review 1: Although my copy of this novel is only the first edition, I still really enjoyed it.I want to say this has a Star Wars feel to it, which it does, however it's nothing like it.The main story follows Confederation Stellar Navy pilot Dodds as he attempts to rejoin his unit after being suspended.Along the way we meet his team, superiors and family as he progresses from suspended pilot, to being included in a secret testing, to doing menial duties, to becoming a hero against overwhelming odds!On top if this, we see a small story of Natalia Grace as she attempts to escape the clutches of the enemy after a series of strikes - although this is only a tiny part of the story, I hope it is elaborated more in the following parts of the series.Although I would love to continue with thi... mores series, the author recommends reading the second edition if this part....and so I shall!!
review 2: I want to first preface this review by stating that I read the first edition of this ebook because it was available for free on my Kindle... the author does suggest that anyone interested in reading the entire trilogy should read the revised edition. That being said, I would not recommend this book. Its premise is intriguing... intergalactic war, fighter pilots, and action scenes dominate the narrative, (think Battlestar Galactica crossed with Top Gun) but lackluster writing skills and the inability of the author to keep my attention made this book a bit of a drag. The plot is predictable, the characters never waver from their established archetypes, and I generally just didn't care what happened until the last quarter of the book. By then, I was just trying to finish it. Overall, it reads like a dime store novel, good for a short read but nothing to write home about... if you're looking for something mindless, this could work. Otherwise knock out something more worth your time. I also feel compelled to note the author is British and uses certain British colloquialisms (like torch instead of flashlight, etc) throughout this edition. It did not effect my reading but it might for some. less
