A confederation of planets on the verge of war…. A major star-ship fuel rich planet with a major star-ship fuel processing plant, and orbiting transfer station….. No defenses but a couple weak lasers, and one small refinery town with one company of marines!
Who thinks that is not likely?!?!?!
I am not worrying about spoilers because the author did that already! The whole first part of the book is so pathetic I am getting a refund at chapter 9! The confederacy, the Union, the federation, the storm troopers, a German engineer woman named Fritz portrayed in a voice like a man! ROTFLOL!!! Ship names like the Dauntless, and many other copied names, so many I think the author did not have an original thought!
Bomb pumped lasers taking out ships from a battle platform, okay, that works except it was hiding behind a moon!!!!! ROTFLOL!!!! YEA, THAT’S THE TICKET!!! THE LASERS TRAVELED THROUGH THE MOON BEFORE TAKING OUT THE SHIPS!!!!
Conclusion, if you have any knowledge of space battle, tactical defensive strategy, and any desire for something original, DON’T GET THIS BOOK!!!
P.S. The reader reads so slow I had to speed up to 1.2. His voice is incapable of doing woman’s voices! I could not tell when the reader went from one caricature to the next. The reading was droning on so badly I was drifting away in my own thoughts half the time. I’m surprised I was paying enough attention to catch all the totally stupid plot failures!
