Grimm's War #3
One Decisive Victory: A Military Sci-Fi Series
The Alliance needs to strike back, but the politicians are cowards. Admiral Wit DeBeck has a simple three step plan to punch the Caliphate right in the nose and send a clear message.
Step 1: Kick Lieutenant Jacob T. Grimm out of the navy and have him steal his own ship.
Step 2: Infiltrate Caliphate space and mount a rescue mission on their slave distribution hub.
Step 3: Get out alive.
The only ship that can do it, has the only captain with nothing to lose. The Caliphate struck first, but Jacob is going to strike hardest.
Between stealing his own ship, Zuckabar separatists, and rogue pirates, the Interceptor has a gravcoil full of trouble before they even enter hostile space.
However, there’s a problem in orbit that Jacob doesn’t know about. Even if they can rescue the slaves, they may never leave the system.
If Jacob can’t find a way to succeed, then the Alliance is headed for a war they can’t win, and all of humanity will pay the price.

DNF at about 25%. Instead of getting better - more thoughtful and/or sophisticated - dumbs things down even further, to what seems like a 50-yr-old white guy’s wish fulfillment fantasy. Grimm - despite being a lieutenant commander or some such, is the ONLY one that can GET THE JOB DONE. He’s the perfect captain, and his crew to a man (and woman) loves him. The Caliphate is undisguised Muslim evilness, chock-full of slavers (especially of nubile women) and suicidal nuclear bomb murderers. Lots of royalty lovin’ too - the Iron Empire is governed by an emperor, the sons and daughters of which are of course incredibly competent leaders devoted to their subjects. Oh, and we meet Grimm’s father - he’s a simple farmer, and therefore a real salt of the earth type (“the only people that work harder than the military are the farmers and ranchers”) - which is a good segue to the corporate Guild, which is comprised of bankers and other corporate types, and therefore evil. Congress / politicians can’t be trusted to do the right thing either - despite the unprovoked nuclear utter destruction of the republic’s capital city (and millions of inhabitants) in the prior book the (mostly replacement) members of Congress will do / authorize nothing … because “Congress of full of cowards”; leaving it up to military leaders (heroic Ollie North, doing what has to be done) to sanction a black box operation sending Grimm (only he can save us!) and the crew of the intrepid, or invincible, or whatever it is off to assault a Caliphate base in retaliation. “You’ve got to poke the bully in the eye.”

ONE DECISIVE VICTORY by Jeffrey H. Haskell is the third volume of the Grimm's War series. I was really impressed with the first two books as it established a realistic military science fiction universe. The Alliance (America), the Iron Empire (Russia), the Caliphate (Afghanistan/Saudi Arabia), the Guild (the military industrial complex), and other groups that make for a consistent but interesting setting.
The premise is Jacob Grimm is manly but sensitive captain who ever man wants to be while every woman wants to be under (because they're naval officers). He was disgraced due to the Caliphate sending children to fight him and has since irritated by his superiors by repeatedly saving the day against horrifying odds. I love this kind of character and think it only gets more entertaining.
One element I don't quite believe is the fact the Alliance doesn't go to war with the Caliphate after they blow up their capital. This part is stretched and unbelievable since I expected there would be a massive public outcry to destroy the Caliphate, whether it was a good idea or not. It didn't ruin the book for me but I was really surprised the author chose not to jump directly into a full-scale war.
Here, the Princess of the Iron Empire has been kidnapped by the Caliphate in a provocative move that pretty much highlights they think they can get away with anything. Which turns out to be true as they nuked the capital of the Alliance but have successfully convinced the majority of people that it was the Guild's doing. Honestly, I really would have been okay with this but it doesn't seem like the Guild is getting nuked like they deserved either (both the Caliphate and Guild are awful).
As usual, Jacob Grimm has been recruited to be the sacrificial scapegoat by the government to launch a "renegade" attack on the Caliphate in revenge. This will result in him being given a life sentence when it's done but he's willing to do it. He's just that self-sacrificing. Their target? The slaving center for the Caliphate. Which is good because I am glad to see them strike out after the Caliphate has been attacking with impunity for some time.
As usual, it's full of action, intrigue, twists, and turns. I liked the twists and turns as we get more information on the Iron Empire as well as the interior of the Caliphate. The latter don't become more sympathetic but we do get the acknowlegement not all of them are complete scum. I heartily recommend it.

WHAT'S ONE DECISIVE VICTORY ABOUT?
After the calamitous events at the end of With Grimm Resolve, the Alliance Navy is raring to strike back, but the government has another plan. The last thing they want is another war—they're still torn over the last one, and they'll snatch any excuse to avoid the next.
Naval Intelligence's Admiral DeBeck can't believe this and can't stand it. He knows he can't do anything. But he has a plan that centers on Lt. Commander Jacob Grimm, but Grimm's going to have to be sacrificed for it to work.
The Caliphate has struck a massive blow to the Alliance and they need to respond or DeBeck (and most of the Navy) is convinced that they'll be emboldened to attack again and again—until it's too late for the Alliance to effectively defend itself.
So they're going to follow through on the plan to dismiss Grimm from the Navy when the Interceptor is taken out of service. Then Grimm is supposed to steal his former ship, head to Caliphate space, free a bunch of their slaves and wreak havoc on the planet that serves as the center of their slave trade. Then he'll come home and spend the rest of his life in military prison.
It's a plan so crazy that it just might work. Or it'll go down in history as one of the dumbest things humans have tried. If it's the latter, it's good that only a handful of people will know about it.
ITS PLACE IN THE SERIES
I talked about this with the last book, too, but I think I need to touch on it again.
So this is definitely the end of a trilogy—Haskell might have had an idea for a fourth book by this time, but it's clearly the end of something. Yes, there's a way for more stories to be told featuring at least some of these characters—I knew that had to be the case going in. But Haskell writes this in a way that you can't take for granted that anyone is going to survive this book. You can't guess how successful this mission is going to be until the closing pages.
This is a hallmark and a strength of the series so far—even coming to it when I did, with multiple books released/scheduled to be released, not knowing just how safe any character would be (arguably with the exception of the title character, but I don't know that you can count on that).
SO, WHAT DID I THINK ABOUT ONE DECISIVE VICTORY?
Ooh boy, this is about as action-packed as you can ask for. Not that the previous volumes were think-pieces. But One Decisive Victory is able to build on the work already done in establishing the world and doesn't need a whole lot of new work to set up this novel. Once that little work is done, the brakes come off and it's all action.
There's a lot of good character work in the middle of it all—I'd argue it's the best character work he's done in the series—but this is about things happening. Grimm and the Interceptor have their work cut out for them and we don't need to waste time with much else.
The novel was fast, the action was furious, and the story did exactly what you want. I was on the edge of my seat for almost the entire novel and I loved it. I did think the closing pages came close to being cheesy—but Haskell avoided it, and at this point, he's earned a bit of cheese anyway.
This was a satisfying conclusion to the trilogy, and the fact it's become a longer-running series is nothing but a positive. Jump on board.

Completely and utterly irrational, illogical, nonsensical and senseless.
Even though none of the crew or main characters are trained in covert/spy operations, except Nadia (and she gets captured, tortured and enslaved at every mission), the author writes that Jacob and his Navy crew are to steal their old ship, go to one of the theocracy's slavery management planets and set the slaves free??? Why didn't they just leave the Navy and "acquired" a "pirate vessel" to "free the slaves"??? Why "free the slaves" if the Alliance as a whole can't even protect their cities, much less "freed slaves" from all over this "multiverse"?? If the crew doesn't even have enough supplies (food, etc.) for the crew, what are they going to feed the thousands of "freed slaves" if they succeed at freeing them?? Where are they going to take the freed slaves??? How are they going to manage all the freed slaves??? The moment Jacob returns to the Alliance he will be court-marshalled and jailed for the rest of his life.
Have I convinced you yet, that the author is out of his mind in this third book of this irrational, illogical, nonsensical and senseless book series??? Where is the honor, the officer's code of conduct?? the virtues, ethical values??? When has it been okay to steal a whole ship, supplies, to free foreigners from slavery, without orders, without rhyme or reason?
I do not recommend this book or the series.

Congress refuses to act. Captain Grimm is placed in an impossible position by ONI - go rogue & complete an unsanctioned mission to stop the war. It’s a good thing his Marines can do three impossible things before breakfast!

2.5/5
The editing for this book is worse than the first 2, with a few noticeable errors.
While the majority of this series is pretty run of the mill, I think Jeffery does a decent job of providing a somewhat unique geographical layout for the star nations present in the book. Our main focus is the alliance. Who "borders" the Consortium. There are 900 light years between the two nations, but there is a wormhole (the only one of its kind so far) that connects them. And with war between the Consortium and the BG (bad guy) faction looming, it provides an interesting political topic... if the alliance should help the Consortium or leave them to their fate.
What I despise, though, is the horrific portrayal of Muslims and Islam in general. It would have been so easy to create a fictional faction with all the same terrible tendencies shown in this book and not have them be Muslim. I'll also point out that the main character is very obviously supposed to be Catholic/Christian. Of course, come to your own conclusions, but I really think it's time to move on from this "good guy Christian, bad guy Muslim" ...agenda? It's been far too prevalent in recent series I've found.

The premise for this book is a major stretch, involving mutiny and grand theft military starship in an effort to stop an invasion. Like you do.
But if you can get past that, it's great fun to read.
There's heroism and willing sacrifice, solid character work, a propulsive plot, and a memorable ending.
Recommended.

Goofy, with some eye rolling prose, but fun story. No gray areas here - the good guys are all saints and the bad guys are all monsters. Listened to the Audible version.

Good follow on. Less stereo typing and more on plots and story. Plenty of action events in many scenarios so kept things interesting and moving.

Four-stars (actually 3.5). This story flows quite well, there's plenty of action, drama and subterfuge. Off course all ends well, a little too well if you ask me - Grimm seems to lack any faults and failings - everything wrong was done to him by the Navy and media. Which detracts quite a bit, it makes him into a pseudo Messiah-of-the-navy type of character and that is quite a let down, as although he is the protagonist, he isn't anywhere near the most interesting character. Staying with characters, Nadia shows, once again, to be utterly useless. She has no actual role to play except the tragic love interest of Grimm, does she help from time to time? Yes. But that it too few and far between. She's unlikeable, and to be frank, Jennings would have made for a better love interest for Grimm.
My rating is this because of the story and hitting back against the Caliphate. There's, as usual, quite the tragedy in the pages. The story continues to show the hubris of certain political ideologies that seem to be the norm in most governments the world over currently. Weakness is inherent and when the time comes to fight - well, it doesn't go well.

Enjoyed the book. I enjoy stories with a main character who is worthy of admiration. In this case Captain (Lt. Commander Grimm) fits the bill.

I’m a sucker for Hornblower type stories no matter the milieu and this series certainly hits the spot.
It’s fast paced and I enjoy the characters even if they do not stray from the typical heroic military stereotypes.
The ending does feel a bit abrupt and I would have docked half a star if I was not aware that book 4 is coming.

It’s not over!
I can’t get enough of this series. I love that there are strong female leads in here. Captain Grimm saves the day again but don’t think for a moment that is a spoiler. It’s HOW he does it that makes this a good read.
I sincerely hope Jeffrey Haskell continues to write in the Grimmverse.
I highly recommend this book and series.

Another gripping story from the Grimm's War series that takes you into the life of a naval captain who's come to terms with his destiny to the Alliance navy, his crew and to those who mean everything to him.

This is a good ending of the Jacob Grimm story. It is nice that he gets the girl and the chance to go home.

a Hidden twist in the tail’s end
As I’ve the 2 previous books, Book 3 certainly delivered. As I was reading, I wasn’t sure I knew who would came out victorious. Certainly enjoyed it. Fast paced, and had me on the edge of my seat as I read thru. Please with the outcome. Keep up the Good Work!

Just plain bad! The first two books in this series are not good, but not this bad. There is nothing redeeming about this one. It's cotton candy for low brow knuckle draggers. Everything and everyone is absurdly one dimensional and ridiculously black and white. The "good guys" are all perfect and the "bad guys" are truly evil. Except the good guys decide to go off half cocked and commit multiple crimes and war crimes for the greater good. Pure juvenile fantasy garbage.
In addition to the terrible story the writer tries to tell us how sensitive, human and caring our main characters are but it's all tell and no show and done in an over-the-top clumsy ham-fisted way that makes it creepy un unbelievable as well as lazy and cliche.
Even skipping ahead trying to get past the fluff and beating of the dead horses to make the same points over and over I couldn't get to anything of substance to make this book entertaining enough to finish. It's just bad!

The final book in the trilogy is good, but not quite as great as books one or two were. It's also shorter, giving us less time with Commander Jacob Grimm, Yuki, Jennings, and all the rest. It feels like the book was rushed, as there were more than a few editing errors in this book compared to the previous two.
The best news is at the end of the book, where we find out that not only will we get a book on Jennings backstory when she's a noob marine just out of training, and we get more Jacob Grimm as well.
Because the book is so short I'm not going to recap the plot. I thought it was obvious where they were going (remember the starlanes from when they found Wonderland?), but how they do it is interesting.
Despite the slight letdown with book three, I still enjoyed it. Recommended. 5/5*

Another awsome entry in the ( GRIMM'S WAR SERIES). There is no doubt from the first sentence of the book to the last word in the book, what the outcome will be; no false cliff hanger moments of possible defeat The Author lets his heroes be heroes snd his villans be nasty , prideful disgusting people that need to be defeated and eliminated lots o detailed action with a little romance suitable for twelve years old or older. A very enjoyable read though the author does tend to ramble a little more than in the previous books of the series. Well on to the next book in the series!!

Good story, worth the time to read. Last bookbis a pre-order at this time.

Love this series
Once again we find L/C Grimm facing more problems. The Alliance Navy need to respond to the attack. But find the new government unable to decide who to blame. Grimm gets asked to carry out a very black mission, which places himself in danger. But can he once again find the right cards when the deck is stacked against him.

He'll of a story
Dam good follow up . Worth the time . Continued the story well. Enjoyable read. And has decent editing , very few errors. That has become a pet peeve of mine lately. With the books I've read from this author so far. You don't waste time reconstructing the sentence so that it makes sense .

9/10: Fantastic, left me wanting more.
If there’s one thing Commander Jacob Grimm has in spades, it’s his sense of duty.
These books aren't coming out fast enough! ;)
