Story5 out of 5 stars 13
Now, spreading among the new worlds of the Unseen gates, Dash and his people are building new lives, free of war and destruction. Until one of the former Unseen planets shifts in orbit - a small thing, but worth looking into. Close to this erratic world, something incredible opens, revealing a connection to stars so distant that they have no name on the Cygnus charts.

It feels like a familiar story to me. To me its a mix between many space opera, such as Macros Frontier, Polity Universe and Battlestar Galactica.

Feels like Friday
Reviewed: 18-09-2021
I could not help but think of my favourite Heinlein story 'Friday' while I was listening to it. Throughout the story I found myself tense with anticipation of what was happening next even though you could reasonably predict the direction things were heading. I found it very enjoyable to switch off to.

The movie Starship Troopers meets Old Mans War, The Forever War and Independence Day, with a spot of the Polity universe thrown in for good measure. Well narrated and enjoyed listening to it.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 44
Jain was the lieutenant commander of an elite SEAL team. He was accustomed to order and discipline, which he used to give the men under his command that particular brand of killer instinct his unit was known for.But one day that semi-comfortable, ordered life ended when he opened his eyes to find his body replaced by a starship. His mind had become its AI core. He is somewhere in deep space. Most of his systems are badly damaged. He has no memory of how he got here, or what his mission is. Evidence points to an attack by an unknown entity.

Meh....it's not one of the greats yet...
Reviewed: 02-07-2020
I feel like it is 'just another story', that lacks luster. The characters are not really developed, there is no spunky wit and the concept of human consciousness in a machine could be broadened. Paul Heitsch does a great job narrating, but the story is missing the 'whats happening next' tension.

After saving the world many times, the Merry Band of Pirates have accepted the inevitable: Earth is doomed. All they can do is try to bring a few thousand people to safety, before vicious aliens arrive to destroy humanity's home world. No. There is one other thing they can do: hit the enemy so hard that the aliens will regret they ever heard of humans.

A truly terrible ending
Reviewed: 16-02-2020
It leaves you with the questions if the authors ego is reflected in the magnificent skippy....seriously what made you think that ending a book in a series like this was a good idea? I feel like a chum being 'forced' to buy the next book, rather than having the option to see the how the story continues.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 663
Space travel just isn't what it used to be. With the invention of quantum teleportation, space heroes aren't needed anymore. When one particularly unlucky ex-adventurer masquerades as famous pilot and hate figure Jacques McKeown, he's sucked into an ever-deepening corporate and political intrigue. Between space pirates, adorable deadly creatures, and a missing fortune in royalties, saving the universe was never this difficult!

I agree with a previous review where it was suggested the story was in the same spirit as Adams and Pratchett. You can sometimes guess the plot, but when it happens you enjoy the little revaluations and the characters response to it.

Rumors have swirled around about the demise of the ConFed for as long as Jason Burke had been in space, a lone human among countless alien species. He largely ignored them...until now. For the first time since any of the members of Omega Force can remember, someone may have figured out how to destroy the ConFed without directly engaging its powerful military. As one crewmember's past seems connected to the current trouble, Jason must decide what side of the fight he's on....

Regular Omega Force readers will get their predictable fix. I found it entertaining, with some nice twists in the story and some concepts creeping in from other Dalzelle books.

No skill is more important in today's world than being able to think about, understand, and act on information in an effective and responsible way. What's more, at no point in human history have we had access to so much information, with such relative ease, as we do in the 21st century. But because misinformation out there has increased as well, critical thinking is more important than ever. These 24 rewarding lectures equip you with the knowledge and techniques you need to become a savvier, sharper critical thinker in your professional and personal life.

These lectures should be mandatory for everyone. For me, it resolved some cognitive dissonance I experienced observing the world around me.
