The Jung have captured the Pentaurus system. Lord Dusahn is more aggressive than the other caste of Jung. Maybe there is a upcoming split of the Jung Nation or the Dusahn are a rouge caste. Lord Dusahn destroyed an entire planet because the elders refused to bow down to him. To make it worse the Dusahn have the jump drive, stronger shields and more powerful weapons. The Ghatazhak are moving to another planet farther away for a safe base to fight from. Captain Connor Tuplo refused to have his memory returned and flew away to avoid the Jung. Tuplo is the clone of Nathan Scott and everyone wants him to return to defeat the Jung again. The big question is will Tuplo become Scott? The Dusahn have attacked the Ghatazhak before they could relocate. Will they win and/or will Scott return? Will Cameron Taylor, now Captain of the Aurora, and her crew go rouge and come to help the Pentaurus system? Read the book to find out.
The book is well written. The space battles are brutal as the Jung are so ruthless. Jessica and Tellis are caught in a big fight. What will happen to them? The suspense builds throughout the story as does the action. Brown is a great storyteller. I am looking forward to the next book in the series.
I read this as an audiobook downloaded from Audible. The book is just about eight and a half hours long. Jeffrey Kafer does an excellent job narrating the book. Kafer is a multi-award-winning audiobook narrator.

Resurrection was... variable for me. To review what I felt were the two components of it: the “space battle stuff” seemed to be a notch down from what I'm used to from these books. There was a lot going on, but I feel that most of it just happened, without really feeling that I cared about it. The parts critical to the story were clearly flagged, but the rest just seemed like filler to me.
Other than that, this book has a relatively dark mood, in a way that works well. There are some interesting questions relating to ethics which I feel could have been expanded upon a bit further, but generally, I feel that this book did a good job putting the reader into the pessimistic state of mind that the reader should have at this point. And it's always nice to get goosebumps during the last few pages of a book.

Ressurection, Nathan is back, but situation is even more grim, damn I hate the Jung what a great series, set mostly in the Pentarus system with a separate Jung caste the Duson they have jump drives so tactics is the only way to win. Just so much interesting technologies going on, seems Ryk has used nearly every type of science fiction tech, just love this series.

Another great episode in the Frontiers Saga!

It took three books but finally all the setting up work seems to be done for the new story arc of The Frontiers Saga. The main event in this book should not really be much of a surprise for anyone given the title. What perhaps could be a bit of a surprise is that the rest of the story also advances quite a lot. There is a lot of things going on and the action is plentiful.
The Jung (or are they Jung?) are trying to solidify their hold over the Pentarus Cluster and in doing so they run into the Ghatazhak who, as they discover, is a slightly, tougher nut to crack than they expected. Having written that, being thrown enough gun fodder at them even the Ghatazhak have to resort to a strategic retreat.
On Earth drastic and perhaps somewhat rash measures are taken against the perceived Jung threat. Measures that will have far reaching repercussions for the future.
Captain Tuplo, acting as “Nah tan” and General Telles manages to get word to Earth which, to put it mildly, complicates life even further for the dear Captain of the Aurora. Difficult decisions has to be made. To mutiny or not to mutiny…
There are plenty of good battles both on the ground and in space. It is very enjoyable to read about how old friends reunites again throughout the book. In the end the old team is back again, well, mostly at least and hopefully we can dig into the real story and attack (literally) the real problem in the next book. Looking forward to read about that.

For the 1st 6 years after Nathan Scotts death, brain transfer, and cloning Nathan unknowingly lived the life Connor Tupelo. Since the events in Rescue he has struggled with who he is. Is willing to drop the seemingly carefree life of Connor Tuplo, or will he give into his destiny and take responsibilities of Nathan Scott?><>The resistance to the Jung splinter faction begins to to take its toll in the Pentarus Cluster , the Dusahn have nuked a number of planets to a glassy surface. They have attacked a planet that the Ghatazhak have used for refuge. This forces the Ghatazhak to seek safety elsewhere. How will these events affect Nathan Scott is the primary point of this story.

The team is back together, keep it that way
I love this book, and this series. This is an excellent third book in the second ark. Nathan has his crew back, Jessica, Lucius, Cameron, Vlad, Loki and Josh. The character interactions are excellent between this dynamic group of individuals, you have to love their introspection with each other between the action sequences, Nathan would not be complete if any of them were missing. The writing is Well done as well as the action sequences. This is my second time Reading this series, I had the urge all those who have not started it read the first half and then go to the second you will not be disappointed.

A Great Story--Well Written
I have been reading this series since the beginning. There have been many great episodes, but this is the best by far. I didn't like it when Nathan Scott died a few episodes back, but this episode where he returns is an absolute great read. How he is returned is well thought out and told. You will not be able to put it down once you start reading. Enjoy!!

great read
How to review without spoilers??? The Aurora is back in Corinair sort of illegally. Nathan is…..Nathan. The group is back together mostly. They are facing a rogue sect of the Jung that make them look like a Boys Choir. The Duhzan are ruthless and their leader is a psychopath with a Messianic complex. Don’t read this unless you have read the previous 17 books. Hey! I did it in less than 2 weeks. Now on to the next book.

Awesome series!
The Frontier Saga is a great series. I would love to see this on the big screen! The characters are engaging and well thought out. So many people and situations, it's hard to put these books down. I can't wait for the next one.

This series continues to totally work for me.
In this book, Connor Tuplo commits to becoming Nathan Scott while the Ghatazhak and Jessica Nash do what they can to help Connor to this decision while fending off what little they can of the Jung invasion. A well known ship also enters the fray.

This is so good.
A great story that I can't wait to read the next one.
Well-written that you can play each paragraph in your head movie-like as you read and entertaining enough that you can't help but laugh out loud sometimes.

Best episode in a while!
I have liked every entry in the series so far, but this is one of my favorites. I feel like these characters are family, I've spent so much time with them, and I am very excited for the next episode!

The hits keep coming....
Another fantastic book by Ryk Brown. Fast-paced and with complicated characters, "Resurrection" is perfect hard science fiction and a thrilling read.

Edge of seat
Prepare to go on a galactic action adventure, with a fantastic description giving you the reader a blow by blow account of the action.

Just as I expected, the story is starting to pick up. As soon as I put this book down, I picked the next book up.

The second part of the series picks up and just keeps going like the first. I couldn't put this series down and am eagerly awaiting the latest book of the series.

These books are an easy read. They don't inspire OR make me want to stop doing everything else to read. But that's okay, sometimes you need just an easy fluff read.
