This book would be a favorite of anyone who loves history, and also the potential what ifs. A refreshing departure from the typical alien invasion series where it’s usually a completely one sided affair. Turtledove did it incredible job researching these historical figures and putting them into believable considering the extenuating circumstances.

The author does a fantastic job of writing the story in the mindset and times of someone in the 1910s. The story is very good at incorporating real life individuals and events into his stories that not only makes sense, but enhances it. I enjoyed the not yet Prime Minister version of Winston Churchill. His interpretation of how certain nations, religions and groups of people would react to certain situations was rather accurate.

Most alien invasion movies, books, and TV shows involve a completely insurmountable opponent that can only be defeated by the hero or a single McGuffin. Conventional weapons are completely ineffective, and nothing works.

This series is not that. It depicts a conventional war between two opponents slugging it out in a war of attrition. Its got all the right details such as logistics, maintaining supply lines, production, the perpetual rapidly developing arms race during a war, and significant amounts of combat. My only complaint is that the books aren’t longer, and that there are only five books in the series so far. I think anyone who enjoys a significant amount of realism added into science fiction will enjoy this book greatly.

I have always found the approach the Blackfeet series took interesting. Instead of having the big bad show up at the very end for a final legendary confrontation, the series gets that out-of-the-way in the first three books, and the subsequent two trilogys deals with the inevitable civilization changing fallout. An approach that I can appreciate, and that is not often explored in most science-fiction series.

It’s a shame it’s over but I’m glad I was here for the ride.

Definitely a book for someone who likes Tom Clancy’s red storm rising. They are very similar in many ways, all good ones. I do have to say well while were very good about the details of many weapon systems. They got quite a few things wrong when it came to tanks, the T-14 Armata for example is not in service, it also has an uncrewed turret. German tanks don’t use 130mm cannons and Abrams tanks don’t throw their turrets. Although the first two can be forgiven, considering they were both planned to be in service at one point.

This novel nicely ties up a number of old storylines, gives us more of characters that we quite like, and has interesting implications overall to the story of halo. Definitely worth the read.

An excellent and much-needed modern look into the Alpha Legion and how it operates. It’s an interesting story that introduces equally interesting new characters that I hope will become reoccurring ones for years to come. The author managed to turn the ever divided and scheming alpha legion into a considerable cohesive threat again for the first time in ten millennia. Making them a relevant faction once again.

I eagerly await the sequel.

Leviathan does a good job at establishing the Tyranids as the major enemy for 10th edition. They seem more dangerous and cunning. The narrator did a good job with space marines, but his voice for every baseline human was rather grating. Making most non-Marines sound like sniveling cowards, hirer pitch and shrill. Still worth of credit if you want to keep up with modern 40K lore.

An enjoyable look into commander Shadowsun, and a progression for the overall story of the Tau Empire and their understanding of the warp. I would advise first reading both Farsight novels as there is some valuable context to parts of the story, but this book can be read on its own without any real issue. Helen McAlpine does an excellent job for female characters, some of the male voices take a bit of getting used to, but it does not distract from the quality of the story or the audiobook itself.

As a fan of both the Tau and the imperium I especially liked this book. Cain as always is extremely entertaining and interesting character. This one also gave me a renewed appreciation for the Skitarii and tech priests in general.
