Star Crusader Tides of War eBook Michael G Thomas Reviews

• British author Michael G Thomas brings to his many novels a rich background in IT, AI, computer technology, and ancient history, and these facets all weave together seamlessly in this new science fiction story.
  
  Wisely, the novel opens with a brief history of the Alliance ‘The Centauri Rim crisis quickly escalated following the defeat of Commander Mordecai of the Rising Sun and her band of revolutionaries. Fearing the area would become a haven for more pirates, corsairs, arms smugglers, Separatists, Unionist rebels, and Carthago revolutionaries it was only a matter of time before firm action would be taken. The first three weeks of the Alliance invasion saw significant territorial gains, but few military engagements. Each advance saw the rebels fade into the protection of the Rim, a vast area where an entire civilsation can hide from the gaze of authority. All of that changed the day Knighthawk Squadron made a stunning discovery, one that would change the course of the conflict once and for all.’
  
  And with that background for this continuing series for those who are new to Thomas’ popular novels, the entry into this realm allows appreciation of the fine use of AI, alternate realities and virtual worlds, and parallels to contemporary world events that make this well written novel fascinating. A better passageway into science fiction than the myriad books of this nature would be difficult to imagine. Thomas’ writing makes it all seem credible! Grady Harp, April 19
• Star Crusader Tides of War by Michael G. Thomas continues this expansive series for the author. The action starts right away at the beginning of the book with an enemy invasion and wars, both the real and virtual world kind. There is also a parallel universe inhabited by video game players, and political overtones that may pique your interest. There is plenty going on in this story, and you can tell the author enjoys creating vivid scenes while developing realistic characters. A fast pace, solid plot, and skillful writing make this a must read for science fiction fans everywhere. It might be helpful to read the other books in the series to get a feel for the author's intent, but this book certainly holds it's own. Overall a solid entry into the science fiction genre that will appeal to teenagers and adults as well. Highly recommend for a fun and entertaining book.
• This is the latest in a series, Tides of Hope brings us to the Edge of The Rim, which is home to a variety of different alien Lifeforms. Think of the recent movie A City of a thousand planets and you have the idea of the alien diversity within the Rim. The invasion of the Centauri Rim has begun, and the Knighthawks squadron are at the foremost tip of the forces.
  At the beginning of each chapter, the author gives us a background and viewpoint of different historical events that have happened that help set the stage for what is going on in this book. Being the tenth in a series, it had the potential to fall flat and become redundant. The overall arc of the book however, is still going strong within the series and the events were easy to immerse myself within and get lost in the adventure of the story. Fantastic series!
• Star Crusader is a sci-fi thriller about the Centauri Rim and the battles it faces. The Rim is home to many types of misfits and more. There is a stronghold somewhere within the rim that will be the site if the final battle for supreme control. This story falls right in line with the last one in this series and is written in a way that is very easy to follow and there are plenty of reasons to hope your favorite survive. I found this story to be a quick paced action filled journey through fantasy and reality. I think it is just read forneveyone with a desire to explore the sci-fi world where legends are made.
• The author drops you into the middle of story thats pretty obviously (to me anyway) supposed to mirror some of the current events in our current society. The premise that the political thinking of a world is manipulated through a video game to be ultra nationalistic and xenophobic towards alien races which is a thinly veiled comparison to the modern political realities is weak. Its also a shame to see these types of politics blattantly manifested in a set of books I very much enjoyed up to this point. Maybe the author is looking to get picked up by Tor publishing.
• Great addition to the series and the writers universe. Following nate and his friends on an ever expanding journey .Nice twist with the "parallel" gamers universe and impact on the real world, kinda wishing gaming on that level was available today -) Since im not from states i happily dont have an opinoin on the political parallels ;-)
• Great Action as always Heroes from the previous generation join with the heroes of present generation both fighting a war no one saw coming using unique skills, tech, planning, courage & luck.
• Very surprised turn of events in this book. A worthy continuation of an incredible series. I cannot wait for the next chapter
