The Last Watch (2021)
(Divide , book 1)
J S Dewes
"More fun than that time The Expendables, the Dirty Dozen and all of The Night's Watch all got picked up by a random quantum tear in the fabric of spacetime and shot out the edge of the universe to kick ass and save humanity."
thumb
The Aleph Extraction (2020)
(Intergalactic Cold War, book 2)
Dan Moren
"Faster than light writing, kinetic wit, and retro-futurist Golden Age style."
thumb
Eagle in Exile (2016)
(Clash of Eagles Trilogy, book 2)
Alan Smale
"Epic, bloody, and hugely imaginative."
