PSI Wars #1
Homecoming
Korri Fontenot left family behind on Earth a century ago to fight in a war that broke her body and her mind. Now, her great-granddaughter, Jackie, has followed in her footsteps.
First as a Marine and then as a mercenary outlaw, Jackie has made the mistake of breaking into a secret corporate lab and stealing an ancient alien artifact.
Dark forces want the artifact back.
Only Korri can save her from the assassins on her trail.
What starts out as a fight against ruthless mercenaries leads them far outside human space, and into the remnants of a fallen empire. For the artifact that Jackie stole isn’t just alien treasure, it’s a weapon with the power to restart an ancient war — a war that could bring down all of human civilization.
For fans of galaxy-spanning Military Space Operas like James S.A. Corey’s The Expanse and Richard Fox’s Ember War series.

A Great Story
While great, the story suffers, in my opinion, from an over complication of characters and of plot twists. Although twist seems an inadequate term; fracture, warp line disruption, or gravity wave rip current seem to describe better the change. Despite what I see as negatives, the author weaves a very good book which I recommend.

Undecided
This first book is like one long setup for what happens in the rest of the series. I feel almost like it could have been a prequel. And he goes fairly GoT on his characters.
But he does a good job of speculation where other authors often ignore the consequences of powerful psionics, and questions like where they get their energy given that current physics says it's impossible.
I really don't know if I want to go on to book 2 or not.

Everyone wants to live forevert
The last several books I read seem to have this theme. Maybe having bodies that don't deteriorate and endless money might make this seem a goal it wouldn't be mine. "A time to live and a time to die." IMO is needed to keep the progress going.
In this novel the great grandmother is the hero and after having made many mistakes in the past seems to be going in the right direction but will she be able to help her great granddaughter?

Slow read
First off, this story never reached out and grabbed me. It was an off again and on again type read. I'm not saying I didn't like this book just never could become vested in the read.

guy must have daughters or be in trouble with his wife
Women rule the future - men are weak and need saving - btw the chicks running the show make every mistake known - anyways I’m done with this woke author.

4.7
The author did a great job of engaging the reader in the action. Sometimes I almost got whiplash between events. Irritated by a loss (why can’t we keep everyone alive?), but pulled onto the next book. Good read.
