Hunters: Spinward Fringe Broadcast 16
As Jacob Valent leads the Merciless and the rest of his battlegroup across The Cluster to assess threats against the Fleet, Alice Valent starts making good on the promise she made to an alliance of rebel captains to steal at least one recently finished Order of Eden Advanced Destroyer right from the shipyard. All the while the leader of the Justicars, an elite battalion of Order of Eden Knights, searches for her. His primary mission is to capture her for Admiral Scanlon. The Order's grip on planet Rodus will either start to slip or tighten depending on whether or not Alice's ambitious plans work out. All could be lost if she fails to realize that she's being hunted before it's too late.

Fast, furious, fabulous!
As from the title you can tell this is the 16th book in the series and I honestly thought I would have gotten boarded by these adventures long ago, as I have with other series. Hell no! This is up with the best by far. To have the whe "family" together in one book was awesome, but the "oh Great Universe" moments blind sided me everytime. I decided I was not going to read it as a twice weekly serial on Patreon, which you can do to, and that I would limited myself on the number of pages I would read a day. That lasted for the first few days before I just couldn't put the book down, to the extent that I was wondering what was going on in those pages that I hadn't read yet when I was trying to do something else! Yet again I was so engrossed in the story that I was caught out when I came to the end of the book, oh, the pain. Never before has a series of books held me glued to the pages as these have. As I said on the Facebook Randolph Lalonde and the Spinward Fringe Crew page, at page 22 I sighed and thought "I'm home".

An excellent blend of excitement and world building.
This series continues to be one of the best self published sci-fi books I have ever read. Hunters added in another layer of complexity and completeness to an already expansive amd captivating universe. The action held me on the edge of my seat throughout the novel. I can't wait for the next book!

Darryl's Review
I Truly Love This Series Each of the Characters have Good & Bad in them to Varying Degrees that affect Decisions or that arise due to Situations. Advanced Technology that is amazing. New Characters That I hope to read about again sometime soon. A Very Good Book in A Exceptional Series.

Can't we all just get along?
It seems that I have been reading this series for a few years now and do you know why? It is once of the best sci-fi book series that I have read since I was very young. Randolph sticks to good characters and a rock solid story line. Keep on writing and I will keep reading Mr. Lalonde, you have my attention.

Love This Series
I love this series. 16 books in and I hope it doesn't end. If I'm reading something that else when a new Spinward book is released, I stop reading that book and read the Spinward book!

One of the best in the series. I really felt that several of the last few books have been ramping up for some action, and Hunters delivers. Lots of action, lots of new discoveries and some interesting directions for us to take the story moving forward. A great series that I've been truly enjoying.

I never thought I could be 16 volumes into a series and still be excited about reading it.
Lalonde does a wonderful job of keeping the stories moving forward and getting better!

Great book in the series! Loved it!!!
I came here after reading Rogue Element Books 1-3. And I'm so happy I got to witness where Rogue came from and the circumstances of her creation. Great read as usual from Randolph!
