Alliance of Outlaws

by Ben Hale

A lost weapon. A forgotten enemy. A new alliance will rise.
An old enemy has returned. Militant zealots backed by a new leader who harbors a thirst for revenge. To face them, Reklin, a retired soldier, must enter the Grand Hunt, a brutal contest where people are prey, and rival teams are culled from the best soldiers in the galaxy. On such a mission, not everyone returns.

Ero Bright’Lor, an outcast Krey noble, has a mad plan to form an alliance from the outlaw clans. If he can overcome centuries of enmity, their combined might would threaten the entire fleet of the Krey Empire. But the cause needs a leader.

Fortunately for him, a distant scavenger vessel has discovered the wreck of a drifting starship. Beneath the twisted hull of the derelict, Siena has waited twelve years for rescue. As a youth she was augmented into a living weapon, and her power has only grown in captivity…

I really loved Alliance of Outlaws. It's a story with two POV's both without even knowing it are working towards the goal. First we have Relkin an ex military man who believes that humans have rights too. And is gonna fight for 'em. And then there's Ero Bright'Lor whose been the disavowed son of a Krey noble house. And he's ready to take down the whole Krey governing body to assure that the humans equal rights.
It's a great start to a new series. Both POV's are really compelling and I recommend that you'll need to add this story to your library... Ohhhh and btw Ryan Kennard Burke did a great job narrating this book.

A great continuation of the augmented series.

I subtracted a star as whoever does his editing should go back to editor school. Wrong pronouns used in sentences, wrong name used when someone is referring to another person. Occasionally the wrong word used in a sentence (which I could forgive, if it was the only issue). If you can ignore the editing mistakes, the 4 books that I've read have created a fantastic universe to tell a great story in.

Interesting concept that is built on throughout the story. It brings a diverse cast of characters together and we can watch them develop and bring this story to life. The book has plenty of action but also threads in those emotional moments that makes the tale come to life in your mind. Definitely a story that has me wanting to read more about these characters.

The beginning of the end of the beginning

We're getting to see just how Lumineia as we've known it from back in its future came to be. The war outside the planet started here in truth. The last series started the orchestra and got us excited. Now we are setting the stage and where all of the problems came from.

Machiavelli would fit right in in this universe.

Absolutely amazing sci-fi fic.
Great characters with realistic situations and lots of action , space battles and full on melee fights.
I look forward to the next one.

Favorite Quote:

“While you’ve been gallivanting around the galaxy—” Ero was indignant. “I wasn’t gallivanting.”
“Yes, you were,” Luna and Lyn said in unison, and they shared an amused look.
“Traitors,” Ero muttered.”

Excellent books

Wonderful series of books. I've read some and listened some on Audible and enjoyed them on all formats. Ben Hale is one of my favourite authors writing stories you can completely check out from reality when reading.

awesome

I am really enjoying this story. I usually stick to a more fantasy setting with Litrpg elements, and the fact that this story has neither and yet I can’t stop reading it should be a strong indicator that it is definitely worth your time.

Amazing book and series

I grew up with Sci-fi. The characters and story line is one of the best. Read “The Augmented” first. The main character and supporting cast are amazing!

Love the story and the world that Hale has created, but Hale really needs to get a better proofreader.
