I really like this series, but this is the weakest one I've read. Very boring, nothing happens until the very end and even that isn't much. I gave it 2 stars because I actually finished it, but wish I hadn't wasted the time. I kept reading because the other books had been so good and I thought it had to get better.
It was a longer than usual wait for the latest book in the Delphi series, and it made me realize how much I missed the series. I had started to read a number of sci-fi books but could not get past the first couple of chapters. I find the Delphi series to be very entertaining and written to keep the readers' attention. I am a fan of Catie and think she adds a lot to the books in terms of action and carrying some of the other blander characters. Once I started reading the latest book, I could not
Another Serial EnticementThis series, which started as a classic sci-fi with found technology supported by deus ex machina when needed, has become a fairly steady teenage heroine serial. In this book, Catie successfully handles several challenges with support from her friends and family. This installment ends with all current story threads resolved and with a possibility exposed for the next installment.
The bigger the operation, the bigger the opportunity for mischief.Vague and her family are trying to secure a new source for platinum ore away from WTH sol system and realize they'll need a whole new infrastructure to do it. But there's always a smart guy who thinks its easier to steal what others make than do it themselves! Grab this great addition to the Delphi story!
Good story…but…I have enjoyed reading all the books so far. However, the author continues to preach about global warming and a few other issues. I can understand that the author has some opinions that he wants to share with the world, that’s all well and good, but the same song does get old after a while.
OkLast book lost interest after several tries. Gave three stars figure series jump the shark. When book 13 came out gave book 12 another shot. Finished both, this one better would like author to get to a stopping point and try something else.
These books are very easy to read and usually Catie has enough going on to make them enjoyable. However using numerous meetings of the McCormack clan as a way of telling the story doesn’t really work for me, I’m afraid I found them a bit tedious. Fortunately Catie does have some difficult problems to deal with on her new space station that add a bit of excitement.
I've read all of the books in this series (this one being number 13). Catie is the main character in the series and gets a little old in spots. The story gets a bot boring as the author details all the steps in building each ship and space station. Where I find the story more interesting is in the bad actors such as the Chinese or certain miners that attempt to get away with theft and sabatage. I found myself skipping through the slower details to get to the more interesting parts. In the beginn...
Mok's review1 of the worst books in the series. The premise of the book is not bad the plot line and Story is Promising. However the sexism and ginocinticty makes the story almost unbearable. This is highlighted when they characters Make comments on how it should be highly illegal for a man to get a surrogate to have children. All while glossing over in the same sentence that women do much the same thing. This is not This is not taking into account 1 of the characters who considers it perfectly
Arrrrg! Cliff Hanger!It is Bob's usual good work. He hides just enough clues to keep you guessing and shows you just enough to keep your undivided attention (I wouldn't want to play cards with him 😯).I also like the realistic evolution of the characters. Some of the story seems to drag or be redundant, but I found that it adds to the realism without overdoing it. Now the cliff hanger. They found it and --- RETURN NEXT SATURDAY for the further adventures in book 14!!! Sorry, no spoilers 😂 👴👵
One Of My Favorite SeriesPrincess Catie has just finished her assignment when her father decides that she needs more seasoning. Delphi and the planets are running out of platinum, so Marc assigns her to solve the problem. She will build and run a starbase in an uninhabited system with a lot of resources. Criminals try to wrest control form Catie. Will they put the Princess on the run? I like the action, humor, and intrigue. I look forward to the next book.
Great Science in the Fiction In my kindle version the first few chapters repeats. This story of a family who find a spaceship and reverse engineer it’s secrets to benefit mankind. By keeping it away from governments, they create their own. Really surprised that Jeff or Elon haven’t hired u to you yet.
Hey No FairI love this series it is about the whole family of people who want to make things better and not just get rich off finding an alien starship. It is thrilling to read what is going on in the series. ENJOY!
I enjoyed this book as much as the first 12 in this series . This one was a little slower but was written with multiple stories to be told. There was of course Cattie, along with the rest of the family but with so much going on this one was much more intriguing. There was the sabotage of the new station, the investigation of the US but with that its not until the end of the book you find out why. The ending was one of the best yet can't wait until book 14 is out
Delphi Forges Ahead!Catie & her family & friends do it again! This time it’s a new space station out in deep space. Unfortunately, the station is rife with sabotage. And, unfortunately, the sabotage is rapidly moving from annoying, to expensive, to life threatening! Can Team McCormack rise to the challenge?!
Very boring read. I was thoroughly disappointed.This was the absolute most boring book of the series. I cannot state how thoroughly disappointed I was in reading this book . I really hope book 14 is much better.
Yes!Another excellent read (bar the editing errors). I know people complain about the all the conversations and how slowly things develop, but -- if you really think about it -- that's how most things happen, especially when you have to deal with politics and politicians. And ... it looks like things are about to heat up again. :)
Catie and company strike again. With the greater emphasis on STEM being made to females, maybe an Ell Donsai or Catie McCormick will pop up and help us all. Until then we will read the enjoyable fictional adventures
Keep Them Coming!Book 13 is another building a new universe adventure in the Delphi world. This one has intrigue, sabotage and "can't put it down" all over it. Thanks, Bob and please hurry up with Books 14 and 15.
what was the purpose for this book?I kinda felt like the book could have been the first one or two chapters of a totally different book. If this book was never written into the series we wouldn’t have really missed any of the overall storyline! It just didn’t go anywhere or really do anything.
