Space Knight 4

Rate this book
The knighthood examination has arrived.

Few squires pass the initial round, and even fewer make it through the final test alive. The odds are stacked against every squire, but the Stalwart crew uncovers a Pure-Blood noble conspiracy to sabotage Nick and his friends.

But Nicholas welcomes the opposition. This is the moment of his dreams, and nothing will stop the Stalwart squires from entering the illustrious order of Space Knights.

Action Galore!!!

I am really really loving this series, and I am always looking forward to more. Really love the action, and all the diverse characters. It is a smooth read, a page turner, and you will not want to put it down... I definitely recommend Space Knights...

Nicholas and the kick ass crew of the Stalwart are back at RTF central while the squires take their knighthood examination. Of course there are all kins of plots and machinations by various factions that cause the Stalwart crew and Nicholas to have to kick butt and take names.

Been a squire for a few months, time to meet the queen?
The equipment, battles, and space travel continue to provide a solid backbone for this series.

It does seem way to soon for Lyons to start acting on the interplanetary political level. Its also becoming somewhat routine that no-matter the odds, no matter how experienced the enemy is, he always wins.

I think the story could have been more human if, for instance, Lyons had to sacrifice himself to save his friend in the final arena battle, instead of winning that as well despite his enemy blatantly and overwhelmingly cheating. The other knights trials were fun so far as they went, but I think there could have been a lot more interesting detail and range in the challenges and evaluation process.

The development of mutations and how they work is a fun side-arc in the story.

The queen turning out to be nice normal person, and the betray and uprising at the palace were pretty standard fare. There was one decent unexpected turn with Finn's parents.

Battle song rises in the Blood

Nick is finally up to realise his dreams of being a Knight but as forces come against the crew of the Stalwart whats come before might just have been the warm up.
Another excellent novel from MSE and his finest yet in the series, a real page tuner with an amazing balance of action, suspense and camaraderie with a splash of harem that hes famous for.
Suffice to say that book 5 will be eagerly anticipated even if my patience for its wait is worn thin. Being a proliferate autjor with many outstanding series to his name shows just how talented an author can be.

A series that's getting better and better

For those who have read Earle's Lion's Quest series, you're going to be one happy camper with Space Knight 4. The scope of the series keeps growing, Nick keeps getting better and better (more skilled, naturally, but also more enjoyable to read), and the depth of the magic and the world continues to delight.

I can't wait for book 5!

(And if you haven't read Lion's Quest, read it! Space Knight and Lion's Quest are birds of a feather, and if you're liking this enough to be looking at book 4, you're sure to enjoy Lion's Quest.)

Keeps getting better and better.

This book makes things in the series grander, yet the characters remain human, in both the best and worst ways possible. The heroes are good without being perfect, and the villains aren't two dimensional. The action is great, and the relationships between the characters make the book even better. I say bring on book five, I'm more than ready to read it.

Epic swashbuckling.

Kindle Unlimited - Thank you!
Ditto whatever good stuff anyone else has to say. I can't imagine what it must be like to live with a mind that has so many incredible stories playing through it at the same time. Then, to have the talent, skill, and discipline to author and publish the stories at such a high level of craft? Beyond impressive. Heartfelt thanks for doing what you do MSE.

Amazing

A good addition to the space knights series. However I did notice a few typos but they didn't break the story. I'm eager for the next book to come out it's a perfect blend of litrpg and fantasy reminds me of how I felt reading star wars before Disney castrated the franchise

A marked improvement.

I wasn't entirely on board with this series despite reading most of Michael Scott-Earle's other work, but this book really picked up and had some great moments. I wish Nicholas got injured a bit more instead of taking hits and shrugging them off, but overall it was entertaining and well done.

Wickedly Cool

As usual Mike wrote another in the many of his series of books that you just can't wait to get to the next paragraph \page. To see what's going to happen next, whether it's Hard hitting Action that he can make you visualize or a room with one of his girlfriend's, or drinking Beer with his Friends. God Bless you Mike, for Helping me stay same lol!

What is there to say

I have read alot of MSE's books and Space Knight 4 is hands down his best novel to date. I have no clue how this series isn't his best selling, the characters are great, the story and universe building are phenomenal. Cannot wait to get my hands on the next adventure of the Stalwart. MOTHER F'N KNIGHTS IN SPACE!!!!!

Space Fun!

Space Knight is a fun Series that gets better with each book! This book spends focus on the knight exam, meaning... the series name is finally accurate - there might be a space knight as the lead char!

But maybe not. Who knows? Read and find out.

Eagerly awaited, and not disappointed.

The series builds from strength to strength. Don't get me wrong - we're not talking about a literary epic here, but a VERY enjoyable and entertaining series of books none the less.

This series keeps getting better

I find it takes me a few days to start each book in this series, but once it gets going I can't put it down. The gamelit aspects are interesting and I find myself growing more interested in the storyline and setting with each volume.

Machine man

I have no idea how Michael writes at the pace he does, especially with all the varying characters and worlds that he must seperate within the chaotic maelstrom that is his mind.
He has once again enthralled me in yet another of his worlds. Well done.

Mort d'Arthur in a galaxy far far away

This is the most excellent book so far. Nick's test matures him far beyond his years and plots unfold in unexpected directions. VERY unputdownable!

Outstanding!

The story just keeps getting better, the characters keep getting better (and more interesting), and Nick has become something even more special. This series is space opera at it’s best! Highly recommended!

A page turner. I read the first 4 books on my week of vacation. Action and adventure with a little romance. Well done.

To all sci-fi fantasy types. Buy it and hold on it is a ride you won't forget. The characters are great and I can see this going on for several more books.

Swash buckling adventures!

In a way this reminds me of the old B&W tv shows, Flash Gotdon and Buck Rogers but given a modern twist! Very tongue in cheek but enjoyable.
Has more of a Star Wars feel than Star Trek!
The Stalwart crew are so OTT! You can't help but smile!

Best of the series, and quickly becoming the best by this author

The story continues, and Nick is undergoing his knighthood examination. There are new enemies, and we get a pretty good guess as to what Nick's specialization will be. 10/10
