Product Description

Product Description

Terrorists are creating a climate of fear on the planet Arrosa, and although no demands have been made, nor claims of credit taken for the attacks, the Prime Minister believes that the government of their neighboring planet, Selax, is solely responsible. As commander of the only Space Command base in that part of space, Captain Jenetta Carver is responsible for maintaining the peace, and the task of preventing a system-wide war falls squarely upon her shoulders. Since the dispatched diplomatic corps hasn't yet arrived at the base, she must resolve the disputes without their assistance. The people of the two planets share a common genus and ancestry, and Captain Carver manages to convince the two planetary governments to accept binding arbitration, but one party ingeniously stalls the talks for their own purposes.

Meanwhile, several Milora have been discovered in the company of an arms merchant's Tsgardi henchmen. The Milori, an ugly warlike race often compared more to cockroaches then humanoid life forms, come from a home planet well outside Galactic Alliance borders. There's an old saying in Space Command that, like cockroaches, if you see one Milora, there're probably a thousand more concealed nearby. And Jenetta knows that a thousand hostile warriors in GA space can only mean serious trouble is brewing. She immediately dispatches a ship to investigate an Intelligence Section report of Milori sightings near a planet in the GA's Frontier Zone.

The GSC destroyer Ottawa, following up on the lead, locates a task force of Milori warships exactly where reported, and the captain demands an explanation of their presence in GA space. The Milori respond with action rather than words, leaving little doubt about their intentions, and events begin spiraling out of control.

While perusing reviews on others in this series I came across one person's 2 star observations criticising Book One for a lack of sophistication, or for being insufficiently multifaceted (multidimesional?). Well, I'm just about to start the sixth in the series and have to say that yes; the stories do tend to run along a single path, they don't dive about in time or space too much and (horrors!) sometimes the outcomes can be anticipated. The lead character is sometimes a bit too good to be true - but she is nice and she keeps me thoroughly entertained...

I don't really care if it's not a complex plot - I can read Ian Banks for that - I am just happy to sit down with a relaxing SF book, several books in fact, that are damn good stories and that keep one (well me at least) absorbed from start to finish. Thomas DePrima has in own style that is different and appealing; I have every confidence that Book 6 will be as good as the previous five. Please keep them coming.

Space Opera 9 Feb 2011
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I'd forgotten how much I enjoyed Space Opera, possibly because there has been a tendency recently for each new writer try to make their works radically different. These books prove that it isn't necessary. I've read the first five in short order and enjoyed being immersed in a complete sci fi universe where I'm confident the good guys will stay the good guys and win out in the end. While I appreciate many other types of book I don't always want to have my expectations stretched to the limit and beyond. I don't always want each book to become progressively darker until I'm depressed by the thought of battling through to the end to discover what happens next. There are books that I reread for relaxation when my life outside literature is complicated and stressful. These are added to that collection

This is the last book available at present. The next two are Vroman Castle and Against All Odds let's hope they come out soon. Start at book 1, they are all great page turners.

Book 5 in a superb series
This book, together with the other six books so far published in this series, is a real "page-turner". Read more

A new direction for our Heroine
This book takes us off in a new direction with a new enemy. It is much like the last few books with more of a sub plot that the first few but still keeps up a good pace. Read more

Samey
Book 5 and it is getting a bit samey. Bit like EE Smith's Lensman series, where there is no chance the 'good' side will lose.

As per the other reviews in this series, for me, the story is one great big adventure that is well thought out, described and, within itself, very credible. Read more
