[Todd · Rating 3 out of 5]

The fourth book in the NESS series has one skirmish, and the rest of it is more of a procedural hunting for a saboteur/rapist.

l didn't enjoy this one as much as the previous entries and has a cliffhanger which is annoying.

Great Read

Since this story was part of an offshoot of Eric Flint’s 1632 ring of fire series it was easy for me to understand and appreciate the background. Bjorn Hasseler is a very good storyteller and this book can be enjoyed as a standalone novel, however reading books 1-3 in this series would provide the reader with a richer background and introduction to many characters involved. For the readers with an interest in what could happen following a 1990’s community transplanted to 1632 Germany, Flint’s 1632 series is one of the best I’ve ever enjoyed. If you like this book, you’ll like 1632 Ring of Fire.

A Good continuation of the series

Here in book four of the Security series set in Eric Flint's 1632 universe we get more adventures of NESS. This book picks up right where book three ended with one of the NESS team in the hospital Here we see the lives of the team members as they keep working to secure their clients and community from criminals and spies.

A solid offering in the 1632 and NESS series. Slightly muddled with a number of plots, but overall I enjoyed it and it's advanced the overall plot, and cast of characters.

If you enjoy the 1632 and Hasseler's NESS stories, pick it up

Great story about Security provided "Downtime"

A lot more involvement of the women using their intelligence but also their strengths. They are portrayed as equals and they contribute significantly more than eye candy.

An excellent continuation of this series

A very satisfying story with a bit of a cliff hanger at the end as they are still pursuing an elusive serial rapist and enemy agent

Hasseler has created a nice series off the main ROF thread about a Grantville security service, NESS.

well done

I enjoyed the plot. It is a little disorienting as you read it but it all comes clear in the end.
