I just finished The Vengeance, the twelfth installment in Ryk Brown’s Fringe Worlds Series, and it’s another gripping chapter in a saga I’ve followed since the very beginning. Brown continues to prove himself a skilled storyteller, deftly weaving suspense, humor, and compelling human dynamics into his narrative.
This episode stands out from earlier ones: the Aurora faces off against The Vengeance, a warship with equal—or possibly superior—firepower, commanded by the ruthless Captain Jorim Perona. Perona is a formidable new antagonist, and I have no doubt he’ll resurface in future installments. The story’s ending delivers a chilling jolt, leaving readers with a sense of unease and anticipation.
Having followed Brown’s work from his debut, I’ve grown attached to his characters—they feel like old friends now. Their evolution across the series adds emotional depth that longtime readers will appreciate.
I experienced this book as an audiobook from Audible, which runs seven hours and thirty minutes. Jeffrey Kafer’s narration is excellent, bringing the story to life with nuance and energy. His performance adds another layer of enjoyment to an already engaging tale.

The Free Fleet's rangers are establishing themselves, saving worlds from pirates. Capt. Nathan Scott has his ship, the Aurora, pretty squared away. And the Ghatazhak are becoming accustomed to their role as all-around protectors and mission backup. Yet, the challenges continue in Ryk Brown's space serial The Frontiers Saga Part 3. In "Vengeance," Scott faces the former chief of the Korsan pirate empire, returned from the dead through cloning or possibly synth recreation. And he's irritated. Brown builds the episode slowly, filling in details his fans crave about the creation of a new society in space where people are allowed the freedom to pursue their lives without worrying about some new raider coming to steal their wealth or end their lives. I was excited Brown released another of his novels and read it over three days, trying to savor the details. Of course, now that I'm done I'll have to wait patiently for the next installment.

Episode 3.12. Vengeanc
Again another action pact adventure with Captain Scott and the newly formed Rangers. Fyi Brown has woven the story of the Rangers and their first missions with the new colonies, and with the Aurora and crew dealing with a cunning and ruthless Pirate Captain who is dead set against the others pirate clans not joining him in his pursuit of ruling the known universe. Will he come back with another powerful ship and fight Captain Scott and crew again? Wii the talks between Captain Scott and the President of the Alliance be fruitful? We'll see in the next chapter in the adventures of Captain Scott and his crew aboard the Aurora.

my fave sci-fi series
Seems like we have 42 books in this series. This one doesn’t disappoint.
The head of the Korsan is back, with a powerful warship named Vengeance. He blames Nathan Scott. In this book we deal with his threat, continue development of the Rangers, and explore better ways to deal with the Jung battle platforms.
And we look for a new service for the free fleet.
Lots of fun.

By far my favorite science fiction series!
This is by far my favorite science fiction series. The characters all seem to have the correct blend of humor, skill and intelligence to fit together perfectly. I also enjoy their interactions with each other as much as the stories.
Please, please continue this saga Mr. Brown.

Can Ryk Brown Write Bad Sci-Fi?
I do not for a second believe he can, especially where it involves Captain Scott and the Aurora! I highly recommend the Frontiers Saga series to any gender or age group. The hardest part of enjoying this series is setting it down before it’s finish!

it kept me going
Once again Mr. Brown did it … to short as is my often heard refrain but well done. The plot on this one keeps going. I never would have thought he could keep my attention 38 or so chapters oh that’s books .

We finally seen communication with the alliance get started!
The story is now starting to p
ick up. The pirate factions are fractured but gathering to form unities of strength. More interestingly, the alliance finally communicates with Captain Scott. Such a fun series.

Another fantastic, fast paced entry in the series. The major problem with this series is that Ryk can't write them fast enough!! Enjoyed this one and am looking forward to the next one.

The Alliance makes overtures
The Korson fleet is under attack by Jorim and the Alliance President gives Nathan a device to track the Vengeance. Also, the Aurora continues to protect the outer colanies.

Another great episode in the Capt Scott / Free Fleet saga. My only complaint is it’s a bit over-priced, I’m my humble opinion.

Great chapter as always
I am not sure how he can continue to churn out such good books regularly but his was another one of them! The ending was a big surprise as well.
