A fast paced sci fi action book. I read it on just a couple of days. I am pretty sure I will continue with the triology. After a review of the next one maybe not. ( )

On the surface, the central hero character, SFC Grant Justice, is just as much a gung-ho, space cowboy as that awesome name suggests. However, the author does a pretty good job bringing him back down to earth through oscillating bouts of overconfidence and self-pity. Creating a bad-ass hero is easy. Building one regular people can realistically identify with is a harder task.

The essence of Mr. Hawk’s story is fairly unique and intentionally funny. A time traveling soldier from the “barbaric times” is awoken by a “socially deviant” scientist over 600 years later. Against all odds, the author is able to pass this off as plausible. At least to us non-biologists. From there, our self-loathing John Wayne forces a sheepish world into a high-stakes battle against wild injuns… I mean aliens.

This is where the story becomes overly formulaic. There were several big twists that just lack the impact because they were a bit too predictable. Still, that’s an ancient complaint for most stories. The only real weakness of this tale is the length. Mr. Hawk wraps up the story arc and all just fine, but you’re still left unsatisfied. Belly not quite full and aching for seconds. Of course, isn’t that a hallmark of a good author?

FYI:

Well-polished novel. Especially for an Indie. The author mentions his second edition being “professionally edited.” I think it’s safe to say he got his money’s worth and so will the reader. ( )

This book is very interesting, I liked it a lot and it has a very good hook more less at the 30% of the book. This book is of science fiction because the story takes place in the future. This point of view of the future is very creative because it isn’t a future a lot of people thought of.

The book is a about a soldier that is a very important commander known for doing impossible missions with his squadron, on his final missions something goes wrong and he is left behind from his squad. Around 400 hundred years later the world is completely different, everyone is pacific, there are no more wars or violent people, but everything goes wrong when an alien ship arrives earth and makes everyone their slaves. Now earth must see how to survive, been slaves or defending themselves without been violent, because the violence has completely disappeared from Earth. ( )

For the most part, I enjoyed Peace Warrior. I have trouble envisioning a world set six hundred years in the future that employs technology like high-speed hover craft and medical technology that would put the Six Million Dollar Man to shame but uses 18th century farming and mining practices.The alien race is pure evil. They are able to enslave a world with just over a hundred force occupying army with rudimentary communications capability?Despite these problems and a predictable storyline, I still enjoyed the book and will likely buy Mr. Hawk's sequel.
