Story4.5 out of 5 stars 227
Earth in 2064 is politically corrupt and in economic decline. The Long Depression has dragged on for 56 years, and the Bureau of Sustainable Research is hard at work making sure no new technologies disrupt the planned economy. Ten years ago, a band of malcontents, dreamers, and libertarian radicals bolted privately developed antigravity drives onto rusty seagoing cargo ships, loaded them to the gills with 20th-century tunnel-boring machines and earthmoving equipment, and set sail - for the moon.

Anarchi capitalists build society on the moon. Anti woke themes. Good characters and accurate science without tedious explanations so common to the genre.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 150
Roland Tankowicz wasn't even legally a person anymore. The aging cyborg had never really recovered from being betrayed and enslaved by his superiors in the Army, and the final insult of being permanently classified as "defunct military ordnance" had been a bitter pill to swallow. Now, he spent most of his time drinking beer and working as a fixer for the crime families in 25th-century Boston. It was easy money if you were the kind of guy who was bullet-proof and could pick up a house.

Promising beginnings

Tedious, extensive filler, incomplete book
Reviewed: 06-22-21
This series NEVER moves. Never. MC sits around whining and doing his weird yoga training. Characters whine at other and say "were in this together", "you can do this" about 1000 times.
You never meet the "enemy", you have no idea why they do what they do. There is only one action sequence which is short and poorly done.
This series seems like a larger book split up into tiny chunks to get more revenue. I stayed with it for three installments hoping something would happen. Just more whining and yoga training. No depth at all to the plot, really it's still undiscernable after 3 books. Why are the Mara doing what they do, what are the competing values.
The characters pretty much all have the same personality, they aren't interesting or quotable, they all say the same things repeatedly. They all whine constantly.

An AI overseer and a human crew arrive on a distant planet to salvage an ancient UN starship. The overseer is unhappy. The crew, well, they're certainly no A-team. Not even a C-team on the best of days. And worse? Urmahon Beta, the planet, is at the ass-end of nowhere. Everybody expects this to be a long, ugly, and thankless job. Then it all goes disastrously wrong. What they thought was an uninhabited backwater turns out to be anything but empty.

Nathan fillion is amazing.
Very funny, like skippy if skippy was sophisticated and never repeated his jokes.
Plot isn’t that complex but with writing this good, who needs plot.

After witnessing the murder-suicide of his parents as a child, Noah Wolf suffers from a form of PTSD that has left him without emotion, without a conscience, and without the ability to function as a normal human being. With the help of childhood friends, he learns to watch others around him and mimic their behaviors, in order to conceal the fact that his mind operates more like a computer that he has spent years programming. That program is what allows Noah to pass himself off as normal.

This is horrible. All these 5 star reviews have to be fake
Reviewed: 11-04-19
The hero overcomes no challenges, it all works perfectly the first time. No enemies ever threaten him. The big finish is poisoning a guy in a bar which goes perfectly smoothly.
He most boring dialog ever. The most boring story ever. I cannot understand the reviews on this, they must be purchased from India to generate sales on amazon. This is a terrible book no comparison to Flynn, Reacher, orphan 13, grey man, etc.
literally it is impossible for a book this bad to have so many good stars, there has to be fraud here somewhere.
I read all kinds of crap on amazon and I’ve never read a book this bad.

Aliens exist...and, as it turns out, most of them aren’t that friendly. Jacob Brown wasn’t even born yet the first time they attacked Earth. He was only 14 the second time it happened. When Earth finally came together and fielded its first spaceborne military, Jacob didn’t hesitate to volunteer. Serving aboard a mighty starship, he’d be able to defend his planet - and his family - when, inevitably, they came again.

Same pacing and feel as OF. Chapter 11 and chapter 12 were out of order in my app, this needs fixing. When narrator says chapter 12 skip forward one to get chapter 11 then skip back.

Okay story, Narrator has serious issues
Reviewed: 11-04-18
These stories are okay, but this narrator just ruins it. He has a speech impediment for words with T in the middle, sounds like a little kid. Detonate becomes "deh un nate". Can't pronounce words like "strafe" and "analyst".
How in the world does someone like this get hired to narrate a book.
