America One #6
NextGen II
Ryan Richmond has dreamed about going to space since the age of seven. Reading space updates—and seeing pictures of Neil Armstrong on the lunar surface in National Geographic—was the ignition of this dream.
At nineteen he sold his first company and employed the remnants of the Russian Space Program, three of the best space brains in the world. In his twenties he founded and sold two more companies and hired the most outstanding scientists and engineers from the European Space Authority. During his thirties, after selling his third company, he invested heavily in Internet start-ups, like Google, netting billions. Then he patiently waited until NASA’s shuttle program came to an end and contracted the best brains in the U.S. Space program, and went to Space.
Decades later, Ryan and his crew at Astermine Co. are experienced space travelers, and it is time to begin a scheduled trading route between their new base on Mars, and Earth. Each planet has treasures the other planet desperately needs, but there are a few unhappy space people who don’t want Homo sapiens on their planet.
Book VII - War of the Worlds - The finale of this series- due out August/September 2014.

Badly written, the whole series (and I’m writing this as a non-native English speaker).
Where do I begin… the way people interact with each other. Even after years of living together, it’s still “Mr. Jones”. Also, people are often “in shock” just because someone said something they didn’t expect. It’s either “Cool, yeah, saw that one coming” or the complete opposite “OMG!!! THIS DID NOT JUST HAPPEN!!!!!”. The way they interact with each other is more like people did in the 1950s, not in the 2000s and later.
Stuff like “Ms. Suzi, your report, please”, she then proceeds to give it and adds “This is the end of my report.” Seriously, not even our grandparents talked like that. It reads like a bunch of AI-generated customer service scripts mashed together into a novel.
No character development to speak of. Names are wrong all the time, for example “Mr. Smidt” for a German—clearly, this should be “Schmitt” or “Schmidt”. Then “Vitaly” suddenly turns into “Vitalily” in one of the later books and stays that way (wonders of copy & paste?).
Relationships between the generations are fluid—it’s either “grandpa” or “great-grandpa”, often switching around in the same chapter. One moment someone’s 70, the next they’re suddenly pushing 90. Apparently, time travel exists in this universe, just not as part of the plot.
I had to reach book 9 until I finally convinced myself that wanting to find out how it ends isn’t worth the torture of having to read on. Just cancelled the preorder of book 10 and added the author to my personal “Never Buy Again” blacklist.
A shame, because the premise of the story is actually interesting. If only someone with actual writing skills had tackled it.

AMERICA ONE SIX, NEXTGEN TWO
Another great epic in the America One series, It was good to see resolution to the evil president storyline and to see Earth get back on it's feet.
Really liked seeing the construction of America two , but I'm still very disappointed at the lack of pictures and diagrams , I want to see the ships. I know the books are already written but you could still publish a tech manual book , like the Star trek and Star wars publishers did. Fans would LOVE IT !
Well now it's time to buy book seven !!

Not bad, pretty good
The first and last sections are great, they could have been expanded to make another book. Again, a great story of families that you will always be with you.
