Didn’t like how this book tried to do too much and only managed to throw out disconnected pieces that came to an incomplete ending that felt like stopping in the middle of a book.
Very disappointing.
Gets 3 stars overall only because of the credit earned in the first 3 books.

This reads like it was written by an adolescent boy in the midst of a roid-rage and just discovering the female body.
I gave it a chance but it just didn’t improve.

The author seemed to be trying to emulate Tom Clancy’s style of telling a story from multiple perspectives. All he did was tell multiple stories at once with only a few connecting points. I found it virtually impossible to connect with the book, or the characters.

Shallow story clothed in moment by moment detail and tangential “fill” supporting a contrived concept that doesn’t stand up to a thinking mind. Good sci fi is supposed to support a suspension of disbelief. This does the opposite.
And making a stop in the Wild West to fix the Time Machine is such an obvious rip off from the Back to the Future movie that it’s distracting.

Everything that can go wrong, does. Every challenge is overcome at the last possible second. Every safety rope is JUST too short. Every air supply runs out at the last second. For every insurmountable obstacle, there is a perfect solution just barely within reach, at the last possible moment. The hero screws up time after time, catastrophically, but somehow pulls through every time.
I stayed with it to the end, but it never achieves redemption. This is what I’d expect from an author’s first work, or from a hack just turning the crank on a formula-based story generator. Very disappointed.

Yes, I’m going to say it: this book was written to advance an artificial image of women in the military. Too much in the way of feelings. A military story of this premise would not include such emotional angst, or so many women. They even make the MC have lesbian-ish leanings. I’m just glad that wasn’t too much in your face.
I stayed for the whole story but came very close to bailing multiple times.
If you need a dose of woke, read/listen to this story. If you want true military sci-fi, look elsewhere. I agree with virtually all of the other reviews that offer this kind of critique.

Wonderful presentation of an outstanding story. The combination of Author, story and Narrator were meant to be.

This book in the series stood out for the sheer tonnage of internal thought dialog, explanations of situations from one character to another, and general background descriptions because the storytelling couldn’t carry the info the author thought important.

The story is damaged by how many really stupid decisions are made by the smartest man on earth… by the opportunities that the smartest man on earth let’s go by.

This was too all over the place. Too stupid, lacking a story. Too much randomness. Couldn’t get past Chapter 8.
