The Oblivion Saga #2
Oblivion Flight
A scientific experiment goes horribly wrong. The earth…the galaxy…the universe is destroyed. And there’s only one person to blame…you.
Captain Jeff Bowers has been resurrected by an alien race—leaving him with mysterious powers…powers that could turn the tide of galactic war in the humans’ favor.
While testing those powers, a final experiment lands Jeff and his crew in an alternate reality, very much the same as their universe…and very different.
Uncertain who to trust, Jeff discovers that enemies are friends, and old friends turn out to be enemies…and nothing is as it seems.
Jeff must sort out where his loyalties lie, and what side to take in a galactic war between Earth and her rebellious colonies. Most of all, he wants to know what happened to the universe he left behind—if it’s even there at all…
Oblivion Flight is the second book in the thrilling Oblivion saga. If you love Star Trek and Starship Troopers, you simply cannot pass up this adventure.

The enjoyable read continues
The story gets more complicated and remains enthralling. It even makes the odd grammatical error seem frivolous, and doesn't spoil the fun. It took less than a day to finish the book, I'm looking forward to the next in the series. Recommended read

Exciting overall
The book continues the story of the doomsday weapon that the main character controls. I liked him better as a broken isolated wreck, really. In a command situation he is still headstrong, moody, self-absorbed but he also self-indulgently hurts the people who depend on him especially his supportive astrophysicist girlfriend. I don't challenge the authenticity of the characters or the relationships but the main character is a sad case study. It's refreshingly difficult to identify with such a head-up-his-ass main character. I love these writers.
The characters and the background are well drawn and as detailed as they need be. The human race is wonderfully described as a varied cultural and ethnic enterprise. It's refreshing to see our species written as containing such breadth, rather than the current American practice that it only consists of all English named, U.S. characters, destined to control this and all other galaxies.
There are cautionary novels like "Wool" that describe attempts by the U.S. government to destroy the rest of the human race to ensure that reality. Past and current Nazis (American) openly embrace that course. I think that other writers might want to read this book, "Wool" and others. Hopefully they will retreat from their present immature, limited descriptions of humanity after considering the embedded political positions and social impact of their future worlds.
This book has great naval battles and my only issue is that battle cruisers are the heaviest of heavy warships. Battle ships will always have pride of place in my heart. Make it an old fashioned line of battle vs line of battle and I'm happy. Actually the biggest battle is reminiscent of the naval brawls that were the norm before the Dutch and British navies established their fighting instructions (approved fleet maneuvers, approved squadron formations, etc.). Besides missing the battle ships, the crew sizes of the battle cruisers seem small, more fitting for a frigate.
It's a good balance of people, political structures and tech. The writing is good. The plot is interesting. It keeps me wondering what happens to the universe.
It's a technology that I don't think that I've ever seen before. It's a good series, so far. I hate to jinx it by saying that. I've been so embarrassed writing that in the past, then watching a potentially awesome series, devolve. I'm ready for the next book.

Moves to story along....
There are some holes in this Space Opera which leaves me wondering but they aren't big deal breakers. The violence turned a little medieval for a space drama and it has it's share of fan boy remarks made at odd moments. Not sure where we are going so I will move on to book 3. Perhaps we will have some things cleared up.

I dont think I can finish this series because of the narrator. I think it's a perfectly adequate military space opera, but I cant tell who is speaking and the narrator delivers every sentence as if it ends with an exclamation point.
I may return to it to read, but I doubt it.

This series has been a really fun read so far. And this second book is nonstop action with really compelling battle sequences and well-told character development. I haven’t enjoyed a sci-fi read like this in some time.

Light and amusing, but i still wish the series was written by someone more focused on character driven writing

Really exciting
I have read the first two books of this series so far and really loved them. Wonderful action, and space battles. Would make a great movie or tv show.
