Thomas DePrima

I'll start with the downside of this. Science fiction fans will recognize the similarities with David Weber's Honor Harrington series and comparisons are inevitable. I will allow you to form you own opinion. Mine should become clear during this review.

First let me speak of the editing of the books in the series i have read. these books were obviously read by human being and not just spellchecked. Further, they did .a very good, which seems to a rare occurrence in kindle books, especially if independently published.Spelling and grammar are excellent. Bravo, Mr. DiPrima!

The plots are good and the action is fast.. There seems to me to be less 'technical' information offered than in Mr. Weber's series which pleases me as I am not a big tech fan.

Aside from both being female Jen Carver is not a clone of honor Harrington aside from both being military geniuses. Jen Carver has no treecat but in this book has acquired a couple of animal friends.

I will not go into plot and characters except to say they are professionally done and enjoyable. It seems to me that Jen Carver is a bit luckier than might be expected but that's just my opinion.

If you enjoy military science fiction then I believe you will enjoy this series.… (más)

This is a good quick and simple read that plays off many established scifi themes, but DePrima lacks the skill to make something truly extraordinary.

After reading the book I realized how simple and extraordinary the Force is for a space opera because it gives a reason why a single person could be at the right place at the right time and always seem to do just the right thing. While each event that happens to the main character is not out of the bounds of fiction taken all together the way everything plays out just so is a little ridiculous.

I will still more than likely read the next book because the relatively low price will allow me to support the author. I will be looking to see just what elements will cause trouble for our main character and which seem to fall by the wayside and to see if her personality can seem to evolve into a slightly more three dimensional character rather than just a plucky Mary Sue.
