A perfect end to a perfect series.

Gods, this final installment was beyond expectation. The way Forbes covered back on the prior three books, filling in the gaps and tying the whole saga together was pure masterful.

This series was superb, each character no matter how minor became important to you, each morning my commute to work I found myself gripped, pulling for the heroes and sitting the few extra minutes in the car to finish a chapter.

The ending was painful, yet fitting, and wasnt given away too early. The epilogue allowed for the happy wrap up we all wanted. The sphere is finally safe, and the world goes on. I dont know what I'm going to do now without another story of Stone and Rozik.

Help isnt always helpful

The former soldier in me had to cringe and just how realistic some parts of this story were, mostly the bureaucracy. I never thought I could look so poorly at the AoP, yet here I am, waving my own commune flag.

Its book 3 and Stone has finally made it home. The expectations the prior two stories had set up for me, were totally shattered, and I was left gripped at how this story built back up. Once again new characters are never glossed over, keeping the mental painting of what is being told to us very vivid, expansion of what we know about the banshees is splendid, building a fantastic Sci-fi villain.

Book three will take you through excitement, hope, anger, let down and leave you hanging on tight to yet another M.R. Forbes cliffhanger end. If you need a great Sci-fi series to start, this is the one!

Pros:
Memorable characters
Deep vivid world
total lack of slow down, no filler

cons:
not enough Rozik this time! 1/100,000,000,000th of a star removed.

A stellar sequel to the interstellar tale

Where Star Fire was a little slow to start, Star Kill hit the ground at sprint and never slowed down. Picking up direct from the end of book one, we are again given a view of our Alliance and Commune "heroes" as they seek out aid to warn their governments of the Banshee threat.

The story stays gripping, even during the more relaxed events, as Forbes masterfully paints us a Sci-fi masterpiece. Character development is top shelf, and the introduction of new characters is done well, especially with the unexpected little hero of the story, a personal new favorite character I hope we see more of.

As was in the first book, the narration is fantastic, which was expected with the role not being changed. I wish I could find a fault in this book, as I dont want to sound like I'm just giving lip service, but I honestly cant. I loved every second from "cover to cover".

This series is a must have, and M.R. Forbes is quite possibly the finest sci-fi author you may not have heard about before. A true 10/10 all around

A writer you have to check out

Star Fire is a story that needs to be heard. Forbes delivers a fine sci-fi survival narrative, presented in first person, that paints a picture of a horrible alien first contact. The characters will become endeared to you throughout and you will find yourself pulling hard for their victories.

The presentation put me in mind of Philip K. Dicks style in "Do Androids dream of electric sheep" The narration is fantastic, and there is no filler in the plot used to drag out pages.

Most importantly it left me craving more, to continue the story, to see the characters unfold further and see how it all finally ends. Wonderful work by a fantastic author
