's not the war he wanted.

Commander Jacob T. Grimm is eager to get back in the war, but when an ambassador to a nothing planet called Cordoba pulls strings, Interceptor is the convenient puppet.

Assigned to escort the ambassador, accompany the Marines, and participate in wargames with Cordoba, Jacob fears the only action will be against boredom.

He couldn't be more wrong.

A coup is brewing on Cordoba and Interceptor and the Marines of Bravo Two-Five are caught right in the middle.

Betrayed on every side, Jacob has to come up with his most daring plan yet, if he's going to save his crew and his ship.

What Jacob doesn't know, though, is an old enemy is in league with the coup. An enemy that wants Commander Jacob T. Grimm's head.

Trapped between a rebellion and invaders, Jacob can't see a way out. There may be no victory he can achieve. Attack or defend someone will die—and only Jacob can decide who.

Grim series 100 stars

this series is a must, one great sci-fi series can't wait for the next book

Solid MilSF

Grimm and Interceptor are tapped as an escort for an Alliance diplomatic mission to a neutral planet. But when you're the protagonist of the series, nothing is ever as simple as it seems.

There is some solid character work for the regulars, though I wasn't expecting a great deal, since this is book 6 of a series, so the characters are pretty well established.

The political situation on the planet of Cordoba is handled well, with multiple layers of intrigue and betrayal. And this book expands our understanding of the broader political and military situation in the world of the series.

The plot is well executed and tense, but I do question the hesitance of the protagonists to defend themselves in the face of blatant acts of war (attacks on the Alliance embassy and Alliance ships). I understand that rules of engagement can be restrictive, but this felt like a step over the line to me.

Note that the book ends at a pause in the action, so this isn't really a cliffhanger, but it's definitely not a conclusion of a storyline.

Overall, this was a solid series entry, and I would happily recommend both the book and the series.

Good Solid Mil-Sci-Fi Fun!

After 6 books, I'm pleased to report that the story keeps getting better! Haskell builds on the previous novels, focuses on the people experiencing the military life, facing the kinds of decisions those whose serve in the armed forces today might deal with, except of course IN SPAAAAACCE. A solid recommend!

Stuck between a fleet and a hard place

I love this series. This one really puts Grimm and his Marines in a tight spot.
I never cease to be amazed by the accurate military details Haskell puts in his books. It’s a lot of what makes his stories so easy to get wrapped up in.
There’s a scene where Chief sends a newbie looking around the ship for water for the “fusion plant”. This reminds me of privates looking for a pallet of “grid squares” and I laughed hard at it. Kudos, sir!

Mr Berkrot does a fantabulous job as always!

Really Enjoying This Series.

I read a lot of military science fiction and this is one of the better ones. Looking forward to the next book.
