Never Submit
One Last Hail Mary attack by those on Earth goes awry when the Queen herself shows up with John Grimes along for the ride.
Five puppies have plans that surprise everyone.
The Queen has a problem, and her closest friends travel to Earth to find her a solution.
It's time for an audience with the King of Yoll, and he isn't going to like the outcome. Not one bit. He has a secret he has been hiding, and those sneaky Aliens in space find out what it is, and turn it against him.
Never Surrender
Bethany Anne and those in the Etheric Empire have conquered the Aliens who would conquer Earth.
However, there are a few that do not appreciate the new rules. Dealing with insurrectionists down on the planet, or with a large military rebellion coming from another system, Bethany Anne and team are ready and willing to give everyone a piece of their mind.
Forever Defend
Some forget why she was called the Queen Bitch.
Not Anymore.
Bethany Anne is going stir crazy after more than a decade of having to be 'The Empress.' Now, her advisors have to deal with an Empress who is determined to be on the front line.
The Ixtali's come to the Etheric Empire, hat in hand.
The Skaine are able to finally get Ranger Tabitha's group right were their missiles can attack. The problem is, who is sucking whom into a trap?
Might Makes Right
The Leath are fighting for their Gods, but Bethany Anne is fighting for freedom.
Then, the Leath make a very fatal mistake.
On another planet, the Leath dishonor the Etheric Empire's warriors and Bethany Anne unleashes her new avatar and there will be hell to pay.
For those that believe Might Makes Right, Bethany Anne is about to explain how that can be so, so wrong.
Ahead Full
The Kurtherian's which rule the Leath have made a fatal mistake.
Their prime intelligence officer finds what they have done in his past.
Other people have made moves against the Queen Bitch's people, and she sends Baba Yaga after them.
Bethany Anne goes Ahead Full on taking out enemies of the Empire, while Ranger Tabitha helps uncover a Skaine effort and brings the Bitch's themselves to help clean up the mess.
Capture Death
Baba Yaga has taken over and no one knows if Bethany Anne will ever come back.
Beaten on the crucible, Bethany Anne decided she will bring justice to the Kurtherian's that tortured the Leath and her people, personally.
The problem? She releases Baba Yaga who has now taken control.
Even ADAM and TOM aren't sure they can help their friend.
Life Goes On
It is finished... Sweat dripping off her brow as the threads started long ago start to fuse together.

This wasn't what I expected ...
I picked up book one after a Buffy reference. I started the series and soon realized it was so much more. Sci-Fi isn't usually my thing. Military thrillers aren't either. Space, aliens, huge cast of characters to keep track of ... Not usually things I'm into.
But I could not put these books down. The story intrigued me and the characters hooked me. Everything is well written, it's almost like seeing a movie play in your brain as you read. If that makes sense.
I read the 4 book Michael series and now can't wait to five into the next series to see where BA goes next.
One of the best series that I have ever read.

Absolutely brilliant
Read all 21 books back to back in less than 20 days. Could not stop reading them, it gets compulsive. You just want to know what going to happen next
The first 7 are earth bound, but set the scene brilliantly, I won't go into the details or the review will become a book in itself, just to say that it is rather a weird take on Sci-Fi, initially being more fantasy with Werewolves and Vampires, but it all comes together nicely and then just progresses on from there as they venture into space
My only word of warning is, some people may find parts a tad religious/cult like and it is, and while I dislike that concept and don't think it needed to be as heavily done, it does make a kind of sense for the whole end to end story
I would heartily recommend this series of books to anyone that likes Sci-Fi, especially those that enjoy military and/or conquest storylines

A Most Excellent Ending - Sort Of?
It's too bad that none of the books have a rating of 5+, 5++ or so on. My rating for this last book of the KG Boxed Set Three would easily be a 6+ out of one through five!
Yes, 6+!
Wow. Just, wow.
I had never read the individual books of the Kurtherian Gambit series, except for book one. All of them have delighted in their Boxed Set lives; this last one, however, has more than just delighted.
This book, and the series, have made me glad I learned to read!
I think I will stop my review here. Any more and I risk telling you so much that I might as well rewrite the book. You can do that in your own review if you choose. ( See how I assume you are going to read the next books, whether omnibus or individuals? And how I assume there will BE other books?)
Goodbye, and enjoy all the fish!

whispers in the night
Baba Yaga has come out to enforce the Etheric Empire rules for her Empress. she has left behind her friends and family to run everything and to mourn her. TOM and ADAM are watching her and have their own plans to help Bethany Anne come home.
science is so fun. people on a planet far, far away made it that way. starships going where none had gone before , made it fun. Bethany Anne and her friends have made it even more fun. the plausibilities are all there. the what if's seem like we can pull the schematics right out of the computer. and i still want a giant white German Shepherd. This has been soooo much fun.

Six books.
TKG is finalised in these six books. But that isn’t the end! The Kurtherian Endgame is here to continue the saga.
There has been the usual fast paced adventure with BA and her various groups making the unaligned aliens very scared. So scared that they wish to gut the Etheric Empire’s power. So BA and co. set up a charade to make them think that they succeeded. We never really learn how they achieved their goals or how they got to earth as they are just suddenly there. Never mind. We got our HEA (kind of) and are ready to move forward. Good fun. BTW, you become inured to the language.

This KU library selection is the conclusion of the Kutherian Gambit series, but not the end of the story. Bethany Anne has come a long way from her life on Earth a hundred and fifty years in the past. In this boxed set, she goes through challenges that would break most people, but she comes out even stronger. She has never given up on Michael returning from the mostly dead to her. Baba Yaga, her dark side, has become her pressure relief valve. And the new Federation has called for her removal as Empress. But for the QB, "submit" is not in the plans. The KG series ends here and the Kutherian Endgame begins. I can't wait.

Satisfaction at last
When reading a series of books to tell a story bigger than a single novel can hold, it is a great satisfaction to have all the loose ends tied up. In twenty-one books, we meet an amazing bunch of people, come to care about them, and follow along as they have adventures. This is a future vision that takes current science efforts and extrapolates why could happen with just a little luck. Michael Anderle’s thought experiment of a woman pained by injustice and given the ability to do something about it, give rise to a lot of rollicking space operas. Don’t miss this series!

Incredible story line
I had read and enjoyed other series in this world but had avoided the Kurtherian Gambit series.For some reason I had the impression that it was dry and pedantic.I was so wrong. Not sure what 1st got me to read a Bethany Anne book, but I am hooked now. I did not want this series to end. At times it's hard to keep up with all the characters names. And the gaps in story line that are addressed in other series can be a bit disconcerting. But it's easy to ignore because as a reader you just HAVE to know what comes next.

Long series, but i still enjoy it
This has been a long series with other series within this world, but I have still enjoyed each book. I may have to take breaks and read alternate books, but I am always happy to return. I was so mad at the author for killing off Michael, but the author was redeemed when he found a way for Michael to return. I am excited for the endgame and looking forward to seeing what the two of them are going to get into. Several characters have now split off, so I am also looking guy forward to reading about their exploits too.

Just be prepared.
I have finished the first 21 books notably called 'The Kurtherian Gambit' and just have to say it has been a great series. Be prepared to start at book 1 and read until you just have to sleep. Don't start any large projects before you read one of the books because you may not finish your project due to time lost in the series. You will laugh and cry, perhaps get a little angry, but I guarantee reading about Bethany Anne and her Bitches will be a road everyone should travel.

superb, awesome, fantastic and really great series!!!!!
Congratulations to Michael Anderle for this amazing series. This is, I think, the fifth time I’m reading this complete series. All of the Kutherian Sagas are exceptionally entertaining and enjoyable. It’s extremely hard to find such an interesting and exciting author who not only writes intelligently but also provides top rated plots, characters and excitement in the stories. An major plus is that Michael has attracted so many great authors to produce all the other parts of the complete Kutherian Saga.

Need more stars!!
A full on continuation of BA and teams fight to take down the enemy and bullies...no matter where they are in the universe. More of everything included...and a wonderful close to this arc of the journey...with a couple of mysteries yet to be revealed... While there is a lot of jumping (time and view wise) I found that it just meant I had to slow down my reading speed lol ;-) highly recommended to anyone who likes adventure, kicking characters and appreciates creative cursing!!!!!!

These books will take you on a bumpy ride.
Awesome writing, beautiful artwork, and seamless editing make this set a bargain. I like the convenience of having boxed sets. The author(s) sometimes puts the characters in situations I don't like but I enjoy the way the stories tie together. If I could guess what happens next I would stop buying these additive books. Take my money please don't stop!

Fantastic conclusion
What can I say, but, fanfrickintastic conclusion to this series. I have never been so happy to have a HEA in a book, let alone a series than this one. AND what a way to bring it about, absolutely made me have tears of joy running down my face. Bethany Ann so needed her HEA with the love of her life and Michael Anderle did it complete justice, you da man Anderle!!
Now to complete Michael’s last book and move onto the next series in the Kutherian Universe.

GRAND SERIES
I have been following breadcrumbs and been led down the rabbit hole of great entertainment. Having 21 books in a series leads to binge reading, worse than Net Flicks bingeing. Being lead to even more authors and books has been great
Hurray for indi authors. Addicted readers love you.

Great ... as usual
Michael Anderle has rapidly become one of my favorite authors. I had despaired of finding a contemporary writer I could enjoy as much as Heinlein, Niven, and their ilk :) until I lucked into Anderle. Characters, social experiments, science fiction, psychology...it’s all there. I’m a fan.

Read this series for days of vicarious ass kicking.
I resisted reading this series because sci fi isn't my thing. I was so wrong. It is my thing. I fell hard for these characters, the math, and the justice. BA is everything I wanted and more.
Also, read the author notes. They gave me perspective and context for some events and people. Plus he's funny as he'll.

What a ride!
21 book read. And worth every penny. Terrific characters, a bit reminiscent of the Lensman characters only here it is a female lead. No spoilers, but if you like space adventure, opera and a bit of sci fan, then don't miss this series. One of the best reads in a few years

darn good series
kind of dragged through the last 2 books, but understandable with tying all those threads up. I will say I really appreciated the use of the same methodology as Quintin Tarrentino... ramp up the tension, then make you laugh your a$$ off. And, darn it, sometimes made me lose sleep reading. Many thanks to the author and team for a wonderful set of books!!!

The circle is now complete.
Michael Anderle does a great job finishing up the Kutherian Gambit. There was the usual page-turning action with enough twists and turns to keep you guessing. He handled the passage of time very well and brought a number of story arcs to conclusion, as well as setting up and launching several more. I thoroughly enjoyed this seven-book boxed set.

OMG - I have throughly enjoyed this entire series
I have not read any of the related series yet!
I get the impression that there is more to this coming
I am going to go find all the related stories before I progress on this.
This story was great in and of itself, tying off many stories, in addition it set up a whole other future!
Really looking forward to more!
Thank you

I love this series, it contains action, drama and lots of laughs.
Bethany Anne, empress of the federation, builds her empire from strength to strength. Unfortunately she does the job a little too well. When she has defeated all her enemies and absorbed them into the federation, they rebel against her and want her to resign. How she reacts, is not in any way part of their plan.

Great read
This is a fun and exciting series full of interesting and "real" characters. MA has created a unique and versatile world which is able to transcend genres and continues to be written in by himself and other authors. I look forward to reading more from the TKG group.

Still going strong.
Now 21 books into this series and I can’t decide if I want to keep going forward or back up a little to fill in the holes. I just can’t get enough of this story.
