Gateway to the Galaxy #4
Face Toward Enemy
He saved the universe from chaos;
And it’ll come back to haunt him.
And it’ll come back to haunt him.
Just when you thought it was safe to explore the universe, a new enemy emerges from the darkness. You know the deal with these things: someone's always ready to put on the gauntlet and do the finger snap.
Unintended consequences from the fallout of the battle with the Chaos Lord come back to haunt the team.
All Frank wants to do is rebuild the Arilion Order and eat tacos. No such luck. A new enemy is going to give Frank and the rest of Marine Space Corps-1 a run for their money.
Filled with the laugh out loud moments and gritty action you’ve come to love, book 4 in the Gateway to the Galaxy series keeps the party going.

I'm not sure I really like this series. Oh, it's kind of interesting and the writing is different. The main character is kind of a cornball in the way he casually treats everything and just doesn't seem to really understand that he's doing some serious stuff. It could be that the dialogue is so close to every day speaking that it has kind of taken me by surprise. And what’s with the title to this book? Sounds like a word is missing!
Also, I'm not a fan of this mystical power stuff that's bestowed on someone just because they happen to be wearing or attracted to by some purple vambraces. And who has even hear of vambraces until they've read this story. Even my spellchecker doesn't want to recognize that as a real word (well, my Microsoft speaker checker didn’t, but my MacOS spellcheck did!).
Anyway, we’re with Frank Wolffe and the Space Corps One Marine. Frank has just been promoted to Major and is now in charge of the team. He’s first mission is to go back to Atmos to solidify their alliance. That doesn’t really need satisfying since the Empress and Frank are already deeply involved. But, as an Arilion Knight from Atmos (that’s where he got his vambraces), he’s obligated to go back there and be seen.
Unfortunately, as soon as his team steps through the gateway and he sees Empress Vega, her General and the old Historian, the side of the gateway room explodes! Someone has attacked the royal grounds at the most inopportune time. After recovering and making sure Vega is alright, Frank takes off after the criminal. Witnesses said he was riding some kind of aircycle and flew towards the forest. Frank catches up with the guy and notices that his vambraces are glowing orange! They get into a horrendous fight with Frank winding up tied to a tree and his vambraces trapped under at net. The guy could have killed Frank with the amount of power he displayed. So, why didn’t he?
And that’s the rest of the story. Once Frank recovers, he and his team go after this new threat. They meet up with Sava and a new Arilion Knight by the name of Yur’l. His a bird man and not very much of a warrior. So why did the vambraces seek him out and declare him an Arilion Knight? Read the book and you might or might not find out.

Another good book in the series.
This is another good book in the series, plenty of action, plenty of humor, and additional character development. I did not like Frank Wolf, I did not like his personality, I thought he was A jerk and did not deserve his powers. I was not going to read any more books in the series but I thought I would give this one a try anyway frank’s attitude might be changing so I will continue to read the next book. I enjoyed the action, the characters, it was just Frank’s attitude that put me off. If you as a reader who likes super powers such as Green Lantern possesses you may enjoy this book.

Still to much like other storylines
If you forget about other books you have read and TV shows you have watched, then this series of books would get a far higher rating. Unfortunately it's impossible to do so and you are left trying to see any originality in the books at all
The stories are ok, the characters fun and the humour worthy of a stand up, but it still fails to get past the "seen it all before" scenario
If you want an easy read that doesn't tax and is not that original, then you will enjoy these

Review of: Face Towards Enemy ( Gateway to the Galaxy Book 4)
Well I have kinda gotten hooked on the series. Can't say I'm crazy about ever Sci To Book I read is about a bunch of Jarheads. What ever happened to all of the other elite troopers Airborne, Seals, S.F., Rangers, and Para Rescue. Guys we have many branches that one could write about. Give the poor old leather necks a break. Write about someone else AIRBORNE!

Gah!!!!! Way to twist a story and leave us wanting more.
These two authors have gelled together well; producing a series well worth the read. Sinister changes in direction let us continue to follow Frank and Sava thru their adventures. Amazing that the development has taken such a short time frame. Rolling from one sleepless night to another in battles that make me feel as bruised as our Arilians.

Good
I am really enjoying this series. This book was a great continuation of the story. I love these characters. These books are a nice way to relax and go into another world. Although some of the action makes you be on the edge of your seat. Nice job!
