Rick Partlow is that rarest of species, a native Floridian.

His lifelong love of science fiction began with Have Space Suit---Will Travel and the other Heinlein juveniles and traveled through Clifford Simak, Asimov, Clarke and on to William Gibson, Walter Jon Williams and Peter F Hamilton. And somewhere, submerged in the worlds of others, Rick began to create his own worlds. He has written over 70 books in over a dozen different series, and his short stories have been included in many different anthologies.
He currently lives in norther Wyoming with his wife and their dog. Besides writing and reading science fiction and fantasy, he enjoys outdoor photography, hiking and camping.
OK, so, while I'm uncomfortable with the quantum physics as depicted , the storyline is enjoyable and page-turning. Mr. Partlow is a storyteller extraordinaire! The ability to maintain strong characters and a rolling baseline through a series of books is not a successful, common trait among many writers, especially sci_fi. He has the talent and the imagination to get it done. Well done, keep writing g, I'll buy them if you keep writing them. Thanks.
This series has it all excellent story, wonderful alien - human (world, sector , galaxy - maybe) building. Military mixing with civilians, aliens fighting humans then peace then fighting again then truly coexisting together. If you are asking for primo space opera this is it D.
4th book in the series. Mixed civil war and gangsters - kind of a rehash of books 1 & 2. Aliens become more understood. 4 novels in the series, First is a military rocket fighter war story, the second is after the war as gangsters take over control of much of the frontier, third is a monster horror-type tale.

A dam good read I really enjoyed. I really recommend you give this a read especially if you start from from the first book. I couldn't put it down once I got started.
