Silver Ships #19
Q-Gates
Outpost One: Resistance, the peacekeeping station in alliance space, is mired in political turmoil and dangerous conditions from the Colony, a race of giant devouring insectoids. Commander Jess Cinders and Admiral Lucia Bellardo fight the troubles besieging the outpost from multiple directions.
Sand serpents, Usaanans, are suspected of undercutting outpost contracts, necessitating Major Sam Fleetfoot investigate the source of their production. His time on the Lemgart’s home world, with Lieutenant Candace Weller, progresses through a series of alien contacts. When the Usaanans are exposed, the sand serpents attempt to eliminate the human pair.
Meanwhile, Chief Engineer Mickey Brandon and his teams, led by the SADEs, investigate the Messinants domes. Their aim is to duplicate the ancient race’s technique of transporting individuals and goods through quantum-linked platforms, called Q-gates. The teams produce requests for console inputs that stymie them and lead to cataclysmic events.
Omnian Co-leader Alex Racine’s mysterious dreams turn into nightmares, and he fears for events in alliance space. The dreams herald multiple calamities, such as the loss of the Transit Tripper. The freighter, carrying an alien drone from the Worlds of Light, was sent to Mickey to examine.
To make matters worse, the Colony has escalated its tactics against the Resistance. The alliance defenders, having had a modicum of success, recently suffered setbacks. Jess must add to Mickey’s tasks, requesting the chief engineer find a way to defeat the Colony’s new energy weapons before more lives and ships are lost.

About the author
S.H. Jucha
45 books469 followersFrom my early years to the present, books have been a refuge. They’ve fueled my imagination. I’ve traveled to faraway places and met aliens with Asimov, Heinlein, Clarke, Herbert, and Le Guin. I’ve explored historical events with Michener and Clavell, and I played spy with Ludlum and Fleming.
There’s no doubt that the early sci-fi masters influenced the writing of my first two series, The Silver Ships and Pyreans. I crafted my stories to give readers intimate views of my characters, who wrestle with the challenges of living in space and inhabiting alien worlds.
Life is rarely easy for these characters, who encounter aliens and calamities, but they persist and flourish. I revel in examining humankind’s will to survive. Not everyone plays fair or exhibits concern for other beings, but that’s another aspect of humans and aliens that I investigate.
My stories offer hope for humans today about what they might accomplish tomorrow far from our home world. Throughout my books, humans exhibit a will to persevere, without detriment to the vast majority of others.
Readers have been generous with their comments, which they’ve left on Amazon and Goodreads for others to review. I truly enjoy what I do, and I’m pleased to read how my stories have positively affected many readers’ lives.
If you’ve read my books, please consider posting a review on Amazon and Goodreads for every book, even a short one. Reviews attract other readers and are a great help to indie authors, such as me.
The Silver Ships novels have reached Amazon’s coveted #1 and #2 Best-Selling Sci-Fi book, multiple times, in the science fiction categories of first contact, space opera, and alien invasion.

I have been a big fan of the Silver Ship Series. This book takes us back to the peace keeping station in Alliance space. The team is busy trying to solve the mystery of the Gates, fight a battle with an insect race and deal with the politics of the Alliance Nations.
I particularly enjoyed the section about the Gates and the team of human and SADA’s discovering the engineering mastery of the ancient race that built them. S. H. Jucha developed some of the key characters in the story moving them into more prominent positions and elevated Alex Racine to that of an advisor. I am curious to see if this continues in the next book.
I read this as an audiobook downloaded from Audible. The book is twelve hours and thirty-five minutes. Nicole Poole does a good job narrating the series.

I wasn’t really sure about the first half of this book, there was a hit and miss investigating into how to connect new gates to the Messiant system.
An undercover operation which seemed to have little purpose except for an expensive fashion show and cargo ship that develops engine problems. The individual stories were OK, but didn’t grab me.
The second half had more direction and was much more interesting. Overall, if possible I would have given 3.5 stars.

Great long form story telling
Whilst the Silver Ships and Pyreans series may not reach the grand levels of series like Dune or Foundation, they are a solid and stable set of works which explore an elaborate future. Whilst there is lots to like in the starships, technology and first encounter with alien storyline’s, they are well grounded as stories about people. And what a person is capable of. Very enjoyable.
The work ethic of the author has to be respected, with new novels being published every few months, it gives you a constant serving of consistent stories.

This book has some really good aspects, but too many bad.
Firstly, this book goes into the details of how the Q gates are powered and their basic workings. It's a little dry at times, but overall kind of interesting. The plot revolves around whether or not new Q Gate connections can be established between existing domes. Then the political ramifications of such things.
Unfortunately, the book kind of unravels at this point.
***spoilers ***
The biggest issue with this book is the lack of an enemy. Usually, there is some kind of opposition to Alex's plans and then the bad guys will be schooled in good manners and getting along. Our heros tactics are seen in an favorable light, as they maneuver around a clear antagonist and the day is saved.
However, in this book, there is no antagonist. And suddenly Alex's team comes off looking like huge bullies, and the book justifys their actions.
For example, Jessie (sorry if it's spelt wrong, audio book), rolls into Pyre's system, demands a meeting for the rolling morning with the president, and refuses to tell her what it's about. When they arrive at the meeting, Jessie evades revealing the purpose of the meeting and when the president gets aggravated by this, he blurts out how rude she is, and he's going to take his discovery and leave. And instead of Jessie realizing that when dealing with an ally, rather than jerk them around he should show courtesy, it is discovered that the president has a brain tumor and that why she was unreasonable.
This pops up throughout the book, Alex's people act like petulant children, and the book tells us they are the mature and reasonable ones.
The book is also filled with long tangents that don't really go anywhere. Like maybe setting up future story lines, but they take up significant parts of this book with no payoff. Like a trade dispute secret investigation, leading to a few people having to join the colony fight. Or Ood getting his body fixed and joining the colony fight. The former taking up about 1/3 of the book, and the later taking up an hour or more. I just kept thinking "why does the book have time for this?"
They never really pay off. By the end of the book Ood is off to join the "army" and the people uncovered in the investigation are forced to join the "army". Neither tangent really affects the overall story and neither has any consequences in the book. Leaving it with a "what's the point" feeling.
There was also a real opportunity to shake up the Alliance races and the Tarrget (spelling, sorry), but instead a clause is put in to keep things as status quo. Which also felt like "what's the point"
And to make matters worse, a felt amount of time is spent getting and dealing with getting the gifted drone, from the last book, to Pyre. The ship breaks down along the way, it takes forever to fix, then has to be fixed again when it gets to Pyre, and then NOTHING IS DONE WITH IT! To make matters even worse, the acting president gets upset that nobody told her that this dangerous killing machine that no one knows how to use or handle, is in her space. She gets rightly upset and then is told to sit down and shut up, cause they were going to tell her, but they forgot and why is she getting so upset, Alex and his friends are super awesome and don't question them. And the acting president apologized for being upset! Like in what universe was she in the wrong?
I've decided to not mention the quality of the voice narration, it's the same as my previous reviews of hers.
All in all, this book fails to live up to Silver Ships standards. The lack of an antagonist makes the heros look like bullies, as they throw their weight around. The story is full of tangents that go no where, in this book. And generally the story isn't as engaging as the other books of the series.
I'm hoping the next book gets thing back on track.

This book should have been confusing, but , surprisingly, it wasn't! We're going back to Alliance space where Alex Racine and his Omnian's had previously established a huge outpost now commanded by Commander Jess Cinders. It was there to immediately serve two purposes. One was to continue to clean the Colony, a race of deadly insectoids, out of numerous domed habitats on numerous planets in Alliance space. These insectoids were not communicate in any way with Alex or his people therefore they had no recourse other than to systematically wipe them out. Commander Cinders had been highly successful in doing that and now he was in-charge of all the war efforts against the Colony. The Outpost's second purpose was to interface with the Tsargit, the governing body for the Alliance races.
That second purpose was very difficult since the members of the Alliance came in many size and shapes with varying degrees of temperament. Some were from very old and established races while others were fairly new to this larger community. The overall problem with the Tsargit was its size and that it required an inordinate amount of time to make any decisions. Commander Cinders was about ready to throw something at the Tsargit which very much needed a decision and not one when they could get around to it.
The Omnian's engineers were an extremely talented group of people and they had been working on understanding the transportation platforms that came with the inhabitable domes. These platforms could move people and goods instantaneously between planets which obviously created some tremendous trade relationships. The only problem with this is that some domes only had one or two platforms while others had up to five. None of the domes had all six possible platforms. Until now, no one knew how to create new platforms or a much greater task, create more domes. But, the Omnian engineers again were on the verge of at least figuring out how to create new platforms.
Their first try didn't turn out too well. It was very fortunate that no one was killed while a dome and the small moon it was on was turned to dust by a very, very massive explosion. It seemed that if the right combinations of glyphs and timing wasn't done in establishing a new platform, the entire source station could cease to exist! While the Omnians were willing to continue the attempts at establishing new platforms, they would eventually need to know where these new platforms would be located and who would they connect to. This was something the Tsargit was supposed to answer. That answer wasn't going to come any soon unless something was done by the Omnians.
So, while there wasn't a lot of fighting in this book, there was a lot of political intrigue which can be interesting if written well. By now, you should know that Mr. Jucha knows how to write very well on this subject. How he treats people of different races and presents different solutions to problems is remarkable. For example, you'll read about crimes against the Outpost by one of the older and established races who were also very powerful within the Alliance. How Commander Cinders goes about exposing their criminal activities and then punishing the guilty, is something of a remarkable solution that I probably wouldn't have though of and neither would most people! That's what so good about these books.
I need to say that this series actually has twenty-three books, but I did skip several when the Alliance segment was introduced. I don't know why I skipped those books, but it gives me something to look forward to going back to. Does that make sense? Anyway, there looks to be a twenty-fourth book, "Conclave", coming soon, I hope!

Great story with one minor flaw
Really, if you've made it this far through this series you understand the style and strength of the author. The wild concepts, the new challenges, the unusual entities, and the incredible technology. This is awe inspiring. But the one thing that continues to jar me is that - after 70+ years, development of new ships, bridges and technology - they can't figure out how to make a larger plate for Alex? Really? He doesn't need three Meriden sized plate, he needs one New Terran sized plate. It can't be more difficult than synthesizing Swee Swei spit to build a battleship.....

Exciting Q-Gate discoveries and further character developments
I can see things building to a crescendo. So many story lines and great growth of characters. I can hardly wait to read the final Silver Ships Book.
Amazing to see what happened to Alain DeLong who was a body guard, then warship commander, and now is starting the next phase of his life in a new role.
I know there is a new series by S. H. Jucha but I’m sorry to see the Silver Ships come to an end next book. Absolutely fantastic set of books.

I've been a fan of the Silver Ships series from the beginning! Scott is incredibly talented, and has created a fantastic universe of enthralling characters in these books! I love how creative and inventive they are in tackling their problems! I loved this latest book and I highly recommend checking this series out!

This series is getting intereting
New Adventures new challenges, Jess is becoming a new force like Alex Racine was, not that Alex is not there but his role has been moving to a role of Observer and Advisor, Sades are becoming closer to biologically and Mickey has more and more responsibilities in the future.

New challenges come as Alex and Jess unite many worlds for a common good.
Now fronts have to be addressed simultaneously while sharing the unlocked secrets of gate expansions. Politics impact safety and growth. Alex has delegated a large portion to Jess. Plans continue to expand.

Alex Racine and Renee deGuirnon continue their quest to bring peace and understanding to the far flung reaches of outer space. As the series goes on (this is #19), they are assuming more of an advisory role, letting new "biologicals" and SADES take on more of the day-to-day decision making roles. This has been a great series beginning with the SILVER SHIPS, and Q-GATES doesn't disappoint.

Wonderful Adventure
I've loved every book in this series. The characters are brave, exemplary, and likeable. The stories are fascinating. The Omnians' universe is fantastically complex and diverse. In other words, it's a sci-fi series of the first order and Q-Gates continues the saga admirably.

Another wow!
Love the excellent storytelling in this expansive space series. Favorite characters, new ones who will become favs and the challenge of building contacts and friends in a growing consortium of aliens. Add to that the terror of a common enemy that will not give up and this is a not to miss series:)

The hit parade continues
This is the 19th book in the silver ships series. Scott continues to surprise the reader with his excellent stories in the silver shops future universe. A great mixture of technical details, intriguing plots and interesting characters. I can't wait for the next book to come out, he always manages to pack surprises into each book. I'm hooked!

Success!
The riddle of the Gates has been solved. Every one is relieved that the drone has been delivered. Ude finally is healed, though I wasn't happy as to how he wants to make-up for his past mistakes. Jesse is finally becoming a leader (shades of Alex) somewhat slowly. Very happy with the changes the different worlds have done. Now to the next book.

Awesome as always
What more to say. Probably the best book in the series. The characters have become like friends, the books like letters about their lives. Can’t wait for the next one. Many thanks to a great author and story teller!

You know you have read a great book when you hate that the book has ended. I have looked forward to every book in the entire series from 1 to Q-Gates and I eagerly await the next book. Keep them coming.

Very real growth
Usually, for some series that has been running for a long time, the Author tend to repeat the formula that works. But it's different with Jucha. He manages to create new twist and turns that makes the storyline fresh on book 19. Can't wait to read the next book!

Build up for the next book
I love the series and can't bring myself to say anything bad about it. There are a few high energy points in the book. It feels like this is more of a build to the next book in the series. I look forward to the next book.

Is there a doubt?
Alex Racine and company has grown in many ways, his family, the humans and SADES has expanded. His life spreads across the galaxy's. Each of the books by Mr Jucha is a great expression of what life is suppose to be. Or hope to be.

Jucha has created a whole new sub-genre of Sci-fi - Utopian Porn. There is no threat here, no real challenge, no sense that our protagonists will fail, just a propaganda piece on the uniting power of a benevolent dictator.

One of my favourite books in the series
Well done. Really changed the tone and focused on others in the series to give them more focus. Funny as well and enjoyed the humour and development.

The saga continues
I enjoy the way S.H. bounces the stories around. In a way it gives depth to the stories characters and throws twists and turns in ways you see, but don't see coming.
Anyone that enjoys SiFi books should read this series. The have a grate balance to them.

Another fantastic read.
This is a great addition to the series. Fast paced and character driven. If you start reading you will not want to put it down.

The power of imagination
Jucha continually amazes me with the breadth of his creativity. Great read and a map for a more just society.
