Green Zone War #4
Rogue Navy
A Galaxy Engulfed by War
The Dawn Alliance and the United Worlds are locked in a bitter war over the rich worlds of the Green Zone. The colony of New Panama is caught between the giants, and Tom Thrush has the impossible job of leading her rag-tag navy in a desperate struggle for survival.
The Burden of Command
His fleet is a mix of armed freighters and salvaged warships. The crews are former pirates with no military training. His enemy has the most powerful navy the galaxy has ever seen. With no hope of victory, he fights just to postpone annihilation.
But these are the famed rebels of the Free Planets, tough and resourceful and hard as rats to kill. They might not count for much in a straight fight, but they know a thing or two about tackling impossible odds. If Tom can earn their respect, they might just teach him something about survival - or even victory.

As the series progresses it becomes easier to at least ignore (if never accept) the terrible “science” and really lean into the fiction. What Elwood lacks in basic research, be makes up for in solid plot which continues to emerge with believable surprise.

Another good adventure. This book has the author branching out a little and having more than one point of view. It is a welcome change. The series is definitely story driven rather than character driven. This book should appeal to players of space-based RPGs and the entire series reminds me a lot of the Battletech books I've read.

Starts where book 3 ended. (I suppose) it leads directly into book 5. Entertaining but lightweight. Characters (especially bad guys) are cardboard cutouts. This entire series is competently written, but far from anything resembling art or craft.

Great series
Just wish I didn’t have to wait so long to get to book five. Definitely a little different from the average space wars book.

DNF 57%. Just a series of fights with no interpersonal connections.

I'm enjoying this series. Jake Elwood does a very good job drawing you onto both the characters and the action.
