Great Read
Lots of action strong story line and likeable characters. The only thing I would have liked was more detail about the weapons and ships but aside from that its a 10

As the seemingly human and sassy AI said “ emotionally stunted assholes” do a lot of good plus some growing up. Another of my favorite key tappers that has a great way of developing characters be they, good bad or indifferent. His AI is one sassy self aware (thank the author she isn’t a flesh and blood woman) the universe wouldn’t survive. The supporting cast of cyborgs, altered humans and just plain flesh and blood people are spot on. The science is well within my realm of believability.
Now to find anther great read by this author or go slumming across my shelves.

Humanity will NEVER change…
What a roller coaster of a read. This space opera starts at a pace that gets the reader into the tale, the characters and author’s imagination.
We then build to a crescendo of a tale where, while you can ‘predict’ the storyline, the reader gets caught up in a tale of amazing imagination..
For a story where the bad guys are really bad and the good guys are understated and often missed altogether you cannot miss with this tale.
If you like rollicking space opera and stories that just build and build - grab on and have a read - it’s great.

Great Series
Every chapter in this 3 book series had the space SciFy adventures I love. The authors have this down pat. Space battles, a ship's AI that seems almost human, a female pirate that almost beats the Commonwealth, and a Space Ranger who is definitely the toughest guy on the block. Like space battles? Then you'll love this and won't be able to put it down. Haven't come across this kind of writing in a long time.

Top notch military sci fy
A trilogy you can't stop reading. The youngest son of a mega rich family chooses to skip a cushy life As he joins the space patrol. He finds doing the right often turns those supposed to in charge into question as he must decide to do what is right, not what is popular, or what he was ordered.

Will need a seatbelt
There's no brake on this vehicle. Closest it gets to slowing down is down shifting here and there. Great collection of characters, both good and bad. Tight plot and certainly no shortage of action.

🎧 - The narrator was amazing. I was not expecting to be sad during the book 3 big action sequence. Really enjoyed all 3.

Enjoyable roller coaster
Slow to start but ended up a really good read goes well with the other Tahni books and ties together nicely

It is none stop action and it keeps the guessing where you are going. I am a big fan of science fiction, and this is a real keeper.
