The Complete Void Wraith Saga: Books 16 in the Epic Military Science Fiction Series Reviews

  I'll review the whole box set rather than individual books in the series. I've been looking for quick, fun, scifi or fantasy reads to listen to at work. I found this set on kindle unlimited with a 99 cent upgrade to the full audiobook set. It was a great, popcorn-eating, bubblegum chewing military scifi soap opera funfest. I was pleasantly surprised at how written it was and fastpaced action.

  Made it through, barely
  
  First the good parts. A few characters, even shallow, that you can get behind and root for. A series of increasingly implausible tasks and battles to overcome by a growing alliance of species, typical for space opera. Nothing unexpected and better than many.
  
  Now for the rest of the story. Besides the usual so so editing the misuse of terms made reading many sections almost unbearable. Weapons have magazines not clips, there is no aft side on a ship aft is a direction facing the stern, the nadir of a planet is the closest point of the planet viewed from above, telling someone to go there is telling them to land not hide which is how it is used.
  
  A military that allows lower ranks to refer to their officers by their last name, no rank, and speak to them as if they were equal. A ship's captain ordered around by a major. Really? A character referred to as a private, then corporal, then sergeant in about two paragraphs. Oh lest we forget the creatures that are 2000 meters tall which under normal gravity couldn't exist much less move and fight.
  
  I could go on but I'm sure by now you get the point.

  I tried the ebook sample (which is already a read for several hours, since the full ebook has around 1800 pages.
  I didn't finish even the sample. The writing was pretty low level, a good continuation of the old penny dreadfuls, and I guess for roughly the same audience. The characters were hard to believe, implausible interactions. The technology used was not acceptable to me (like Fantasy books where one has to believe the magical system, in SciFi one has to find the technology believable, and I just couldn't take space ships that travel through suns, but actually do space battles with projectiles).
  The book would provide a really long read with its 1800 pages, but even for the price of 0.99 Euros I found it so awful, I didn't want to buy it.

  The Void Wraith series is an action-packed rollercoaster of incredible character development, well throughout plot developments, and a gripping narrative. I found that this series was written to emphasize the unique personalities of the characters, and it shows in amazing ways. You truly feel the dynamic between characters such as Nolan and Hannan, or Fizgig and Khar; where the dialogue propels you further and further into an already fantastically delivered universe. One of the best series I have read, to date, from any genre. I only wish I could know what happens to these lovable yet hardened characters next. Five stars is simply not enough!

  A somewhat different approach to galactic destruction.
  
  Although this series is still basically about earth leading a war to save mortals from evil minions the approach was
  Novel. But I still can't get over the name Fizgig.

  Captain Dryker and Commander Nolan command the UFC Johnston
  
  The Primo enforce a cease fire between the Human and Tigris. Neither is allowed to enter the other's sphere of influence. The Johnston is investigating disappearing colonies. All the missing colonies are located on planets with Primo Genitus ruins. There is no evidence of foul play, no bodies, no damage, just empty buildings and missing colonists. Dryker and Nolan, investigating the Primo ruins, discover a Primo data cube which contains information about the Void Wraiths and the connection to the missing colonists. What they discover drives them to enter Tigris space. Alone. No backup. A suicide mission to convince the Tigris of a danger to all life in the galaxy.
  
  I'm glad I read the Void Wraith Origins Series before starting this. I know the lead characters intimately and can't wait to start the action. It wasn't a long wait - the action started almost immediately. I love these characters and can't wait to see what they're going to come up with next! I already knew the background, so no long periods of adjustment - just dive right into the action. No flotation devices. Dive in head first and stir up the muck on the bottom until you see a way through. The storyline is outstanding. The characters are bigger than life and more colorful too! I'm going to love continuing this series! I know you will too!

  An ok way to pass time. I definitely would not have been happy with this series if I had to buy the books separately. I think together they tell a story that showed a good adventure. As individuals I would have felt like I was being forced to buy each separate chapter. I will mention I listened to the audio book so the pricing is probably much different. The end of the series is a bit lack luster and I did not feel like that was the actual end to it the big bads are kind of hanging out still around somewhere. Overall I would say it was generally written pretty well although the plot seemed kind of stale and the pacing was a bit off because of the way they broke it up.

  I often cheer for the bad guys, the good guys can be self righteous do-dahs. Not this time. The opposition are so bad I was gleefully looking forward to the slaughter of their children.
  
  It’s pulp. I know it, the author knows it, the book knows it. 1700 pages flew by. Corny alien names, bigger and bigger guns, ninja space cats. Things so big they are called ‘world striders’.
  
  Probably deserves more than 3 stars but I’ve read a lot by of good pulp recently so something had to give. I suppose calling the baddest space cat in the galaxy ‘The Mighty Fizgig’ is a crime of some kind.
  
  A good read if you like this sort of thing.

  What to say about this sage without giving to much away,right here gose nothing. if your a fan of the following "Bab 5" + "SG1" ++ "Battlestar Galactica" plus C. J. Cherryh's "Chanur" series & Robert A. Heinlein's "The Puppet Masters" - it has aspects of all of them, then you may or may-not like this sage - but i did so there ****. ;-}
  
  P.S. I hope at some point in the future that there will be more ?????

  Battle, battle, battle....
  
  This is a great sci fi series that involves military battles, politicians, enemies, allies, and world eradicating aliens. Nolan is a young human officer who has been demoted from the fast track to the 14th, a scraggly, underfunded bunch of misfits. But when the subterfuge and the invasion begin, Nolan is in the right place at the right time.

  I usually avoid military stuff, but the library had this and it was SciFi. It is kiddy stuff (maybe teenagers) with large cats, whalorians and huge baddies that digest people, and the ability of the heroes to escape from multiple impossible situations. It was pretty well-written though and I persevered through 1200+ pages, just. Would I do it again? No.

  Excellent epic space fantasy
  
  Huge story arc across all nine books. Just when you think the war is won, another twist brings the combat back. Well done, three dimensional characters who show growth and development through the series. Unique and interesting technology explored. A great read.

  I love great books.
  
  This book series reminds me of the sci-fi I read as a young teenager in the late 60's or early 70's. This story is non stop action from start to finish, space babes and monstrous aliens and hero's oh my!! Great reading and I'm going to read the rest of Chris Fox's books starting now.

  I am in book 4 now andi never want this series to end!! I am actually listening to the Audible audiobook version. I am pretty annoyed by the reader, because he doesn't know how to correctly inflect his sentences / words. It is irritating me, BUT the writing and storyline is FANTASTIC!!
  I NEED MORE CHRIS FOX!

  This is a good read. The problem I had with this set is the author was very long winded. I kept saying to myself "Get on with it already!". To much description, and then later the author tells it again and then again. PS: one time is enough. Good Reading Everyone!
