The Origin Series is empire building at its finest, with 100 episodes and over 2.5 million words in the military science fiction serial detailing the rise of Star Force from corporate entity into an interstellar empire over the course of more than a millennium.
Follow a core group of characters known as the Trailblazers as they use alien technology and knowledge discovered in Antarctic ruins to obtain limited immortality and lead Humanity out into the galaxy, encountering, befriending, and fighting hundreds of alien races all the while desperately trying to prepare Earth for the unbeatable threat at the core of the Milky Way that is destined to return and reclaim their lost colony…and their former Human slaves.
Aer-ki Jyr is one of the top 20 science fiction authors on Amazon due to his extremely long and ongoing space opera epic STAR FORCE, one of the longest military science fiction series ever written.
Enjoyable. I've always thought this author is significantly better at the space opera element of this series than the civilization-building or even the space-marine part. The plan to annex the Nexus territories (and essentially become the new nexus in the same way that they 'became' the ADZ) is just what the series needs to continue. For all this author's faults, he knows how to do one thing really, really exceptionally well. He knows how to use recursion to keep a story going without it sounding explicitly repetitive. It's a perfectly valid form of universe-building, especially when you're scaling up the size and scope of a story (region to country to continents to world to solar system to local galaxies the entire outer rim of the galaxy [and probably to galactic supercluster eventually]) and the technological details involved (up a tech tree or to various levels of magic-like technological development). I think there are 2 more box sets left.
FYI the editors/spell checked/context folk are not keeping up Lots of words that are close to correct but not
Author must have gotten tired of the Star Force lizard wars so ended them! Amazing Uriti fight off idiots and they can communicate if they want The “surrendered” lizards going to help to bring order to the rim!
Plots continue to twist. Development of individual players continues. Proofreading seems to have improved. Who ever places reviewer stipulations needs to lower the word count needed.
This book has some editing notes that means that someone is paying some attention to quality! I think I'll volunteer as there are more poor word choices than identified.
Very rich continuous story telling that I love to stop and enjoy. I have a difficult time putting these books down, for I can't wait to see what happens next!
