This may be Glynn Stewart’s best starter yet. Terrific narrative and a fine narration. Well done!

Colonel Jake Thomas has a mess on his hands. The losses on Klinan have gutted an already short-staffed defense force, and his people are scrambling to prepare for a possible attack, directly on Earth. Combined with the seemingly erratic behavior of Sara, his number-one go-to girl, he is struggling to keep up. Now, with unexplained transmissions originating in Europe, and an Alien visitor with questionable motives, he is awash in new challenges on Earth and in space.

Slowly Sinking into the Sunset
Revisado: 07-14-17
There's just not enough meat on the bone in this series. Too much like a preteen romance novel. Started out with promise but managed to disappoint.

Tired Narrative
Revisado: 07-11-17
The initial book was silly with its sex themes but interesting in its development of the Alice AI. This second novel adds very little. Hopefully, things pick up in #3.

Colonel Joe Bishop made a promise and he's going to keep it; taking the captured alien starship Flying Dutchman back out. He doesn't agree when the UN decides to send almost 70 elite Special Operations troops, hotshot pilots, and scientists with him; the mission is a fool's errand he doesn't expect to ever return from. At least, this time, the Earth is safe, right? Not so much.

New Direction for Many of Us
Revisado: 05-04-17
There have been many explorations of how our essential humanity is threatened by artificial intelligence. This book takes a new direction. What if we became ever more humane once we moved our consciousness to an artificial medium? If we were immortal, self-replicating, and mobile throughout the universe, what would we do with the opportunities? This clever and friendly novel examines some of the endless possibilities.

It's a skill that can help solve mysteries ranging from disappearances to murder. Two severed feet wash up on two different islands off the coast of Scotland. Forensics shows that the feet belong to the same body.

Your Patience is Required
Revisado: 12-24-16
Would you try another book from Christopher G. Nuttall and/or Christian Rummel?
Just skip ahead to BLACK SHEEP. You won't have missed a thing.
Has Hard Lessons turned you off from other books in this genre?
Of all the Nuttall books in the LEARNING EXPERIENCE series, only BLACK SHEEP is absent his tiresome Libertarian preaching.
How could the performance have been better?
fine.
You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
not really
Any additional comments?
yawn

Clever Story
Revisado: 11-21-16
These books are so much more enjoyable when Nuttall leaves his politics deeply in the background. This is the mark of a mature writer. Nice story, great characters. Loved the chicken queen!

How much do you know about the Etruscans? Many people, even those who are fascinated by ancient history, are less familiar with this intriguing culture than with the history of Greece and Rome - but the story of the Etruscans is equally captivating and far more important than you may have known. This ancient civilization prospered in the region of modern-day Tuscany, maintaining extensive trade networks, building impressive fortified cities, making exquisite art, and creating a culture that, while deeply connected to the Greeks and Romans, had striking contrasts.
