Superdreadnought 1:
Integrated with a superdreadnought, the artificial intelligence known as Reynolds takes his ship across the universe in search of the elusive Kurtherians. He comes to a revelation. He’s better in the company of living creatures.
He needs a crew. He needs information. And he needs to continue his search and destroy mission.
Needing a crew and getting a crew are two completely different things. Reynolds is out of his element as he tries to reach out and make friends. Through it all, he has his vessel, the superdreadnought, the most powerful warship in the galaxy.
Or so he believes.
Superdreadnought 2:
The superdreadnought takes the fight to Grindlevik 3. Battles in space, battles of wits, battles of ideologies – Reynolds in cyberspace, the crew on the ground. Everyone is engaged.
The crew of the superdreadnought deploys on foot to win the hearts and minds of the native populations. The Grindlovians and the Telluride. Two races. One destiny.
And an interloper who is making everyone take notice.
Integrated with a superdreadnought, the artificial intelligence known as Reynolds has recruited a humanoid crew to help search the universe for the elusive Kurtherians. His mission continues, and no one stands in his way.
Superdreadnought 3:
The superdreadnought gates into the middle of a battle. Whose side do they take?Krokus 4. The system’s nexus of intelligent life. Who are the Krokans? Who are the Orau? Are there any good guys to protect?
It’s a dog’s breakfast from the word go. Reynolds is positioned to keep the sides from killing each other while he and the crew try to figure out what is going on. With a healthy dose of skepticism, they dig deep trying to find the truth. Underwater. In the vacuum of space. On another planet. Clues and answers can be found by only the most diligent.
All while fighting for their lives.
It’s business as usual for the superdreadnought and his crew.
Superdreadnought 4:
The superdreadnought is hunting the cultists.The chase takes the ship and crew to Muultar, a planet tortured by three raging stars. Why would anyone live in such a place?
But they do, and the Phraim-‘Eh cult has found fertile recruiting ground. Their plan is nothing short of taking over the whole planet.
How are they doing it? And who are those other aliens in the system, the ones who take issue with Reynolds? They seem more powerful than the superdreadnought.
Are they the long-lost Kurtherians, and Muultar is ground zero?
Once again, Superdreadnought Reynolds is caught between a rock and a hard place.
Don't miss out on the action of Superdreadnought 5 and Superdreadnought 6! Both included in this fantastic boxed set!

AI with split personalities... what the!!
OMG, this series was a blast to read. Loved the split personalities of Reynolds and how they interacted with each other and the crew. The growth of Reynolds throughout the series is amazing to read, especially his transitions to different bodies and how the upgrades allowed for him to grow in sentience. I especially loved his split personalities of Tactical and Comm, they made me laugh so much. The adventures and species they encountered along the way to finding the Kurtherians made for some great reading and entertainment. The meatbags comments along the way from Reynolds was hilarious. Craig Martelle did a brilliant job writing this series and I would definitely recommend reading it.

LOVED THESE BOOKS!!!!!!!
I rate every book I read, bit don't always leave reviews...nut I had to this time. I have read pretty much everything in the Kurtherian Universe and have greatly enjoyed all of Craig Mart else's books. Great characters in interesting stories!!!!! Superdreadnought was different, but very much an enjoyable read!!! I loved all the Star Trek references as well as the other "Earth" humor. The character growth was phenomenal. Reynolds is different because there are so many versions of him,but that's what can happen when isolated for so long. Each aspect of his programming becomes more of an individual throughout the series. I'm not sure why some folks didn't like these books, because they really are very well thought out, well written and funny as all get out!!! I've read Craig's other books, and they are all great stories with interesting characters!!! Keep on writing them and I will keep reading!!!

The book has an idiot plot, as in no ot would happen if all the characters weren't complete idiots. Characters could as well have no names and be called Hacker, Muscle, Scientists etc. because that's what they are, one dimensional cardboard cutouts ripped from Writing 101. The premise is interesting but the execution is just awful the suspension of disbelief is dead because everyone acts so stupid. Not to mention the "science" part of this book, communications being disrupted by neons and bright lights, communication nodes that need to be powerful to spread rumors. Its really bad.

An Artificial Intelligence with a nonhuman crew.
This is a complete spin off that only touches base with the KGU main characters in books one and six. Reynolds is an AI created to help Bethany Anne destroy Kurtherian enemies. Most of the crew he recruits enthusiastically embraces Earth culture. Some conversations seem to be entirely in movie quotes. They make scientific discoveries while exploring an uncharted universe.

Superlative
This is one of the best side stories in the Kurtherian universe. Action, intrigue, difficult situations, and some of the best relationship building I've read. The cultural references left me laughing, and I came to care about these very real people. Having all six books in such an easy to read format makes it effortless.
You will definitely enjoy this, so grab it and I'll look forward to your reviews.
Make it so, meatbags.

Wonderful
I loved everything about this series, the characters, the aliens, the jokes & the nod to sci-fi stories & programmes that I know & love.
The super dreadnought Reynolds was a wonderful creation, he has morals & questions about his way forward in his life & mission. Along the way he picks up a crew who had a long learning curve but they made it. This series is just wonderful

wonderful Space Operatic Adventure
From the first book to the last I was hooked and held enthralled. I’d suspect Reynolds had kidnapped me like his First Officer except
I imagine his influence doesn’t reach quite this far. I highly recommend this series to anyone who likes their science fiction adventures spiced with enthralling characters and salty humour.
5/5 Will read again. Happy Adventuring.

A serious enjoyable read
Love the characters, especially the banter between AIs & “meatbags”. Never realized what an “opera” was until you’d described it early on. Outstanding! No serious misspellings or grammatical errors. Great job Craig. I really enjoyed your entire series and wish there were more coming. Keep at it.

What a rush
With six books covering a massive arc, craig and michael take the reader on an epic ride. From split personality AIs to strange aliens to fungus lace and even some touches of Star Trek. I highly recommend reading this boxed set to anyone who loves Space Opera stories. If you have read the Hunter Universe books you will love this one!

I thought this book had promise and it was inexpensive. So I am giving it a go. This is actually a collection of several books. In all fairness and to track my progress I will provide a short comment upon completing each book.
Book #1 Very off the wall. Full of mainstream sci-fi references. Not what I expected, but very entertaining. Do not take #1 very seriously. Good setup. A introduction to this new universe. About a 3.5 for me.
Book #2 Toned down the AI presence. Not as mad capped as the start. Added a pursuit. An interesting exploration of cultures. More of a 2.
Book #3 Military action sequences ramp up. More twists as we are not sure whom to trust. I would give this part a 3.5.
Book #4 Keeping a good pace. The super dreadnought takes a bit licking. Another 3.5.
Book #5 A concluding book, but then fandom caused the creation of #6. Lots of action. A bit too ideal good things happen to conclude what happened to earlier planets. Another 3.5.
Book #6 I really liked this fandom driven story. This is feels more like the proper revisit to old characters you have grown to love from the past. This one rates a 4.5.
Series overall. Low on hard science. High on irrelevance. Entertaining. I would have liked more tales along the vein of the last book #6. Overall I would give in a 4.
Have a GoodReads.

Entertaining Series
An entertaining and comedic space warfare story about a snarky superdreadnaught/AI on a human mission to route out and destroy evil Kutherians that attacked earth. It is a good vs evil story with good character development of both the AI and the wise cracking crew of the ship. Multiple episodes of corrupt societies while on their quest.

Repetitive
Sorry but only got most of the way through the third book. The story line just got too repetitive for me, like the same situation over and over again with no one getting any more intelligent about how things were handled. There are funny areas and good areas just couldn't finish.

loved it..
Absolutely loved the superdreadnought series. An A.I. with multiple personalities cracking humorous one liners and picking up “meatbags “ along the way.
An absolute page turner that delivers plenty of “I didn’t see that coming“ moments.
I hope it isn’t too long before I get to meet the characters again.

Best binge read!
I'm so glad O waited for the box set so I could appreciate the entire series. I love Reynolds and the rollicking ride from lone AI to Captain and crew was well worth the wait.
I love this universe and this is a superb addition. Well done!

What a great series
Really fun and entertaining series. I loved that the story really showed the depth of the characters, taking us on an adventure with such an interesting group without it feeling monotonous over the 6 book series.

Enjoyed this series
There are no reasons not to read this book series. The growth of the crew into a family and how they grow as individuals as well is only made better by the quick witted banter.

I didn't care for this. The premise is good, but I really hated the character of the AI. The writing also seemed to meander, and introduce things without any clue why they are important. I abandoned after six chapters.

Great space adventure
I enjoyed all six books. I was hocked after the first book, just loved it. I highly recommend these stories to any science fiction fan.
