Synopsis From Book One...
THEY WENT TO SLEEP ON EARTH, BUT WHERE DID THEY WAKE UP?
Darius Drake is desperate to save his daughter, Cassandra. So desperate he's willing to risk their lives in cryo-sleep to give her a future. But the dark, freezing vault where he wakes up is nothing like the luxurious Florida hospital he remembers. Everything about this place is alien to him, even the language. Little does he know how alien it really is.
Darius and his daughter go exploring their new surroundings with a few others from the cryo pods, and they soon discover frozen, mutilated bodies everywhere. The dead are wearing strange uniforms, and they seem to have used some kind of energy weapons to defend themselves, but it wasn't enough. Adding to the mystery, all the doors of the facility have been ripped open, and there are claw marks around them--but what could shred through reinforced metal like paper?
The answer to that question proves more terrifying than any of them could have guessed. There's a war raging, and they've woken up in the middle of it.

I lost interest in the first few chapters of the third book. I found I simply couldn't muster enough "give a damn" to find out if Darius was still being an ass, or if Tanik was evil or not or if Cass moved past being a whinging little brat. Forgettable characters, a weak plot and implausible "magic sprites" caused my immune system to simply reject what was left. It moved from passable to cringeworthy.

I believe that this is one of the best series that I've read in a very long time. I won't give away anything but if you've gotten "Broken Worlds" then you are in for a treat.

Star Wars retelling
It's a good thing that I have read other books from this author because after reading this series I may not have read any other of this authors series. The parallels to the Star Wars saga are so in your face that it is painfully obvious that it was the source material. There were also references to Dune, the Matrix, and Battletech. The main character's addiction reminded me of my ex. By the middle of the second book I didn't care if the author ended up killing all of the characters. I actually started to root for the character that was the bad guy. At least I understood why he wanted revenge. I really found it difficult to like any of the characters. The women and the children were written to be whiny and complained constantly. I still have another series from this author. I hope that he redeems himself, otherwise I may not continue to buy his work. The writing is okay, but the characters were unlikable. Your mileage may very.

Good but not great
Although the story was fascinating to start, it soon became too convoluted. It was difficult to keep track of who the good guys and the bad guys were, and I was disappointed in the ending.
That said, the first book was the best.

After finishing Asimov's complete science fiction universe I fell back to sci-fi TV show for years. These shows filled the void inside me, but I wanted something new. An Amazon newsletter came in handy, including this series. I browsed through the reviews and decided to give it a try.
The first book starts very slowly (some may call it boring) until the last few chapters. It introduces the main characters and their motives, this introduction is very important to really enjoy the other two books.
The second book's pace is much faster, but sometimes it slows down to getting up to speed again. It also has an interesting twist at the end.
The third book is full of action and I sometimes didn't know who the good and bad guy is? Out of question, the series has an interesting ending, but I think we must respect how the author has closed the plot.
The author excels in character development, created a very good plot, the series was a great reading experience and I think my favorite authors list is just expanded.

Very good
I found that the first 2 books were very good but then the last book was missing the things that the first 2 books had. The third book changed Darius from a person that worried about his daughter and about other people to a man who was going to kill his daughter. To me, I personally think that it wasn't a good idea to turn Darius into a power wanting person because the first 2 books displayed that Darius was caring and a change in the way the main character acts kind of got me uninterested in the book. Also, the third book was missing the romance that the first 2 books had. But overall, the books were very good and I read them all. I would 100% rate the first 2 books a 5 star but the 3rd book didn't really get me hooked as the first 2 and that's why I rated the books a 4 star.

Complex not quite a feel good story
this is a very intricate and difficult book to finish. At x a page-turner and a Time more philosophical and deep than I had anticipated. I recommend the series so that you can see the different facets of the characters and the depth to which they are created. I can't see it as a summer read. I'm not sure if it's a good choice during a pandemic.

Good characters, sympathetic protagonists, fast-pace, good science facts,..You will.love this!
I like the story as a whole. Some instances felt a little convoluted, but so does Star Wars. The characters keep you engaged, and the story moves along at a steady, strong clip. I spent a lot of time understanding the science behind.some.if the fiction, and it was really good. Pick this up and read the first two chapters. You will not be able to stop.

Starts well and slowly goes off the rail
I like the author and enjoy most of the books published.
This book seems to start as good sci-fi then ever so slowly digresses into poor plot and a story line being dragged out to a poor yet inevitable conclusion based on the plot.
Disappointing

Enjoyable reading, decent character development, some good, some inherently flawed.
Enjoyed the series. Nice be able to read them one right after the other. Will look for others by Scott.

awful, like a bad kids story

Well edited and a crisp interesting read. Unfortunately it did tend to drag a little in the middle of the third book and I almost stopped reading but glad I hung in for the grand finale.

Go into stasis, wake up in Star Wars. Not one of this author's better works. Good pulp sci-fi read if you just want to escape for a while.

Kept me interested
Absolute power corrupts absolutely. This theme flows throughout the story. Interesting take on what would happen if suddenly whisked to the future.

I thought this would be like Ender's Game...I was wrong.
When I started reading this book, I was hooked. The beginning was a five star read. It was line-edited very well. There were no grammatical errors, and the plot was very intriguing. I had to know more.
The story starts out with a man who wakes up from cryo. There's a prologue that doesn't waste time with too much exposition. It shows us the main character's struggles and backstory without going overboard on useless details like what kind of jobs he had dozens of years ago, or what school his daughter went to.
After the prologue, the man wakes up from cryo sleep. There are perhaps hundreds of thousands of cryo tubes stacked hundreds or thousands high. I don't want to spoil it for you, but if you like reading about well developed aliens, I feel like this author has done a good job creating a rich alien culture that is not a ripoff of Aliens vs. Predator aliens. The aliens are sort of like if Aliens and Predators were combined into one, which is very interesting to read about. The author said he is a fan of Star Wars and other science fiction, and it shows in his writing.
While the author wrote aliens very well, I feel like he failed in regards to consistency, character development, and plot elements.
Don't get me wrong. I didn't hate the main character. He was a man trying to protect his daughter and worried about her safety. Good enough for me. I was having a good time reading the story until it got to the middle. In the middle, the plot took a sharp turn.
An action packed and mysterious beginning turned into a rescue mission. A rescue mission, you say? That sounds like something you'd find in science fiction, right? Not if you leave a world, then within the next two chapters, have to go back to the world. Not if the main character accidentally kills a character with a rock, a character who went berserk when he thought his children died, a character who had no reason to go berserk to try to kill the third person in their group even though this character had more than ten years of experience as a captain in a space ship, and had many years of experience living on a brutal alien world where they kill humans and other aliens for sport.
The plot slowing down was the first thing that did it for me. The second thing that ruined the story for me was to write such a strange plot element, an accidental killing. The space suit should have withstood rocks. There are rocks in space, so your space suit should have at least a little bit of armor. Even if it doesn't, at least knock the guy out. While I agree characters should change and grow, in positive or negative ways, this could have been written better. The character that died had more potential to grow. He did not take actions that were consistent with his background.
The last story element I didn't like was the "supernatural" element. One character could reach across vast distances in space - maybe lights years - and control people's minds, maybe through their implants. This kind of spoiled it for me because this science fiction series ended up being a little too convenient and magical.
The author also invented a new version of the "f" word, which is not the same as the fake swear word invented in Battlestar Galactica, but that is very very similar. It's also similar to another word he created in the Dark Space series. He could have written with a little more variety in that regard.
I'm not a fan of mystery, but I do like military science fiction. I would say this reads more like military science fiction. If you like that, then this is for you, if you don't mind a strange mystery that isn't even really mysterious and a book where the plot and characters are not very consistent halfway through the book.
Note: this is only a review of the first book, because I could not get further than that.

Great, good, meh
3 books, 3 opinions. The first book was amazing... pacing, characters you like, interesting concept. 2nd book gets a downgrade to good. You found yourself just not caring... the lead went from likable protective father in book one to annoying, self centered and incapable of making a good decision. Now for the 3rd book...
I cant give a fair review. A third of the way in i wanted this same father to meet an untimely demise and put us all out of our misery. Good lord, the first third of book three is a stinker. I didn’t finish the book. Life is just too short.

This was a really AWESOME read. Lots of aliens, and tons of excitment throughout the entire series. I did have a little bit of trouble following along at times due to the fact that some of what you read was either a vision or a dream. I re-read some of them to make sure I was following correctly. I would certainly recommend this series to anyone who enjoys Sci-Fi books. Loved it so much.
September 28, 2019
Really enjoyed this series, such an intriguing story and really great characters. For me, books 1 & 2 were stronger than 3, mainly because the ending felt anticlimactic. I'm still rating the series at 5 stars, as I thoroughly enjoyed reading it overall.
November 23, 2019
This is the complete series. I loved the books. I did not see any typos. The characters were great and relatable. The story line was intriguing and I enjoyed myself through all three books. I would recommend them.
