I made it 210 pages into this book, and I felt no real bound to the MC or any of the LIs. In fact, I had trouble remember who they were. This is in part due to the fact that while in the mechs, they use call-signs, but outside of the mechs, they use names. If the author had included a brief "main characters" section at the beginning to refresh my memory of who went with what call sign, and a brief paragraph bio, I might have felt more in tune with the characters.

There's the bones of a decent plot in this series, but the execution just leaves me somewhat cold. And I felt no draw to any of the LIs in the book, as they were all flat to me after it being a while since the previous book was read.

I've fallen out of favor with this author.

Another great book

Another great end to an amazing trilogy. I'm hoping you do a second trilogy for this series. Just need the need the last book in the privateers series. Really enjoying your books and so happy I found otherworld all then years ago as you've got better and better over the time, Runner is still number 1 though. Keep up the good work.

Always a fun read

I've enjoyed Wayne's growth from a nobody to a hero for multiple systems. The surprises and new plot lines this book brought were fantastic and made it hard to put the book down. I just hope this won't be like Arands other trilogoes with a large gap before book 4.

how does he do it…

W.D.A. can tell a story, get you to care about not only the MC, but the side characters too. Just when it looks like it’s over, there is a twist and we are off and running again! The was a bit is a roller coaster and we still only have a glimpse into what the MC might actually be, I hope the audible comes out soon!

Great series

I enjoyed the characters and the story ark. I read it assuming that it would be the last book in a trilogy but the end is so open that more books could follow. I hope so.

Great addition

This is a great addition to this story. The themes and premise in this novel appear, to me at least, to have tones reminiscent of battletech \ Mechwarror themes which I enjoyed as well. Great work. I look forward to the next one.
