Forgotten Starship #3
Entropy
The generation starship Pioneer continues her centuries-long journey across the vastness of space. Joseph has returned to hibernation. The passengers are safe.
For now.
When the ship suffers an unexpected malfunction, Preslan is brought in to help identify the source. Joining Tyson on the bridge, it isn’t long before they determine there’s more to the anomaly than meets the eye.
Much, much more.
Not only is the ship off-course and headed into the middle of an ancient intergalactic war, but their best defense against the looming danger is the same thing that’s forcing them into it.
The stakes are higher, the odds are greater and time is running out. If they can’t escape the impending chaos, it won’t only be the passengers and crew of Pioneer that are lost...
...it’ll be the entire human race.
Join Joseph, Tyson, Keesha, Preslan, Niko, and the other passengers and crew of Pioneer -- plus a few old friends from the wider Forgotten Universe -- in the third explosive installment of Forgotten Starship.

9/10: Fantastic, left me wanting more.
“It’s like there’s an endless parade of unspeakable cosmic horrors out there, and they all want a piece of Pioneer.”
Oh, what fun this turned out to be! Lots of storylines merged together to make this a memorable addition to the Forgotten Universe
A really interesting way to entwine the different threads and a much enjoyable read. This is turning out to be one of my favourites of that universe.
“Sarge, I can’t see if the new group is standard assholes or upgraded assholes or what,” Morales said.
And with some much-loved character appearances from the other books, I was completely absorbed in the story.
Oh, and I love Joe...
“My only goal, my only mission, my only purpose is to defend the civilians on Pioneer with my life.

(B+)78% | Good
3.5/5 Stars
It's hard for me to quantify the issue I have with this installment of Forgotten Starship. While I enjoyed it, it felt very... monotonous.
I found myself very bored through the first third of the book. I can't explain why, there were interesting events happening but they just seemed to not sit right with me.
However the book does get better in the last half. Offering very interesting combat and events. With even an event that left me surprised.
However this does not make up for the issues in the beginning. Hence my relatively low rating. The book finishes on a very interesting cliffhanger, so my interest in the series remains high. I still recommend this series to anyone interested in the sci-fi/Space Opera genre.

I was engaged until 1/2 way through. After awhile it all becomes too much. There are certain storylines, actions and events I have a hard time rolling with even in this large inventive world-building. I can suspend disbelief only so far and have a real problem with Captain Grant. With a couple chapters left, I started skimming.

Disappointed
First off, I am a fan of most of Forbes's books, but I just couldn't bring myself to finish reading this one. That's saying a lot since this is only the third book of any genre that I've done that to.
The storyline was stretched so far passed believable it ruined the whole thing. To me, it felt like Forbes tried to capitalize on the success of the previous books and the loyalty of his readers.
That said, I'm still a fan and this one book will not deter me from reading any of his other books, Just not any more in this series.

Thrill Ride
Another great installment in the forgotten universe. And lots of loose ends are slowly being tied up. Wash is back and there may be some hope for humanity as Cross goes up against the forge! Loved it.

The players are beginning to shift. The cast is vastly out numbered. The threat remains
Just when things are going right, everything shifts literally adding more facets to the picture and danger everywhere! Where's Joseph?
