Review:Having memories of growing up in Leander and knowing Major Jennings Hegar as a kid, I was excited to go on her journey of memoir to remember and learn about this woman who once was a girl we ALL knew to be the best in our class. Her author's note promised to show us how women in combat don't have to "shrink in fear when the bullets fly" and set the bar high for her book, but in the end the washout came for me in her inability to keep the flow of her important story at the forefront. I felt like ... Read more

Review:I loved one second after and was eager to read this book. This was before I realized it was a paid commercial by NASA....actually sponsored by NASA. Made a great concept take silly turns to make NASA the hero. Read more

Review:An excellent addition to my library. Awesome author, will look for more of His work . Hope to learn more of this man and His awesome style of Combat. A truer Samurai has yet to breath the air of life. It's a shame the man isn't alive anymore. We could all learn alot from this Soul. Both warfare and life in General. A very Wise one indeed.

Review:I had thoroughly enjoyed reading the previous two books but this one got lost in the tiresome and irritating Senator Rione. I grew irritated with her behavior at about 1/3 and simply disgusted with the space devoted to her and her foibles.
Unfortunately, she won't get lost or improve with time, so this is the last of the series I read. I'm reading for an action/adventure story, not touchy-feely relationship logbooks. Read more

Review:If you like classic science fiction with plausible science to describe things, then the Lost Fleet should be your cup of tea. I have diligently followed along and enjoyed it all. This latest installment had me glued to my seat while I read it from stem to stern in a half day. Read more

Review:It was an interesting continuation of The Lost Fleet saga. As much as you want things to change the more they remain the same. Politics, personal vendettas, history repeats itself. If you are to busy taking about a problem rather than handling it, it will turn into a bigger problem that you might not be able to correct. Don't try to talk a problem to death take the bull by the horns and solve it - don't try to be politically correct. Read more

Review:I read for pleasure. Not for a deep deep understanding of how characters are developed and the plot. If it is a fun read and enjoyable I read the series. I have read all of them and this is just as good as any of the others. Read more

Review:Jack's series "The Lost stars" is a masterful collection of technology, gigantic battles, heroic people, and very human people. His writing has a great balance of action, description, and conversation. What a saga this has been! I started with #1, and here we are on #11! I could not stop, nor will you.

If you love hard sci-fi, you will love this series. But start from #1. The limitations of space travel he puts into the stories are much more believable than some out there... Read more

Review:The series is getting better. The story telling and plot line are much improved. I usually don't read science fiction. But am enjoying these novels and have shared with several friends. As a retired sergeant myself, I only ask that you treat Riker with honors he has clearly earned! Read more

Review:Not only will the scope and breadth of the evolving story line continue to fascinate ...but the characters evolve as the story unfolds as well. Parallels to present day world political and military make this book (and series) a pleasure to read and enjoy. Read more
