Book 9 of 10: Abner Fortis, ISMC

See all formats and editions

After the President declared the Maduro Sector off-limits, a peace craze swept the United Nations of Terra, and the government enacted the Budget Realignment Act to reap the dividends of the peace by shifting funds from the defense budget to public services. Thousands of Space Marines and Fleet personnel were summarily dismissed from the service, and their ships and weapons were mothballed.

But when the Kuiper Knights, a fundamentalist cult that existed on the fringes of known space, started recruiting the former military members, also known as “divvies,” and transporting them to the Free Sector—an area in space denied to the UNT—the remaining military commands began to get concerned about what their motives might be.

And, as political tensions on Terra Earth rise, a ship full of weapons disappears, threatening the peace in the Free Sector and on Terra Earth. With few active-duty personnel remaining, Abner Fortis and Petr Ystremski are dispatched to deal with the crisis and prevent full-scale hostilities… but will they get there in time to prevent all-out war and the employment of a super weapon nicknamed, “The Planet Killer?”

Definitely my favorite series

I love Abner and his adventures. This book is a wonderful addition to the series! It's got action, heart, an epic bromance, space ships, and the frailty of the human condition. There's a realness to the writing that makes the characters super relatable and very entertaining. I can't wait to read the next one in the series!

After the UNT discharge a huge portion of the military to reap a so called peace dividend, the find out that service members given the shaft will turn to unlikely avenues to make a living. When the Kuiper Knights steal the Colossus, which is storing 40, 000 pulse rifles and a secret planet killer weapon, it’s up to Fortis and Ystremski to infiltrate, locate and destroy the Colossus. Ystremski Is divvied (discharged) and goes undercover to be recruited by the Knights. Meanwhile, Fortis is tasked with leading a group of mercenaries to recover or destroy the Colossus once Ystremski sends out the location. This is another great look into interactions between politicians who are clueless, disdained soldiers, greed and sacrifice that we’ve come to expect in the Terra Earth universe.

Each book can stand by itsself and still they combine into a vibrant tapestry. If you're looking for something to engage your Grey matter , this will do.

I really enjoyed this read; it was an interesting change up by separating the main characters who are normally teamed together. Yaz gets center stage more or less which is new. The suspense and intrigue which follows grabs the reader’s attention and holds it there through the end.
Keep ‘em coming!

As a former Recon Marine, I absolutely LOVE this series! The characters are very personable, and well developed. The action is fast paced and believeable. The politics are absolutely spot on. I can't recommend this book (and the entire series) enough!

Even better than the last one. Good to see Ystremski play a bigger roll in this one. Looking forward to the next in the series. Well done.

Abner Fortis series maintains a high level of excitement. A logical step in the story line. Mess up of politics like real life. Can't wait for the next story.
