Thanks to being part of the Ace/ROC street team, Ive been reading more Science Fiction, and enjoying the great selections they are sending. Inherit the Stars by Tony Peak was another excellent read.

From the last paragraph in the description it makes it sound like this is more of a romance then space adventure. While there is some romantic elements, to me this was more of a fast-paced space adventure with lots of side plots and back stabbing. And I was eagerly turning the page to find out what would happen next.

At first I got a bit of an Indiana Jones adventure vibe mixed with Firefly. Kivita reminded me a bit of Jane from the TV show. Then it turned into an epic space odyssey with a bit of Mad Max thrown in when we met the pirates.

I feel as if I write too much it would give away various parts of the plot. I want this review to go on and on, to let you know how awesome the book is, and that you need to read it.

Instead Ill just say; Go get yourself a copy, take a couple of days off from work, and enjoy this awesome Sci-Fi novel.

This book follows after The Rho Agenda series but can also be read as a standalone (historic events are effectively interwoven into the current story line without repeating too much, but I bet after reading this youll go back to the first series!).

I was very glad when Book One of the new series was released. The previous series ended on a slightly sad note with the hope that maybe, just maybe Jennifer managed to survive that wormhole trip.

This book didn't disappoint. The multiple characters can be complex and the shifting between different scenes and characters stories may be disorientating for some, but it actually added to the suspense and kept me reading faster to learn what happens next. The story focused more in detail on Jennifers journey and growth, but less so on Mark and Heather. None the less youll get a great understanding of the extend of the conspiracy on earth, all the personal agendas of the key players, as well as where Jack gets his powers from.

Expect a good dose of science fiction, the galaxy and new interesting extraterrestrial worlds. And don't miss the physical/military and cyber action and warfare  (spoiler alert!) a few close calls and potential deaths will have you stressed out.

A great book indeed! Cannot wait for the next instalment.

An epic adventure set in space, with a brilliant cast of characters and unique settings. This book was highly entertaining and enjoyable. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone looking for an exciting science fiction adventure story. The author does a phenomenal job introducing her world and crafting her characters in this first book in her series, and I am confident the rest of the series will be similarly entertaining.

I absolutely love this book!  I am a huge sci-fi/fantasy geek and have read hundreds of books in this category.  I am only about 25% finished and I can already say with 100% surety that this is my favorite space novel.  I literally do not want the d@mn thing to end!! It has a great mix of action, character development, and love/lust to make for a fantastic read.  If you have even a passing interest in sci-fi/space stories, do yourself a favor and pick this one up.  I started reading Mr. Brown's book Fimbulwinter, and although it's quite good, this one is much better IMHO.  This is a huge switch for me, as I'm usually drawn to the fantasy vs. space/sci-fi genre.

Thanks to the author for creating this fantastic story and EPIC alternate universe (or is it??? :*).

Cheers,

E

Eric Olafson, Space Pirate is not the kind of book you can finish in a day. It took me a while to get into the story and the myriad of characters but -to my pleasure and surprise- I have to admit that this is exactly what makes this book so fascinating. After the first few chapters (what it takes to  get acclimated to the futuristic environment) you are literally teleported into a universe of mystery, adventure and non-stop action.

Vanessa Ravencroft has a spectacular imaginary world inside her own head and Eric Olafson, Space Pirate takes you right there where adventure, action and excellent characters reside.
First in a series, this book could be read as a stand-alone...but if you're curious about the future (literally) just keep an eye on Vanessa Ravencroft.

*This book was kindly sent to me by Inkitt in exchange for an honest review*

I thoroughly enjoyed this book! The characters are real, likable, and well drawn. The plot makes sense and really moves along, especially in the last half. And the near future science is very thoroughly researched, I know because I kept checking. I love to learn something as I read a book, and I certainly did here. As a big mystery fan, with a long interest in sci fi, this book was a treat. I'm looking forward to what Nick d'Arbeloff has to offer us next.

Fun, fast paced space adventure. Brian Anderson's life on Earth has been plagued with misfortune and Alien torments, rescued from an abduction ship by Space Pirates, a fun and colorful crew of humans and hybrids, he embarks on a new life with a new purpose. The book is jam packed with adventure, it's smart and "real", author David J Barron doesn't sugar coat anything nor does he write down to the reader. Jump in and fall in love with T'Shaal, Prinn, Kathra, and Arisa as they fight for right's of humanity in a cruel interdimensional universe.

Super interesting, great suspense, cool characters. I highly recommend this book.  The book was incredibly well researched for likely future technologies and scenarios. For example a moon base is the most likely next big thing humans will do in space and is likely to be executed just like it is in the book such as positioning at the south pole, electric powered mass launchers etc. Tell your friends to read this book!

I was lucky enough to pick this book up for free and what a fun read it was!  One part Star Wars, a dash of Wizard of Oz, a large dollop of Hitchhiker, a pinch of Fifth Element, just a taste of Star Trek, all mixed well with a brilliant imagination and you have one whale of a good space adventure!  I'm looking forward to their continuing escapades as the series rolls on.

I really enjoyed reading this book. It is packed full of suspense and the setting of space travel was intriguing. I could of done without the cursing as there must be another way such an imagineative writer could express the horrid the character was feeling.

Glow is a gripping, claustrophobic story that didn't let me go until I closed the back cover, and even then, it didn't let me go! On the surface, the book may just look like a space adventure story, but underneath that surface, there is so much more. Within these pages, I found morals about God, life, love, trust, and many others. One thing I love about Glow is that you never know who you can trust. Everyone in the book has a dark side, and I love it!

Don't be fooled by the bright cover: Glow is a dark and mysterious venture into the galaxy, filled with action, adventure and turmoil! I highly recommend the ride.

What a great adventure!!  Zooming through the galaxy, chased by nasty naval types, political intrigue, meeting aliens, spending time visiting then escaping from wonderfully bizzare planets, and all written in a way that even I can understand - ie not too heavy on the science!!  I've already started to read the second book, and will read the others too.  Shear beautiful escapism!!  What used to be called a "ripping yarn".  Thank you Hugh.  So far, I haven't been disappointed in any of your books.

As a reader of hundreds of sci fi space stories, Nick Webb did a wonderful story here. A little bit of everything required to satisfy me as space science fiction, but yet giving it an actual human emotions, feelings, and thoughts.  I couldn't read it fast enough. Anxiously waiting for book two!

Wow! This book really surprised me with how much I liked it! I recently have gotten interested in Star Wars and Star Trek, so I was super up for the space vibe that this book was about. I thought it was a unique plot and the addition of the robot sidekick was something that I found myself loving! The character development of the robot in the book (I know I am calling him the robot, but he has a name) was what blew this book out of the water for me in terms of emotion and interest.
