    Hard to believe but even as far in as book 7 this series just keeps getting better. The characters are strong and interesting and there are always new situations and twists. The authors make you feel the world they’re describing. I think that’s the magic. I’ll be there until the last book!

    I’m afraid of spoiling some part every time I want to leave a quick review. This book is a page turner. I was reading it every chance I got. Didn’t answer calls or messages while reading, just didn’t want to stop. I’m getting book 8 right after review is done. I highly recommend this series. I really just GOOD reading!

    Very well written and accessible to fans of military sci-fi. Lot's of inside baseball that former military will understand and appreciate. This series is clearly written by people that have also seen the wolf, yet don't treat it as a jingoistic diatribe. I also appreciated the subtle inclusion of topical references and the shout out to George Lucas (1138). The Only downside is just when things really got rolling, I now have to wait for the next book! Fair winds and a following sea.

    I'm a retired Navy Seabee and very proud of my service. It's really nice to find an author who in his storied mentions the Seabees.
    All the books In this series are wonderful and easy to read and follow along.
    And I'm a firm believer that there are in fact, aliens out there, some friendly and some not so friendly.

    I thoroughly enjoy everything written by this duo. From the ongoing character development through interaction with others and the increasingly detailed battle scenes I have a hard time putting the books down. The only disappointment I had with this particular series is that the Is solution for interaction with the enemy is a repeat of an earlier story theme.

    Good to hear about a new threat and to give the series something to go for but did the book have to start right in the middle of things? No warm up, no pre-event just thrown into the fire. Overall good fight scenes some more drawn out then others but keeps the reader busy.

    Rev continues his war earning respect from his platoon and maybe his superior officers. His unhindered thinking, tactics and fire power mean many lives are saved.

    Rev back to his old tricks. New aliens, new war, same person works it all out
    It's a good story, interesting development compared to the previous aliens and war, but does seem to be regurgitating a similar storyline to the centaurs war. Will be interesting to see if it does diverge to any extent

    Once again a great installment to the series. As I mentioned in a previous review, I was slow to warm up to this series as I didn’t understand the hype around it. But since the 4th book I’m all in. Books 1-3 were good and entertaining reads. Starting with book 4 it became truly engaging, political, action-packed with great character development.

    This book 7 adds to it and also introduces intriguing new aliens that promise to bring new epic winner-takes-it-all clashes. Rev advances as a character and slowly starts to realize his position among humanity.

    Highly recommended addition to the series and can’t wait to read book 8.
