The Hive Invasion: The Complete Trilogy

by Jake Elwood

The Last Warship The Alexander is the last true warship, a relic from the days of interstellar war. Captain Richard Hammett is a bit of a relic himself, an old war dog who doesn’t really belong in a peacetime navy. His final mission is downright he’s taking a ship full of cadets on a training run. When Gates start going offline, Hammett knows in his bones it means trouble - the kind of trouble only a real warship can handle. Defying orders, he takes the Alexander to the last Gate - and puts the ship in the path of an alien invasion. Now a captain at the end of his career will have to take dozens of terrified cadets and forge them into a crew of warriors, because they’re all that stands between the Earth and the swarming ships of the Hive. Back on Earth, the government panics and orders Hammett to pull back. Humanity’s far-flung colonies will have to fend for themselves. Hammett makes a different choice. Earth responds by sending a fleet – not to reinforce him, but to arrest him. All Hammett has to do now is save the colonies, keep the invaders from overrunning the Earth, and find a way to avoid a civil war .... This book contains all three volumes of the Hive Invasion Starship Alexander Starship Tomahawk Starship Theseus

[Wanda Jewell · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is the first series that I read by this author. I had hoped that it would be a good story and I was not disappointed. I read each book individually instead of as a boxed set so I won't show as a verified purchaser on the boxed set, but it will show that on the individual books I reviewed from the set. Captain Hammett is a GREAT character. He is believable, likable and has the fortitude and flexibility to deal with all the crazy things happening to his command. He does what he feels is right even though it makes him question himself. This series is easy to read as well as entertaining. There is a lot of action, aliens, good and bad aspects of humanity as well as conundrums to be solved. I loved the books and would highly recommend them.
