Wings of Earth: 7 - Hope Dies Hard: A Smart Space Opera Series Kindle Edition

by Eric Michael Craig (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.7 out of 5 stars 207 ratings
A ruthless enemy… A desperate plea for help.

Captain Ethan Walker is learning to accept the reality of his new life as a fugitive renegade. When an unexpected message arrives at their NuProvidence base, it plunges the crew of the Olympus Dawn into a dangerous showdown with a mysterious government group known only as The Management.

The merciless leader of this secret agency will stop at absolutely nothing to shut down Ethan and his followers. She’s willing to step well outside the law… even going as far as abducting innocent people to achieve her goals.

After The Management kidnaps their loved ones, she threatens Walker with an ultimatum: If you ever want to see your families again, you will surrender your ship and crew. Left with no choice, Captain Walker knows their only hope is to risk the impossible to rescue them. Alone, they must break into Dziban, the most dangerous prison in all of known space.

And then, somehow, get back out.

You should grab the next exciting installment of Wings of Earth now and find out exactly why - Hope Dies Hard! And while you are at it grab the previous books in the series, too.

Eric Michael Craig is a Science Fiction author living in the Manzano Mountains of New Mexico. It has been said that Eric writes "intelligent science fiction" where the characters and story come first, and a believable science foundation provides the backdrop to the action. Before he retired from the corporate world, Eric was the Director of Research for a private consulting laboratory where he learned how to explain science in ways that could be understood even by those who weren't technically oriented.

When not writing, Eric plays guitar and bass and occasionally dabbles in art of various forms.

He also owns way too many dogs, and as a result, is often involved in heroic battles with mountains of dog hair.

    5.0 out of 5 stars This series must be taken as a single comprehensive work

    Well, I enjoyed that immensely!
    First there is the ***Spoiler Deleted***
    And then ***Spoiler Deleted***
    I still don’t consider this ‘hard science fiction’ if for no other reason than ***Spoiler Deleted***
    While the mere scale of these works seem to rival TLOTR et al, it is not nearly as dark and is significantly less disturbing ( as it is read ). There is much to be said for a light hearted story-teller that inserts comedic relief into the narrative. It is no less fantastical considering the ***Spoiler Deleted***
    Most other endless book-series that sustain themselves on repetitive cliff-hanger-serialism are really quite grim as there is no resolution and no escape. Unlike ***Spoiler Deleted***
    I also strongly approve of this return to ‘nearly’ faultless editing and punctuation!
    It is clear that there was/is an extensive group of supporters and beta readers involved, here.
    Best of all it ends on a ***Spoiler Deleted***

    5.0 out of 5 stars High tech hard sci fi at its finest
    Reviewed in the United States on July 29, 2020

    Author Eric Michael Craig has done it again. In the continuing escapades of Captain Ethan Walker and the crew of the Olympus Dawn, I once again found myself struggling to put the book down and stayed up way too late to finish. My only complaint is having to wait for the next book to see how the resourceful captain and crew can survive in the universe the author has created. It's expansive, creative, filled with rivalries and factions, and high tech weapons, propulsion, and other sophisticated applied-physics gadgets that never fail to amaze. This is book seven in the Wings of Earth series. Keep 'em coming--this level of entertainment is worth bleary eyes and sleep deprivation. Highly recommended!

    4.0 out of 5 stars Neat Twist!

    This book picks up a bit after the last, but almost immediately there's a twist....Captain Ethan Walker finds himself changing from simple freighter captain to fugitive renegade. He's gradually learning how to use his new tech and the new tech that's been installed into his ship.

    Turns out there's a government agency out there that is NOT a fan of this, however. She kidnaps Walker's crew and family and demands he either turn himself over or she'll kill them all.

    Another excellent book in the series, again fleshing out the universe the author has constructed a bit more. Perhaps a bit darker than before, but still very recommended.

    Just finished reading this series and was hooked from the first book. This is one of the best series I have had the pleasure of reading it is full of action and suspense.If you like action packed science fiction then you must read this series the author writes so well that you feel you know the characters in the story so well like they are family and friends. I hope that there is more in the series coming.

    I love syfy books, especially series! Ethan, Ammo, Rene, Quin, Nuko fight an unknown government agency while trying to save different people! They are different people too. They care for all! They fly thru space in their freighter saving people! They make friends with a space pirate! I know I explained the series badly, but trust me a great series!! You will enjoy it! I am sad the series has ended!
