The Battlecruiser Alamo has struck a crippling blow to the Cabal Fleet, and can at last start on its long voyage home to the Triplanetary Confederation. For its commander, Lieutenant-Captain Daniel Marshall, there remains a piece of unfinished business, however. Twelve of his people, captured in battle, now held deep inside enemy territory. Mustering a volunteer crew on board a stolen starship, he launches a mission to find them and bring them home, no matter what the cost.

Richard Tongue is a really frustrating author, for most of this book I thought it was easily the best in the series so far and then I got to the last couple of chapters. I really hated the ending, which is why I have given only 2 stars.

Good reading!

I’d suggest getting rid of the continual saboteurs. They’re growing old fast. Their military does have excellent Intelligence & Security.

Lots of fighting here

Another great read! But a cliffhanger of an ending? Dang! Gonna have to get the next one to find out how the adventure continues!

Boring, Plodding, Unimaginative, and Poorly Written

Book 8 continues the poorly constructed "Battlecruiser Alamo" series. The eBook author, listed as a "Mr. Tongue," has limited concept, an inept writing skill set, incompetent editing, absent proofreading, and the arrogant gall to publish commercially uncooked eBooks for mass consumption.

After reading the first book of the series, there was potential merit in the storyline, and like most SciFi readers, I was willing to "overlook" the many errors, flaws, blemishes, and outright faults, that were obvious, in the hope the author would hone his writing. This has proven to be a forlorn hope, as once again, Book 8 clearly indicts the author. The book is another rehash over everything from before, simple plot turns, different locations, but mainly the same.

Book 8, the series, and the author are not recommended.

Read fully via Kindle Unlimited.

Holy cliff hanger!

Adventure is non-stop! A fun read. Just a bit tiresome that everyone is fighting over who gets to sacrifice themselves, but a minor issue. Great series!

I enjoyed this instalment better than the last

Good story, nice change of pace and direction. More cliff hanger endings. Great quick read and fun to see the characters unfold
