Earth Honor
We call them the grays. For years, they lurked in shadows. For years, they struck from the dark. Kidnapping us. Torturing us. Studying us. Now they unleash their full fury. Thousands of their saucers attack Earth. Our armies crumble. Earth burns. Yet from the fire, heroes rise. Marco Emery. Addy Linden. Einav Ben-Ari. Names everyone on Earth knows. The names of legends. Names now whispered as a prayer. Around the heroes, humanity will rally. Under their leadership, we will fight. Together we can win. The grays think us weak. But we will stand strong!

Earth Honor Falls Flat on it's Face
Sorry, falls flat, with a big splat. I keep hoping the series would get better, but alas it does not. The sorry thing is, there's still one more novel left.
For those interested, I've said this from the start, get a good editor. Heck, just get an editor! The read is jerky and the story needs help. Contradictions from the initial to the end of this novel just kill the read, making me wish I'd never picked up the work. But I did, and here it is, the absolute truth of this work.
Something you need to know, it appears the obsolete tech of human's can over come the advanced tech of a society one million years are distant relative. That's right, we find out we're fighting humans from the future. They are the gray people who visited Earth for centuries and did the old anal probe. Sorry, but spoilers are coming up just to let you know how bad it is.
Spoiler
We get introduced to the gray's from the last novel. Going forward, we learn they are the descendants of the group Einav Ben-Ari stranded. After making their way through a millennium, they became the advanced race as seen today. If they're so advanced, how come the Human Defense Force is able to overcome them? This is something we need to investigate.
Throughout the series, I've pointed out inconsistencies in technology. Here, we find out more problems as the author tries to spin more words than are needed to make the series longer. We are introduced to a positronic brain and told the robot who has it is a cyborg. The reasoning behind this is there's a human heart in the construct. But that doesn't make it a cyborg, you say. Correct. A cyborg must have an organic brain in order to have that title. Sorry, more research needed.
Marco and Addy spend most of this book finding and studying deep being. They travel to a planet with a buda, buba Ganisha, and this takes up a good third of the book. While this happens, Lalony finds a time travel device, gets Hobs to figure out how to use it, escapes a couple of dozen grays with advanced weapons, and travels back in time. Ouch!
More of the Ridiculous
Einav is the captain of a ship with a bunch of different scientists. She falls for and sleeps with an MMA champ who turns out to be an agent of the Grays, and thus she escapes him, and the Grays. She overcomes each and every challenge without issue. Even being stranded in space she is able to contact Earth to warn of an invasion, and do the impossible. Just when it was getting ridiculous, the author opens another door to ridicule him with. Einav takes a worm hole generator and uses it to propel herself into warp and get back to her ship. Ugh!
To make things worse, Addy becomes stupid in this novel. Her IQ drops below seventy, and that's being nice. Marco becomes a guru of thought. This is where the droning of words and repetition of thought makes the reader's eyes glass over.
End Spoiler
I think this author is trying to hard to put words together, and besides pushing the evil alien theme, it's time to retire or get better editors. The biggest suggestion is critiques, edits, and research your next book.

Ok, I’m getting sick of this series. What started off as a very good military science fiction story has dwindled down into a bunch of stupid comic book crap that’s barely worth reading! As I’ve said before, this is more a military science fiction horror story than anything else. The author seems to think that adding overly graphic content will fill up his book faster so this book is loaded with the stuff. And now the characters have all gone off the deep end. I understand dealing with PTSD. It’s not easy and it can be very painful. At one point, Marco Emery was really going through the worst of it, but eventually managed to work his way through some troubled times. His best friend and lover, Addy, wasn’t much help. She hasn’t been much help throughout the book although she did have her own war to fight. I know she went through hell during the Marauder war, but she’s a fighter. Still, I think it mashed her brain a little too much. Her actions throughout this book are down-right insane, idiotic and stupid. I, personally would have shot her easily during the first part of this book. Being stuck with her on a tiny spaceship would drive anyone to murder.
So, now that Emery and Linden are finally together, they take off in a beat up old spaceship supposedly resembling a VW van. They are off to find some idiotic guru who will show them “The Way of Deep Being”. What a crock! Turns out this guy is some five hundred year old elephant sitting on a dead planet. He’s supposedly the last surviving member of his race. This whole scene is so ridiculous that I would warn readers to just forget the book based on this part. And the story doesn’t stop there but it doesn’t matter because what Emery and Linden do in this book has absolutely no impact on the story. It’s a waste of reading time.
Then we see Lailani de la Rosa who is on a quest to go back in time and save a guy she killed. Some how this guy has become someone she was really interested in when that wasn’t true at all. Benny Ray, a.k.a. “Elvis” back in bootcamp was just another young kid that de la Rosa ignored. She had the hots for Emery and didn’t think much of this “Elvis” kid, so much so that she ripped his heart out during one of her alien-hybrid episodes. That was ten years ago and now she “regrets” doing that and wants “Elvis” to live. So she manages to get a hold of a time machine hour-glass. Wait, but first she has to get her mechanical friend HOBBS fixed. So she goes to some isolated planet where a nut-case doctor/scientist/murder has been confined thinking he will just help her fix her robot and let her go on her way. Another waste of time and reading. Really gross stuff in here and has absolutely no point in the book.
Then we turn to Captain Einav Ben-ari who single-handly tries to take on the entire fleet of flying saucers full of Grays. Oh, she doesn’t do this the first time while in her ship. She manages to fall out of the ship and then has to fight using a rifle and a jet pack strapped to her back. Then, after blowing up a gigantic flying saucer, she seems to be stuck in real space while her ship zips through slip-space heading for Earth. Never fear, though, since Einav figures out how to open a tiny slip-space stream just her size and is soon zipping along and eventually catches up to her ship. Now, is she’s using her jet pack with tiny rocket engines, how can she possibly catch up to a starship that’s on full-blast through slip-space. Idiotic! Eventually, we get down to Earth with Einav seemingly the only true warrior for the entire planet. Oh, while she’s aboard the spaceship she is Captain Ben-ari, but now down on the ground she has to revert to Major Ben-avi for whatever reason I don’t know. This battle for Earth gets really comical. The Grays have air superiority in their thousands and thousands of flying saucers. Yet, they want to land troops and fight humans in tanks, with artillery and all sorts of weapons, except nuclear bombs for some reason. And the Grays bring out their gigantic multi-headed caterpillars, spiders and even Chariots with mechanical horses pulling them! Oh, yeah, the Grays are supposed to be the culmination of millions of years of humanities advancement. They have evolved and their technology is beyond comprehension except when they start showing up with mechanical, horse-drawn Chariots! Well, in a nutshell, Ben-ari manages to defeat the major effort of the Grays in Mongolia. Yeah, it was just about her alone there for awhile. She loses and arm, but gets it repaired to almost better than before since it’s a bionic arm now.
So, we end this book with Einav being ordered to take her battered, but space-worthy spaceship and go find help with the Galactic Alliance. I guess the Galactic Alliance has been kind of ignoring Earth and it’s troubles all this while because they certainly haven’t been offering any help. I won’t even guess as to why they would now. But, that’s her mission. Lailani is coming back to Earth with her time-machine hour-glass which could just wipe out all their enemies by just going back in time and eliminating them in the first place, but that might cause problems. And, Emery and Linden have found two gigantic mechas that, although thousands of years old, still work and can fight, although Addy might be too busy trying to eat hot dogs once she returns to Earth to do much fighting.
If you’ve gone this far in the series, I would really hate to tell you to stop now. I believe there is one more book, but I’m not going to be in a rush to read. This series has just gotten too stupid for me.

The first several books in this series are not bad--a little black-and-white (you can spot pretty early who's going to live and who's going to die, classic horror movie rules), but overall not bad.
As we get past the first six or so books, though, the writing becomes progressively worse, almost as if the author wanted to try and tailor his prose to be more accommodating to 12-year-olds, even as he continues to display some pretty adult themes (sex, violence, even rape threats).
The characters never really seem to learn anything, they continue to agonize over the same issues, they continue to have the same internal conversations, and by about the twelfth book, everybody in the inner circle has slept with everybody else, and are constantly revisiting every decision they've ever made, even if they just made that decision a few pages ago.
My enjoyment of the series has progressively declined with each successive book, to the point that I will not buy anything further in this series.

An excellent addition to the Earthrise Series. Daniel Arenson's books get better every time I read the next one in the series. My wife,who reads more fantasy than I do, says that he is excellent in that genre as well. I anxiously await the next and likely final Earthrise book.
The action is continuous and makes it hard to set the book down. I read it in a day, but finished at 3:00 a.m. At least I didn't have to hide under the covers with a flashlight like when I was younger. At 64, I can choose to stay up and read all night if I like, but I won't be worth much in the morning. Ah, retirement rocks.
If you're a space opera junkie like me, get this series. I've enjoyed it immensely. Highly recommended.

At this point I am not sure what the books could do to allow me to give it a higher rating.
First its another great additional to the thrill ride that our cast has been though and its fun.
However its just one unbelievable situation after another which is fine but its like our hero's are constantly given everything and its so much deus ex machina, but with that said it's still a fun ride.
I do feel like I am ready for the series to be over but these make great day off reads or beach reads so I can't be too upset! I didn't even realize two more had come out while I had gone and read another little series and now I finished this one and have started the next.

Having read the whole series to this point in the last few months and rating almost every book, this is by far my favorite. Without spoilers, he does a great job of incorporating the whole series in one book without feeling like you are reading the same stuff over and over (an earlier critique of mine). I have only had to wait for the release of this and and "Earth Reborn" , but I am very anxious for the release of "Earth Eternal". I am sad to know that it will be the final book; Arenson has a way of making the reader completely attached to the characters in the series.

More fantasy than sci-fi
I am going to finish the series with only one book left. Which is good because each book is sillier than the one before it. The heroes are always saved by a miracle at the last moment, physics is just plain ignored, and Earth's enemies are always defeated in the last chapter. By a miracle. Sadly this series has devolved into a bad comic book and not a promising tale of Earth's survival. If anyone else made it this far then they are as foolish as I am in purchasing this series...

It grows sillier
This series begins,as fairly straight forward coming-of-age story within a sci-fi space opera setting, but as it continues it morphs into a stream of consciousness fantasy riff that abandons science and the literary conventions of verisimilitude. Another reader compared it to a comic book, but that would be unfair to drop-down comics. This isn't bad, but it is no longer science fiction. Perhaps it is a blend of sci-fi, fantasy, magical realism and The Teaching of Don Juan with a twist of Stranger In A Strange Land added as garnish.

There are times that these books bug me. Especially when characters, especially Addy, act like cartoon caricatures of themselves. As if the author forgets for a moment that he is actually an excellent writer, and produces a few sentences reminiscent of a junior high school creative writing class assignment.
Then there are the rest of the times. When the prose reaches something resembling poetry. When the characters and dialogue become achingly real.
This volume may perhaps be the best so far. Looking forward to the next one.

This Novel is the 8th in the Earthside Series/Greys/Ben-Avi/Worm Holes
DA has penned the 8th Novel in the Earthside Series which continues with the coming war with the Greys. Ben-Avi captured an old warship which they refurbish as much as possible. The Grey's are monitoring what they are trying to accomplish. Ben-Sci opens a work hole to earn Earth of the coming invasion. This is an excellent read for the genre.....DEHS

Too much
The level of gratuitous bloody (literally) evil finally overwhelmed any enjoyment I was getting from this series. I'm going to read a nice JD Robb or Women's Murder Club book to get the bad taste out of my mouth and try to put the mound of blood and guts behind me.
I'm saying to the author' "What's WRONG with you?" Think of Chris Rock's character, Miss Ruby Rod, in The Fifth Element to get the tone right. BZZZZZ!

Surely hope should keep us alive today and forever as we strive to live life to its fullest daily. This series shows us how we can make a difference and inner strength can offer us peace and tranquility as we face the world's current terrorists and unending lack of respect for life. Thank you Daniel. I look forward to more of your insights and great writing. Peace brother.

Explosive and exciting
Once again, the people of Earth must pull together to defeat a greater force. This time, though, most don't know who they're truly facing. Addy and Marco go find a planet where they learn how to be one with everything. Tiny and her dog set off to correct history, and find a robot to help them. Can't wait to read the next book! Great read!

I've enjoyed this series so much, but this one got way weird in so many ways. I still liked it overall, primarily because I'm really attached to the characters, and Ben Ari really saves it at the end, but it wasn't one of my favorites in this series.

Absolutely amazing
I was worried when I started this book as I wasn't sure where the author was going to take the story but seriously it was sooooo good. This series is a MUST read!!!!!

Strength
Loved seeing how we earth folk can com together when attacked by outsiders. Many moving parts here, but still loved reading it and would recommend to another. Looking forward to next one.

I really enjoyed reading this book of the series. Very entertaining and seemed like it was finished way too soon. Looking forward to finishing all the books in this series.

Love it. Can. Not. Wait.
I really enjoy this series. It is fast paced, I love the characters, especially Addy and Ben-Ari. I must read the final book. Like now.

Great series
A great series of books that combine science fiction and war. They let you track the main characters throughout the life and throw in a few unexpected turns.

Delightful
Very bright read. I am enthralled with the characters and their developing story. I will wait unabashedly for the next installment.

Good read
Hard putting the book down. The book grabs you from the first page and doesn't let you go. An outstanding book and series.

So close to the end!
Been immersed in this series for a month now. I can't believe how good it is. I don't want it to be over!

Grays gotta love it
Once again a great story and quick read once you start one Arenson's books it's hard to put it down.

Incredible journey for the members of the Dragon Platoon. I have enjoyed this series immensely and looking forward to book #9.

Earth Honor
I can't put these books down. There is a lot of gore in these books but Marco and Addy always seem to keep things light with their trash talking.

HOPE!!!!
Hope indeed. The story goes and never ceases to amaze, with Addy's comical routine and Ben-Ari's might, the adventure continues and truths are revealed

The book flowed with ease. The characters are intense and funny at times. I could not find anything bad to say each book leaves you wanting more.
