Order of Scion #3
Gravity Storm: Order of Scion book 3
It takes a lot of luck to colonize a planet.
It will take more than luck to keep it.
Mitch Murphy used to be a Lieutenant in the Colonial Marine Corps. That was before he was invited to join the mysterious Order of Scion, an intergalactic group focused on making the entire universe a more habitable place. But the Order has enemies, and Mitch has become one of them.
After saving his old combat squad on New Terra, Mitch reveals his new abilities to the officers in charge of the colony. To some, it seems like magic, to others it’s an opportunity for their own selfish aims. As he grows in power, Mitch will be able to lead humanity in an expansion across the galaxy. But some people only see Mitch as a weapon. They will seek to control him and to seize more power than any one person was ever meant to have.
Across the galaxy, a cold, cunning alien being has been plotting to take down the Order of Scion. His trap is nearly set, and all he needs to do is coax the Order into it. He has a foolproof plan to do it, but he hasn’t taken into consideration that Mitch Murphy is the first human to join the Order. And that might turn everyone’s plans back on their heads.
Gravity Storm is the third book in the Order of Scion series by prolific author Toby Neighbors. With echoes of Star Wars, Dune, and Starship Troopers, the Order of Scion books are his most ambitious stories yet. Full of action and adventure, intrigue, and danger, Gravity Storm is a powerhouse novel that you won’t be able to put down.
Gravity Storm is rated PG-13 for mild language and violence.

Congratulations to Toby Neighbors for this amazing series. It’s extremely hard to find such an interesting( and exciting author who not only writes intelligently but also provides top rated plots, characters and excitement in the stories. I’m really looking forward to the next book.

Awesome
Truely enjoyed this book however for a group of powerful beings they don't seem to have much wisdom the human told them not to gather all in the same place especially since they weren't prepared for an attack

Awesome
I have never read a military science fiction work that wove Biblical narrative into it's plot.
Until I read these.
The Author does a splendid job with the character and plot development.

This book was okay, average okay.
Some spoilers below.
It is a mix of science fiction and fantasy and I am still a bit on the fence as to how well that works in this book.
I still like the hero. The book is fairly well written. Not great but it is okay.
The dumbass General is still there but luckily he is not too present and is not allowed to make too many shenanigans in this book.
What I did not at all like in this book is the rest of the Order of Scion behaving like complete, low-IQ, dumbasses and, thanks to their own abysmal stupidity, allows the enemy to literally wipe most of them out.
This ends up with our hero and his closest friends having to go down the lone wolf, hiding in the shadows, underdog route and I did not at all like this stupid twist. The fact that his Earth squad got pressed into working for the enemy just adds to my discontent of where the story went.
It looks like the story is going more into the lots of machinations, skulking around Hollywood drama style of story and I never really like those.
I will probably continue this series, if nothing else to see where the story goes, but right now I’m not in a hurry to do so.
