I found this epic and finished 1-3 and couldn’t stop. It is a cross between ‘Space Family Robinson’ & ‘The Terminator.’ The characters make you love them or hate them. The action and suspence is breathtaking. Our solar system is small compared to the egos and big corporations. Follow the fight. Now, I need to find the next one in the series. There is more to learn and characters to follow. Ms. Jennings adds additional enjoyment to the stories. Highly recommend.

Roller-coaster
You have probably read books1-3 so this continues the saga. 0 to 60 in .06 seconds stop in .03 go again!
Vesta burning changes gears and runs in different direction. Scatters the story to winds but the pieces come together again. Great stories and characters. Will continue reading all I can from MD Cooper and company. Watch out for the parrots! Enjoy

I didn't think I would get into these "older" books in the Aeon14 universe, but I am all into these characters. I think by the end of the Solar wars we will see the emergence of the main protags for the Orion war...

Predictable?
Not exactly predictable, but close enough since it was almost impossible to care about the characters in the way necessary to make surprises surprising.

Not a bad addition
Not a bad addition but for some reason I had a tough time getting through these books, couldn't really say why.
