The Kurtherian Endgame #7
The Valkyrie Returns
Mixing Bethany Anne and politics is inevitably going to cause an explosion. Unfortunately for the Federation council, she’s the only one with the power to take the fight to the Kurtherians.
But not for long…
Gödel wants her revenge for Qu’Baka. Unbeknownst to Bethany Anne, the Seven are approaching Devon. Gödel’s bold move has far-reaching consequences for everyone playing the game.
While coming to a solution to the sideshow on Red Rock, an old friend returns, reminding Bethany Anne of a time when things were simpler. See enemy. Kick enemy’s ass.
Sit back and drink a Coke because she isn’t stopping to take names.
---
This book contains cursing. Perhaps humorous cursing, but cursing nevertheless. If this offends you, I don't suggest reading this book.

Returning with Vengeance
Book 7 starts where 6 ended. I am still amazed that there needs to be a glossary at the beginning. You could start with reading this book but not get the acronyms, characters and so on. Just dive into the first 18 books in TKG universe then all the offshoots and come back to the endgame series. The Author et. al. have a nice website to help you find all the books so check it out...and no I don’t work for the publishing company that was created from the real life collective.

Explosive!
The storyline is increasing in intensity, and we see things coming together for BA and her people. I’m up way past my bedtime as I just couldn’t put it down until I finished! The next book is going to be mind blowing, I know it already.

Back in Black
BA is back to kicking Kurtherian ass ( do they even have asses?)!! Great book!!
Anyway, I tried to read slower, but couldn't. Does anyone else hit the 80% point and try like hell to draw out the rest cause you know the next book is at least 3 months away??

Only one word to describe this book, BRILLIANT!!
Michael Andersen, how do you do it? How in the world or galactical air space do you come up with amazing storyline’s that keep the reader intrigued and pulled in, because you do it so damn well! Bethany Ann would have to be THE BEST CHARACTER I have ever read. In this book we see her meting out justice as she only knows how, with lots of saving and destruction. She is on the path to take out the Kutherians and their pumping-out soldiers factories whilst trying to protect her people and the species in the Federation.

MA please write FASTER!!!
Can't believe I caught up before the end of this series was published!!! Now I've joined the rest of you in begging for MA and his amazing coauthors to spin their addictive tales faster!!!
Here's something I wish I had known from the beginning, to find up to date info on the reading order of the KGU, go to it's FB page and search in the files! I guess it's a kinda good thing that I didn't discover that until after I was into the Age of Expansion, bc I can now go back and read the tales I missed, while impatiently waiting for MA to get out the rest of BA's journey to save Earth and humankind AND every other species she has encountered since she started her quest to find and obliterate the evil Kurtherians!!!

As usual with any BA book, this one was a powerful read.
BA is doing her best to protect those outside of the Federation who live under her protection but, despite their attitude towards her, she also wants to protect those innocents within the Federation, too.
Unfortunately, to do that, she needs to come to an agreement with them, and she also needs to tell them that the leader of the Seven - those Kurtherian clans that are the enemies of all BA holds dear - is planning to launch an attack on the Federation, and so she wants to help them plan a defense.
But, before anything was put in place, BA's own people are attacked, and it will take everything she has, and more, to protect her people, then take the fight back to the factories that produce the voracious Ooken, and where they hold many species that are imprisoned purely to use their DNA to make the Ooken invincible.
BA and Michael call on all of their people to help fight the Ooken, and rescue the prisoners so cruelly used, but it takes more power than she should expend, and she is almost near death, before she knows it, determined to rescue everyone possible.
This is a great book and, as usual, was unputdownable. I'll never get bored reading a Bethany Anne book, and can't wait to read the next one which, luckily for me, is the next book on my reading list: If All Else Fails, which is book 7.5, of The Kurtherian Endgame!
Yay!

Most of the first half of the book was really a series of ‘displacement activities’ while the author got around to the main event. I wasn’t really sure about this part of the book and ended up skipping through the ‘Haunted House’ escapades.
When the ‘big’ fight arrived it was fun, but over surprisingly quickly. The rest of the book carried on in a fairly typical manner, with BA looking to destroy the Kurtherian factories and rescue the slave workers.
Overall this was a fun read and if possible I might have given 3.5 stars. When I came to add a short review I noticed that of the twenty-three reviews already written, twenty-three were five stars, either this really was a brilliant book and I'm out of step with everybody else or something strange was going on?

Oh my!
What happens when you steal a pair of heels that are special to BA? Our less than favorite Kurtherian will find out. Not only did she try a sneak attack on Devon, which could have been fatal had BA not upped the enhancements on her core group, but she also had the gall to find the crystal library as well as take those boots!
After realizing the influx of different peoples into the Interdiction is undoubtedly due to Gödel’s insane actions, a quick trip to the Skaine colony reveals an unknown gate. After speaking with the overseer of the colony, a decision to enter the gate and rescue prisoners and destroy the gate is drawn up and executed.
Now we have another unknown person popping up on BA’s ship. Who is Amanda and how/when did Bethany Anne meet her???

The saga of Bethany Ann continues and is still entertaining enough for me to want to read the next one. I am so in that world with her and all the connected characters. In this there was at least one very stressful episode but I can’t say more or I will spoil it for others.
The author also continues to throw in what I might guess is some of his philosophy and I enjoy that as well.
The editing of this book was perfect.

Crazy adventure, as usual
The hardest thing of writing in Kurtherian Gambit series is coming up with crazy tech to dream up (I think). Really, the stuff involved here (not counting ascencion to energy being) really makes your head spin. Somtimes, I do wish the Pod-Doc exist now to cure my sons Spinal Muscular Atrophy ...

I'm addicted to Bethany Anne!
Too much to describe but the action is swift & multi-phased. BA is taking care of her family, her friends & Her Universe! It's not a good time to be a Kurtherian! New friends & old as well help in this seemingly never-ending fight. But I know the end is now in sight...

More action and suspense! A real page turner.
Bethany Anne continues to amaze and enthrall! I have to admit to just going with the flow on some of the characters no longer remembering their full back stories but still enjoying all of their interactions. Plenty of action plot turns. I know it will soon be coming to an end, but I will anxiously await what comes.

Another battle, another victory
Solid 5 star rating.
Who doesn't love BA, her family and friends and the world Mr. Anderle had created.
Another great story in this action packed space opera world. BA is definitely pushing her limits in this installment.
Looking forward to the next one.

Another fun Kutherian book....
Another great entry in Anderle's Kutherian series. Not a ton of curate) character development at this point, but the characters are great and if you're still reading the series you enjoy them. There was some interesting foreshadowing, so I'm curious what that means... But, all in all, another great book in the series.

Being Bethany Ann
When they are out to get you, are you really paranoid? The self styled goddess, Godel , puts together an attack on BA , she doesn’t waste any time or effort. Meanwhile BA has decided to upgrade her friends to better withstand and fight the Ooken fighters. A battle is about to begin, and a great read is at hand.

Coming to a head
The times are coming when the Kutherians finally are taken to heel. With many a new potential ally and an increasingly hostlile force arrayed against BA and co then the usual humour and battles come to the fore.
Expected usual quality of story and a good page turner.

Bethany Anne, Michael, Godel, Demon, Sam, Alyssa, Sam, B' lkherh
Fidel is a Kurtharian who is attacking Bethany Anne and her Federation. BA has upgraded the nanites of her Guardians. Tom is concerned he may have been hacked. Demon and Sam have had kittens.
Characterization and plotting are excellent.

When amazing is normal
I’ve read all the books leading up to this point and couldn’t put this one down until I saw ‘Finis’ (and still kept reading). I anticipate the next installment, and hope it’s soon. Thanks Michael for sharing all the worlds of your mind; I’m a fan of them all!

The Valkyrie
This KU library selection is a great continuation of the series. Bethany Anne and Michael have made preparations to train their twins for war and to protect their extended family, as well as others, from the ruthlessness of the Kurtherians' expansion. Unbelievably, the series just keeps getting better. Book Eight is up next.

More excellent reading
So glad to have a Bethany Anne tale to enhale. What's even better is that Ashur is back...I've missed him. Huge action in this one and even a direct attack from the seven. It's going to be a long wait for the next one.

Absolutely loved it
Bethany Anne at her finest doing what she does best. Love that more of her people are involved just miss Michael's people and TH. You have to add Reynolds and crew and Valerie to make this even more exciting.

The best ever!
This was my favorite book in this whole series! There were some gaps for me but I still loved the recurring characters and especially the new ones, it will be really hard waiting for the next book, guess I’ll have to manage somehow. Thanks!

The plot holes are closing.
Allies are gathering. Families are sending loved ones to safety. Sacrifices have been made. Opening battles have been fought. Bethany Anne is going to War.

Great Read, Great Series
Bethany Anne is ready to kick Kurtherian butt. Godel is ready to end Death (her name for BA). When Godel attacks, who will be left standing? I like the action, humor, and a bit of romance. I look forward to the next book.

Another good read
Read this one along with the prior ones for the second time and its better the second time around you get things missed from the first time and if read the other sub stories some of the underlying plots make sense

Ebook & audiobook review: Nice addition to the series. A new alliance and an exposed money grubber along with a major fight make for an awesome story! The narrator did a great job with providing unique voices for each character and appropriate tone inflections for each scene.

Enjoyed it
Bethany Anne is back in the Federation. More like scared them into promising their military into the fight against the "Seven." She also has a lot of personal issues to face. A lot happens in this book so well worth your time. Enjoy!
