Historia
Sons of the primarch Roboute Guilliman, the Primaris Ultramarines are peerless warriors whose sworn duty is to protect mankind from the predations of the xenos and the foul traitors of the Heretic Astartes. In a galaxy riven by eternal war, they and the other armies of the Imperium are all that stand between mankind and damnation. Their ship damaged by warp storms, the Ultramarines of strike force Cassian make for Kalides Prime. Also within this book is a host of awesome short stories to give you a flavour of the many warring armies that exist within the worlds of Warhammer 40,000.

A few nice little vignettes in here but overall poor writing without a solid foundation.

Disappointing end to second triad
Revisado: 04-11-19
After the scattered beginning with book 4; things were looking up with book 5 but failed to land here. Particularly disappointed with the ending, dullest characters come out on top :(

Historia
Gary Karkofsky a.k.a Merciless: The Supervillain Without Mercy (TM) returns in the fourth volume of the popular Supervillainy Saga. Having discovered the world's greatest superhero slain by his doppelganger from another reality, Merciful: The Supervillain with Mercy (TM), and the arrogant President Omega, Gary dedicates himself to overthrowing both. Unfortunately, this is harder than it looks since Merciful has all of Gary's genre savviness while President Omega has the entire brainwashed United States military.

Disappointed 😒
Revisado: 01-13-18
Promising series but getting steadily worse as the premise wears thin. Paying lip service to character development but really just relying on raising power levels, pop culture and incessant Mary Suing.

Sadly predictable
Revisado: 12-24-17
I found this book a real struggle to listen through; lots of dull filler from the Manticorans and not enough Mesa to maintain interest. Perfect Paragons on one side, Immoral Idiots on the other. At this point the Mantys are the arrogant bullies and everyone else is sucking up to them as they murder millions unnecessarily.

Historia
The Star Kingdom's ally Erewhon is growing increasingly restive in the alliance because the new High Ridge regime ignores its needs. Add to that the longstanding problem of a slave labor planet controlled by hostile Mesans in Erewhon's stellar back yard, a problem which High Ridge also ignores.

Terrible story
Revisado: 08-06-17
I got this book hoping for more Honorverse without having the awesomeness of Honor shoved down my throat. Something like Service of the Sword would have been good.
What I got was far worse. In CoS the bad guys are comically outclassed by an elite cadre of protagonists - each the best in their field from various competing states - who for no good reason decide to band together to undermine their governments based on forced personal relationships that have only existed for a few days if nit hours. The early setup feels like these experts will be going up against each other with real characters on the line but nope; they are all instantly on the same page regardless of their backgrounds and the second half of the book has zero tension. CoS also spoils the prior work on Overstegan and Viktor from the anthologies. A huge disappointment.

Historia
The Extra is set in a future California where members of a desperate populace sign contracts to participate in reality death films, knowing that less than 20% of them will survive. It’s a view of the future—and Hollywood—as delightfully cynical as Kurt Vonnegut with sympathetic characters, Hollywood executive sleazeballs and much more.

This expansion of a short story from Polyphemus - also by Shea - adds a lot without losing the feel of the original. Would be great to see more of his short stories receive this treatment.

A true middle-of-a-trilogy book with little to offer itself. Could have been trimmed substantially without losing anything; leaving the pace slow.

Historia
You define life or it defines you. In Shawn Speakman’s case, it was both. Lacking health insurance and diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma in 2011, Shawn quickly accrued a massive medical debt that he did not have the ability to pay. That’s when New York Times best-selling author Terry Brooks offered to donate a short story that Shawn could sell to help alleviate those bills—and suggested he ask the same of his other writer friends. Unfettered is the result: An anthology built in order to relieve that debt, featuring short stories by some of the best fantasy writers in the genre.

1 or 2 decent short stories buried in the dross. Disappointing to see well known authors send in their barrel scrapings for this worthy-sounding cause.

Historia
Fleeing from a vengeful king has sent the former NPCs across Solium's borders, into the kingdom of Alcatham. As wanted fugitives, they head to the small farming village of Briarwillow, hoping to blend in, lay low, and avoid trouble at all costs. Unfortunately, Briarwillow has problems all its own, and its troubles quickly become theirs. If they hope to survive long enough to escape, they'll have to tackle an all-but-forgotten mystery buried at the town's border as well as seek the wisdom of a mysterious group of mages.

Still pretty good but both characters and story come off worse than the first book in the series.
