When it comes to motley crews, the Blackout has most starships beat. But as a ruthless force swarms over the quadrant, crushing and enslaving all civilizations in its path, it falls to this unlikely band of non-heroes to turn the tide. If they don't kill each other first. Vanquish , the ninth book in the Blackout series, is old-fashioned space opera at its best, perfect for fans of action-packed drama and fun! The Blackout series is an homage to thrilling pulp sci-fi of yesteryear. If you're interested in hard science fiction look elsewhere. But if you're looking for action-packed adventures on strange worlds with even stranger aliens, this series is for you!
Oh, did I ever enjoy this series! I fell for the characters, each one. Funny, hoe the written word has the ability to imprint characters into our hearts and minds. I felt the weight of each character as the conclusion began,, a sadness for losing those returning home and a joy for the same. This book, this entire series is about great integrity, fighting for something that has no benefit for oneself but for others, for strangers. Giving all that you have for what is honorable and right.
Rich characters, a thrilling storyline and just a damn good read.
Many thanks to Daniel Young for the numerous hours spent in my imagination as the journey unfolded page after page. A must read for all who enjoy science fiction.
More battles with unlimited fighters and weapons. More exciting and miraculous escapes until suddenly they weren’t miraculous any more. The emotional ending tied up all the loose ends but left me feeling unsatisfied and sad.
This was a good series to just sit back and dream that you are there. I had a very good time reading this series , it even had some funny parts in it . The book had plenty of action both in space and on different planets. Great series ,give it a try.
What another exciting story. Plenty of fast action to keep you wondering what could possibly happen next. Loved the characters, so strong, trying to save the day. Ready for the next.
