Book one of the “Frontiers Saga” was entertaining, and with 19 books in the series(! – and all on or coming to Audible), I found myself wondering what else the author had in store to fuel what appears to be a pretty successful book empire. Alas, the second book, “The Rings of Haven” wasn’t as interesting as the first book.
In the good column, we still have Jessica – the feisty, confident one-woman army whom even the male narrator manages to make sound sexy as hell. In book one, we met Jessica as she decided to give a quickie to then lieutenant Nathan to punish her date for ignoring her “nice ass”, but here she’s all guns, knives and fists. Given that she’s hetero, that’s ok with me. This series doesn’t look like it’s going to be focused on romance, or on “sex in space”. I think the genre is called “Military SciFi”, and the author writes best telling of the hi-tech battles. The characters are pretty cartoony and one-dimensional, but when action occurs it’s pretty entertaining, though after this book I’m not sure whether I’ll stick around for the entire series.
Overall, this book feels like one of those “book 0.5” background novellas than an author adds after the conclusion of a series to explain some of the history of characters or events in the main story. Here, the crew of Aurora needs food, and the mysterious green-eyed alien woman Jalea introduces Captain Nathan to Tug, a farmer living with his family on a back-water planet called Haven.
Betrayal happens, imperial forces attack and Tug ends up on Aurora.
Exchanges between self-doubting Nathan and his team of more confident execs (Cameron, the XO, Jessica and Vladimir, the Russian engineer) are often amusing. The series definitely has elements of Star Trek (the lead characters all have similarities to ST officers), Star Wars (rebels vs. imperial bad guys) and Battlestar Galactica (trying to return to earth).
Ultimately, the action on the planet just wasn’t as interesting as was popping around the universe in book one. But…the book definitely ended ready to hand-off to book three, having laid some groundwork for who the factions are and the risks of the people of earth allying themselves with rebels/terrorists.
I had to flip a coin to rate book one (I couldn’t decide between 3 or 4 stars). This book is somewhere between 2 and 3 stars, but I’ll give it 3* without using a coin. Perhaps I’ll pull the coin back out to decide whether to listen to book three!

I am really backed up on reviewing books right now. I read and the books simply remain on my currently reading list until i get around to reviewing them... so, Rings of Haven.
This is the second book in The Frontiers Saga and blatantly leads into another book. Here the empire based on Earth is out of touch with the frontier and our...heroes? are still attempting to build a society without support from the home world.
We also deal with space pirates here, an ever popular facet of space opera. All in all not bad brain candy the I'm rating just over the line into 4 star territory as it holds the interest well and tells a good story. You will end this one "needing" to move on to the next as the story is only partly tied up, so hang in there. More to come.

Aaaaa, szuper izgalmas, mozgalmas, pörgős. Az utolsó 30%-on annyira izgultam, 5 percenként biztosítottam az embert róla, hogy víííííí nagyon izgiii, ugye megmeneülnek?ugye?ugye? :)
Nagyon bírom a szereplőket, még azokat is akiket valójában nem, irtó klassz kis sorozat.

3.75 stars. Book 2 was spent entirely on and around the farms and black markets on planet Haven. Some treachery. Some battles. A few more characters joined the series. Some will be important, I think.

The Rings of Haven is the second book of what is going to be a million or so installments of the Frontiers Saga. Apparently the series is supposed to turn amazing at some point, though I'm still very much waiting for the magic to happen. This one felt too much like it was written mostly as a continuation of the previous one and a setup for the next one. Some new characters are introduced, and some incidental plot conveniently unfolds, allowing the introduction of some new characters and foreshadowy elements into the story, all of which will presumably be important in the books to come. Most of it is rather predictable, some of it is terribly contrived, and none of it is very engaging, but for what is basically a romp in space it's just decent enough not to be annoying... yet. If this is the setup I think it is, and the series will turn as good as people say it will, then I'm more than happy to allow for this book being a means to an end.
But my hopes and expectations are that the next few books is for them to be considerably better than this one was.

Picking up the pace, adding more great characters.

I think the main drawback with The Frontiers Saga books is that it is fairly light read. That is not bad in itself, I like it when there's not too much character building or lengthy background stories, but it means they I finish them quickly which of course shortens the pleasure of reading them.
That said, I really like them so far although I only gave 4 stars to this one (I gave 5 to the first book).
The reason for not getting the full 5 stars is that this one is more planet bound than the other. I prefer when the story revolves around space ships slugging it out and this one also goes a bit more into the realm of manipulation and deceit which I'm not too thrilled about.
Also, I am a bit worried about Aurora falling into the Star Trek: Voyager syndrome. The one where the ship is constantly shot to pieces but in the next episode it's magically fighting on again. I hope they actually get some solid repairs done in the next book. Not just patchwork.

This is book number two in the Frontier Saga. The Aurora and crew are stranded halfway across the galaxy. From the battles in book one, both ship and crew are badly wounded. They arrange to mine the Rings of Haven with a rental crew, harvester and factory ships, to make money to buy food and ship parts. While some of the key people are on the planet arranging for food, the Ta’Akar warship finds them and is attempting to capture or kill those on the planet and also capture the Aurora.
The book is well written. Brown is continuing to develop the characters in this book. The action is great and the suspense builds throughout the story. The pilot of the harvester ship is not only a great pilot but a real daredevil character that will add excitement to the story. New people are added to the ship that is running short handed. I am looking forward to the next episode. I read this as an audiobook downloaded from Audible. Jeffrey Kafer does a great job narrating the story.

A fast read and an entertaining series. I like the story and I also like the characters.
That is in a nutshell what one hopes to find (I do) in a series......right? Like I said , I do.
You can say that this books are a "light read" BUT...they are fun....AND they are also well written ( big plus right there).
I will definitely read the next one, like soon.

Fun novel, seems short compared to many other novels I have read lately. Typical space opera, space fights, a rebellion, evil rulers, a world for the lawless, that type of stuff. It is still a fun listen.
This story is part of a series and I will eventually get to the rest.

I was surprised that my library actually purchased the second instalment of this series, there must be someone else that suggested the addition to their online catalog too. I still don’t have high hopes that I will ever finish the series, as there is something like 19 parts and the only easy way to get a hold of them is an e-book through Amazon limiting their availability.
Took me a moment to piece together what happened in part one but once I remembered I did enjoy the story. Not quite as much as the first but it is difficult to keep the action going in episodic fiction. Sometimes you have a slower book than others, wherein a longer piece the slow parts are used to break up the action. Sometimes when a story is released this way, in parts, you end up with a part that is simply all slow.
The story still feels a lot like an episode of Star Trek where the crew interacts with a potentially hostile new world after being marooned on the other side of the galaxy, Voyager anyone. Don’t get me wrong I love that aspect of the story. I would like to know more about what happened to humanity on Earth, we still get teased with the setback to the human race but I don’t feel like we were ever really explained what happened. A couple more pieces were shared but the events still a great mystery to me.
Bottom line I still like the series. The author is talented and tells a great science fiction space opera story. If I get a chance to continue through my library I will but if not then I will probably let this one go. The price is fair, but for so many parts $3 will add up quickly and prices this story right out of my affordability range. If you have access to Kindle Unlimited, however, this story is one that you can read for free and would be a great option.

The Rings of Haven takes up right where Aurora: CV-01 left off: a ship and her crew, stranded a thousand light year, having to make friends--and sometimes enemies--in a desperate struggle to survive and make their ways home.
In a way, The Rings of Haven really feels a lot smaller than Aurora: CV-01. It's mostly about establishing a new 'normal' and introducing a few new faces. Which it does well enough, but it's nothing compared to a new world and new technologies and getting blown across the galaxy.
And once again, there's really not an ending. We wrap up a number of plot threads (getting food, really), but you can definitely feel that the series is still gearing up for the long run.
I do wonder how many books it's going to take to really fill out the Aurora and get her in fighting shape. There's only so many narrow scrapes and even more damage you can take before it starts to feel ridiculous.
Overall, still a fun, quick read though. I look forward to the next one.

Meh. I really like this book and series in theory but a couple things keep bugging me. First is a preoccupation to characterize all women according to appearance, and to a lesser extent abilities. He doesn't explicitly denigrate women or paint them as two dimensional but there's too much emphasis on looks. There's one representative conversation between Nathan and Vlad where they basically agree it's impossible for a male to make objective command decisions without being flummoxed if some woman bats her eyes.
The physics is also somewhat lacking but I'll give that a pass since the books don't claim to be hard sci-fi.
The last issue I have is with some awkward sentence structure. There are several times I'll read a sentence that goes like this:
'Nathan holstered his gun in an effort to conceal his gun.'
or...
'Vlad looked nervous as if he was nervous about something.'
It's just like the copy editor wasn't really cleaning things up during final proofing.
The characters are fun and the story was fine. I have no doubt the next 58 books in the series will be enjoyable reads too but for now I'm going to take a break from this series.

The Aurora is 100 light years from home with a minimal crew, no supplies, and they have severe damage the ship’s hull, propulsion, defense and navigation system. The Aurora is going to have to find some help if they are ever going to be able to make their way back to Earth. Unfortunately they have made a very powerful enemy in the Ta-a-karn.
I cannot believe how short this book felt. While I still feel this sense of Star Trek while reading this book, I am beginning to get a sense for how this series is different.
First of all all of the people that the crew of the Aurora are meeting came from Earth. However, it has been so long since these people left Earth; it is nothing more than a myth for many people and a hidden truth for the Ta-A-Karn. It is crazy to learn about the original settlers. It is also crazy that relatively speaking, the Earth crew is less advanced than any other people they have come into contact with. We get to meet several new and interesting characters.
Pg-13- Many people die. The description of the wounds is graphic.

I had about the same level of engagement here as I did with the first book, although, I'll admit, somewhere around the last third I really started losing focus because I started wondering if what I THINK is going on is actually going on. If it is, it's not revealed in this book; instead, we have some double crosses and defections and ... possibly some reveals? I didn't keep track of it overall.
Basic plot: the ship needs supplies. The undersized, unprepared crew doesn't know the area. So they enlist the help of some locals to find a commerce planet and get the sundries they need. But all is not as it seems! Probably. The gang make some new friends, and some new enemies.
Again, I'm liking the overall idea enough that I'll most likely keep going, but so far nothing has really "gripped" me in this series. But the stories are short enough, and the characters entertaining enough, that I'm digging it.

New galaxy .... with ... nothing new.
I couldn't finish reading book 3 in the first three books set. This series is not original, and it's just humans against humans in space. I like the rebellion plot, and there's a bit of action in this series, but the author wants to write 75 books set in the same world, with each set of books containing 15 episodes.
Humans against humans isn't my type of science fiction. It's not imaginative. This series just screams plain to me.
Yes, I did finish this book, and yes, it was good enough, but in book 1 the author was extremely vague about the Jung. He didn't explain whether they were human or alien except for one vague mention. The crew is also basically a bunch of cadets, and all the experienced people suddenly ... well .. don't want to spoil it for you. Things just conveniently happen for the author and it breaks immersion.

To start, if you haven't read book one of the series called "Aurora CV-01" you need to read that one first before picking this one up. I like science fiction with a futuristic military bent, especially if it involves future tech that I am able to wrap my head around conceptually and the author delivers on this front. The author continues his good job of continuing the storyline, and the battles on the ground and in space were good and not the over-the-top detail prevalent in many sci-fi stories. This one did, however, appear rushed in certain parts and could have used a little more editing.
Similar to Book One of the series this was one of those books I had a hard time putting down, and immediately after finishing it I immediately purchased the next book in the series.

Nathan, Jessica, Cameron and the rest of the Aurora crew are still trying to get back to earth but they need to get resources from the Rings of Haven. Can they trust the residents on this moon to allow them to repair their ship with no issues and start their jumps back to earth without the Ta’Akars being alerted?
The crew find deeper trouble and more information on the Ta’Akars as they want the technology to their jump drive. Jalea leads them to a farmer named Tug who is more than he seems as he was a rebellion leader in his earlier years. They escape a close call on Haven and now have Tug, Jalea and a few more people on board the Aurora as they continue their quest

Get past the obvious and it's worth it
Book 2 and anyone complaining about the similarities to Star Trek Voyager and the like, should have stopped after book 1, now they are just complaining for the sake of it
This time round they find themselves mixed up in a rebellion and only because they land right on top of it, literally
Nice new enemy to fight, although for the most part it's about avoiding and at the same time trying to get resources and funds to repair Aurora. A couple of new characters appear and it's obvious at least one will be of importance as the story progresses

This is the second book of the Frontier series. Ryk Brown wasn't quite able to keep up the momentum from the first book. Think of it like a symphony. The first movement is fast, and the second movement is slower. That is what this book is: the second movement.
I found many predictable things reading the book, plot points I could see early. Still, if you like the Frontier series, there is a lot of good character development here.

I am getting sucked into this saga
I learned of this series from Steve Gibson's Security Now podcast. An aside of course, but certainly will worth discovering. At times it does seem he subjects his characters to I bit too much mayhem and destruction.
The characters become increasingly interesting over time and as the plot marches on.
It is a romp of an action story.

Not the cleverest of sci-fi, this. The main characters are still wearing plot armour, and the foreshadowing is some times a bit heavy handed.
The lack of surprises takes some of the impact out of the endless struggles, you kinda wish the author would take a break and let the characters develop a bit.
Nonetheless, an entertaining read.

Great read.
This book was well worth reading. They go from jumping into the frying pan to jumping right into the fire and I mean into the middle of it. So now they have to figure out a way to steal a power weapon from the enemy to give them a righting chance. The book has a well written storyline and it all fits together very well.

This wasn't as good as the first book, but it was good enough to keep me interested. It really felt like the books sole purpose was to add more characters that I've only somewhat warmed up to by the end of the book

Interesting Series
I have enjoyed the first two books in the saga and the Rings of Haven was original enough to be an engrossing story that I read quickly. Looking forward to the next installment with interest

A disappointing continuation of the saga. If you're into witless expletives and unimaginative dialogue that does nothing but describe a bunch of futuristic gun fights for the entire book, then go for it. I think I'm done with this saga, myself.
