Story4.5 out of 5 stars 566
Frey is the captain of the Ketty Jay, leader of a small and highly dysfunctional band of layabouts. An inveterate womaniser and rogue, he and his gang make a living on the wrong side of the law, avoiding the heavily armed flying frigates of the Coalition Navy. With their trio of ragged fighter craft, they run contraband, rob airships, and generally make a nuisance of themselves. So a hot tip on a cargo freighter loaded with valuables seems like a great prospect for an easy heist and a fast buck. Until the heist goes wrong, and the freighter explodes.

Good - But not great
Reviewed: 04-09-23
The story and characters are pretty one dimensional, but entertaining.
The idea of a hidden pirate city/base is fun, I wish they
would have spent more time “walking the streets” of
the place.
The jilted lover story is a bit tiresome, and has been
done a million times before.

Pretty Good—> But a bit Young Adult
Reviewed: 01-09-23
Good premise,…with giant bugs, treachery, and steam punk machines…
My only complaint is that it was “YA”.
Nothing more an a kiss in the entire novel, and too much true love BS.
I will try the next book, and see if it matures.

Wolfgang Faust was the driver of a Tiger I tank with the Wehrmacht Heavy Panzer Battalions, seeing extensive combat action on the Eastern Front in 1943-45. This memoir is his brutal and deeply personal account of the Russian Front's appalling carnage. Depicting a running tank engagement lasting 72 hours, Faust describes how his Tiger unit fought pitched battles in the snows of Western Russia against the full might of the Red Army.

Good story- a bit over the top on the carnage
Reviewed: 12-30-21
Loved the story….
Probably mostly true….
I have a hard time believing he saw all the human body carnage that he discusses….
There are human body parts flying in almost every paragraph of this story….
No way he could roll the dice that many times, and not have some of his body parts join the flight.

I liked this 2nd addition, but found it not as good as the original one.
My issue is that everything seems to come up ‘roses’ for her.
She has the administrative girl from the bikers, she goes to
another junkyard that just happens to have every pc of weapon and
suit armor she needs, and most damning, her whole crew kills
100’s and she does not lose anyone close.
You can’t keep rolling 7’s and 11’s…….
You have to show your hero lose a few battles and people to
Have my 100% interest.

To add to the surprise, he is now a sentient computer and the controlling intelligence for a Von Neumann probe. Bob and his copies have been spreading out from Earth for 40 years now, looking for habitable planets. But that's the only part of the plan that's still in one piece.

Vaelin Al Sorna, warrior of the Sixth Order, called Darkblade, called Hope Killer. The greatest warrior of his day, and witness to the greatest defeat of his nation: King Janus' vision of a Greater Unified Realm drowned in the blood of brave men fighting for a cause Vaelin alone knows was forged from a lie. Sick at heart, he comes home, determined to kill no more. Named Tower Lord of the Northern Reaches by King Janus's grateful heir, he can perhaps find peace in a colder, more remote land far from the intrigues of a troubled Realm.

Good Story-But Cheap “cliff hanger” ending
Reviewed: 07-27-21
I was totally enjoying this book, until the end…..
The Whole last battle felt rushed, and the “Cliff Hanger” ending disappointed me
as a cheap plot to make sure you bought the last book in the series.
If your writing is good, you should not have to employ weak gamesmanship endings to
I sure we buy the next book.

Exiled from Liad after bombing a city to save it from The Department of the Interior’s infernal weapons and plans, Clan Korval has gone to ground on the back-water planet Surebleak, whose people are as untamed as its weather. The old Boss-controlled fiefdoms largely fell to Pat Rin yos’Phelium’s influence, but the world is restive, the influx of outworld lawyers, guns, and money a brewpot for armed dissatisfaction.

No one of importance ever does in this series, and it is starting to get a bit comical to me.
The Department of the Interior is starting to look like a pack of Stormtroopers, who are there just for fodder.
Way too much mind numbing Badel stuff in this one.
The Clutch and Theo were the highlights,
I give the book a C+ rating at best.

AD, 98. The bustling army base at Vindolanda lies on the northern frontier of Britannia and the entire Roman world. In just over 20 years' time, the Emperor Hadrian will build his famous wall. But for now, defences are weak as tribes rebel against Rome. It falls to Flavius Ferox, Briton and Roman centurion, to keep the peace. But it will take more than just a soldier's courage to survive life in Roman Britain.

Too Ponderous-A Bore
Reviewed: 05-26-21
The book started out well with a nice raid, and then it
Dissolved into court intrigue and too many names, legions, cohorts, principe and the rest of the Roman trappings.
I threw in the towel when a dinner went on for 25+ min of mind numbing flirting and posturing.
