Scrapyard Ship #7
Call to Battle
“Call To Battle is ridiculously fun!”
“A page-turner like no other. Simply loved it!”
“It all comes together and I’m sad to see it go!”
Welcome to the final, heart-pounding, episode of the Scrapyard Ship series books. It’s all about to end in one climatic crescendo.
The story continues, with Captain Jason Reynolds, and his team: Billy, Rizzo, and the rhino-warrior, Traveler. They must attempt to rescue Ricket and Gaddy, still held captive aboard the impregnable Dreathlor prison barge. Only then, can Jason return to The Lilly, his highly advanced Caldurian vessel … where it all began.
The elusive Admiral Ot-Mul, leader of the Craing Drac-Vin forces, has not only survived, but thrived, in the far, outer-reaches of space. With hundreds of thousands of warships under his command, Ot-Mul’s combined fleets are on the move. But, in truth, he cares about little else than making one man suffer … Captain Jason Reynolds.
With the approach of an enormous fighting force on the horizon, it’s the last call to battle. Will the decimated Allied worlds reunite one more time? Will Ot-Mul get his vengeance, by taking those most dear to Jason—Mollie, Boomer, Nan and Dira—and use them to rip Jason’s world, his very existence, apart?

Call to Battle is the seventh and final book in the Scrapyard Ship series. This can be read as a standalone. But I do not recommend that as this storyline builds from the first book through this one.. You really need to read them in order so you can fully understand what is happening. There is violence. I have really enjoyed this series and the author gave it a fitting end. Though it would be nice to see what happens in the future with some of these characters.

Mark is a great storyteller and keeps you guessing (and sometimes worrying) about what he's about to do. I'd give this series five stars, but Mark seems to enjoy salting his work with F-bombs and I don't care for that. It's simply not necessary for the story, and better authors will tell a rich, powerful story without a single one of those. Fun reading other than that. I bought another MWM book when I finished this series.

An MWM. SYFY. Novel (CTB - SSSB - 7)
MWM. has. penned the seventh and final analysis of the Scrapyard Ship Series. The final novel, number 7, dealt with the final throes of the two factions that Captain Reynolds faced in the closing of battles of the two forces to one. The one prevailed, the good guys, by hook and crook with the stalwart leaders still able to lead. This is an excellent read for the genre.....DEHS

Really good read!
I enjoyed the story immensely, liked the innovative solutions to the problems the characters had to overcome. I also enjoyed the relationships built during the series, but all the battles and loss didn’t seem to affect the characters enough.

Dang author
I started this series and was unable to put them down until the end.
Alls well that ends well. Great series, but the proof reader needs help.

Happy ending is great to find.
Almost sad to get to the end of the series, but even great stories do come to an end. Much fun and thrills along the way.😁

Good but too American Focused
Good accessible Si-Fi aeries, spoilt a bit in books 6 & 7 with the focus on the USA. Otherwise a good straight forward. Wi-Fi series of books.

So good I did not want the book to end!
Mark McGinnis wrote a great story with a satisfying end. I can't wait for the spinoff novels! I am looking forward them.

Great last book
This is the final book in the scrapyard book series. It ends good and is very exciting. If you’ve not started this series of books… worth getting started now.

truly enjoyed this 7 book series…..
Mark McGinnis is a master story teller.
Would love it if he decided to expand these lovable characters into another series of books.

With Call to Battle, it's win or lose for Captain Jason Reynolds and the Allied Forces defending Earth and the galaxy from Ot-Mul's Drac-Vin forces. The Craing on Halimar and the other Craing worlds may have revolutionized and turned away from their previous path of conquest, but Ot-Mul still controls hundreds of thousands of warships in space, and he's not done waging war and seeking to annihilate all other planetary systems in the galaxy. The Great Space initiative is on hold while he deals with the small problem of Captain Reynolds and The Lillly, but they're just flies on his backside. You're going to have to read and find out if Jason can hatch a plan genius enough to take on a warlord with a fleet exponentially greater than his own.
