Fiction. Science Fiction. HTML:

While digging through the ruins of a long dead civilization on the planet Mawcett, a team of Terran and Nordakian archeologists find an underground tunnel leading to a door in such extraordinary condition that it could have been fabricated as recently as that morning. They labor throughout the day, using every modern device available to them, but are unable to gain entry.
Then, in the early hours of the new day, seemingly in response to the screams of a frustrated, over-tired scientist, the door slides noiselessly open. Upon passing through the entranceway, the archeologists are stunned to find an elaborate complex in pristine condition. Summoning the courage to venture further, they enter a large circular chamber lined with strange electronic equipment, and immediately become engrossed in examining strange symbols etched into the floor near the center of the room. Suddenly, they're bathed in a strange light that paralyzes them where they stand. They watch in frozen terror as a clear, circular wall rises up around them. When the enclosed area begins to fill with a dense ocher gas smelling of persimmons, the dig site laborers, who had witnessed the activity from the periphery, run screaming for the entrance.

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. ( )

Better pacing than the first two books of the series. Fun popcorn matinee type space opera. ( )

I won't be continuing this series. The lead female continues to be a Mary Sue on a scale to match Honor Harrington but has gotten there in just three books where Honor at least took twice that to really start breaking the world around her.
