Great Series again by Glynn StewartI am a fan of Science Fiction and Glynn Stewart. His book was exciting to read. Full action and intrigue. Looking forward to jumping into the next installment of the series. If you like interstellar travel and space battles from a well written author, you will enjoy reading this series.
An engaging tale, though at times blatant and heavy-handed (especially in its foreshadowing). But, I must admit that I find it riveting to have a tale where major characters represent a wide variety of backgrounds. Yes, the Captain and CAG are white guys, but from the imposing dark-skinned XO to the honorable Amerindian enemy and the Asian chief engineer to the non-trivial representation of gay, transgender, and bisexual characters, the author shows that multi-faceted characters can be represent...
Really enjoyed this one as well, looking forward to the next installment in the series- and to the next Starship's mage book coming out in the spring! I like the writing and pace, and the author somehow creates main characters that I find likeable and interesting to follow.
I'm quite happy with this series. It's not necessarily deep, but it's enjoyable. Sort of like the big summer super hero movies: you don't go watch them looking for nuanced drama, you just want to enjoy the sometimes slight absurd story. Obviously all fantasy / sci-fi requires some suspension of disbelief and violates real-world rules for more interesting scenarios that follow the fictional world's rules. But the fictional world should have some explanation for why things are the way they are. In...
Full of action, very similar to the 1st book. Although, this time the crew of Avalon does have a seemingly undefeatable foe, which felt too artificial.Still a very good book. I had an avg. of 2 weeks/book before. This one lasted 2 days. Tells a lot.
Overall, not a bad story, but the grammar would have some of my grade school teachers turning over in their graves no doubt. I listened to the audible version, and I have to assume some of the typos were reading errors, but there's no way for me to be sure of that of course. In any case, the story was a little weak, but otherwise, a rather enjoyable read. The first 4 chapters spent time describing various pieces of tech, instead of telling a story, and I'd wager that will turn some folks off, bu...
The Hubster and I are having a blast (pun intended) reading this series! The pacing in this second book was much better than the first. Since we were already familiar with the technology and other world building issues, it allowed the author to jump right into the story. We really enjoyed that the plot carried an edge of mystery and political upheaval. These books are filled with action packed, well written battle scenes and creative science fiction technology. The book could easily be given a f...
Good, but too much repetition I enjoyed the book, by this time there was less about the characters which I thought was disappointing. There was also a lot of repetition about how the weapon me and ships work. It was all explained in the first book, repeating it now is just filler.
Very enjoyable, well written book.This book and series thus far are well written and very enjoyable to read. The story presents senereos that are believable and for the most part make what appears would be good military actions. The ommissions present make the story flow better and keeps the action fresh. This is a good book to read and enjoy.
Great second installment for the series.Only reason i post 4/5 stars is the reader not only knows who the traitor is early on but almost every character present in the first book should be able to as well. For crying out loud we already know who gave the order to kill them and defame them.Despite that "Stellar Fox" is a great addition to a series i will surely keep reading. ;)
BetterThis second book is definitely better than the first, the author's got a better feel for the characters. My only issue is the the 'bad guy' is a bit obvious very early on. But we're not provided a reason for not suspecting them until almost two-thirds of the way through. But I've enjoyed this book enough to go on to the next one.
Glynn is obsessed with describing race but only if it's non-white. The stories are fun though sometimes the battle scenes can be tedious. Characters are interesting but there are few if any gay male characters but Stewart does like to spice it up with the occasional lesbian warrior. The gaze in the stories can be obnoxiously white cis- gendered heterosexual but still tells and engaging story.
