Ships of the Line (The Last Hunter Book 9) Kindle Edition

by J.N. Chaney (Author), Terry Mixon (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.6 out of 5 stars 2,457 ratings
Victory belongs to the strong and cunning warrior.

Admiral Jack Romanoff and his crew have turned two enemies against one another via misdirection and timing. That gives them the breathing room to get back to their feet, but as any savvy commander knows, the footing on any battlefield is treacherous. One misstep could cost a warrior everything.

Blood is the only coin that can buy victory.

With things falling apart in the Confederation proper, the future looks grim. All that can change for the worse in an instant, and only vigilance and courage can stop the enemies of humanity from extinguishing the flickering candle of the human species. Backed into a corner, he will pay the price for victory.

Let whoever wants to die first test their resolve.

From the Publisher

The Last Hunter Series Banner

They said the war was over. They were wrong.

When an aging battleship is brought back online, so is its former commander—and he’s about to prove he’s not out of the fight.

The Last Hunter is a pulse-pounding space opera from J.N. Chaney and Terry Mixon that fans are calling “fast, fun, and impossible to put down.”

    As a big fan of Chaney and Mixon I really shouldn't be surprised how good this book is. I've been waiting somewhat impatiently for it and it definitely didn't disappoint. The characters and storyline are so easy to love and get into that it seems like you're there fighting beside them. Personally I love the Patrick character and the odd relationship with Lisa but all are great. I'll admit getting choked up in places like the distribution of promotions. Fantastic read and if you haven't read any Chaney this is a great series to start. All you LMBPN fans out there give these a shot you won't be disappointed. The Sentenced to War, Backyard Starship, Messenger, and Uplink Squadron are all excellent and thank goodness the release dates are spread around to always have a good book to read. But they're all so good you get sucked in and end up reading them in a day or two and craving more. I've rambled enough so.... Thanks for what you do. It really does make a difference in someone's lives. It sure does in mine.

    Admiral Jack Romanoff is battling three different adversaries! The Poseidon Group pulled off a coup on the other side of the cluster. That problem has to wait. There are two separate alien races trying to take over the cluster who had superior technology. But Admiral Romanoff supports his people and listens to them. He encourages his people to look at problems and find solutions. He has some of the best brain trusts in the cluster who are always looking to improve their situation. Also having Patrick the Spy/Assassin from a third alien species willing to help a few of the brain trusts especially, Lisa, with advanced weaponry, stealth ability, manufacturing, and computer skills that include learning while sleeping technology. Doing all this while still dealing with politicians with their own agenda/greed. Can’t wait for the climactic conclusion in the final book 10 on the series!!!

    Selfishness in the face of anililation is unreasonable, even from politicions. But Jack has to face that while still trying to stay abrest of two different invading forces.
    Patrick is still an enigma. But he is leaving powerful gifts to help them to arm themselves against the ever mounting list of enemies.

    Time and circumstances join together to give our team a needed break to achieve victory. For the moment.

    Admiral Romanov and his various teams, have busily aligned all their ducks in a row for the coming grand final of this series. In this book, the authors have managed to maintain both our full attention and our sense of awe by invoking ingenious possibilities that ought to secure the ultimate victory of our heroes. I particularly enjoyed this 9th book.

    Brilliant continuation of the battle to save humanity. More tech is found and tested, more aliens are descending on the home planet, more. Battle ships are doing what they do best. It’s a tense action packed story.

    The majority of the book is about the rebuilding and restructuring of the military and the reorganisation of the government body, in fact nothing battle wise occurs until the very end of the book
    A number of pleasant surprises for the admiral for once and things do appear to be improving for themselves all overall, but as ever there has to be a downside at some point
    Lisa is the star of this book, along with the professor and the whole over ridding premise is that things in their area is improving whilst everything around them needs their solutions
    Oh and as an aside, another Ramanoff turns up
