Grimm's War #5
Know Thy Enemy
All Jacob Grimm needs is a fast ship and a star to sail her by.
The war isn't going well. While the Alliance and their ally reinforce the wormhole, the Caliphate ravages the rest of the Consortium with perfectly timed attacks that are crippling their ship production. No matter where the Consortium defends, the Caliphate is one step ahead.
Secretary of the Navy Wit DeBeck knows how, secret faster-than-light communications, but he can't stop them, not without the president's approval.
For the same reason the Consortium can't pull ships from the Wormhole, neither can the Alliance. Wit doesn't need a task force, though, just a handful of light ships to steal the most valuable technology in the entire galaxy.
He even has the location...
A secret base orbiting a black hole that creates a natural barrier to starlane travel. Whatever ship they send better be fast, because if it isn't, the gravitational forces of the black hole will rip it to shreds.
Good thing the Navy has just such a ship... and a commander crazy enough to pull off the impossible.

The book is not yet available to the public, but two morons give it two stars? Of course they don't write reviews... they can't. They have no idea what it is about. (I had an advance copy.)
This is classic Grimm. Haskell gets better and more nuanced with every book.
Loyalty.
Honor.
Duty.
Patriotism.
Understanding that there are bad guys. Vile governments that do not reflect the will of the people governed. That even relatively benign governments have dirty players... And the ones telling you what you want to hear aren't necessarily good guys.
If you have served in the military, you will like the portrayal of those situations.
Update: This series was a Dragon Award finalist for a reason. Every book in the series has been #1 in Military SF on Amazon.

Another fantastic volume
The Grimms War series is a great space opera series and this volume is no exception. I love the action, drama, and intrigue. This one is about FTL communications and stopping them.

3.5/5
I finished this 3 or 4 days ago now and was delayed writing the review.
There's not a lot to say, really. It's not an overly unique piece of work to begin with, and this book is more of the same.
That's not to say it wasn't interesting, because most of it was. It's just not really unique.
There's a scene which I really don't like, however. Grimm gets a hunch they are being led into a trap and suggests to the admiral they fire a volley of torpedoes at an empty area of space at just the right time and the right area to hit a 100+ strong enemy armada and absolutely wipe them out. This is very unbelievable to me. Simply due to the vastness of space and the timing needed. It just felt very fake, with too many coincidences lining up to seem believeable.
I believe the editing was still less than stellar.
But all in all, it's not a bad read.

These books are fun and the sci-fi equivalent of a trashy beach read. This book had more than a few “slap my forehead “ moments and the Watanabe storyline is just stupid. But it was another mostly entertaining journey into the Grimm universe.

This fifth part is in line with the series, classic, well-paced Military SF. The different points of view are centered on the same place, which allows the author not to decenter the action this time.
The mission and its challenges are very correct.
However, I found the interactions between the characters less accurate than in the previous parts, more artificial, and the action scenes are less convincing, too disjointed for my taste.
The author does everything possible not to make his characters invulnerable, but he does so rather clumsily, by adding rather crude technical constraints.
I also find that the boy scout and romantic side of the main character becomes a little ridiculous.
I don't know if it's me who's getting tired of the series or if there's really a drop in quality. Probably a bit of both.

Better - solid 3.5 stars. Feels like the author is really getting to grips with the world they've created and this reflects well in the book. Good fun series which is not difficult to read and if you can ignore the rather weak 2nd and 3rd books is worth persisting with.

Wow
Like the other books in the series, very well written! The author has built his characters with both good and bad traits. It makes them more real life!

We’re back and thank goodness, Commander Jacob T. Grimm, currently assigned as Task Force XO under Admiral Spencer, has received a new assignment. Yet, during his last assigment, he had deftly managed to prevent the task force from entering a Caliphate ambush. One of the things the Consortium had known was that the Caliphate had FTLC (Faster than Light Comms) gave them at a great advantage over Alliance manuevers. They had used that system to setup the ambush and if Jacob hadn’t recognized what they were doing it would have been a disaster for the Alliance fleet. Fortunately, that disaster was placed upone the Caliphate fleet and they were decimated. Back in port, Jacob had new orders. He was to report to Rasputin Station.
Upon getting there he entered the office of the Chief Engineer only to find it his old Chief Engineer Rob Beckett. Rod had been severly injured in on of Jacob’s pass missions with the *Interceptor*. Rod said he had something he wanted to show Jacob so the had a very slient man named Petrov escort Jacob to an aircar which they soon had heading towards the drydocks. Rod spoke up on the speakers in the car telling Jacob that the Governor had wanted to keep something a secret, but it was soon going to be revealed to Jacob. About that time he saw the drydocks and setting there was none other than the *Inteceptor*, Jacob’s former command.
Jacob was stunned since the thought the old ship had been scrapped after their last action. But no, it was getting re-fitted and upgraded as he could see. Rod also told Jacob that he was soon going to get new orders reassigning him as Captain of the *Interceptor* again! Those orders did come and with them came a lot of his former crewmembers. To say Jacob was stunned was the least you could say, but as always, he took it in stride and began to ensure his ship was getting well taken care of.
Meanwhile, former Admiral Wit DeBeck had a new job. He was now Secretary of the Navy (SECNAV) and a civilian. This had come about by order of the President, so no, Admiral DeBeck didn’t get to just retire. He also knew about the Caliphate’s used of FTLC and knew the Coinsortuim had to acquire that technology and soon. He had word that the inventor of this tech had died for some reason but his daughter, Dr. Yursa Abbasi was supposedly working on furthering her Father’s work. Yet, she was being held in a very secure location by the Caliphate far beyond the Consortiums grasp, or so eveyone thought.
Nadia Dagher, former Naval Commander and spy for the Consortium, found herself a wanted person for doing the right thing. She was in hiding trying to figure out how to get back into the good graces of one Wit DeBeck, her former boss. But, she should have known that the former Chief of Naval Intelligence knew everything and he proved it by showing up right where she was hiding!
She didn’t know if he was there to take her into custody nor did she know what she would do if he were to try. Fortunately, he had no intentions of doing that, but he had a mission that he wanted her to execute. He wanted her to capture Dr. Abbasi and either destroy the FTLC equipment or steal the plans so the Consortium could begin building their own. This wasn’t going to be an easy assignment. Dr. Abbasi was located in a very, very secret Caliphate base that could only be approached by very specific ships.
As it turns out, one of those specific types of ships was the *Interceptor*! While Nadia was going to have to find her own way to the secret base acting as a lowly servant woman, the *Interceptor* was supposed to come and extract her. This wasn’t going to be an easy mission for the *Interceptor* since they would be behind enemy lines a long, long way. One mistake and they could be the target of the entire Caliphate navy. Still, Jacob Grimm was very glad to have his command back and he also was very pleased to him most of his old crew aboard. Now he only had to keep from getting eveyone killed!
There will be more missions for the crew of the *Inteceptor* althought at some point Commander Grimm should be promoted and put in command of a much bigger ship. I don’t think that will happen in the next book, “A Grimm Decision”, but we’ll need to read it to find out.

#5 in the Grimm's War series and, despite the long and dreary beginning, this was great! If you can get past the first 77 pages of nothing happening, the rest of the book more than makes up for it.
Nadia infiltrates a hidden-up-until-now enemy base so that she can ferret out the secret to their communications technology. It's a pretty impressive setup, and it's unlike anything the Alliance has. This base is located on an uninhabitable planet deep within Caliph space. It's also located about two spits away from a massive black hole. That black hole gave just about every character in this book the willies at one time or another, and I can't say that I blame them! Along with the technology, Nadia also needs to rescue the scientist being held there. (This scientist has requested asylum from the Alliance.) Jacob and the crew of the Interceptor are sent to extract them.
The fighting engagements within this story were written particularly well. Not only both on and above the planet next to the creepy black hole, but also on the violent penal colony of Midway. The author can write some darned exciting scenes! The blind cat and mouse game with the enemy ship in the atmosphere, (blind since the black hole caused audio & visual sensor interference for both ships), was fantastic. All around good action.
The characters were just as well-written, too. I was happy to see Gunnery Sgt Jennings was given more stage time. I really like her! She had some significant things unexpectedly develop. Jacob was his normal honorable and likeable self. I still think that he should have thrown that twit in the brig right away like I advised. But he didn't listen to me when I said it out loud to my Kindle, lol!
I just bought the next one in the series so I plan to continue reading them as long as they hold my interest.

Captain Grimm is back, as are some of the crew. The book starts with the captain on a different ship as they go up against the Caliphate. For unexplained reasons the Caliphate ships are playing defensively, and Grimm smells a trap.
Sure enough, he's right. He just has to convince the commander of the mission of that fact.
Fast forward and Grimm gets to meet the new and updated Interceptor. They have a special, secret mission. They need to travel to Caliphate space to a research planet hidden between a black hole and a sun. The ship has to maintain five hundred gravities to make the trip without falling into the sun or the black hole.
The ship and captain tasked to do this? Captain Grimm and the Interceptor. Before they can do this they have to get there, and they're going to use the Terraforming Guild's star lanes. Along the way they stop at Midway, a former Caliphate prison planet.
I'll stop the recap there. I liked most of the story. Captain Grimm is back in action and his crew step up and meet the challenges. Also on board are a special forces team along with the usual marines. Nadia is also in play, although I won't reveal how.
This is another great addition to the series. There isn't a dull moment, although I disliked the crewmember who went AWOL scenes just because it didn't seem realistic. Otherwise, this is a great military science fiction novel that keeps you reading until the end.
Aethon's editing is fair to okay at best, which is disappointing. My rating is based on how much I enjoyed the story, and that's a solid 5/5*

Damn, I Lost Respect
Even though this series was a little young adult and certainly overly mushy with praise and glory for the main character, I could still respect the story. However, in Book 5 I’d lost that respect. I just can’t continue with the series. Spoilers!!! A spacer deserts the ship, along with 3 others and kidnaps a fourth. Severely damages the ship in the process, gets two spacers killed and almost ruins the mission. The commander barely even reprimands the spacer. REALLY??? Puts the spacer back on duty!!! And furthermore the crew praises the commander as if this was a very special and just thing to do. OMGosh…it’s barely tolerable to consider such a thing. I’ve lost the respect for the story and I’m ditching the series. Too bad, it was interesting and it had a lot of potential. But the books are just too gushy gushy for the great commander…honestly, I think the guy comes across as a doofus.

Jacob Grimm🐺💪🗡🔫 Saves the Universe💫🌏
Adult sci-fi Space opera🚀💫💥5th in series.
I did not like this book as much as the others But it was still good. Parts of it seemed a little bit tedious And long winded and even incredulous.
The writer has also apparently gotten bitten by the PC bug. He forgives all indiscretions with only Slight reprimands even when some of his crew get others of the crew killed and the ship badly damaged. What is going on?
I got this e-book from amazon with kindle unlimited.
Maybe this is the problem with these long series of books. They eventually deteriorate towards the end. The story gets too long and the other has problems devising new plots and new ways to Use his characters.

Never has an author kept me on the edge of my seat like this one!!! I wonder if any of the military equipment will ever become reality. Of course FTL needs to become reality first. Oh well, I just keep hoping... And in the meantime I'll just keep reading. And thank you Jeffery for portraying the the most evil culture/religion that currently exits in the world for exactly the way it is and the way it will be in the future... Unless the good people that are trapped in it someday rise up and change it!!!

Great Battle Story laced with greatest of difficult circumstances to overcome .
In the middle of hard facts of almost completely overwealming circumstances the crew found themselves in all departments that kept me turning page after page to see how the odds were so unpredictable in so many situations ! People died and people survived in very unforeseen outcomes !
So many touch and go sections that kept changing all the time and kept me wondering the whole time of what could they actually survive ?
Could they pull it off !
This was very rich and so unexpected in so many situations !
Kept me going forward to see what was next !
Recommend this read totally !

Captain Grimm accepts a dangerous mission to steal a faster than light communication device from the enemy Caliphate. His lover, Nadia Dagher, infiltrates the enemy's installation and works from the inside on the mission. Plans develop, battles take place, and an exciting story unfolds. Excellent once again. Another enjoyable chapter in the amazing Grimm's War space saga.

Jacob Grimm is back!
This one got me. Jennings gets something she’s never had and Grimm gets assigned some Army grunts to work with.
This one is the best yet! Pick this one up and you will not be disappointed!

Know Thy Enemies is a great story of a professional space Captain who firmly believes in Justice, Honor, and Courage no matter who you’re dealing with - even if it’s an enemy. Wonderful characters & plots. A rip roaring space adventure!

Progressing along nicely
Story is moving along with enough progress in each book to keep the reader entertained and eager for the next
A few issues with grammar and spelling e.g. through, when they meant threw, but overall better than most

in a sea of awful novels, this is a rare jewel of a book
This series is pretty much the best hard sci-fi I know of, and this latest book is no exception. Plenty of action and drama made this hard to put down and sad to finish.

Grimm keeps me up way past a reasonable bedtime. Each new voyage opens up many new opportunities for adventure, and the crew have some fascinating backstories that cry out for flesh and ink. Jacob Grimm sits beside Siobhan Dunmoore and Honor Harrington on my bookshelf.

Excellent Space Opera
Really enjoyed this book. Excellent continuation of the series, as it has reasonable tactics, no crazy, out-of-left-field stuff, a bit of romance, an idiot midshipman, and more.

An excellent saga...
Yes Grimm's War series is amazing. Some might consider it formulaic, but I have found it to have good character development and the characters are believable. I would recommend this whole series to any fan of sci-fi.

Delightful tale..
Another great addition to Grimm’s War. Great characters, ferocious battles, and intriguing story. It’s a continuation of the war, so start with book one. You will not be disappointed.

A very common topic but still a good tale, I'm glad the author turned down the praise the lord and pass the ammunition, hoorah a bit and the muslim bad, German very stoic yet Americans win the day cliches as well. Other than that an enjoyable read.

Enjoyed the continuation!
Enjoyed the growth of the characters but I thought the empire they faced was devalued in some was and contradictory. I enjoyed the tactical elements of both sides. Not sure where this is going though.

Solid read.
Good book. A few spelling errors and a spot towards the end where Chief Boudreaux is simultaneously flying the dropship and on the bridge, but over all, an excellent read.

I wasn't as into this one as the rest. In particular, the Midshipmen arc left me irritated. It's far-fetched to think someone would be so stupid as to desert without first finding out what the nearest planet holds – but three people? That's taking things too far.

Another Intrepid Book By Jeffrey Haskell
This is another exciting book about both the wonders of exploring space and space warfare. It is getting harder to put these books down. They are well worth reading. Enjoy,
