An amazing adventure continues as the crew of SRES Argo searches for the Drone Masters
Lt. Commander Tag Brewer serves as Chief Medical Officer aboard the Solar Republic of Earth Ship Argo. SRES Argo is a scientific exploration vessel, its first mission to retrieve to retrieve a scientist from the frozen world Eta Five. When the Argo reached Eta Five they were attacked by an unknown alien vessel. The Argo was quickly overwhelmed and soon Tag was the only crew member left alive.
Pulse pounding action kept me glued to the pages of my Kindle as Tag and his motley crew blasted their way across the galaxy seeking answers and trying to make their way to the SRES Montenegro, the capital ship stationed 10 light years away. They'll have to fight their way there.
The super fast action sequences drive a complex storyline populated with endearing characters. Discovery of two new alien races adds allies and foes. The medical knowledge of the author enabled Tag's skills to be easily understood.
The Edge of War
Tag Brewer, former chief medical officer and now captain of the SRES Argo, had assumed command of the research vessel following the loss of his commanding officer to a Drone Mech attack. His orders, also given by the loss of his commanding officer was to pick up an extraterrestrial anthropologist on one of Eta’s planets, Eta-Five, who’d been left there five years ago by the SRES Hanno. The anthropologist, Lieutenant Sofia Vasquez, had been studying the planet’s native biological lifeforms and whatever sentient species might be found there. In typical anthropologist form, she’d insisted on doing the mission solo to better immerse herself in the local population. Included in that population was a Free Mechanic crew hiding from the robot-like Drone Mechs whose minds had been usurped by a strange signal, turning them into slaves for their unknown Drone Masters.
As the crew of the SRES Argo comes together, their mission now to find these strange Drone Masters and stop the mind control over the Drone Mechs. The amazing characters and awesome storyline are enhanced by the medical knowledge woven into the story. The author's medical skills and research are apparent in the story, but don't overwhelm the reader with esoterics. Really a complete and absolutely entertaining story, that demands your attention from the first page to the last. This is a great read, and now on to the third book in this trilogy.
The Shattered Dawn
Captain Tag Brewer and the crew of the SRES Argo defend against a nanite assault
Captain Tag Brewer, once Chief Medical Officer aboard SRES Argo, now forced to the Captain's chair by loss. Thrust into his new position, he has gained the trust and respect of his little remaining crew. He is now Captain Brewer, in deed and in title. His small crew, anthropologist Sophia, silver-bodied, synth-bio droid: Alpha, uninfested Mechanic Coren and the small party of Marines: squad comomander Bull, Lone Star, Sumo, and Gorenado. This motley crew is searching for the Drone Masters responsible for turning most of the Mechanic race into drones with the use of nanites. The hope is to find the Drone Master and force him (or them) top return the Mechanics to full self control even on their home planet of Meck'ara.
Armed with information gained from the logs of SRES Hope, the generation ship lost hundreds of years before, they search Space for clues and directions. What they're going to do when they find them is . . . well, sorta not sure. But they're going to do SOMETHING!!!
The crew has bonded, finding respect for each other as they race against rapidly diminishing time to find the hidden enemy who is destroying Meck'ara and enslaving alien species for nefarious purposes. Amazing action and insight into alien species brings the action close and personal. I've bonded with these characters, broken bread and spilled blood with them. I've felt their pain and frustration as they just try to do their job! I've wept with them as they mourn lost brothers. I've gotten angry enough to tear chunks from my Kindle (I have another) and pull out what little hair I have remaining. Character driven? Yeah, I RECKON!
The amazing story and the remarkable storyteller have brought another 5star book to a conclusion, but fear not! Another book in the series awaits! One or two books from now, I'll be able to get back to Tag and Alpha again! But, you can enjoy this one now! Amazing!
