Historia
The only life Tress has known on her island home in an emerald-green ocean has been a simple one, with the simple pleasures of collecting cups brought by sailors from faraway lands and listening to stories told by her friend Charlie. But when his father takes him on a voyage to find a bride and disaster strikes, Tress must stow away on a ship and seek the Sorceress of the deadly Midnight Sea. Amid the spore oceans where pirates abound, can Tress leave her simple life behind and make her own place sailing a sea where a single drop of water can mean instant death?

climax was a bit of a letdown after the rising action portion but hardly took away from the overall narrative

Character development
Revisado: 06-20-24
I appreciate that this series gives us, as readers, a bit more perspective into Emily "frikkin" Perkins' character. In Ex force she is almost always portrayed as a cold, devious woman like: a dark elf or "dwemer"
These books really give us a very personable portrayal of the maveriks makeup. I don't know if this series was in the "genisis" of C.Alanson's outline or perhaps a suggestion after the fact but kudos either way!
I skipped the Maveriks on my original read through of Ex force. After a re-read of Ex force, circled back & now i'm reading everything sequentially from its publication date. If anyone out there has done the same I highly reccomend doing so, this is a nice way to stave your anticipation for the next Ex series drop and also keep things fresh. As always good Job to all!

Enjoyable, However, not "critical" to the main plot.
Revisado: 04-09-24
Enjoyed this little novella. While this book is not "necessarily critical" to the series the further character development is appreciated. This sheds light on Perkins and the expiditionary force still stuck on paradise.

Historia
For years, the ancient alien AI known as Skippy (the Magnificent, don’t forget that part) has been able to do one impossible thing after another. What is his secret? It’s simple: 100 percent Grade-A extreme awesomeness. And also because he had never been faced with an opponent of equal power. Until now. This time, he might need a little help from a band of filthy monkeys.

Finally! Plot Development Ahoy!
Revisado: 06-14-22
Personally, I kinda felt like the series was floundering from the past few books. Match Game reassured me as a fan that Alanson has a plan for this story that is more than just a quirky spacecrew meandering throught the universe trying to make it...
I mean it's still very much the quirky spacemonkies I mean: (*clears throat) Crew... SPACECREW meandering throughout the universe just trying to make it but now... you guessed it. Three words baby, freedom and wheat see what I did there? Just kidding.
BUH-NA-NAWS, thicc ones too! No before you attempt to correct my spelling, that was not a clerical error. Cause these fat Na-naws are ripe with the oh so delicious flavors that leave you thirsty for more.
If you too felt that the series was going a bit dry; and not in the good way, then rest assured...in the famous words of the peanut butter logo (elder A.I.) we've come to know and love: "shut up & hold my beer."

In the year 2045, reality is an ugly place. The only time Wade Watts really feels alive is when he’s jacked into the OASIS, a vast virtual world where most of humanity spends their days. When the eccentric creator of the OASIS dies, he leaves behind a series of fiendish puzzles, based on his obsession with the pop culture of decades past. Whoever is first to solve them will inherit his vast fortune—and control of the OASIS itself.

Some things just do not compare to a well written book! Dwarfed the immersive qualities the cinema tenfold if you loved the movie reading this book will make you appreciate it more since reading this I've yet to skip through any more rpg credits, as well as, movie credits. "Gunters University" varsity jackets will be awarded upon retention of The Egg's 😉

The Merry Band of Pirates offered the bad guys a ceasefire. We won’t mess with them, if they don’t mess with us. Easy, right? No. The aliens chose to do things the hard way. So, the Pirates are racing around the galaxy to clean up the threat to Earth. The infant UN Navy has their own mission with the Alien Legion: Get humanity some allies in the fight. And the Ethics & Compliance Office might have to do something...ethical. Unless they can find a way around it.

Entertaining, as always, but...
Revisado: 08-09-21
I really hope the next book provides some movement into the rising action of the series development. Some overarching development on the plot... to me, the last few books haven't disappointed by any means!
Just feels a bit: Redundant; a lot like going to the same ol stripper at the same ol bar & expecting a lap dance when she's just the bartender at this club & why the hell doesn't "Barrista" ever translate to English in this place is something wrong with my translator again?? Then it dawns on me I'm in a freakin Starbucks asking for a damned lapdance!... I digress. Great Job, Alanson & Bray seriously, but I'd kill for a steaming hot LARGE not venti or whatever Italians order in (because, you can't force me to conform to Starbucks' crazy sizecharts man, I really need to get Skippy to look at this busted translator can't even order lapdances anymore I mean crap) wait, what was I sayin? oh yeah!
LARGE! Doubleshot of plot development hold the sugar & top that bad boy off with heavy climax and no fluff just all nutter... this review started out so well... eh, people who've gotten this far might getta kick outta this. fuckkit. doubt anyone reads this stuff anyways.

A great read to gain back story into the series.
Revisado: 04-20-20
Gives reader insight into the various characters you run into throughout the series and while it lacks a bit in the character development area it certainly doesn't disappoint in the action department it is also a small collection of short stories honestly thought it was an odd way to start a series at first but gave it some time and after reading the other books i'd say it was paramount in fully understanding what is to come.

Historia
For over a century, humans, dwarves, gnomes, and elves have lived together in relative peace. But times have changed, the uneasy peace is over, and now the races are fighting once again. The only good elf, it seems, is a dead elf. Geralt of Rivia, the cunning assassin known as The Witcher, has been waiting for the birth of a prophesied child. This child has the power to change the world - for good, or for evil.

maybe it's just establishment of a plot and such typical of a starting book series but I am not seeing what all the hype is about from book one as of right now great performance narrating though definitly kept me entertained

Historia
Following his mission on Cappa, Colonel Carl Butler returns to a mixed reception. To some, he is a do-or-die war hero. To the other half of the galaxy, he’s a pariah. Forced into retirement, he has resettled on Talca Four where he’s now Deputy VP of Corporate Security, protecting a high-tech military company on the corporate battlefield - at least, that’s what the job description says. Really, he’s just there to impress clients and investors. It’s all relatively low risk - until he’s entrusted with new orders.
