The Space Lore Boxed Set: Space Lore Volumes 1-3
Welcome to Space Lore, where Arthurian legend meets Star Wars. Epic space fantasy will never be the same. For the first time, all three Space Lore books are included in one volume. Each will transport you to a world that combines mythology with Sci Fi action and adventure. See why critics have "Dietzel proves a master at swashbuckling space opera." Kirkus "Great characters, great action, great plot...get this book!" Sam Joseph, moderator of the largest Star Wars fan group on Facebook "An amazing sci-fi journey into fun. A must read for galactic war sci-fi readers." The Full-Time Book Reviewer "Stirring sci-fi action that should appeal to fans who applaud the introduction "A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away."" Kirkus Reviews "An absolutely wonderful Sci-Fi adventure." The Quilting Tangent "Nothing in this tale was disappointing, from the great world building, to the vivid battle scenes, to the depth and heart of the central characters." Amazon Top 100 Reviewer The Green Knight - Space Lore I - Near the border between two kingdoms, a vessel full of innocent passengers is destroyed. While the extent of the impending retaliation is unknown, its inevitability is not. Galactic war is approaching. In a seedy bar in a distant corner of the solar system, a knight clad entirely in green armor puts forth a grisly challenge. The only person to accept the knight’s game is a woman who spends her time drinking and thieving. These two acts, occurring in different parts of the galaxy, both lead to the same the planet that will soon fall under attack. The Excalibur - Space Lore II - Six years ago, two fleets met in a battle that changed the course of the galaxy. In the time since, the CasterLan Kingdom and the Vonnegan Empire have been rebuilding their forces. The clock is ticking down to another inevitable confrontation. In the face of insurmountable odds, Vere CasterLan’s only hope lies in freeing a legendary weapon from the stone that encases it. It has been said that whoever can free the Excalibur will possess unimaginable power. The only problem, as certain death approaches, is that for thousands of years no one has been able to figure out how to release the Excalibur from the asteroid surrounding it. The Round Table - Space Lore III - The CasterLan forces have withdrawn to the edges of the solar system. Vere CasterLan, their leader, struggles to survive in the galaxy’s most feared prison. Meanwhile, the Vonnegan Empire looks to find more planets to rule over. Seeing firsthand the cruelty and suffering that the Vonnegan Empire is capable of, Vere begins to understand that only one thing that can bring peace to the galaxy and stop Mowbray Vonnegan once and for all. It’s a simple notion, only three the Round Table. But as the call goes out for armies from every corner of space to unite against a common evil, will anyone listen to a ruler who has already lost everything she once had?

Don’t waste your time on these. I can’t tell you how many times I wanted to just walk away. The books start with a great description of the bar at Mos Eisl...uh...Eastcheap and introduce you to 6 extremely shallow and underdeveloped characters. Two die in the first book and, since they are so underdeveloped, you feel no sense of loss. In fact, I believe you could totally remove the characters without changing the pacing or story in the slightest. The main character sort of mourns them, but you don’t really know why other than they hung out in a bar together for 6 years. There is a battle to save the home world, but the main character doesn’t really seem to care all that much.
The main character and one of the main secondary characters are immature brats who fight on the drop of a dime and that doesn’t really change through the second book. In the third book, the author finally gets around to developing the main character and she actually becomes more interesting.
In the second book, the main character still doesn’t seem to care all that much, doesn’t really listen to advice, and it leads to consequences that feel forced.
As mentioned before, the third book sees some character development on the main character, the loss of one of the few interesting characters from the first two books, and generally does a better job than the others at advancing the story.
If you’re to read any of them, skip the first two, and read the third. It has nice summaries of the other two and you’ll learn more about the characters in that book than in either of the others.
I’m glad it’s done and I’ve been able to move on to another series.

not kindle unlimited, but had gotten #1 on freebie day, though some of his books are ku, not a huge star wars fan though room mate who shares my ku is so will point him toward this one, bit draggy in places but then again setting things up in a first book of series that is to be expected, was almost positive had #2 and #3 from freebie/instafreebie but hard drive crash a bit back and still trying to get all the files rounded up, so will redo this and add to it when get it together {in several ways}

What a wonderful read
Wonderful series the full emotions, ideas, thoughts, of sentient beings. I've often said that humanity's treck through life can be summed up by figuring out just where in life we are as a whole, I suspect that it we looked at a humans life line and applied it to the age of civilization we would be around a toddlers in timeline. This story alludes to an enlightened age it is nice to dream

BOOK 1 - The Green Knight
Starts off with a bang and keeps right on going with an amazing new Universe.
A special Thank you to all the digital artists that helped me visualize some of the characters.
BOOK 2 - The Excalibur
I'm devastated. I had gotten attached to so many characters, and now......
With a heavy heart I move on to Book 3.
BOOK 3 - The Round Table
No words.
well, okay, here are some words:
1. Relief
2. Action
3. More action
4. Way more action
5. Relief (not everyone might feel this way)
6. Sad and happy all at the same time

Wonderful Sci-Fi adventure. Reminds me of Star Trek and Star Wars. Keep writting, you have a gift for bringing a story to life. Great characters description of locations. Waiting to see what happens in the next book.

A lot of work
A lot of work went into writing, and a lot of work went into reading this nonsense. Massive amounts of death and destruction to end at a nobly silly conclusion.

For me, the re-use of the Arthurian names felt forced and wholly irrelevant to the plot, a kind of shoe-horn in of familiar legend. But the story didn't need it and stood up well on it's own. It's simple goodies and baddies stuff, a fun space adventure with characters just detailed enough to make it readable but no deep human insight or complex characterisation. That's not a bad thing, it makes for a super quick-to-read, light-entertainment book, one I enjoyed as I read it but which didn't then stay in my mind thereafter. Perfect fodderfor reading in airport lounges, on the flight, by the pool!
