Spineward Sectors #7
Admiral Invincible
Another day, another set of problems for the Spineward Sectors’ youngest Admiral.
Fresh off the battle of Aqua Nova, Admiral Montagne & Co. find themselves navigating uncharted waters, surrounded by ‘allies’ who seemingly have little interest in the Multi-Sector Patrol Fleet — or the safety of its people.
Determined to avoid having his people used as human shields in the fast-approaching final conflict with the Droid Tribes, the Little Admiral will have to dig deep into his bag of tricks to have even a prayer of coming out ahead when the final tally is made.
But with a parricidal cousin and mutinous former First Officer off negotiating an unthinkable truce on his behalf; an increasingly depressed and bitter Chief Engineer grappling with his place in the universe; a wife who seems to think this is the ideal time for a momentous, life-changing event to take place; and a ramshackle fleet with far less throw weight than he would have liked to take into battle — one that’s manned by a severely undertrained crew — what could possibly go wrong?
It’s all just another day at the office for the intrepid crew of the MSP.

About the author
Luke Sky Wachter
21 books91 followersHey there guys. This is your friendly neighborhood Author, stopping by for a quick biography. As you probably guessed my name isn't Luke Sky Wachter. It is true that I'm publishing under my Son's name. As you can probably guess from that little factoid, I'm a huge Sci-fi buff, having named my son after such an iconic figure and all that.
For more information on the status of my current projects and general updates you can find me on:

Not sure if this link will work but: https://www.facebook.com/search/group...
I've also put up a picture of myself and the real Luke Sky as well as the rest of the fam. Hope you all like the new pictures I tried to add!
For anyone who says the name is cheesy, what can I say? It probably is and I published under it anyway, out of love for my boy. For anyone who says the name is completely unrealistic, alas I have the birth certificate to put the lie in such assertions. Sorry guys but there is at least one father out there crazy enough to actually go saddle his kid with such a name and as a result there really is a living breathing Luke Sky Wachter! He's just not me. hehehehe But some day he'll be able to look back at what his dad has done and know I was proud enough to use his name.

Another good one
Another good read, again basically one long continuous battle scene. Think this is the second one I've read in this format. I prefer the others with more story and character interaction and development I think, but the battles are always great. Well written witty dialogue plenty of humorous moments the battles are always intense with many twists and turns, all in all more of the same.

The story continues...
To be honest, it took me awhile to get back into the swing of things with the continuing adventures of "The little Admiral." I'd just come of reading a huge compendium of Werewolf novels so, I imagine, you can see the mental shift required to get back into this series.
That said, this book was a fine continuation of the Spineward Sectors novels. But overall it seemed a little bit weaker than prior books. Even so, there was plenty of action and the usual witty repartee we've all come to expect. If you are a fan of the series, by all means to put and get a copy. You'll love it. If you are new to the series, backtrack and start with the first book - "Admiral Who - Spineward Sectors Book 1"

Good read
This book was a good read, but not as fast paced as I like, or should I say it's not his usual style. I really like this series but this one had its ups and downs. I still recommend it and it sounds like the next one will more than make up for any let downs . Than again it could be just me being picky about series I really get into.

Another winner
Another great book in the series, it's hard to put down. Also caught a quote from "the patriot," see if you can find it :)

Another good read
The Admirals adventures continues. But the biggest battle is still to come. Will we see the little admiral come out on top?

I enjoyed the intermingling between battle and politics in this book, and as usual the author does a fine job presenting both without getting boring.

Another good addition to the series. Entertaining and a good way to spend a couple of days free time. Working through the rest of the series doubletime.

Good Read
Admiral Jason Montagne is moving towards the meeting with the military powers of two sectors. He is down on ships with his heavy weights in for major repair. He is quickly scorned as overall leader of the forces. The Grand Fleet of defenders is quickly put behind the eight ball when the massed Droids attack. Will the Little Admiral pull another rabbit out of the hat as the fleet is gradually overcome? I like the action, humor, intrigue, strategy, and a touch of romance. I look forward to the next book.

Same old same old
When I first started reading this series, I was excited about it. Then the author started his formula over and over. Admiral gets in over his head -all is lost - pulls victory out of his ass. Everything is predictable. Author should have quit at Book four or five in this series.

I did not like this novel as much as the others in the series. While its another good book it lacks the polish I expect from a book thats into is 7th of the series.
It has plenty of action and more fleet events than most of the previous books being much more focused on the naval/space force aspect of the MSP. I do however have an issue on how much of this book seems to be happening in the background and that we never see.
The start of the book is different from the preview included in the last novel and as such some of the character of the USA (United Sentients Assembly) is lost and makes them less unique characters for the rest of the book. In addition a large number of characters that were just introduced are for the most part not given much page time and as such are still just placeholders left to the reader to turn into real characters.
I also was upset about the shuttle and its engineering solution that as far as I can tell is what was used in the earlier novels yet was written as another great engineering "miracle". I also am less than thrilled that Junior's revolt or what ever it was that he and the newly introduced sister were doing was simply forgotten in the background and never resolved or mentioned again.
I think this book helped to grow the universe and move the story along but I am feeling as if the author has too many characters and story-lines going and keeps forgetting some. I think the book needed to be edited one or two more times to really polish it up. In particular the series was more focused on characters in a space opera setting and the decision to try and push the naval aspect for this book feels forced and uncomfortable to a series that seemed to be heading somewhere else.
