USA Today best seller B.V. Larson and Dragon award finalist David VanDyke have released book six in their epic military space opera!

The Breakers find a new home among the stars: Utopia. An engineered planet that is vast beyond comprehension with plenty of room to grow. They set up trade routes and work as mercenaries for their supplies...but trouble lurks.

Pirates strike their merchant lanes. Key personnel are captured and enslaved. Straker is called upon to do something, and thus a new conflict is set in motion.

Don’t miss Hell’s Reach, a wild thrill ride of combat and intrigue among the stars. This new novel of military science fiction is the sixth book in the Galactic Liberation series. Look for book number one, Starship Liberator if you’re new to this expanding universe.

As with most works by B. V. Larson, David VanDyke and narrated by Mark Boyett I found my purchase well worth it and look forward to others.

The new species encounters was interesting with the sentient rocks being the most so. Also, I enjoyed the authors' decision to divulge Chiara's backstory. It gave meaning to what had been a white elephant plot hole in the past. Breaking out Chiara and Loco into a separate, yet related, story arc was enjoyable and seemed to establish them as a team all their own. I say "seemed" since Loco has a history of similar, erm, couplings in his past so only time and more books will tell how permanent it is.

As I enjoyed Chiara's character development, I would like to learn more about Derek's sister Mara; other than her being a, seemingly, uncaring brainiac type. something more current than her previous backstory early in the series. The authors seem to suggest that there's more to her character than what is revealed and that she has repressed her emotions out of her sense of duty for those she loves around her. Another story arc that revealed her emotional fortitude, weaknesses and internal ethical nuances would be a welcomed inclusion.

With all that said, I did get a sense of the series becoming somewhat predictable and repetitive in a few areas; for example, the scene where Carla lamented to Derek about their not being able to settle down and raise their kids like normal people had been discussed in the past and settled. It would have been okay if it were brought up and either of them would have prefaced it with something like, "I know we've discuss this before but I can't help yearning for a normal life ..." Admittedly, this is a nit but one that seemed out of place.

Also, what about their kids?! We have Loco becoming the stereotypical mostly absent father and Derek and Carla resigned to making theirs pretty much latchkey children. I understand that this series isn't meant to be a family-oriented type of novel but giving the kids some white-space time would help in not thinking less of these leading character parent-types.

Still good but some weak areas

Good entertainment.

This book pushed the series to new thought provoking limits of sci fi and morality. Wish it would keep going, brilliant.

Pushing the limits

follows the formula of the series.
narration is excellent as usual.
I wish B V Larson would try something new though.
always a dimple chinned, man of action, irresistible to women, all of his risky gambits pay off, constantly hurling verbal abuse at his robot/alien genius sidekick it's fun but gets repetitive.

good, lightweight ear candy

Spoiler alert. It’s good to see loco go his own way I really hope too see more character development for him

Another great book in the series!

Narrator great as always, felt like 2 books in one. Best In series? Not Sure of That Just Yet. To me It Seemed They wanted to show the "human" side of Straker, but it just came across as him being subordinate all the time getting run over by the "brainiacs". Gets a bit overly complex with plot holes to be picked apar. Great listen as always though.

Complex and Simple
