Psionic Elite
He’s not here to save the world. He’s here to save his girl.
Ward Moreno never wanted to become a soldier. But after a foreign nation blew up his hometown, he enlisted in a corporate army, endured agonizing human experiments, and became the most powerful psionic soldier on the planet... only to learn he was fighting for the wrong side.
Now he’s come to the city of his enemies to save his childhood friend from the men who made him into a monster. Yet as he searches the city for her, Ward is drawn into the simmering conflicts of Valor’s Landing. He soon finds himself surrounded by multiple beautiful women who also need his help.
To protect them, Ward must tear apart the corporation that betrayed him and anyone else that gets in his way. But if he can keep these women safe, he may finally find a home... and the love he left behind.

I admit I enjoyed the epilogue:)
This was a pretty good romp. I always enjoy overpowered heroes and this one is fantastic. Conscious of his power and not a murder hobo.

This book was pretty strong, but some continuity errors made for some awkward moments.
The MC is a former super soldier with psionic abilities he went through hell to gain during a war that is now over. Having switched sides after realizing the reason he was fighting for turns out to have been bogus, he now just wants to help his childhood friend be safe from his former employers. So he goes to find her, and finds a lot more than he bargained for.
The harem aspect was pretty much women throwing themselves at him, although his childhood friend makes him wait. While that childhood friend and the hybrid woman he rescues and is barely on screen are different, the other two have very similar personalities. The MC puts zero effort into winning these women. He has only been intimate with one by the end of the book, but there are 3 others all ready to go if he even looks at them with a raised eyebrow.
There are some continuity errors that subtracted from some of the scenes. Stuff like the MC thinking they've exhausted every last iota of their psionic powers, and a few sentences (and seconds) later, he uses the last bit of that same energy to damage a helicopter made the thing be cheesy.
I will read the next book in this series, but I am a bit leery on how little effort the MC is putting into getting a harem.

Just annoying
I admit I couldn’t finish this. I made it half way before I was just ready for the “best friend” to be gone. She is the epitome of spoiled princess. Despite nearly dying and being saved by the MC at a young age, she is still just a spoiled princess playing guerrilla fighter and is a complete moron. She’s so caught up in her own bs that she treated MC like crap despite him saving her life multiple times.
MC was a complete simp too. Extremely pathetic, literally the strongest person on the planet, well according to him, but still takes shit from the idiots around him for no reason. He’s a war veteran killer, but still lets the idiot cell leader treat him like that. I just couldn’t handle the level of stupid being represented here.

Overall a pretty good psiberpunk book. Yes, I didn't spell that right, but the dystopian sci-fi theme and the MC's psionic powers reminded me of some of those old William Gibson books.
It's really closer to an urban fantasy book in many ways, as the psionics are indestinguishable from magic. Looks to be turning into a harem series, or at least it will if the MC gets his head out of his ass.
What loses it a star for me is the inconsistency of the MC. He oscillates between hard-core SF Operator and blushing schoolboy who is too shocked to accept his new reality. We'll see if he gets a clue in book 2

Could have been great, but watching all the similarities was distracting.
Would give it less than 3, but we don't punish authors. But seriously, this is dang near blatant. Let's call it borrowing from a well-known video game. There were few new things here and there, but the only thing that really felt original was the afterword.
But that just proves the cribbing was unnecessary.
Might skip this series.
Seriously, my guy, stage name Bullet? Why not give him a bar and an armcannon, too??
Where's the mako?

Good series so far!
I had seen this back when it first came out and it looked like something I would enjoy. Saw that number two would be out in January so I told myself that I would wait for when both were available. Yeah, that lasted for about three weeks, one day I decided to read one chapter and then save it. Two days go by and I had read the whole thing. So much for saving it, now I can’t wait till January.

Beautiful and nostalgic.
This was a well written book that brings back a warm feeling of nostalgia. Danny is a great author who does a great job of brining together a well written story and well developed characters. I loved all the characters and their dialogue and interactions. This book just made me happy to read. Can’t wait for the next.

Good worldbuilding, fun action. Marred by how stupid the main character is and the questionable decision by the author to include in the romance someone who deliberately uses mind control on the MC. And this is portrayed as somehow sweet or romantic, and not a HUGE, glaring red flag that should lead her to be imprisoned for life for repeated rapes.

The other characters are all morons and it's only the MC that has a lick of common sense. It's pretty annoying. The women all threw themselves at the MC pretty much instantly (no joke) so that was also annoying. Still, the action was decent, the plot was fine, and things were generally ok. But not good enough to keep me entertained - I don't think I'll continue the series.

Fantastic new series!
Danny's books have gotten better and better, and this one is a prime example. I thought the story and characters were amazing. I'm excited about the next book!

Decently written, but rather ''heavily inspired'' by Final Fantasy VII.

Good
A good story and for some reason I want to go play final fantasy 7 now. A pleasant read for sure.

A very good read. Finished it in one day. Not a lot of harem or sex in the first book but the first book is established the story and characters. Liked it very much.

It’s fine. The plot never had an original thought in its life, and Ward is comically overpowered, but it moves at a decent pace and he’s not a dick about it. Quite enjoyed.
