Koban: When Empires Collide, Volume 7

The end of the main series:

Under threat of destruction or servitude to the Empire, facing the fleets of the Ragnar, Finth, and Thack Delos, and the larger force of the Thandol, Mirikami prepares the Federation for all-out war. The Planetary Union, allied with the Federation, receives a squadron of new technology Federation Scouts equipped with gravity controlled weapons. They conduct a preemptive strike on a Thandol base. The emperor blames it on the Federation, unaware of the PU's existence, and orders simultaneous attacks.

Mirikami sends teams of Federation Scouts to the Security forces to subvert them. They carry diplomat-soldiers with tough messages. The messages are not well received, and the Kobani must improvise in their typically hostile manner.

Unexpectedly, a mystery silver alien, the Silha, demands a meeting with Mirikami and the Olt'kitapi. It seems there are restrictions for species once they achieve advanced gravity control. The Kobani are told of limits they must obey, or else. To a god-like elevated species, survival of primitives is not their concern, so long as they don't use gravity technology in forbidden ways.

After Security force fleets attack Federation and PU worlds, Mirikami leads a combined fleet against the Thandol Capitol world. He uses a new tactic that bypasses the weapons limits of the Silha. Vastly outnumbered, he faces the Thandol fleet with a great defense.

great finish to an awesome series.

great series and ending. keep up the hard work and I look forward to more.... in between other projects.

Second time around

Did not disappoint ! Exciting innovative and captivating. The volumes are long exactly as I truly like. I have no criticisms or negative opinions except that I am sad that I have again reached the last volume. I am going to look for other series written by you. I hope I can find something as intriguing as Koban. Thank you!

A fitting end of a series but not the end of a story!

I have thoroughly enjoyed the Koban series, it has it all! I look forward to seeing what the next series or stand alone books will bring.

ok. the premise was getting stretched but ok

ive enjoyed the series and the porformance is great as always, but this.book felt a little a term paper with little to no interest devellped into characters. it wrapped it up and xrossed the ts just not very exciting. kinda a whole book denounment

Koban finale

I really enjoyed this series as a whole. My only wish is that the last few books had the attention to detail and plotting points that the beginning had. There were so many characters at the end that the personal one on one faded a way a bit and with that a tiny bit of my enjoyment. The story got too big maybe? Or needed more books to tell it all? It ended well over all and I was certainly happy with it and it is well worth the adventure if you love Sci-fi. I look forward to what else the authors kicks out.

Rushed ending to a fun series

I find that I enjoyed the earlier Koban books more than the later stories. this was still a fun book, but it lacked any feeling tension. This has been a problem with the series since the Kobani became nigh invincible fighters with massive technological supperioty.

Great ending to a great series.

This book answers the unsaid question. Will the Kobani dominate the galaxy? The ending is gratifying.

Koban

Great series. Loved every book. Kept me wanting more and caring about the characters. Would very much recommend.

Truly one of my favorite series

This is one of a handfull of series that stands out clearly among the many out there. It starts with a humanity-ending tragedy and ends victorious on so many levels. I envy readers who can now read the entire series in sequence without the wait between books. This is also one of a few series that I may revisit again. I hope other readers enjoy it as much as I have. Do not judge the entire series by the narration of the first book. I almost did.

Good ending to a series

Great writing as always. I really enjoyed listening to this series. Not as good as the other books but good. I just think I wanted a little more at the end.
