Summary

Out of the blue, a young Space Fleet officer's dream becomes reality: He's made captain of a starship. Just in time for the return of humanity's most terrible enemy, after 50 years of peace.

To survive against this enemy, Captain Tad Thatcher will have to do more than learn how to become an effective commander, or how to wrangle his wayward crew. He will need to reinvent space combat. From scratch.

We hope you like space battles. Buckle up for Spacers, the military sci-fi series you've been waiting for. Download this six-book box set today.

A Good Series!

I like a good series. Honor Harrington is a great space opera. Any thing by B.V. Larson is great comic book space opera. Them I recommend. This however I not going to/or not going to recommend. I found I was losing interest by book 5. I will simply say to each their own. I Will however recommend that IF you are interested that you can save 2 credits by getting the box set books 1-6. Then as I have Just done, box set books 7&8. Oh yes I am committed to finding out what happens in the end.

So Audible get books 9 & 10 on here Pronto. And yes there is also now, a prequel... LOL

A great space epic

I found the start very slow and hard to get into, but I persevered and it was definitely worth it.
Great books, great narration and engaging throughout.
It has the usual why is the clever character being stupid from time to time, but so do all books.
I thoroughly recommend this.

Great Hard Science Fiction

If you are a fan of great space battles, precise believable military tactics, and a brilliant story with 3 dimensional characters, then look no further! This six book set tells the story of a talented military tactician and his rise to power, of a region of space in turmoil due to politics and an alien presence. I loved every minute of it, from the entrancing story to the excellent narrator. About to begin another Scott Bartlett box set and only hope that it as good as this one has been.

A black hole for your time and patience

This author could have been good, there were moments of really good scenes, but unfortunately I don't think "story" can describe any of these books - none of them end or have conclusions, they are just vehicles for selling another book.

I forced myself to keep going after each book in the hope we might reach a point, but by the sixth book just ending in the middle of a scene, I couldn't do it anymore. If I knew what they were like going in, I wouldn't have bothered and listened to something else instead.

Learn to pronounce Edinburgh.

As a Scottish reader hearing the narrator butcher Scottish city names is painful. Other than that a exceptional book.

Loved this story

I got involved in the story and characters from the outset. Most of all I wanted to know what was going to happen next. Very well written and equally very well narrated. A thoroughly enjoyable way of spending a few hours living this tale.
