Another Great Installment!

Another great installment to a fantastic Space Opera!

Outstanding job

The empire of bones saga is a brilliantly written 👌piece of work. I'm normally not one for romantic entanglements in action/adventure books; however, this body of work is quite cleverly done. I look forward to the next in the series.

Kudos Mixon!

Another great installment in a great story. Awesome characters and fantastic writing. Captivating from beginning to end. Great narration.

Another great book

Terry Mixon hit another home run with this book and was superbly narrated. The story is very believable and keeps you listening for for more. Again, I can't wait for the next book in the series to come out to see how the adventure continues.

Another Great Installment

And the adventure continues. A lot of awesome things happen in this one. But more important are all the questions that come up. I need the next one so we can get some answers


Veronica Giguere is a fantastic story teller, she makes you feel the emotions of the characters


Waiting on the next installment

Another Winner

Other than being a cliff hangering bastard, this was a great story! Can't wait for book 7!!

Love can't stop the war.

What did you love best about Reconnaissance in Force?

I am glad much of the home front conflict was resolved. Now we can get down to defeating the rebels.

What did you like best about this story?

I like taking care of sub-plots and not letting them pop up books later to disturb the main story line. This is fine with mysteries and shorter works, but it doesn't fit the grand space opera Terry is creating.

Which character – as performed by Veronica Giguere – was your favorite?

Veronica still does a great Princess Bandar. She has expanded to other female characters such as the ex-queen, the fighter squadron leader (great voice there) and the love interest/body guard for our young scientist.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

I'm not really moved by action or character play, but I do like Veronica's handling of the emotional scenes.

Any additional comments?

Fat Lady Did Not Sing (Yet)

The space opera continues. Another exciting sequel to The Empire of Bones Saga. All (most) of your favorite characters have lived to fight another day. The author is a former non-commissioned officer in the United States Army 101st Airborne Division, so the military aspect of the book seem believable. I can't wait until the next installment in the drama is produced in audible form.
The narration added to the drama.

An easy to get into space opera

If you have read or listened to any of the previous books in the Empire of Bones Saga, you'll enjoy this installment as well. The series, and this book, is a fun well crafted story, with characters that are well formed. However; this is not a story with gritty characters and a deep dive into what drives them. It is much more surfacy than that. But because it is, it can move quickly from success to success that is satisfying and lends to the charm of the series.

One of the weaker in the series, but still good

There is some exciting stuff happening in this book, but that said, it's one of the weaker ones in the series. The ups were decent rather than excellent, and even the lowest points weren't that jarring. It was a middle-of-the-road book. It just didn't seem to reach the emotional highs and lows of Paying the Price or Empire of Bones.

It did, though, introduce yet another character that I'm ready to see get fully slapped in the face. After Wallace Breckenridge and Ethan Bandar, we needed someone else to detest completely.

In this book, we get it. And it's carrying over into book 7!
