Star Keeper

Galactic Shield, Book 4

By: J.N. Chaney, Scott Moon

Narrated by: Mark Boyett

When a ruthless crime syndicate takes over a declining neighborhood on Razik-doom, Lieutenant Benjamin “Breaker” Wrath is sent to lead a multi-jurisdictional task force.

The Razik Police Department does things just a tiny bit differently, and so do the local criminals. Some things never change, however. Extortion, kidnapping, and murder are the intergalactic languages of lawless bullies, and Breaker knows exactly how far he’ll go to protect the innocent.

But is this just a criminal enterprise, or something more diabolical? When Breaker discovers a new mind control drug, that coincidentally kills non-Raziks, he knows the stakes are even higher than justice for the people of Razik-doom.

If you loved the Last Reaper, Renegade Star, and the Galactic Shield series, you’ll be on the edge of your seat with Star Keeper. Do your part to save the galaxy today!

well done wuth regular plot twists

interesting likeable characters whose roles in the actions were appropriate. Also enough cheerful humor to balance the violenve

Best book of the Series !

Great Job with bringing the Breaker team back to what they do best…

Breaking the Rules to protecting the innocent, killing everyone else. Reaper will be missed.

Not as good as 1-3 but enjoyable.

Book 1-3 were all 5* to me. However, something was off in the 4th book. The story was nice but way too americanised, it felt out of place for that universe. Examples: School shootings, really? As non American I spend 0 seconds per day thinking about this, I know it's an issue in America but literally no other country on earth faces that, and I doubt we would take that habit to space.

Then there is the coffee in the diner on an alien planet. Like did the authors ever travel outside the US? Coffee for dinner, or like served as refill isn't even a thing outside the US but somehow that same American habit exists on an alien planet? Totally breaks immersion.

Then the protagonist wonders why kids are outside alone, it took me minute to realise that that's apparently not a thing in America? Totally normal in Europe or Asia.

The list of ultra American themes goes on. Not enjoyable.

And the Mark Boyett why did you change the Gloassars (is that how it's spelled?) voice? That threw me off.

All in all still enjoyable but a noticeable decline. I still have high hopes for any future parts! More of the crew, more scifi and scifi crimes and this will be excellent.
I still love Yolo, the voice is excellent and her character amazing, even if we hear very little of her. I'd really like to taste her Lasagna!!
