Earth

Harmony War #5

by Michael Chatfield

The Victor’s know nothing but war. It has shaped them and changed them in ways that they didn’t think possible.

Now is not the time to lament on the friends lost, the wounds gained. The medics might be able to patch them up, but they can’t heal their minds.

Harmony is making their play for Earth and the Troopers will be there to greet them. The Victors are finally going home over two hundred years since they left for Sacremon.

The last system-wide battle between the EHC and Harmony is about to begin.

About the author

Michael Chatfield is a Canadian Army veteran and international bestselling author who writes the kind of books he always wanted to read—character-driven, gritty, tactical, and grounded in reality.

He doesn’t write one-dimensional killers wrapped in plot armor, charging toward an objective without thought. His stories are built for readers who want earned progression, tight, understandable logic, and realistic strategy. Every stat system has structure. Every decision is deliberate (except when there is Jaeger involved).

And the pacing? It's locked at two hundred percent. From alleyway brawls to starship armadas clashing over galactic sovereignty, from tactical dungeon assaults to city-states warring over a continent’s fate—Chatfield commits to every battle like it’s his last.

With millions of books and audiobooks sold, and tens of thousands of reviews his work spans LitRPG, military sci-fi, fantasy, and post-apocalyptic survival. He writes for readers who value systems that make sense, loyalty that lasts, and power that’s earned, not handed out.

Whether you're listening on a long drive, grinding through a shift, or up past midnight planning the next in-game raid—this is where you’ll find sagas to binge. Where strength is earned, logic rules, and camaraderie is forged in fire.

Notes:

I was wrong. The last book of the series was the least interesting of the five.

[Kyle · Rating 2 out of 5]

There's no real payoff to the series here. The story just ends. The major plot points of the assassins, or Victor Corp are never resolved. There is no epilogue to let us know who retires to do what. Do our heroes die to rando offscreen assassins? Do they get recruited? Does M do anything with the data chip he was given? What happens with W3C? Why do so much setup work in this book and drop it all at the end? Did the author run out of time?

So after reading the whole series and this whole book, there is no payoff. The last few chapters of the book seem to be missing; it just ends as if there is another chapter.

There are also several proof reading errors, actions being attributed to the wrong characters, grammar, etc.

Close up your powered armor for Rip Snortin' action

Michael Chatfield's Earth is a wall-to-wall battle! Anyone who is into detailed military ground combat. You will love this book as it progresses from battle preparations to the final dire faceoff. Highly entertaining and fast paced. Highly recommended

good

Good. I think the action and everything was as good as the other books in the series but the ending was abrupt.

[Dr Casey MacKenzie · Rating 2 out of 5]

Like many other reviewers, I feel the last several chapters--or even the last book-- are missing! We spent most of the series hearing about this other war and then...nothing? And what about the assassination plot? Nothing? This series sort of feels like a set up for another series, but nowhere is that communicated.

Series review: 2.5 stars
I enjoyed this series, but was left unsatisfied.

I listened to this series because it is narrated by my favouite narrator (Joel Richards) and the narration here is 10/10.

The series is action packed and entertaining, but the last few books set us up for a whole plot line which is just completely dropped and never addressed in the final book. It very much feels like the last book is missing several chapters or, indeed, was not meant to be the last book.

[Aaron Byers · Rating 2 out of 5]

Unsatisfying ending. Assassins sent out to kill the protagonists and...nothing?

Happy ending but no resolution? Meh.

The bad guys fighting the good guys with nothing of the third party (Roma Legions) actually getting there? Mark never mentions to anyone that he was awakened and propositioned by some stranger on Fernix? Ever? Meh.

Besides the technical writing errors throughout, the story had so many inconsistencies that it became frustrating to read. The final fighting sections were meaningless battles back and forth until...hooray, the good guys win! The end. No resolution. No retribution against the plot against them. No reuniting with Nerva. Meh.

Definitely can't recommend the series.
