Good start to a pretty cool series, now expanded to two trilogies. And it starts here with "The Lazarus Protocol" - an attempt to bring the earth back from the brink of destruction (like raising Lazarus from the dead) due to climate change crisis and the wars and unrest that occur in the wake of the rise in natural disasters.
This is just the backdrop to the novel, folks - it's not a climate crisis manifesto or a political commentary, just a timely set-up for the rise of 5 manufacturing syndicate factions - and an evil world leader who seeks to control the solar system as humans expand beyond earth. Think "The Expanse" meets a corporate "Goodfellas." It's military sci-fi set in the near future and has lots of action and thrills and intrigue.
These books do contain adult situations, some gratuitous, imo - the story features a fair amount of swearing, and some violence - which I don't really appreciate and so I gave the first book 4 1/2 stars instead of 5. Also, this is trilogy, so you'll need to read all three for the full story. But then, a second trilogy awaits if you like it and want more! If you enjoy this space opera, you'll enjoy the SynCorp Sagas. Well done.
PS This is a box set of the first trilogy, new on Amazon.

Climate crisis disguised as mil fiction
Soft writing, spare me the climate crisis as a premise. If this is the extent of your imagination, I'll pass. Avoid.
