Thank god for that change of pace. So, things I liked about this installment? First, the development of some more, and parallel, back story. The entire thing with the dormant monsters on these plants that belong to some of the nexus races was fantastic. Also, seeing one of the nexus races effectively broker a deal with the Lizards, something that has been painted as impossible up until this point, was impressive, even if it was diplomacy at the end of a barrel. I think they're going to deeply regret giving the Lizards that weapons upgrade though. i'm also not sure I'm happy about the Lizards, master gene editors that they are, having access to an unkillable monster and its offspring. That sounds like a recipe for unkillable lizards for sure.
Marauder was also fascinating. First, because there hasn't been much of anything about the people that go back to civilian life. Second, because the whole bit about sex? That has been something like 50 books in coming. Seriously, it's literally been like 50 books where they needed to address the fact that not only do Archons not bone but they don't even masturbate.... for hundreds of years! The fact that that was an exploitable psionic weakness is 100& believable and the method of resolving that weakness made perfect sense. Kudos to the author for that. Now, regarding the Mage and Apprentice actions on-planet.. don't know that that is consistent with the Star Force the author has been painting thus far but maybe that's because he's trying to take all of this in a new direction.
OH, and the ancient giving the allies some new powers and delivering a proxy message for paul right before the awakening of those beats (within the nexus, which the dragon warned the ally commander about) is A+ stuff. Excited for the next installment if it continues being this good. Like I said last review, I enjoy this exploration stuff dramatically more than more boring combat.

Good story line ruined by author's poor command of English
OK, I've binge-read this series as far as I can. Aer-ki's unrelenting grammatical, vocabulary and redundancies have finally proved to be too much for this English honors student. Peaked for piqued, later for latter, taught for taut. Things like, "crewer," which according to Marriam-Webster isn't even a word, instead of crew, crewman/woman, crewmate. Eeked instead of eked and used incorrectky as well as misspelled, shot marks instead of pockmarks, "from where he got it from." It goes on and on.
He could easily have hired a middle school English teacher for a few hours a month to proofread his manuscripts so he didn't look like someone who had flunked that level by winging it on his own.
It's too bad because the basic story line is good. It kept me plowing forward through the potholes and wash outs for as long as it did, but no more!

If you love sci-fi then you have to give this series a go
I didn't think that such a huge series would be good enough to keep my interest but I'm so happy to be wrong. The only reason that this isn't a 5* is because there really really needs to be some proof reading done, if the storyline wasn't so good I'd have given up on disgust several books ago, as it is the storyline is fantastic and is keeping me hooked.

Finally old ones!
The first half of this book as my favorite so far. I can’t even begin to guess how the galaxy deals with this new character.
Maybe it turns out to like Star Force?
The second half digress from the most interestingly part. If the second half had continued on with the first half I’d give this book 5 stars

Another just like the last
Supermen, sexless, passionless, nearly genderless, once again rush out to save the world. I'm not really sure I can sustain much more interest TBH. The names slightly change, the battles are pretty boring, the misspellings continue to mount, there is a significant lack of long term narrative arc. Still an awfully long way to go.

Good story!
A lot going on. Seven or eight galaxy destroyers being kept asleep! What a turn of events and problem for someone or some team to fix. Some of the story may have dragged a little, but what do I know about it. Doing the fast finger flicker goes through it well. Anticipating the next one, chewing on sardines, waiting with bated breath.

Action filled
Liked the action. Some of the background gets a little tedious. Little disappointed with the sex build up to nothing. Seems like should have been some new ability discovered after all that.

Poor editing continues to ruin immersion
Nevertheless, not Never the less
Nonetheless, not None the less
Constant spelling and grammar errors prevent me from immersing myself in the story.

Very descriptive
Liked coherency of characters and good intro of new ones.
Fighting tactics and psychic abilities well described but would like new abilities to not occur to fit the plot

Still a good story line, but...
The poor word choices and lack of attention to detail make a 5 book a 3.5 or 4. It is hard to get into the book when having little things like this breaking into the flow.

Another re-read book!
I figured out that as this is a new KU . That my reviews from the old one doesn't count. A fan!

Val, aquest llibre ja justeja més que els altres. Ple d’històries interessants però clarament farcit. Potser tindrà rellevància més endavant però de moment poca.

Page turner!
I’m an avid fan of this series and can’t wait to see where it ends up. I like the growth of star force and always like exploring their ever growing abilities!

Breathtaking, invigorating and mind-blowing
The action just keeps getting better and better. The Star aForce legends continue to grow and our minds crave more of what is to come.

A sign of improvment
First few chapters are more of the play by play of the fantasy video game combat that always seems to avoid being killed, or the selective use of their genivia like convention.
This book finally gets into some contact with the great enemy. So far making for a long overdo enjoyable read. The great enemy is a very painful knock off of halo promethian and flood hybrid.
The totalitarian level veganism read it's ugly head again to insult, being genrious, the 96% non vegans that are potential reader's of western culture. The Complete lack of understanding of human biology, psychology, and sexuality makes some chapters painful to read.
The overwhelming arrogance of the archons shows itself again, along with prejudices they have have for any outsiders, and those not bowing to their rule.
