Cliffhanger? Not the move, dude. Anyway, good addition, I guess. The combat is getting boring as shit, aside from Paul's maneuver on the Type 1 Walker, which was just brilliant. The sanctions came too little too late for my tastes, probably inspiring organizations similar to The Word in its wake, but we'll see about that. Stealing the gene sample seems inconsistent for the characters.
Meanwhile, I've only just noticed that in replicating capitalist philosophy throughout the series, the author has done something else, completely ignore starting advantages. When you get something for free, especially a whole lot of something, it seems increasingly shitty to force others to try and match what you've built while not having that advantage. Finding the pyramid and its databases AND ambrosia stores AND benefiting from gene editing is one hell of an advantage, especially for things like manufacture and warfare, even without data brokering, so seeing them then steamroll other species into submission using a 'play by our trade rules' flag seems pretty fucking suspect... just like real life capitalism!
Really hoping that the 2 main enemies kill each other off so we can get back to the part of this series that I enjoyed. Exploration.

October 21, 2019Four stars, finger slipped.
I like that there is always something new in this series. The Valerie ships that many different races use need a minor update or change. I'm not sure I can describe it well. Have a hole in the top that is big enough for a life support pod. The pod is the same size for all races, but the larger folks may be a little crowded. Each pilot, regardless of size, has their own pod that fits or slots into the ship. It would have it's own anti grav unit to fly into the Valerie and to carry the pilot. The advantage would be one ship for everyone, and same size pods, just configured different for different size pilots.

I think this book and the previous ones I've read (on my Kindle) of the Star Force series are excellent. They are engaging and entertaining. The one complaint I have is that the editing is terrible. My original intention was to read all 82 Star Force books, however with the editing so execrable, I'm having second thoughts.
I would request of the publisher to to respect the readers enough to do a decent job of editing.

Another page turner
As with each preceding book in the Star Force series, yet nothing offering that leaves the reader wanting more. The Star Force expansion continues and the stakes keep getting higher and the players keep growing in size and new races are discovered or come to light. Which side will get to the next jump point first, and then, where will the next jump go?

Couldn't stop reading
An excellent continuation of the series.
Less action but more empire building. Excellent development and interesting happenings. The twist at the end was very welcome.
Knocked off a star for the expected grammar/spelling mistakes.

Fun fascinating read
I continue to enjoy this series even at 14 books in. Nice mix of war (both ground and space) and empire building.

Top notch
Space opera in grand style, this series embodies elements of most popular current Sci-fy. It’s a really good read for those inclined toward speculative fiction.

This book was much better than the last one. Getting more and more interesting with interesting new Aliens. The author does need to do a better job of proofreading though.

This one mostly focused on the internal war in the ADZ, plus plans for expansion.

I'm not going to be able to read any other books after I get done with this series. Nothing else will have any appeal for me. maybe I'll just start over.
