Ambassador #1, 1.5, 2
Ambassador: Books 1, 1.5 and 2
The bundled edition of the first three books in the popular Ambassador series.
1: Seeing Red - Cory Wilson is about to start his new job as representative to gamra, the alien organisation that controls the network for wormhole travel, when a political murder may well end his career before it started. In Coldi society, you can get killed for looking a superior in the eye. Never mind accusing him of murder.
1A: The Sahara Conspiracy - Cory is asked to deal with the alien mafia on Earth, and stumbles across a plot that endangers Earth's fragile peace. You did not hear me say "nuke from orbit".
2: Raising Hell - the wormhole network goes down, and Cory's friend and leader of the largest populated world Asto is caught off-world. Dangerous politics are afoot on Asto, and Cory decides to help his friend. Yeah. Famous last words.

A set of three books, "Ambassador: Books 1, 1A and 2 Omnibus (Ambassador # 1, 1,5 and 2 Omnibus) by Patty Jansen is an intriguing beginning of a science fiction series. I enjoyed the adventures of Cory Wilson who became ambassador to Earth as a new job as a representative of gamra, the alien organization that controls the network for wormhole travel. Civilization Coldi has established contact with the Earth, which after the devastating war has managed to regain its resources. Contact with the new civilization opens up new possibilities and Cory Wilson was sent as an ambassador to fit the Coldi civilization. Cory must fit into a civilization in which only watching the superiors can be fatal. The President of the Earth Government, which represents Cory called him to a meeting, he and the president were attacked in the office. Cory just coincidence survives the attack and trying to find out what happened. The weapon with which he attacked the president is not terrestrial and apparently, someone used advanced weaponry from Coldi civilization. Cory is convinced that this assault is not inconceivable and that someone obviously wants to destroy the fragile relations between Earth and Coldi civilization. Through these three books, the writer has managed to create the world of the future, which I really enjoyed and with pleasure, I have read all three books. In books, you can expect political intrigue, deception, and action. The characters and the worlds of the future are well elaborated and it was my pleasure to read the events of the main character. I would recommend this book to fans of sci-fi.

Excellent series
I really enjoyed these novels, the best scifi I've read for years. The idea of using an ambassador as the main character is interesting, it enables the writer to give an outsider's view but still retain the personal involvement. I thought that Cory the ambassador was lovely, it's nice to have a sensitive intelligent "hero" for a change.

A good introduction
To an interesting and challenging series. Our hero is a diplomat, not a warrior. A little clumsy, occasionally clueless, he finds his way while integrating with an alien race, pursuing love and ideals in a sprawling universe of which earth is only a minor player. Looking forward to more!

Good but not great. I like the world building, but I'm not sure about the characters... They all annoy me somewhat. The stories seem to go too long as I always loose steam about 2/3 of the way in, and then I have to slog through the remaining chapter.

Interesting Mixture of Human Societies
Cory, the protagonist, is constantly being tested by powers in societies he knows little about. It is educational as well as dangerous.

Pretty good Sci-Fi with an original plot with politics from the alien point of view. A human is an ambassador to a far planet. Is there peace in the future, or war?

I really enjoyed this series. A complex plot, a good pace and well written. Recommend.

Too far-fetched for my taste but excellent narration. Didn’t think it fair to rate it as I didn’t read it all,
