Delphi in Space #4
Delphi Nation
The McCormacks have been trying to keep a low profile so they can complete their plan to bring Earth to the club of spacefaring civilizations without creating a world war over the technology. But it’s hard to keep a low profile while building a space station, what with lifting all the material they need, designing new shuttles, and harnessing asteroids. Without any other choice, they go public.
Find out what is in store for them as the nations of Earth deal with the shocking technology and power that having the high ground of space means.

About the author
Bob Blanton
71 books335 followersBob Blanton has been an avid reader ever since his mother first took him to a library at age five. He has toyed with writing for years since college but was always too busy to start a novel. The "stone series" developed almost by itself as he was trying to sleep on long flights to Asia and Europe. He managed to write it and two follow-on novels while he was working, but never had the time to polish them. After he retired to the beach in Mexico, the only thing that competes with writing is the sound of the ocean and sunsets over the water. Now that he has published his series, he hopes you enjoy reading them as much as he has had writing them. Check back for other books as he continues to ply his new trade.
Now that he has published his series, he hopes you enjoy reading about Matthew and his developing powers as much as he has enjoyed writing about them.

An idiot whilst insulting an essayist, complained to her that I list trans female creators.
The arrogant Snowflake (insecure, womanphobic, US tittie-baby) no longer surprises. A Trigger Warning then.
The channels I list include the botanist, het, Iranian, military historian, sociologist, bi, military boardgamer, lumber yard worker, paleontologist, sewist, socialist, asexual, redhaired, cosplayer, fashion historian, marine biologist, chemist, queer, Irish, boat restorer, astrophysicist, aviation modeller, oil painter, chess master, trans, miniatures painter, miniatures wargamer, miniatures builder, van lifer, political commentator, Bahamian, cis, mother, architect, anarchist, book reviewer, comedienne, lesbian, older, Canadian, literary critic, train historian, political historian, physically challenged, intersex, psychologist, New Zealander, pensioner and other creators known as Women.
Almost as threatening are channels with an anarchist, other LGBTQi+, Cornish, miniatures gamer, tailor, game historian, wood worker, other BIPOC, zoologist, book reviewer, other fashion historian, Polish, writer, other neurodivergent, boater, artist, ginger, military modeller, Estonian, archaeologist, city planner, comedian, AI artist, photographer, communist, futurist, narrowboater, train modeller, other chemist, Australian and other creators known (outside the US) as Human Beings.
If the voices persist, I suggest emergency therapy and\or developing a new skill, perhaps reading and\or immediately apply for a Catholic exorcism.
Reliving interactions with those clods are often draining. At times like those, I think of the handful of Swordfish pilots who attacked the port of Taranto in 1940, disabling among other ships much of the Italian capital ship core. Then I return to reviews. Glory to Ukraine. Glory to the Heroes. Crimea is Ukraine.
Once more unto the book. The summary of all books in this vein, reads as follows. A small working class family, friend group or individual is poised to become the next wealthiest or most powerful human in the universe.
The main characters are supposedly working class and not privately educated. They are always financially comfortable, brilliant, "moral" and self-taught.
The main characters are always US citizens with a very limited list of English surnames, though for diversity the list may include a Scottish, Welsh or Irish named secondary character.
Within the first ten pages, it is established that what seed capital exists was accumulated by the main character with No assistance, through their own hard work, etc.
The main character is adult male. They will exhibit an undeserved self-satisfaction, an arrogance worthy of a hedge fund manager and limited social skills presented as befitting his obvious superiority.
The main character as female will be so emotionally stunted as to be mistakenly thought autistic. She will advance the interest of her male equivalent. Females also provide the cover art of catsuits, go-go boots, cleavage enhancing leather coats and other outfits which are the preferred spacer gear. It is very 1950's.
There are now teen versions of these, which seem to justify YA labelling.
That fantasy is justification for Imperial wars of conquest for Glory? and corporate profits. If the US reader were exposed to British education, they might have asked the question raised by an Imperial Poet Laureate. How has killing and dying for Imperial profit and glory ever benefited "Tommy Atkins"?
The theme of libertarian books is "The strong do as they will, the weak suffer what they must." Classical Greek, now British, US and Russian political wisdom.
I am ashamed when fellows of the working class choose to accept that the wealthy are not responsible for society spanning problems. I find no excuse for surrender of any pretence of critical thought or empathy.
Consider treating this as a hostile site. 🤔
Goodreads discourse is non existent. As example, about three years ago I wrote a short six or seven sentence review of Powers of the Earth by Travis Corcoran. The book originally blurbed as similar to a Heinlein classic, is instead "Atlas Shrugged" set on the Moon.
The story is a tale of the heroic efforts of a rich twat to enlist the military in overthrow of a US government in order that he not pay taxes. This and similar are staples of Unlimited science fiction. I am communist and found these books dangerous fantasies and now prophetic.
Travis self-described as Libertarian (now anarcho capitalist without millions), US veteran,
advocate for the return of chattel slavery (popular stance in MAGA world which excites no comment in legacy or social media. New forced labour prisons are being built to hold certain federal detainees, the unhoused, destitute van and auto residents including children. Given that their existence is now criminalised and they lack human rights there seem no pathways to release. I judge generational enslavement to be on the cards.
No Democratic or Republican legislator or administration have moved to dismantle either of the two agencies which have no accountability for deaths in custody or the thousands of.agency over decades. Given general apathy of the electorate, the open support from tens of millions voters for the publicised cruelty, the billionaire public support of eugenics, the indifference of every federal government and US history, the trajectory of mid 1930's Germany from enslavement to death camps is being repeated.)
an employee of an unnamed US agency and supporter of Putin's Russia (another popular position, with both Biden and Trump seemingly mesmerized by the prospect of regaining profitable extraction of Russian natural resources. Both political Parties are unconcerned with the U.S. normalisation of Russian levels of open corruption and the replication of Russian levels of poverty.).
Travis and six fellow patriots sent a year-long stream of comment. No mention was made of the book, though I was gifted with the realisation that my refusal to engage evidenced narcissism, my intelligence suspect, class background and education derided, delivered correct understandings of Western history, Philosophy and more.
I had begun to hope that thoughts on the Ordovician Extinction would be offered but was disappointed.
The final comment was delivered by Claes Rees Jr aka cgr710 now ka Clayton R Jesse Jr. After referencing the contents of the last message exchange with a Goodreads friend, he declared that They had "won" (?).
I discovered that They and many allies had launched a year long+ tsunami of vile comments sexual, racist, anti-LGBTQ and other anti-human comments against apparently every channel which I listed and it continues still.
The marine biologist, primatologist, archaeologist, pensioner and many other women were not flattered.
Despite that failure, the world's overabundance of unpleasantness was successfully increased and an eerily accurate self-portrait of the snowflake (vicious, mental US man-child in full outrage) was delivered to a multinational audience.
Surely a Victory. If the madness above is disturbing, there are BookTubers to suggest saner, safer, true reader forums.
This comment stream was not far different to any of the others, except in duration until the Australian intervention.

Ominous music begins. 😊 These gangs are a staple of Goodreads. The comment gangs indulge in the hacking, stalking, threats, doxxing and Amazon do not discipline the mental member, punish writers who encourage Them or dismiss the employees who enable Them.
My very limited message history was given over to these Thugs. This made possible a request through Pine Gap Centre that Australian Security interrogate the one friend whom I occasionally messaged. The attempt at my personal information failed.
Amazon expressed no concern until we broadly shared our experience. At that point, with no acknowledgement of crimes committed, my page format and options were after several years restored to normal, all Lurkers whom I'd not been Permitted to remove were disappeared, Kindle bricking ended and the rest.
A BookTuber criticising anti-human elements of a title, suffered having her review deleted, her membership threatened and finally received a comment to her channel that she "should die". Those Goodreads scamps. 🙂
Another suffered bricking of her Kindle and access to her cloud library blocked. Her crime was to challenge an obvious Amazon double billing.
A seventh EBay ex-employee, who had been the Chief of Global Security or some such was sentenced for harassment of a couple whose small ecommerce site had been had been deemed unkind. They were awarded millions.
I expect more and more serious actions from US data firms.
I suggest "American Nihilism" as a read for understanding the violence and cruelty embedded in US culture. With more than 300 years of refinement and reinforcement the reactions of certain readers and Amazon employees are inevitable.
If you do not find the above to be normal or are not a US reader, I make suggestions.
Remove all personal information from profile and avoid messaging. Remove lurkers, those who never post. They are likely gang monitors or employee dummies.
With the Goodreads penchant for Alteration to customer pages, screenshots of the odd, ugly and threatening are more than useful.
Kindle is the more dangerous exposure. Do Not use Kindle Files, Email, Contacts or Calendar. Amazon employees Sign Into customer emails with neither permission nor notice. Use of Files, Email, Contacts and Calendar are an open invitation.
Do Not "purchase" Amazon E-books as you own the device only and if Kindle that is conditional. There are BookTubers to suggest other e-book and device vendors or alternatives to ebooks altogether.
Silk searches should be innocuous and non-critical.
It might also be helpful to bear in mind that the techs you query are the same who take the above actions with little fear of consequences. These deranged members and techs alike are US patriots with all that implies. The one question They will never ask. "Are we the baddies? " Ominous music ends. 😊
Be safe. May we all enjoy Good Reading! 🤗

At times the pace of the developments is a bit ridiculous, but if you just 'gloss over' that, then the story is fun and makes an enjoyable read. Catie is the main heroine of the books and without her I'm not sure I would keep reading.
If possible I would have given 3.5 stars, however I decided to give three because I wasn't happy with the final action in the book.

Soft sci-fi
The Delphi series is very very light soft sci-fi, a starship on the bottom of the ocean, amazing technology from deep space, that the lowly earthlings improve upon. Crisis of the month dominates, where book one had adults basically in charge, young teens now run the show, with the adults present as window dressing. The author wants to create a balance discrimination free world, which was presented as pages and pages on the creation of government.
The series is easy too read, but should be considered as YA for the general reader.

A very good, unique, series!
March 7, 2021
I just blew through all the books in this series (1-9 as I’m certain more are coming). As a result I am doing one review for all the books. The top item is: these books are significantly better than 95% of self-published books. Book one is by far the worst of the series and it is still okay. Book one’s main problem is that it lacks story resolution, something I hate and generally do not forgive. Here, however, the author tells a more character driven story which reduces the need for a firm resolution. In fact another review for book 9 caught my eye and it was complaining about a lack action, something I would typically complain about as well but did not even consider as the development of the characters was fascinating.
After book one the author uses a recipe: resolve main story but end on a teaser for the next book. Personally I find using teasers a bad idea as it distracts from the story just told. It also seems to me that a truly competent author would not require teasers as readers would come back for more without them. Oddly enough I am reminded of Lilian Jackson Braun’s “Cat Who” series. It was also character driven and yet she never felt the need to end one of her books with a teaser for the next book (and I read this entire series even though I am not a mystery reader).
Bottom line: good, enjoyable books.

there La a certain brilliance in the composition of this series.
The amount thought and planning that went into this book is astounding. This is one impressive self-published author. One would think a publisher would grab on to him.
The situations and problems and solutions are well thought out. If you can suspend disbelief a bit and ignore the insanely short timelines, you will see the remarkable thought that went into making things work.
I feel bad about criticizing his copy editor now. The grammar and word usage are generally very good, certainly better than most self published books. SORRY Bob, please apologize to your wife for me. Your writing is very entertaining.

There really wasn't much of a story here, mostly description and dialog. A few minor incidents occurred. There was a chapter with a copy of the Delphi constitution, which was similar to the US constitution. There was no justification for the various clauses in this constitution, or why it was different than the US version, or even where it was different. I know one is supposed to suspend disbelief when reading fiction, yet at this point in this sequence of books that suspension is extremely difficult. The book is a poor description of someone's idea of a utopia that doesn't address the historical problems associated with attempts at creating such a society. Including the constitution did not support the story, it undermined the story. In one episode, the rights of citizens are usurped by a foreign entity and eventually a small invasion is suppressed without reasonable oversight of the government's actions and without any action against a team of covert blackmailers living in the society.

Moving along nicely
Still a good escapist story. It’s the main reason for fiction . The action interspersed with family issues and funny things makes for an enjoyable read. One BIG error NEVER EVER SAY EX MARINE. It is always and forever FORMER MARINE. I was Navy do it isn’t personal with me. To me they were all Jarheads😇😇

Still an excellent book, excellent series, plenty of world building.
You will really enjoy this book in the series if you like world building. I did not review books 2 and three because they were basically The same format. There was plenty of world building, good character development and some action at the end of the book. So far the series is fun, not to Machiavellian in its plot but a good fast-paced read. I like Katie even though I do not like children in books because she is a child prodigy, I did not give a book of five because there was some slope parts in this book. But the characters are engaging in the plot moves right along going on to the next book. PS there is one more thing I found disconcerting, The abrupt changes between space station and earthbound needed a little bit more transition, it Took a few seconds before I realized that they were on earth or in space. I know this book has plenty of reviews and I can see why it is well worth reading.

The book is easy to read because its mostly reading conversations vs reading narrative descriptions. I enjoyed it and look forward to the next book. A couple things I found hard to believe, even is a sci fi boo. Its a stretch to have Catis being the lead on so many things, including flying supersonic planes. But I just do not get how we are to believe that they let two eleven year old twins go on a space plane and then play around on an asteroid. THAT is just not believable in my opinion. THEN, they took both of them to the ISS.
One thing that I really loved about the book is the way the Delphi nation ignored and shunned the US. It made me laugh the way the US was unable to barge in and take over the way they always in real life stick their noses in other people's business. I loved reading that the US president was about to "bust-a-gut" trying to take over what Delphi was doing.

Better 'n' Better
That's just what this series is becoming, better and better. A thought 'flitted' across my mind that this particular episode was a combining of James Bond and Star Trek (2 of my favorites). Even the technical issues and terminology didn't bog me down which usually happens when reading some of the books in the Sci-fi genre. The interactions between all the protagonists was so entertaining that I found myself speed reading and had to slow down so that nothing was missed. In all, this book checked all my boxes with the action, intrigue, a little romance and let's not forget the laugh out loud humor!! Again, thank you to author Bob Blanton for another great read. Now on to the next episode.

Best board meetings ever
Innovative, fun interaction, healthy good people. The leader who sensed they needed to hurry still gave the time allotments to do things needed to achieve the ever growing snowball of goals.
Might be a thought to collaborate with the author of Breakthrough. His series might be plausible to connect. Read his action chapters as a thought on a good style to flush out periods of adventure and conflict. His characters and concepts could compliment yours.
Delphi series so far are excellent syfy books. Binge read all of the Delphi series. Looking forward to the next one.

Blanton, Bob. Delphi Nation. Delphi in Space No. 4. Kindle, 2019.
In this fourth book in the Delphi series, poor Marc has to wrestle with the multiple problems of creating a national constitution and an international tech corporation at the same time. Delphi moves its city into international waters and declares itself to be a constitutional monarchy. Poor marc is the monarch, whether he wants to be or not. If you have read the series this far, you won’t have any major surprises. I am not sure we needed the whole text of the Delphi constitution, but Blanton obviously had fun writing it. 3.5 stars.

Really enjoying this series. Just a wonderful and fantastic story about what good intentions and breathtaking use of technology can accomplish. Imagine a city with peace and calm, work and enterprise for all who want it, free medical care and health choices, housing, security and sense of community, equal rights, no discrimination, and so on... Fun characters, lots of drama and suspense, and a great plot with a lot of legs and twists and turns. Brilliant and entertaining and thought provoking, too.

The hits keep on coming
Well, I'm very pleased to see my previous comments didn't tempt fate (unlike some comments by the characters which always seem to court disaster. The narrative.works well, though there is still a degree of "we're perfect" on the part of the characters which seems a common feature of this kind of fiction (I remember the Space Force series suffered from this).
Sometimes the good guys can be imperfect??
That said, I'm criticising a small element as that's the worst I can find.
If you're still reading this then you should be downloading this book!!

And the fun continues!
Space Station building can be complicated and requires some a balancing acts - but the Gang is up to it , especially the twins. Things get hair after Independence Day but Delphi City is much more resilient that their opponents expect. Author Blanton continues to drag us into his plot and intrigue us with great social improvements and revelations. Will jump into next part of saga soon.

An engrossing story unfolding realistically
While I enthusiasticlly read books two and three I failed to review them, but they were so good I charged right on to the next book. I'm pausing here to emphasize how enjoyable this story and series of books truly is.
So, if you'll excuse me I'm gonna move right on to Book Five because I can't wait to continue and find out what happens next....

The series continues to be fun
Things progress rapidly in the Delphi Nation. It's a natural consequence how much the author wants to accomplish within each book. That makes it a little thin in places, but it's enjoyable to see the broad scope of the development in the new nation and it's technology.

Independence Day
Marc and crew surmount problems that arise with other governments trying to steal their technology. They continue to expand their operation at a rapid rate. Catie, Marx's precocious 14 year old daughter continues to shine although she still has some things to learn. I like the action, humor, strategy, and a bit of romance. I have downloaded the next book.

Very good hard scifi series with some space opera notes.
I had my doubts about the whole series. However, I've come to love it. It's slow going unless it's fast, and then things get real. The development of a complete country after finding an alien ship, and working out a believable timeline and such grows on me. Two thumbs up for the entire series.

Excellent
And I should also mention that even though I've made some criticisms they have been more than balanced by the research he has done to present a story that at least has enough good science to keep my interest. So I thank him for that. Also, thanks for keeping the dialog more adult. I've bought the next in the series.

Wow!
Well Now, the Delphi Nation has really grown in this chapter of what 's going on for our true heroes. It seems that every time they think they have some problems covered, along comes something else. New adventures in space and on the ground have definitely shown us the suspense that had been missing. I can't wait to read the next installment!

A series which gets better as you read through it is a pleasant change from usual. In his part of the story our heroes declare independence from the rest of the world to protect their advanced science and their plan to save the world from itself. another enjoyable read and more sci fi situations as the series proceeds.

Enjoyable book
Loved this book. I liked that is a fast moving book with technology that is very informative that you can imagine. It also was not overwhelming with technical knowledge. I also enjoyed that there was not any miss-spelled words or words spelled right but not the right word for the sentence. Thank you for a great read. Renee Ladd

Sad
I was really enjoying this set until this one. Anti-gun much. Apparently the only people in this utopia that are allowed to have weapons are the elite special forces. Less a benevolent monarchy and more a dictatorship.

Too easy.
I like this series but after 4 books I was waiting for s** to hit the fan but again things are happen smoothly and the problems the team meets don’t have any lasting damage or bush back.
I’m hoping the book to things to next level.

Going international!
Welp, they just keep innovating and growing and accomplishing more....and it's fun to be along for the ride. More of the same in this series, but if you've read this far into it, you know you enjoy it. Looking forward to the next!

Mostly the same but different. Next country to step into the bad guy shoes... Oh work until you die but less so. Still a fun read but less so than the first three.

Author's political views get in the way ofd what would otherwise be a good story
I really enjoyed the first couple of books but the authors overtly socialist and anti-2A views really turned me off on this book.

Another good story
The McCormacks and their friends are back doing good things and stopping bad guys. The story is well written and has a diverse group of characters with an interesting plot. A fun read.
