    I’ve been a fan throughout another series, but I love this universe, characters and plot even more. Sorry to not say more, but I need the next books NOW!!
  • An Excellent Tale

    This trilogy draws the reader in to such an extent that I am considering buying the next book in the series. With a fairly static cast from Book 1 and throughout, one gets to know Alisa, Leonidas, Mica, Yumi, Beck and Alejandro fairly well, as well as Yumi’s chickens. There is a bit more sexual tension than I prefer in my sci-fi but not enough to put me off continuing to read. At least it’s less romance and more straight-up attraction. Power, political intrigue, battles on land, in the air and in space all come into play, making this a series well worth your engaging.
  • Great space opera!

    The main character of the story is an amazing example of a real heroine. Modern times routinely discusses the need to portray women as heros and show case the power of role models for girls, but the manufactured characters typically presented are uninspiring, weak, and shallow. Alisa, our heroine of this universe of stories is none of that. She is everything a female hero should be; smart, strong of character, loyal, independent. Even the negative qualities make her human and thus more likable; fear, nosiness, stubbornness, loss and struggle. Aspects of human development are included that make her engaging and relatable to male and female readers including attractiveness, family, devotion, wit, sexiness, and desire. Without necessarily declaring an intent to create a role model from the beginning, and without pushing any agenda but her own, Buroker created a heroine that should be an inspiring role model for women and girls. By being strong, independent, and agenda free, a story is told that is far more engaging, impactful and lasting than modern pop-culture paper dolls masquerading as female role models. It has been a long time since I have read a story or a series I have so thoroughly enjoyed. I was very surprised by the frequency with which I laughed, and often laughed much harder than I expected. Thank you for creating a stimulating tale that I would be proud to read to my child before bed, especially if I end up with a daughter.

    I have really enjoyed the first three books in this series. Alisa is funny, sarcastic and sad by turns and sometimes all at once. Leonidas is interesting and mysterious. I enjoyed the short story prequel. Alejandro, Mica, Beck and Yumi all add to the story, helping to flesh it out and make it 3D. I read the first three, the prequel and the the teaser number four. I must go on. Perhaps it is the Stargazer compelling me against my will?

    I have several other books that she has written. They always hold your attention and make you wish there was more to read. This set is the same . It keeps your interest and makes it hard to put down until it's finished. All I have to say is " thanks for the great stories and please keep them coming.
  • Perfect hybrid

    A nice PG rated hybrid of Firefly and Star Wars. If I see the next installments I may grab them just to find out if she ever gets in the cyborg's pants. Although it seems as if there might be a disappointment in store for her there. I do wish the captain would stop with the constant quips, and her bodyguard would give up the BBQ sauce already.
