Star Force #7
Annihilation
Kyle Riggs is in for a rough ride.
In ANNIHILATION, the seventh book of the Star Force Series, nothing goes as planned. The three fledgling human colonies in the Eden System are beginning to take hold, but the forces threatening to root them out are many. The Crustaceans are calling for help, despite the fact they are the sworn enemies of Star Force. Are they potential allies, or vicious tricksters? And why are the oceans of their world heating up?
Even as Riggs flies out to investigate the situation, more mysteries arise. The Blues are making vague threats, and Earth is suing for peace. Who is to be trusted, and who holds a dagger behind their backs?

Yup another episode of not much happening, beside Kyle over acting (which is hard in a book), no real plot progression, and some shady science in the science fiction. It's like loosing at gambling...maybe the next hand (book) will be a winner?
Oh and has it not been driving anyone crazy that Kyle has been saying things like "we've been doing (insert something) for YEARS"...since book ONE. Come on, not like it's been 10-15 yrs!!! A little irritating back in book 1 and now it just makes me cringe, like the melodramatic interactions that occur 5 pages after characters have already discussed something. I don't want to give examples but if I told you I robbed a bank, then 5 minutes later you act confused about why I have so much money...these books! But with that said, I will read the next one because I actually think we'll get to some decent plot progression.

Consistently awful. At this point I'm just buying these books so they'll stop showing up as recommendations. They're just dreadful throughout and getting worse.
It does help to just accept that the main character is a d-bag. Chronically lucky, the biggest jerk in the galaxy saves it.
The only thing saving this book from a 1-star death knell is that there were some genuine surprised near the end. It's no spoiler than people die in these stories, and one death was portrayed in a way that actually brought some depth to the other characters (most of which are still awful, but with a bit more depth now), and worked well thematically. So that's a not-bad thing.

More action, a bit less story. Some drama and loss. I had a hard time buying that Sandra was caught off guard, but it wasn't outside the realm of reason.
I can just eat these up. B.V. Larson has that quick space opera formula down the way I like it. If he would spend more time with the clever scientific discoveries that the earlier books had this would have gone up to five stars....If he had not upped the difficulty facing Riggs and the Thor system it would have dropped down the three stars.
Where is he going with this? I don't know, I am just enjoying the ride.

More of the same. No story advancement. So Predictable. More stupid decisions. Lead character's flaw seems to be women. He never learns.

Dalej nie wiem, dlaczego ciągnie mnie, aby kontynuować serię Star Force B.V. Larsona z największym macho wszechświata, Kyle’em Riggsem. ;) Chyba jednak jestem masochistką, ale na swoją obronę mam to, iż Marvin jest po prostu uroczy, więc chęć poznania jego nowych wybryków przeważa zdrowy rozsądek. Dlatego też sięgnęłam po siódmą odsłonę cyklu pod tytułem Unicestwienie.
Temperatura rośnie.
"Trzy niedawno założone ludzkie kolonie w układzie Eden radzą sobie coraz lepiej, lecz liczne siły dążą do ich wyeliminowania. Skorupiaki proszą o pomoc, choć są zaprzysięgłymi wrogami Sił Gwiezdnych. Czy okażą się potencjalnymi sojusznikami, czy też podstępnymi zdrajcami? I dlaczego temperatura oceanów na ich światach rośnie?
Tajemnice piętrzą się nawet wtedy, gdy Riggs wyrusza zbadać sytuację. Niebiescy ślą niejasne groźby, a Ziemia prosi o zawarcie pokoju. Komu można zaufać, a kto trzyma ukryty za plecami sztylet?"
To była dyskoteka. ;)
Larson po raz kolejny pokazał, że wie jak dynamicznie poprowadzić dynamiczną akcję i przemycać pomiędzy wierszami odrobinę wiedzy naukowej.
Jeżeli chodzi o skorupiaki, to trochę byłam zaskoczona obrotem spraw w tej materii, ale muszę przyznać, że ostateczny kierunek rozwoju tego wątku przypadł mi do gustu. Do tego Marvin stanął na wysokości zadania, a jego akcje po prostu rozbrajają.
No i jeszcze wątek związany z Ziemią i zdradą. Tu to dopiero jest prawdziwa „dyskoteka”, a jej konsekwencje mocno zaskakujące.
Patrząc zaś na samego Riggsa, to o jego samczych popędach i zapędach można by napisać osobną książkę. ;)
Podsumowując. Unicestwienie B.V. Larson to kolejny odcinek niezłej kosmicznej przygody, z wartką akcją i fajnymi bitwami. Jeżeli lubicie ten typ literatury i nie przeszkadzają Wam tendencyjni bohaterowie, to ten odcinek kosmicznej sagi, jest tym, czego poszukujecie.

Why Do We Work So Hard On Killing Each Other?
It reads a lot like WWII island hopping as the Marines took back the South China Seas around Japan. In that war, there was tremendous loss of life for the "honor" of capturing another hill. Also, in that war there were battles lost and battles won on both sides. Eventually, Japan surrendered th the U.S. forces, thereby releasing thousands of POW's and millions for enslaved Chinese men and women. GIs each had their own motivations but the overall drive was to free China from genocide through murder and rape by Japanese forces, as well as to ensure Japan would not again attack America. Larson asks,"What if one army committed genocide of another country?" (World in this case.). What if there was no hope of winning? When Hitler discovered that America could produce Liberty Ships faster than he could sink them he knew he'd lost the war. Fortunately, the U.S. and the world did not "punish" German civilians for war crimes. After that the U.S. had "The Long Peace" that we may never see again. How much better if we could all work together to make a better world instead of working so hard on killing each other.

Reading the other readers' reviews, this is a very polarizing series. I had grown bored with it, and it took me a year to finish; essentially I put it down for that time. Even with the break, the voice of the main character is irritating - I want to like him as the story's hero, but he increasingly now comes across as an idiot in this book. I finished it only because there are some good ideas here. This is book seven though - perhaps the series has just overstayed its welcome. I want to know how it all ends up after this investment, so for now I am continuing by speed-reading (skipping sections with great abandon). I think there are better military SF series out there, and readers could perhaps be better served by going elsewhere.

“Annihilation”, seventh in the 'Star Force' series, sees the Crustaceans looking for help as they come under attack from the Blues.
The general consensus among Star Fleet is that it is high time for them to pay the price for their treacherous behaviour.
Riggs, however, overrules them and decides to wade into what appears to be a last ditch defence of their home worlds.
The island-hopping strategy of WWI is mentioned and also forms the basis for the military actions which take place in the book.
Meanwhile, the Blues, in the depths of their gaseous world, are up to no good (so, no change there).
You've gotta give it to the Macros, once they've set a plan in motion they persist until the end - it is both their strength and their greatest weakness.
3 Stars.

The series started with an interesting premise and imaginative use of nanotechnology in a massive space combat. The quality has been gradually decreasing with each book, but this one marks a major fall in my opinion. Most problematic in this book is the distasteful handling of grief and the 'swap one lover for another' attitude of the main character. On the plus side, the stakes are noticably higher in this book and perhaps it will return to form for the final few?

Kyle's an idiot and it is slowly ruining these otherwise amazing books for me. For a military historian albeit an amateur one the mistakes he constantly makes just has me rolling my eyes so hard U get headaches. Also if he could keep it in his pants for five minutes that would be great and definitely get less people killed.

I really like this author but not for this series. I tried to read them all but got bored by the story. I did not finish this book for I have too many of the boos that I love to waste time on this series.

Finality.
Good to find some finality in this one. Won't reveal more as spoilers. Looking forward to next one unfortunately I read synopsis of a next series book so I know something of the future I advise against doing that though...

Nothing sophisticated, just an interesting, imaginative space adventure with intriguing characters. Escapist Sci-fi that doesn't strain the brain but also doesn't insult your intelligence. I'm reading all of his series of books.

I don't want to blame the fact that this book was recommended to me on Audible as a first book in the series too much, but can't say I was impressed with it.

Getting a bit boring. Still interested enough in the premise to keep going
August 17, 2013
Little late in getting this review done. Don't know why I didn't write it up earlier. Still, this book follows right along with the previous books in the series. Colonel Kyle Riggs has built himself a battle station right in front of a gate he knows the Macros will come at him someday. On the other side of that gate happens to be three planets occupied by some very arrogant Lobster people. They are allies to the Macros only because they don't see the Macros as a threat to themselves. As long as they mind their own business, then they believe the Macros will leave them alone.
Of course, Riggs tries to convince these Lobster people that they are just puppets of the Macros and the Macros will take them out when they have no further use for them. But the Lobster people are stubborn and do nothing even after they are attacked by the Macros. The lobster people finally start trying to defend themselves and assist Star Force.
Unfortunately, it's too little, too late? Read the book to find out!
The writing is pretty good with some imaginative new weapons and equipment. I would think you'd need some good stuff to survive a few hundred nuclear bombs! Of course, no one in Star Force can think or do anything except Colonel Riggs. He's got the dumbest bunch of chicken staffers I've ever read about. They all should be fired or better yet, shot! Riggs has to do everything and that's just stupid.
Riggs does suffer a major loss in the book. It's going to take him a long time to recover or will he just really get dangerously mad? An interesting twist to the story line and one that I knew or wished would happen.
It is getting a little tiring to hear Riggs have to tell everyone in Star Force what to do and when. He's a micromanager even though the author tries to explain away some of his actions.
It should still be a good series to continue to read. Highly recommended.

I simply cannot get enough of this series. It is definitely in the small group of my all time favorite military science fiction books. Of course because they come out so quickly, you can jump straight in without being plagued by the gaps that form in your memory when some authors make you wait years for the next book.
I love the action, the characters, the aliens and the difficulty in communicating, I like the ever deceptive Blues, it is just a great all round book and I just want the series to continue and continue.
My only small gripes (which don't affect my 5 star rating) are that there is a bit of a lack of character development this far into the series. It was there in past books, but I am not seeing it now and I really think the author needs to kick this into gear a little to not lose readers down the line. I also think that if the author lets star force build bigger and bigger ships to the point where they will win every conflict (which is where it looks like it is going in future books), they will defeat their foes and end the series, this is something I dont want just yet!
Also, just another small one that I dont agree with, I really think Mr Rigs should not be promoting basic soldiers into major positions of command simply on a whim or because they showed initiative in a single engagement, this is not realistic and goes beyond a simple battlefield promotion scenario. If it happened in real life, this could really get people killed if the wrong person is promoted without the actual ability to command. Please tone this down, I know it is fiction, but still, the military still needs to be real.

Genre: Military Sci Fi
IN GENERAL and RAVINGS: This is book 7. There's no way I can sum up what has happened so far. I've rated each book in this series 5 stars and it's become my standard for military sci fi. I constantly search for other series similar to this, but nothing really comes close! Do yourself a favor and go buy book 1 in the series called SWARM and get on this crazy ride.
SUMMARY: This is the first time I cried (at work like a lunatic) while I was listening. Jokes are always made about Rigg's Pigs and we all know by now how dangerous things are. Danger that comes not just from the Macro machines, but from "Emperor Crow" who has seized control of earth and has always been a thorn in Kyle's side while he's fighting for the lives of ALL biotic creatures in the galaxy. Danger from misunderstanding from other biotic creatures like the Crustaceans, those lofty lobster intellectual snobs. This book heavily involves them and also some emissaries from earth with less than honorable intentions. Something really bad happens. I knew it had to happen sooner or later and I was devastated, enraged (at Crow and the Macros).
ANIHILATION: The Macros have taken things up a notch, that's all I can say. and The Blues are acting shady as well.

B.V. Larson's Star Force Series reads like a diary of a man who's seen and experienced too much. Kyle Riggs started the saga kidnapped by an alien spaceship. Slowly, through luck and cunning, he twisted the alien technology to his favor. By the time "Annihilation" takes place, he's mastered multiple technologies, faced down innumerable threats and cordoned off a sector of space for a small but successful colony of humans and centaurs, a race he helped save from destruction. Larson could have left the series there. Riggs causing limited trouble in his mountaintop retreat. But Larson is at his best chronicling action. And in this novel, he doesn't disappoint. The irritating Crustaceans have contacted his people and may be in trouble. They betrayed Star Force in the past. They aren't to be trusted. However, Riggs senses something afoot. He also wants to band every "biotic," or living creature, together against the onslaught of the machines. Star Force does what it can. But the machines have outmaneuvered Riggs Pigs once again. This stuff is addicting for action oriented readers like me.

I absolutely love where Larson has taken this series! In terms of story advancement, world building, and the human interest he builds up is just wonderful. When you become personally attached to characters in a book series and profoundly feel and anticipate the emotions they are experiencing well, that's when you know you are reading something special.

Kyle Riggs is a hilariously awful commander and leader. He continues to threaten demotion/promise promotion arbitrarily, gets petulant and whiny should any of his staff (whom he doesn't trust and constantly overrides) dare question his increasingly erratic and ill-thought out orders.
It's thoroughly unclear why anybody follows him let alone why any woman has sex with him (except insofar as he's CONSTANTLY hitting on his subordinates, including within MINUTES of the death of a woman he allegedly loves).
I want Kyle Riggs to die.
(on a positive note, the prissy culture of the Crustaceans are an enjoyable addition, constantly deducting "points" from humanity's "intelligence score" with every interaction).

First, let me say that I positively love this addictive series. Having said that, this is the first book that didn't really grab me. Don't get me wrong, I liked the book. To be fair, the previous books were addictive reads that I didn't want to put down. I would stay up until 2 or 3 am until I was exhausted enough that I couldn't read further. This one took me about four days to complete, and was not so addictive that I was compelled to stay up reading beyond my bedtime.
If you like military SF, then this series is a must read.

Summary: Quite enjoyed this, the premise just doesn't work, the characters are all pretty unpleasant, but the plot moves along briskly and plenty of action. The crustacians and blues feature in this book.
Plotline: Not well thought out but moves along very nicely, plenty of action. Some huge weaknesses so best to not think too hard about this plot.
Premise: No, just doesn't make sense, well may be a bit more than it did
Writing: The characters are all too one dimensional. Some poor editing/inconsistencies creeping into this volume.
Ending: Plenty of action
Pace: Never a dull moment!

What can I say? Hook, line and sinker. I can't stop reading this series, it is easily the most enjoyable series I've ever come across and so easy to read as well. The writing is as smooth as a baby's bottom with the odd spelling mistake that I wish I could take a star off for but I can't. Mr Larson has me well and truly hooked and all I can ask is the obvious question. When will Earth be liberated, oh and when is the next book out?

Book VII of this series is indeed astonishing. The line between winning and losing is turning unclear. That's exactly what I perceive as a real war. In this war, politics is swaying the directly of the war, and lay down a bomb with a long fuse, which could be triggered and let to whatever out of my expectation. I'm imagining what will be the fate of the Lobster, and how civilization is evolving to address the inter-species conflicts.
I'm anxiously waiting for the audio version of Book VIII.

This is one of the saddest and maybe most honest Star Force books so far. As the title implies, there are some significant deaths in this chapter, both who and what. We are also introduced to some new characters and made more familiar with some previous minor characters. The battle scenes are always well written, but aren't as much of a factor in this book. Colonel Riggs spends more time as Star Force's diplomatic leader which is an entertaining expansion of his character.

How many more times can this dolt be manipulated by an attractive women? I'm not sure if it's more insulting toward men or misogynistic toward women...ok I'm sure its both. Then he gets smacked and punched and kicked by his 'girlfriend' for it...and that's somehow never addressed either.
It makes each book less and less enjoyable...50/50 odds that I only read the next book if I can find a used copy for a buck.
