Hidden Enemies (Book 9 of The Empire of Bones Saga) Kindle Edition

4.5 out of 5 stars 1,218 ratings

Trapped between murderous xenophobes and calculating artificial intelligences, an interstellar war threatens to wash Princess Kelsey Bandar away in a tide of blood.

With her most powerful ship crippled, only a desperate mission to steal what she needs right out from under the noses of her enemies offers a way to get her people safely home.

As if that wasn’t hard enough, success requires her foes never learn of her existence and therein lies the problem. Few have ever accused Kelsey Bandar of subtlety.

If you love military science fiction and grand adventure on a galaxy-spanning scale, grab “Hidden Enemies” and the rest of The Empire of Bones Saga today!

Review

"Hidden Enemies is an exciting, fast-paced military sci-fi tale that effectively advances the saga. It has well-developed characters, an entertaining storyline, and a satisfying ending that includes a lead-in for the next book. Looking forward to the new adventure!"

Another great read, Kelsey kicks Ass again!!
Terry Keeps getting better and better at writing,Epmire of Bones will away be on my Favorite list! I have read the whole series 5 times from start to finish. I felt that this story was more about interpersonal relationships and stealing a Flip-drive to fix their Carrier and the trouble Kelsey gets into LOL. Poor Russel Talbot he is going to be grey before his time!! Quite a lot of surprises along the way.

    Another great book in the Empire of Bones series. We once again see Princess Kelsey with her marine raider implants that she can't stay out of fights. What she hoped to have been a simple raid to steal and new flip drive for her carrier, has we should have expected goes a little off course. But a few surprises are also there for her, which may turn out for the best. Looking forward to reading the next book.

    Princess Kelsey has marine raider implants and is the toughest petite little lady you can meet. The problem is that the princess can't stay out of fights, often seemed to be in situations where she should lose. With the help of her crew of odd balls, ex enemies, and super nerd genius types she usually scraped though. Exciting as all get out.

    This story follows the trend of Mr. Mixon's previous works and therefore is pretty good. The downside to that is that the story and its points have become predictable. We know they will make a daring rescue/heist/raid and that multiple "unforeseen" obstacles will arise for them to overcome. Ultimately this is more of the same adventure, but it starts to feel stale.

    My other issue is the first quarter to half of the book. Without spoiling things there is a trek that takes place and ends up serving no point other than taking up pages and extending the book. That is just lazy writing and I would expect better.

    I'm still looking forward to the next book, but I'm hoping for something less "by the numbers"

    I enjoyed this story. It has the real Kelsey in it. Although I like the other one too. She gets to show off her Marine Raider enhancements again to some of the Pandora aliens.

    I felt that the main action here was a heist plot to steal things they needed from a Rebel Empire Fleet station.

    There are complications and surprises. Of course.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Spannende Fortsetzung der Serie
    Reviewed in Germany on September 16, 2018
    Diese Fortsetzung der Serie hat mir sehr gut gefallen. Ich fand sie sehr spannend und abwechslungsreich. Die Abenteuer konzentrieren sich dieses Mal ganz auf Princess Kelsey, die aus Folge 7 in einem unbekannten Sonnensystem mit defektem Flip Drive gestrandet ist. In einem riskanten Unternehmen versucht sie einen neuen Flip Drive zu stehlen. Bin schon sehr gespannt auf die weiteren Fortsetzungen.

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 28, 2018
    More like a chapter installment than a full novel\volume on its own. Also, didn't like that it essentially became another 'heist' chapter, whilst leaving a more interesting storyline (the new planet).
