The Lost Warship #4
Justice
The enemy crouches at the door, seeking to devour.
Major General David Cohen must accept the truth. It’s only a matter of time before the nanite swarm obliterates all life in the galaxy. With irrefutable evidence of the swarm’s devastation, David convinces twin alien worlds to join the Terran Coalition in exchange for technology that might save them.
An almost impossible task.
Master Chief Rebecca Tinetariro is charged with molding lifelong, bitter enemies into comrades in arms to fight for their collective survival.
But her efforts appear hopeless.
While orbital shipyards are built and raw materials mined, David, the CSV Lion of Judah, and her battlegroup embark on a mission to a technologically advanced civilization to increase their chances of a successful strike. But the hubris of first contact with alien worlds has finally caught up with him, and intervention to save souls from a crushing regime demands a heavy price for justice.
Because the Lion has met its match.

Justice in another Galaxy.
You can't beat a good story about, an honorable man in command of a starship in a strange place. The commander (General) maintained his moral compass and his prayer life which guided much of his management style. This concern for others is also commendable. Romance is also in evidence, but down played, although you are rooting for them all along. This is a must read for sci to fans. It would make an excellent miniseries or movie.
You should read & judge 4ur self!

Still not home
They might not be Star Trek fans but The Prime Directive idea keeps popping up it seems like everytime they meet another race the temptation to ignore TPD just keeps rearing its head. The crew of the Lion of Judah only wants to find a way home but as they traverse this system they keep running into problems. New allies that hate each other and can't work together, new races that aren't what they seem but could their resources and tech help The Lion of Judah get home?

Once Again David is Forced to Fight another Alien Species
Once Again David finds another Alien species, and this one could be the most dangerous that he has encountered. Almost seventy percent of the population lives in a computer created world that is like paradise. But the other thirty percent live in virtual slavery serving the needs of those who live in the simulation.
David makes the decision to help the unfortunate slaves. His decision could cost the lives of everyone on the Lion of Judah!

Always Hope.
Interesting that there is always new ways to get in trouble. Also, it’s great that new characters get introduced to the storyline! The one thing that stands out is that, at first, is it friend or foe? The whole trust but verify stands out yet again. The other factor, how do you deal with technology superior to what you have? Sorry, but no giveaways here.
Thanks for the enjoyable read!

Ripped from the headlines....
Gibbs does a great job of tying today's problems, quandaries, etc. together with the human experience hundreds of years in the future. I.E. "...words are violence.." Religions putting aside their differences to push back against the anti-religious. Protecting children. AI and VR meshing into the netsim. Just a fantastic book.

Another new race, another skirmish as David Cohen tries to find the means to get home. The weight of taking his people into combat again and again wears on him but now he someone to share that with. Daniel Gibbs again introduces Pvte Waters. Is he Hashem? Read the novels and form your own opinion.
Can't wait for Resolve to be released.

Good read.
This was a good book it kept you glued to it turning pages just to see what happens. They end up on a pretty advanced planet and end up in a very bad war in space and on land . They lose some military personnel along with some of the plants people including children. They end up taking a good bit of damage to a few ships and they are starting to run low on ammo.

Has me wanting more
I've been reading this series and hate when I come to the end of a book. I'm enjoying the escape of a good story line that is keeping it believable, well as much as sci-fi is believable. Thanks to the author.

Inspiring!
A thought provoking novel that allows a soul searching journey into what makes us human beings, and asks of each reader to examine what they would do when faced with the ultimate moral dilemma

good story.
Good story but will have to admit at times was a bit hard to get through some chapters. Would like a bit more on what the Milky Way galaxy is doing in finding a way for them or to find them.

I'm really enjoying this series.
The religious references do not affect me at all, as it covers all Earthly ones and some alien; all believing in a higher power. The battle scenes are very intense and consuming. I'm glad I stuck with the series.

Sci Fi space opera at its finest
Finally, an author who gets it. This series is highly addictive and immersive! The series is similar to Star Trek Voyager and Battlestar Galactica, only written much better. Amazon should pick this series up to replace the Expanse.

Very good battle scenes
Enjoyed this book the depiction of the battles were most realistic and engaging. Created a fast reading environment as I did not want to break up the pace of the battle.

Religious torture
Full of praying, preaching and religious angst and guilt. It's not a bad story line, but the introspection gets old vey fast. If you can get past the god botherers, read it.

Pages
I didn't like that there were so many pages missing. The book was great as usual, but the missing pages disrupted the story line

great space opera
This series of books is always a pleasure to read. It has a strong religious stripe and its interesting that it doesn’t promote one but allows for them to coexist

A good read, getting a little "samey" with the interference in other cultures?

Another fight for right with another species
Not sure advocating peace, why David keeps on picking fight with alien species in the name of what he or humans think is right. But that is life. Everybody fights for right and wrong as per their perspectives.
In this book, the quest for finding suitably advance civilization to help fight against nanites, humans found another civilization who prefer to remain confined within their simulation pods. But as usual there were certain population required to remain outside the simulation to cater for the needs of those inside. And then this story proceeds.
Its quite interesting to see how in space fiction stories are influenced by the reality of human civilization. For example, the autocratic governance and how certain humans look at it is prominent in this book.
