Imperium Spacemage #3

Lieutenant Spacemage

Rate this book
Even for a powerful Spacemage, war can turn personal in an instant.

Bud is now the captain of a small capital ship, and so tactics must change. And once again, Navy Mage Squadron One leads the way.

But the more the Imperium ups their game, the faster the Trixone adapt.

And in the middle of things changing around Bud, the new prototype dreadnought is stolen.

While seemingly unimportant to the war, Navy Mage One and Eagle Wing will find out just how wrong that perception is.

Just when is a mysterious invitation a good thing or a bad thing, and will they be able to tell the difference in time?

For Bud, squadron command gets real, and the stakes are building as Rogue gets nearer to its destination.

From a war being fought in the center of the core of the galaxy, suddenly the arena becomes much bigger.

And to cross vast distances quickly, the Imperium needs:

Lieutenant Spacemage.

This book occurs at the same time as Rogue Unit, book 8 of The Hunter Imperium series.

(New info added at the bottom, in response to feedback and reviews.)

Timothy Ellis lives on the Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia; where he constantly battles with his cat for possession of his desk chair, Daleks do guard duty, and he keeps his sonic screwdriver next to his lightsaber and wand. Now there is a female Doctor Who, he eagerly awaits the sound of the Tardis materializing in his house.

He has spent his life reading and watching science fiction and fantasy, and has been playing Space Genre computer games since he used to be smuggled in to play the original text Star Trek game on a university mainframe, long before the PC or Apple appeared. Since 2004, he's written game guides for the Egosoft X Universe series, culminating in two versions of the X3 Handbook. He has also designed major mods for the various games, and dozens of mini mods.

He has been a farm worker, Antique Dealer, Computer Programmer, Systems Analyst, Operations Manager of a small retail chain, and Retail Store Owner. He is now a full time author, who still does Spiritual Healer and helper work.

After leaving behind the corporate and business worlds, he was opened to his Spiritual gifts. Now a Feng Shui Master, Feng Shui led him to Buddhism, Karma, the Tao, and back to western spiritualism. Since 2006 he has been writing spiritual articles and helping people via spiritual forums and Facebook Groups. His spiritual books include "Personal Healing Using Basic Meditation", "Life Harmony, Feng Shui in Plain English", '101 Tips for the John of God Brazil Experience', and "The Wisdom of the Ages is available for the price of asking a question" series of 8 books. His own spiritual healing led him to writing novels.

His first novel, 'Hero at Large', spawning the long running 'The Hunter Imperium' universe, brings together his love of the space genre, magic, spirituality, and cats. Now 10 series long, the universe covers 3 galaxies, 4100 years, and as at Dragon Imperative, 62 Novels, 7 shorts, and 2 companion books. There are 7 main entrance points across 10 series: Hero at Large, Admiral of Gaia, Yesterday's Spacemage, Crossover, Midshipman Spacemage, Old Magic, and Dragon Rider. Alternate entrance points if you don't need backstory first, are Adrift and Mage King, although Dragon Rider has 3 books before it about the dragons.

If you wish to be kept up to date with new releases and information in The Hunter Legacy Universe series, subscribe here: http://eepurl.com/bqMgVz, and follow on Amazon, Goodreads, or BookBub.

The fastest way to find out about a new release is my Facebook group/page, which get advance warning about 2-4 days before release, and again when the book is uploaded to Kindle; and my email list which goes out as soon as I have an Amazon page for the new book. Bookbub will let you know about 3-4 days after I remember to tell them.

I normally will release in advance of the specified release date whenever possible, so if you are a Kindle Unlimited reader, you will want another method to be notified of the actual release date, so you can read on day 1.

Space opera at its best.

Another instalment by this author. I really love his work. The leading character Bud is faced with a developing role which he has not expected. Each book written shows how he faces each challenge. I recommend this book series as although it appears to be similar for each main character. It is evolving. If you find the write up for this book appealing I recommend reading the books in order you will not be disappointed. Fast paced, engaging and thought provoking. I will read over and over again.As I have its predecessor 's .

Entertaining Read

Bud is now in command of a Super Corvette. His magic continues to grow. He develops tactics that allow him to be effective against much larger capital ships. I like the action, humor, and romance. What lengths will he go to save his girlfriend 's life? I look forward to the next book.

That's enough for me. We get a very promising antagonist in the form of an intelligent version of the Cordyceps Fungus, and it is thrown away with a single magic spell. These stories are becoming repetitive... oh no, there's a big problem; "I've an idea," says Bud; Hooray! Bud's idea worked, let's promote him.

Nice

A good episode, enough action, plot twists and story progression. The only thing bothering me was the out of character, infantile reaction of David Tolin. That part made no sense and was also completely pointless.

Loved it

Alot more relationship focused intead of an inventory list of ship types. Cant wait for the next book. Finally, get the twins with Jon already. They are spiritually connected and in love. They told Aline it wssnt fair several books ago.

As crazy as usual

The mix between spirituality and scifi is heavy in this one. Ellis' books is the right place to find an epic space battle mixed up with discussion about exit points of an individual life time.

Great read

Great series, with some exceptions. I am getting annoyed reading about the underwater and need to get into the hot tub. The Author seems to be having an immature crisis. The repeated way attacks are done gets boring.

Defiantly not easy to put down.

This series is so well written you don't want to put it down. The concept of using one book to cover one rank is great. This approach allows you to know the characters better and defiantly add more depth to the series as a whole.

Decent

It's OK, although I think I'm a little disappointed. The story lacks something and I'm not smart enough to know what it is. It's OK words in a row, but something just isn't there.

This book is excellent as always. Great story line and a couple of “I didn’t see that coming”. The characters are well written and interesting. ENJOY

Should be asleep right now...

But I had to finish the book. Now the eternal wait for the next. Thankfully, it seems it is not too far off.
