See all formats and editions

The fleet is gathering. The stakes are high. War is inevitable.

After their escape from Sol, Chloe, Jazz, and the ragtag crew of the Silver Raven awake from their deep space cryostasis sleep in the Barnard’s Star system, unaware that the Hashmedai Empire, under the influence of the Celestial Order, stands on the brink of launching a second incursion of Earth.

This time Earth stands alone with only a fleet of eight warships.

This time there’s nothing Princess Kroshka can do to stop her mother, Empress Y’lin, from ending the war.

Lucky for Chloe and Jazz, Barnard's Star is the location of a major Celestial Order stronghold. Defending Earth might not be an option for them, but cutting off the head of the snake where it rests is.

While the UNE struggles to keep the empire away from Earth, Chloe and Jazz go their separate ways to disrupt all Celestial Order operations in the Barnard’s Star system.

And uncover a secret the human race was not supposed to learn.

A secret that could be used against us.

Note: Contains graphic violence, adult language, and explicit sexual content.

It is a great deal of fun

Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 2018

Mr. Hicks, this series is clearly a well thought out mystery set in a science fiction universe. It is a great deal of fun. I have been reading science fiction since my mother (a collegiate English Professor at that time) got me interesting in reading for fun and I read "The Hobbit" and "Dune", followed by Mr. Shelley's "Frankenstein" for a 7th grade report (which the teacher then said I could not have read because I did too well on the test and made me take a second test, which I passed, much to her dismay." I am a voracious reader, which is why I prefer the Kindle Unlimited.

However, as I have aged, and facing a medical condition I need not dive into, my head just cannot keep up with the plots within plots within plots. I want to keep reading, but I am giving up for now. Hopefully, when my medical condition improves, I can pick it back up and finish it as, again, it seems well thought out and interesting. But right now, it is just too hard for me to read.

This is my first review of any kind on Amazon. I want you to keep writing and keep writing complex and rich stories. I just cannot keep up right now so I must return to things a bit more simplistic for the time being. Good luck and good fortune to you!

Revelations and More Surprises

Reviewed in the United States on July 8, 2017

3.5 stars. Equilibrium of Terror is the third book in the Splintered Galaxy series. This should not be read as a standalone. If you are going to read this series, you need to read Celestial Ascension first so the rest of them make sense. There is a lot of violence, it is a Alien military thriller, so it might not be suitable for more sensitive readers. This is a military thriller so much of the storyline revolves around fighting and military tactics. There also is graphic sex so 18+.

The book blurb adequately describes the storyline so I'm not going to repeat all of that info here. ok. This is a military thriller filled with humans and aliens, with multiple alien races trying to control events and power. Be prepared for some confusion over the time and location changes. While they are easier to followings they were in the first book, but watch the section headings for location and time.. As usual, everything and everyone is not as it seems. And there is plenty of action as well as a lot of twists, turns, and surprises. I look forward to reading more of this series since it ended on a cliffhanger

A great story that's a load of fun.

Reviewed in the United States on June 24, 2017

The Splintered Galaxy stories have been a load of fun, well written, full of adventure and with lots of layers to the story arc and unexpected twists and turns. Equilibrium of Terror, it's third book, is no exception. It's a great story with wonderful lead and supporting characters who continue to grow, and an exceedingly good plot. About the only complaint I have is that, as warned by the author, this is indeed a "Part 1". It not only ends on something of a cliffhanger but that ending is a revelation that's the biggest twist yet. I hope that Eddie R. Hicks can get "Part 2" finished real soon as I'm waaay too eager for it. In the meantime, as for this book, it's highly recommended, and it's only that lack of a definitive conclusion that keeps me from giving it the fifth star.

This is my first book from Hicks - this is listed as the third book- yet part one - took me a bit to understand that too -but I found it easy to follow I will be going back and researching ...

Reviewed in the United States on July 1, 2017

Do not pass this up - Entertaining - Engaging -
Yes, it ends on a cliffhanger that will leave you shocked and with more questions than answers - but I assure you it is worth the wait if Hicks continues his writing style into the next book.
The characters are vivid and the world building - breathtaking
Definitely, a series that you will want to grab onto and stay with!
