Renegade Star #9
Renegade Union
How did I get here?
After waking up on the floor of an unknown ship, and with no way of contacting his crew, Captain Jace Hughes is forced to fight his way through a myriad of soldiers. With no memory of the battle or how he arrived on the ship, he has no choice but to act.
By shooting his way out.
Along the way, Jace must rescue survivors, fill the missing gaps in his memory, and stop the enemy from accomplishing their goal--a mission that could lead to the destruction of Earth and all its people.
But with most of his crew missing and no sign of reinforcements, there's little hope to be had. To make matters worse, there's a hostage on the ship, and the enemy will stop at nothing to defend their new prize.

In this installment Jace goes solo with Lex the Eternal child, running into wild adventures and impossible scenarios. The defense of maintaining Earth’s location a secret is more difficult day by day. This series will feed the imagination of anyone with an interest in space or the future of humanity on other worlds. An absolute page turner!

Just as exciting as the first!
Renegade Union is Book 9 in the Renegade Star series and a thrilling addition to an already addictive collection. This storyline focuses on a wounded Jace as he and Lex rush to save their crew members. Full of exciting scenes and tense action, JN Chaney continues to deliver. Highly recommend!

Spiraling out of control
If you’ve been reading the Renegade books, Renegade Union raises the ante. The politics and power struggles become complex than ever before and war with both the Union and Sarcon are on the horizon,

This was a fun series! It was so amazing that I blasted through the series and forgot to write individual reviews. I'll be posting a review of the entire series on the page for book one, but I didn't want to keep my enthusiasm to myself. So, I’m sharing this ringing endorsement of the series, here, on the individual book pages. They were all epic in their own right, though there were times I thought I might have a heart attack during the action scenes! And can we talk about how awesome the narrator was? Wow, just wow! Overall, this series was a fun read and I was able to gloss over the near-death experiences!
My full review for this series doesn't fit, so read it here: https://jrhandley.com/2020/04/10/book...
My Overall Thoughts:
Okay, let’s get into the weeds on this one! I’ve organized my overall assessment by putting the stuff I didn’t like first so we can end on a high note. I also want to be clear that I really loved this series overall, it’s why I plowed through the audiobooks so quickly that I had to write a series review instead of an individual one for each of the six novels that make up The Renegade Star Series.
Alright, let’s rip off the band-aide and dive in. There were many parts that I wasn’t thrilled with in this series. First, the lack of details about the world was disheartening. I’m a guy who prefers all of the details, and I wasn’t given that in this series. This is a different type of book than I usually read, more pulp than anything, so some of that can generally be addressed by the fact that I’m not his ideal audience. However, I wouldn’t be fair if I didn’t mention that this was something I didn’t particularly like.
Another issue with the books was the profanity. I’m aware that the books description out a warning about the crude language. That normally bothers me, however, when you’re hooked on the fast-paced story, you want to listen every chance you get. I couldn’t do that if my kids were around, so this is more of an annoyance than anything because I went in with eyes wide open. Again, it wasn’t the profanity itself so much as the way that limited my ability to listen to the audiobooks. Luckily, this book is in the Kindle Unlimited program, and you can read it for free if you hit a patch where your rug rats won’t give you room to breathe.
I chose this book because the covers and the premise sounded entertaining, and I wasn’t disappointed. However, this book was very much a pulp novel and didn’t give me a lot to sink my teeth into. As many of you know, I’m the kind of reader that wants all the details in the novels I read. Some of this is just my own oddities, but I really like the little descriptions of the world that flush it out for me. I don’t just want to know that the character fired a blaster, I want the make and model. Again, some of this is just my preference, so this lack of detail was annoying, but not so much that I couldn’t keep reading because I obviously blazed through the series.
Another minor announcement I had was the lack of proper naval terminology. The main character calls the bulkheads walls and calls the decks a floor. I grew up in a Navy town, so hearing vessels using proper terminology always catches my attention. However, these traditions could change in the future, so this is really just nitpicking for the sake of my review.
My one major complaint about the story, aside from like details, was the character’s lack of reaction to killing. I’ve been in situations where you were required in someone else’s life, thank you Iraq, and there is always an emotional response to the action. I did not feel like the main character, Jace Hughes, ever felt remorse for the people he killed. It was just the thing he did, and then he’s callously shrugged it off. The combat veteran, this bugs me, but I’m sure most readers would never notice this.
Alright, now let’s talk about the happy things! One of the things that I liked about the series was the way characters grew as the story developed across the 13 novels. This is an area where the author grew as a creator, and it showed. I can’t really say anything else about the specific category because that would give spoilers, but trust me, it’s worth waiting for the big reveal later in the series.
Another area that struck me with this series was the audio narration. I loved this audiobook, Luke Daniels gave one of his trademarked top-notch performances. My only complaint in this arena was the way the main character socked on hard candy. However, this was more about the author’s characterization and how it translated to audiobooks, but it was about Luke’s performance. However, if especially noticeable in the morning and audiobook format. Despite that one minor complaint, this audiobook was a rollicking good adventure! Seriously, if you weren’t already hooked on Luke, this book would get you there! This was one of the many areas where this series really shined for me.
What did shine was the amazing premise of this book series. This definitely hit on all of the tropes that I love about science fiction, but not in a way that felt derivative. He carried it out in a way that somehow became uniquely his own thing. I found shades of the short-lived Firefly television show and the anime Outlaw Star that inspired it. There was also a Star Wars meets Indiana Jones element to this series, which kept you glued to the edge of your seat, waiting to see what happens next. Oh, and some of the reviewers called the series a mash-up of Andromeda and Battlestar Galactica. I agreed with them, though I didn’t see it at first. Once I read the review, the comparison was obvious!
If I haven’t said it enough, I REALLY loved the basic premise of this series. The concept of a grand adventure, trying to solve the mysteries of the universe, struck the right chord for me. It was very much. The Da Vinci Code in space, which I really liked. The fact that it was written in first person made you much more connected to the adventure, which I really appreciated. All of this combined, and you end up with a series of books that are a lot of fun to read. Seriously, it’s pulpy popcorn comfort food. Except you won’t regret eating it, because it’s calorie-free.
One of the overarching themes of the series that I enjoyed was the classic story of good versus evil. This was your typical David versus Goliath story except you had blaster since the slingshots. While the main character wasn’t quite the everyman, he was close enough that you ended up rooting for him and cheering as the bad guys get taken down a peg or two. There’s a Union officer whose face you want to smash in, but luckily Jace wants to do the same thing, and so you get a vicarious thrill of living for him. Isn’t that why we read fiction in the first place?
Oh, and I really loved the way Chaney explained his science of faster than light travel (FTL). It had just the right amount of Handwavium to keep me happy. Because of the structure of the story, he never felt let down by the lack of a more detailed explanation of how the science works. Instead, you have a character who doesn’t know and so can’t tell you. This is one of the beauties of the first-person narration done right!
Finally, I thoroughly enjoyed the more direct language that the author chose to use. It had a very Tom Clancy-esq vibe with simple words that avoided the tendency towards a pretentious use of big words, whether they were needed or not. It made it possible for Luke Daniels to give the stellar performance that he did with his narration, which I obviously loved. I know this style of writing isn’t for everyone, but it was something that I thoroughly enjoyed.
I wish I could gush more about the series, but I can’t think of ways to do this justice without giving spoilers. So… have I hinted that I enjoyed this universe yet? Good, I want it to be obvious! So, to wrap this bad boy up, I loved this series. Each one of these novels was at least 75,000 words long, about what you expect from the genre. Despite the length, each book felt like a quick read. If you didn’t know how long each novel was, you could almost imagine them as short stories. This is because they were so engrossing that the reader loses track of time while they temporarily live in the story. The author definitely made me want more from this universe, and I’ll definitely be reading the follow-on series that are already available.
In conclusion, I was hooked from the first page/minute! JN Chaney wove the action into this fun space opera romp that made me lose track of time. Basically, he had me hooked from the beginning and kept it going throughout the whole series. These are books that I would happily recommend, and an author I will definitely read again. While I don’t see myself diving more into the pulp side of the house, I don’t regret swimming in this pool of awesomesauce! Buy these novels! But hey, it’s easy to spend someone else’s money! I give these books a 5 out of 5 grenades!

I have to say that this book felt a bit like a step down in terms of enjoyment for me.
The books starts with Hughes waking up not really knowing where he is but obviously he is badly screwed. Then, for most of the part, it is a long sequence of flipping back and forth in time between Hughes extricating himself from this situation and how he ended up in it in the first place.
I really did not like this. I do not like books with a lot of flashbacks in general and this was nothing but a long string of flashbacks. I would have much preferred if this story was told in a more linear fashion.
For the story itself, well, unfortunately I did not care very much for that one either but that’s more of a personal taste.
Hughes & Co approaches the Union with news of the new threat and at the beginning it seems to go in the right direction. Unfortunately a pissant Admiral with a way overgrown ego and ingrown hatred for Hughes & Co not only decides to go behind his supervisors back but using the Union’s enemies to do it. So of course shit hits the fan which leads us to a sequence of action events, breakouts, rescues and, of course now Hughes & Co are chased by the Union again.
The book is not really bad on a chapter per chapter basis. It has a lot of what I liked about the previous books, characters, action etc…, in it. But I got so annoyed by the constant jumping back and forth and by the fact that this entire shitstorm was due to previously mentioned pissant Admiral.
At least the ending epilogue was fairly cool although I would have liked a somewhat different outcome from it. One where that asswipe Admiral was taken out of future books.
Well, I guess one can not have everything one wants.

After a very long break between reading JN Chaney’s last renegade book to this one, I was slightly out of sorts.. I needed to play catch up and boy was I in for a ride.
The book opens with Jace almost suffering with amnesia, and for me, because I had read the previous book months before, I actually felt like I’d suffered it alongside Jace!
I was like should I remember what’s happening right now, did I forget why this is the way it is...??!
As I kept reading, I was drawn right back into the fast paced, heart racing adventure..
Reading JN’s books are like a weekend on crack... as soon as you start reading, you cannot put it down, and you can’t stop until you’ve devoured it.
I’m itching for my next fix.. renegade empire... I NEEEEED to know what’s happening next!!

Pretty good read but flawed
I like the storyline and I like most of the character interaction. I normally don't get too bogged down in tech details in space operas. I expect a certain amount of hand waving on future tech. That said be consistent with your tech. It annoys me that the renegade uses a revolver as his main weapon. The colt 1911 is over a hundred years old now. They story line starts after earth has been lost to history for 2000 years. So you expect they not be using weapon tech from the 19th century. But for some reason they are. A revolver does not have a magazine that can be ejected and slammed back into place as was described in chapter 14. If they are still using bullets and chemical propellant I would expect renegades to use a pistol and submachine gun or sort of a carbine for cramped/tight conditions. I would also expect most would use the same ammo for both.

Crossed and double crossed
Things certainly get interesting when the Renegade starts brokering a cease fire with the alliance. And the Sarkonians, always with their eyes on the all mighty dollar, take advantage of an opportunity that puts Alex in more danger than ever before.
I think I enjoyed this book because it was a step back from the Jace leader of earths people, and back to his beginnings as Jace the Renegade. While the threats aren’t the epic proportions of the previous novel, they are no less life threatening. I look forward to what comes next.

Jace is injured and on a Sarkonian ship with no knowledge of how he got there. He hears on the coms that the prisoner they are trying to interrogate will not talk. They are going to begin torture methods to get what they want. Our Renegade sucks up the pain, channels his anger, and starts killing Sarkons to save his crewmember. You just gotta love this man! This book was really exciting and moves the Earth saga forward.

Renegade Union. J.N. Chaney
Renegade Captain Jace Hughes Is trying to form an alliance with Union forces against an unstoppable alien species called the Celestials. The Union views Jace and his followers as enemies. Perhaps the most formidable enemy of theirs in the entire galaxy. This is an action filled novel. Enjoyed immensely!

Renegade Union is another fun little jaunt in the Renegade Star universe. Per all the previous books in the series, it is a fun fast read. While there is a fun little adventure, this book is mainly a stage setter for the arriving new big bads. If you enjoyed the previous books, you will probably enjoy this one.

Right into the thick of things!
We are thrown into the middle of Jace’s predicament, as clueless as he is. We learn what happens as Jace does, and what a story! More intrigue, betrayal, backstabbing, and battles. The politics he left behind refuse to be left behind, and Jace is gearing up for the fight of his life.

Another great book in the series.
Same review as before.
—————
Quick, easy, fun read.
It’s like a young Han Solo (Star Wars) or Malcolm Reynolds (Firefly/Serenity). Great fun.
I wish there were not so many swear words throughout the book. While not necessarily gratuitous, definitely over the top excessive and unnecessary.

Good but different
I was confused as I started reading this book, but once I figured out what was happening the story was still good, but not great. For me this had too much action, I actually skimmed through some of it trying to get back to the story. Still want to know what's going to happen so downloading the next book.

Pear-shaped peace treaty!
Jace wakes up on a Sarkonian ship without any memory of how he got there and catches a broadcast about an Eternal being interrogated.

Another great renegade adventure
I get a kick out of the renegade universe. Jade is a tough guy with a heart handling whatever the galaxy throws at him. Space opera at its best.

Another well written episode, right amount of action and dialogue ,glad to see Lex take a more active role and think Abbi should try to get over her past n fares, and start to train Lex. A great read, looking forward to the other books.

This was slightly different for the Renegade series but a welcomed one. Of Jace being, Jace always kicks butt at what he does and protects who he loves. I like where things are heading and cannot wait for the future.

This was an interesting approach. Being dropped into the thick of it, with a character with no memory and having to fill in the gaps as he goes. Definitely different than the previous stories, but no less enjoyable.

Fantastic series
This is an exciting series with lots of wonderful characters, plenty of action and mysteries to solve. I just hate having to wait for the next book to come out.

I love these Space Operas. Just wish they were Novel length. I devour them too quickly.

New take. Still awesome
I really enjoyed the new start. Even got me a little concerned not knowing what happening and why. Really love the series and universe as a whole.

Fast read
Very good story line. Good cast of characters. Only drawback only 207 pages of story. It took me just a coked hours to read. Wish it was longer.
