Warship Thalamos: From Far Beyond Complete Series: An Epic Space Opera / First Contact Adventure
From reject to starship captain in 1 nanosecond
Kevin’s father thinks he’s a loser, and a brand-new rejection from MIT isn’t going to convince dad otherwise.
He goes for a lakeside walk to sort things out in his mind – and an alien ship crashes right in front of him.
With his last breath, the dying captain imparts Kevin with a chilling revelation. An intergalactic war looms ominously, threatening all sentient life. A war that Kevin, in a twist of fate, will now need to fight.
On the losing side.
In command of the last remaining warship.
The crew of the ship? All dead.
With billions of lives hanging in the balance.
So, no pressure!
The Warship Thalamos Box Set contains all six adrenaline-fueled From Far Beyond novels, and includes the riveting bonus short Red Alert, for over 1400 pages of Epic Space Opera. If the sheer joy of diving into movies like Ready Player One and The Last Starfighter left you spellbound, then brace yourself, because you're in for an absolute whirlwind of cosmic escapades with our hero, Kevin, and his faithful Beagle, Boomer, as they navigate across galaxies in high-stakes interstellar combat.
From Far Beyond is a pulse-pounding Space Opera, brimming with relentless action, endearing characters, punctuated with sparkling humor and a double-shot of 80's and 90's action movies pop culture references and nostalgia. This coming-of-age saga, with its unconventional technologies and diverse alien realms, is sure to captivate and ignite your imagination like a supernova. Take a daring leap and become a part of the adventure, today.
PRAISE FOR CHRISTIAN KALLIAS FROM OTHER
"Few people can write Space Opera like Christian Kallias! He’ll keep you turning pages long into the night."
—Jasper T. Scott, USA Today Bestselling Author of Dark Space
"In Warship Thalamos, Kallias brings to life a vivid and relatable protagonist. With a deft hand, he paints a journey of self-discovery against the backdrop of a vast, cosmic playground. This is science fiction with a beating heart and well worth your read."
—Brandon Ellis, Bestselling Author of the Ascendant Saga.

Really Fun Series
This was a really fun series. I really enjoyed reading this series. The action is pretty much non stop. The characters are very well written as well as well developed. There are many humorous moments that had me laughing out loud, lucky for me no one was around. Most of this revolves around the interactions between the talking earth dog and the space cat known as a sphynx. Most of the space ships names are from Egyptian gods. There are many references to SiFi shows and movies. I noted references to Eragon, Terminator, Star Trek, Star Wars, Babylon 5, Wizard of Oz, Lord of the Rings, and Captain America. If you are one who prefers hard science, then this is not your series. Quite a bit of science fiction and fantasy mixed. There is even technology based magic. If you are a fan of good old science fiction and fantasy then I highly recommend this series. There is a great mix of action, humor and a little bit of interspecies romance.

This is a compilation of multiple books from the series, into one large volume.
The main character has the maturity of a twelve year old... There are so many problems with this story that I will stick with the shorter list, what is right.
Main character seems to be a decent representative of Earth. The dog seems to be reasonably intelligent. The AI seems to be smarter than everyone... The bad guys are not worth mentioning.
The secret weapon is a great way to finish off the first book, NOT.
The series gets weaker and weaker as it goes along.
Good price. Lots of words for the price.
Think old serials from the 1930s, but written for a really inexpensive pulp magazine.

A Boy and His Dog 🐕
YA sci-fi👽
I like the idea of this book but the writing is juvenile. I think since the main character is an 18 year old young man, this book is directed towards teenagers. Ridiculous situations with unlikely outcomes fill each book In this complete series. As you can imagine, reading a whole series📚 like this, you notice that there is also some repetitiveness.
I got this e-book from Amazon📚 with Kindle unlimited.

First contact to World hero
A young man just out of school finds a dying space man in an extraterrestrial spaceship and is convinced to mind link with a dead alien across the universe to save a race of beings about to be annihilated. Near constant VR gaming has mad Kevin a perfect candidate for piloting the unmanned ship. This is the beginning of an adventure of epic proportions. Good Read.

This anthology is classified as a space fleet / space marine title – the categorization and number of high reviews is what led me to grab it. I stopped at about the 8% mark as I realized the target audience is really 6th grade boys. Lots of dialogue, fairly weak structure, and the “science” of the science fiction is not realistic.

For young adults
Wonderful coming of age series as a young man transitions into adulthood and all that goes with while still managing to save the universe.
The first two books were predictable and standard, but the last three made up for that. Follow tge authors recommendation about the reading order and it should be an enjoyable read.

Great reading
I tend to read quite a few sci fi opera / adventure books . This series of books should be great for pre teens. Plenty of action within the books. Quite a lot of reference to existing sci go shows of the last 50 years.

Almost good.
This could have been a good story if all of the foolish handed was left out. Also, review of each past book was a waste of time. Smiling the reviews reduced the many book series to a short story.

I read the first book in this series and I enjoy the story. It had some very interesting characters and the world building was interesting. I started the second book and I got to 30% and I decided to quit reading it, the reason is because its to YA for me.

Out of this World
This series takes you on many hair raising adventures with Kevin and his friends. It’s a new twist on a earth human having contact with alien races, plus AI technology. Great read. Big D

Too much fantasy
Started out interesting and for awhile it was fun and kinda cool. Then people started spells and totally corrupted any kind of Science fiction turning into fantasy fiction. Not my favorite.

It was a bit difficult to start this series, for some reason
Though I did enjoy the series. Definitely YA, which I wasn’t really expecting. In general, good quality writing, though the editing didn’t seem quite as good in the last volume of the series.

Should be young adult
The proof reading is better than average but still lacking a bit, especially in the last two books. Good fun read for young adults and teens. Will not strain your brain but could use a bit more sci and a bit less fi.

a tough slog
just a truly badly written series. I forced myself to read though the entire series , time I will never get back. the last books were the worst. Truly juvenile I had hoped for better.

Hey! Get your nose out of there!
This was a good read with lots of action and adventure, character's for the most part were good and stayed true. I like the stories that jump from earth to space and back with a modern touch. Great series read and would recommend it to anyone.

A fun story
Although it requires a willing suspension of disbelief at times, this is a fun book to read. Good characters and an exciting plot line makes for an entertaining book.

Wonderful space opera there seems to be many more very good SF Authors than 40 to 60 years ago and I am enjoying this Author more than most

Too much repeating
Should of only been 3 sections, each section was a repeat with only small changes. I would have enjoyed this if shorter.

Superbly written
Outstanding characters, plot, and action! Sci-fi readers should love this series.
Full of surprises, it's a hard thing to put aside and do anything else!

Entertaining...but
Too many bailouts for the main character out of thin air. Very unsophisticated writing and world building. Maybe more experience will help the writer.
