Oasis: Last World Volume One
When society crumbles under the onslaught of civil war, the losing side has only three run, hide, or die. The Imperial family chose to run.
Their tattered fleet of warships limps its way across the galaxy, seeking a near-mythical refuge, a world not recorded on any star chart. Unfortunately, this lost world turns out to have its own thriving pocket of humanity. And while they lack spacefaring technology, the locals aren't willing to share.
An officer of the battle-worn fleet and a young soldier from this forgotten world lead their respective people in a struggle that threatens to consume them all. A conflict stoked by those in the blind pursuit of power and others who desperately seek to hold onto it.
Oasis is the first volume of Shane Gries' epic space opera series, now in an updated and expanded edition.

3 stars. Overall book concept was good, although not completely original. The book just didn't capture my interest overly much. The numerous POVs limited my engagement with the main character(s). The author would routinely narrow his focus to describe in detail specific military engagements (which he did very well) while still leaving the principal characters two-dimensional. I'm torn about whether to read the next book in the series. Its pretty obvious where the overall plot is heading and I'm not sure whether the author's writing would sufficiently excite me.

Absolutely stunning
I spent the last 10 minutes trying to find out when the sequel would be released, cause I couldn't stop reading this book. Very fun concept and well developed characters. If you enjoyed ember wars , wars edge series , galaxies edge series , then this will be a great read for you .

Amazing, great read!
Character development and story line are superbly done. Absolutely can't wait for the next installment. This either knows his craft.

Royals only good for tv
The only think I liked about this book is you didn’t use the old cliche of it being earth they traveled too.

not my style
Not my style but it is fine for others to read. Just did not hit the spot for me. World building and approach was fine.
