I have enjoyed all the 'Delphi' books, but I think this was the best so far. All of the books are fun to read, but at times they can be a bit disjointed. I thought this one was better and the different storylines had a better flow to them.The most important thing about these books is they always leave me with a smile on my face.
I just blew through all the books in this series (1-9 as I’m certain more are coming). As a result I am doing one review for all the books. The top item is: these books are significantly better than 95% of self-published books. Book one is by far the worst of the series and it is still okay. Book one’s main problem is that it lacks story resolution, something I hate and generally do not forgive. Here, however, the author tells a more character driven story which reduces the need for a firm resol...
Political trash dressed up as science fiction Good writing and characters except as story went on I found that the perfect people went to far to be believable. I began to dislike the pontificating and outright presentation of the new green deal and the Bernie Sanders agenda and trying dress it up as science fiction. Also the use of the US as his whipping boy just made me mad. I thought the author would pull out of his nose dive into idiocracy but he never did. Do not waste your time on this seri...
Another friendly AII love box with a strong female lead. The friendly AI is becoming a common trope and science fiction. This one is well thought out. Some of the ideas are great but the writing level is at high school. I think of it as cotton candy for the mind. A nice balance to the “the minister of the future“. One can only take so much of strong women characters running black ops from the UN to take out billionaires to save the world from pollution. Once that one gets into the story, there a...
I like this series so far as a quick read. It fills in part of the time while waiting for the next Mackey Chandler book. As an homage to Mackey's April series it is a creditable 'lite' read that speeds through many of the issue's, technology and politics that Mackey likes to spend more time on. There is a much more centrist world view than Mackey's strongly libertarian view. Unlike Mackey's books however, I probably won't be so quick to reread. 4 stars for readability if you like 'sci fi ultra-l...
Love it and I want more of It!Please tell me that you are writing book #8! This series is great. Each book gives me hope for the future! The old saying of "If it is written, then let it be done". Hopefully there are future leaders out there who are also reading these books and getting some of these ideas.
Wow haven’t read 7 books so quick in a long timeThis is now one of my all time favorite series I have ever read. The way he incorporated the nations of earth, with introducing new technologies was very impressive. I enjoyed how he made “Cat” a real person with a number of flaws. I highly recommend this book to families and a number of my kids are planning on reading it!
Awesome book! Love the entire series! I really hope our introduction to an alien civilization happens exactly like this. I laughed at Catie’s antics and the not so subtle references to our current socio-political situation. Wish we could fix it as easily as reading about it. This series is so easy to read-all of the books have been read in one session books. I don’t like to leave spoilers, so will just say if you like books that really take the “What if” question and run with it...then the serie...
Excellent!
Blanton, Bob. Delphi Exploration. Delphi in Space No. 7. Kindle, 2020.I notice that most reviewers of Delphi Exploration talk more about the series as a whole than this particular novel. I can understand why. It is such an interstitial work that you can’t say anything about it without creating a lot of spoilers for those still reading earlier works in the series. This utopian space opera (and for some grumpy reviewers, a much too liberal utopia) continues on its merry way, fixing the environment...
GoodThese are good, interesting, but they move along really fast and leave out all the little things that really draw you into a story, reads more like a series of events than an actual story, and the plotline is a bit hokey, the main character is a teenage super genius, seems like every chapter includes multiple world altering innovations, mixed in with a sort of utopian ideology. It's interesting and I'll keep reading them, but could have been so much better with a little more detail and in de...
Great AdventureDelphi is a society unlike ours. It's led by smart, well educated people who have a strong moral compass and make decisions that benefit the majority of people. Money is important to them and they are very good at making it, but it's not the most important thing to them. They take great risks and allow us to share their adventures. All the books in this series are wonderful reads that you don't want to end! I highly recommend all of them!
One for the Delphi ExplorationEverything's bigger Vague has adapted the space jump from a sesor drone to run a starship! The drones have do a covered not one but two habitual planets within half a light year of earth! One for the Paxarean refugees, one for Earth! But there are those who want things the way they used to be and are willing to kill to get their power back! The Delphi federation is experiencing growing pains with all the politics that go with it this is a great addition to the Delp
WOW!!!Well written series of books. Jumps a little time wise but going from discovery earth bound to planetary exploration in just 7 books it's still very good. Honestly think how you portrayed the global powers is spot on. Sort sad because that means we still have a long way to go if we can survive long enough. Seriously looking forward to more from the author. Huge amount of potential.
Delta in spaceThis series gets better every time I read it It is 1 of the few series that I can read more than once and I enjoy going back over and I get something new out of that every time I read it. The characters are very well thought out and exciting And the plot is very real Although it is set in space Can't wait for book 8
I love this series!Yet again Bob Blanton makes me want more. The Delphi series brings forth a great plot plan brought to life with a cast of well developed loveable characters from curmudgeon to high IQ teens, mixing day to day life with a plausible futureometry ...grab and read the whole series
Expanding HorizonsIt's a lot of fun following Mark, Samantha, Catie and others come up with solutions to problems of the day. The characters are likeable. Especially the main and ancillary characters. I like the action, humor, and romance. What will happen when Delphi meets the alien starship? I look forward to another book.
Moving Forward This storyline continues to advance, and maintains the same level of reasonable tech and mystery established early on in the series. Decent character development and while the protagonists continue to find alien tech answers for current problems, the introduction of those answers remains sustainable.
Love the story line. Having had a career in aerospace for a time, some of the concepts put forward were very intriguing. However, the socialist bent to the political aspects of the series, I found repugnant and at odds with the U.S. Constitution I am sworn to protect. Because of that, I can only rate it three stars.
Another winner keep breathingThis is another book in the Delphi series. The characters are still the same a little older and they have some exciting things happening in this book. The key person is Catie McCormick, a very smart teenager. If you're looking for a long travel good humor and just enough selfishness to make the book interesting since follow up with this next book.
