review 1: From My Newsletter Number 38:The first review is on Rise Of The Corinai from The Frontiers Saga Episode 5 by Ryk Brown. The story starts out with the Aurora badly damaged by battle and a shortage of crew members. Captain Nathan Scott must enlist a new crew from Corinair volunteers and former Yamaro crew members who have turned against the Ta’Akar. Nathan has started a rebellion in the Darvano system and created a new Alliance of planets that must now find a way to overthrow the Ta’Akar king, Caius. However, before Nathan can finish his repairs and train his new crew he must deal with more Ta’Akar imperial warships converging on Corinair to quell the rebellion and destroy the Aurora. The final battle scenes between warships are quite suspenseful and detailed. The ... morebattle for control of the Darvano system is just beginning and the outcome uncertain. I give this book four stars because I found the story to be entertaining and worth following to its conclusion.
review 2: With this installment this book series is back in shape after the dip it took (in my personal opinion of course) with the previous one. Not that the previous one really was a bad book but I was disappointed that the Aurora was just sitting in orbit while the action centered around dirt based guerilla warfare.In this one we’re pretty much back to space and starship action. The Aurora gets some much needed repairs and also some improvements from the more advanced tech that’s now available to them although it’s very little and I would really like to have seen some more along that line. She also gets shot up again which is a bit annoying.At the end of the previous book I was a bit afraid that there was going to be a spy/traitor/saboteur roaming around the Aurora (I really dislike those kinds of events) and for a good chunk of the book it does indeed look like it. The matter resolves itself in the end entirely to my liking though. No I’m not telling you more, read the book if you want to know.Nathan and the people around him is also evolving (maturing) as the story develops. In particular Nathan is learning what it really means to be a captain, sometimes the hard way. Cameron, recuperating from her wounds, is not so present in this book and I do lack her a bit.I am definitely looking forward to the next book in the series (The Head of the Dragon) and I do still hope that the Aurora gets some more high tech upgrades and starts her voyage home. Preferably with a fleet of high tech buddies ready to kick some bad guy ass back home. less
