Far Space

by Jason Kent

God, Country, Corps. Space Corps tenets only work if you survived long enough to follow them. Ian Langdon was supposed to be the pilot of an orbital patrol craft protecting Allied forces. His chances for a nice, quiet rotation disappeared when the Soosuri decided to attack without warning. Is it too much to ask a simple pilot to save humanity in its darkest hour? Jennifer Wright wanted to explore new worlds and then get back home to Ian, the young Space Corps pilot who had saved her life during the first battle of Near Space. The Soosuri had other plans. Stranded on a water world in the Far Space beyond the wormholes, can she find the strength to survive when her crew turns against her? Taking refuge among the Soosuri, Jennifer uncovers a startling truth which will rock both races. Col Yates knew the Soosuri were coming back and Ian and Jennifer had uncovered a startling revelation out in Far Space all of mankind desperately needed to hear. Would his forces be able to hold this terrible enemy back long enough for Ian and Jennifer to share their discovery? Destiny's hand was dealt; the time had come for Ian to fulfill his duty.

[Marcus · Rating 5 out of 5]

This particular book has a lot going on in it. You have space exploration, first contact, military subterfuge, racism, war, romance, and religion. Sometimes it feels as if there is too much that is crammed into and onto the pages. The author, through either good writing or luck, does bind all those diverse elements into a very coherent story. The characters are well written for the story being told and seem to work well together. All in all, this is an interesting book to read.

An easy read, but I thought it was pretty predictable. Unsatisfying conclusion but perhaps the point was to set up a sequel, which I'll skip. With the exception of the religious angle, late and underplayed, I'm certain I've read this plot many other places.

* Couldn't finish
** I had nothing else to do
*** Passed the time, would be **** for genre / author fans
**** Everyone could enjoy this book
***** Everyone should read this book, I'll read it again

[Barbara Tobis · Rating 1 out of 5]

Religious rhetoric disguised as a poorly written SiFi book.

Don't bother downloading. Not worth the time.
