Those that fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

Two centuries after the Confederation staved off an invasion by the robotic Locusts, Captain Jack Romanoff faces mandatory retirement from an ever-shrinking Navy. Actions speak louder than words. The Confederation doesn’t think the Locusts are coming back.

But what if the politicians are wrong?

Snared in a scheme he doesn’t fully understand or trust, Jack gets his promotion, but it comes with a catch. With a crew of rejects, he must restore the most powerful warship humanity has ever built, after centuries of neglect and decay, before time runs out.

If he fails, humanity might not need to worry about history repeating itself ever again.

You Won't Go Wrong With This New Series

Reviewed in the United States on February 20, 2022

Verified Purchase

Excellent start for a new series by Chaney and Mixon. ‘The Last Hunter’ involves Captain Jack Romanoff, a Naval captain soon to be forcibly retired from the Confederation navy. The Confederation hasn’t had a major battle in the past two hundred years, and it shows. Gradually rotting and increasingly corrupt, the Navy is now a shell of what it used to be, especially when it comes to absolute naval power. Gone now are the old warships of the past; the Hunter class, replaced by smaller, more efficient, and cheaper battle cruisers. It's all down now to the forward thinking of Jack’s father, the previous Grand Admiral of the Confederation Navy, and his vision of needing both the old ships that won the last war, but are slowing rotting away, and his son doing the impossible. Excellent writing, and character development is superb. The story moves very well as would be expected by these two fine writers. Looking forward to seeing the rest of the series as it comes out, as ‘The Last Hunter’ is an excellent introduction. I was provided an ARC for an honest review, but as good as it was I purchased the book anyway. Gotta support those authors who do such good work.

Wait Wut???

Reviewed in the United States on April 12, 2022

I enjoyed the first part of the book, mostly. The big problem comes near the end.

You don’t go to the races with a horse with three legs, like you don’t race a car with only 3 wheels and no carburetor.

You don’t rush off to fight a starship with only 5% of its defensive armaments, no offensive weapons at all, half the reactors down, no trained crew, and untested propulsion. How is that supposed to make a difference?

No captain would commit such an incompetent, unforgivably stupid act.

And then rush directly into battle? For what possible reason? It’s unexplained.

You can’t plot armor this into any kind of positive outcome, the stupid just beggars belief. I am so disappointed.

4 And Even Occasionally Foolhardy Stars

Reviewed in the United States on April 29, 2022

Verified Purchase

The Last Hunter is the first book of the series by J. N. Chaney and Terry Mixon.

I was honestly expecting this book to conclude on a 3 star rating. There was simply too much overly complicated jargon filling every inch of space, interspersed or rather overlapping with long winded diatribes. The amount of surprise I felt when they legitimately encountered Locusts before the end of this first book, is wide-eyed at least.

There are some plot holes here. I do not believe at any point in humanity's future we would fracture far enough off our gun-toting, warmongering nature to allow our military force, even in unrealistic sci-fi hypotheticals, to reach this level of fustercluck. There would of course be measurable amounts of corruption, something likely similar to what is presented in this book. But the author shouldn't have picked humanity as the species that is showcased in this series. We're more the "conquer all universes" type, let's be honest here.

Commodore Jack Romanoff has been a fun character to follow. He possesses just the right amount of morality and a reasonable amount of morally ambiguous buffer to keep the story this side of interesting. His interactions with his father are especially enjoyable. I think the retired Admiral General takes great pleasure in any form of amicability he can elicit from his son, given their relationship parameters. He doesn't honestly seem too bad a guy, which I'm sure the author will no doubt manifest some great misdeeds in the coming sequels. Especially the amount of power coming into his grasp given the current situation.

This will indeed be an interesting journey. Life aboard the Delta Orionis is going to increasingly complicate with the addition of more civilians. Especially ones that didn't apply to be a part of the war effort. Given that our Commodore didn't go out of his way to catalogue all of the ones aboard his ship to make function possible before joining the war effort, we can only hope someone saw it crucial to alleviate this discrepancy. Or I imagine everything will be failing pretty magnificently very soon.

Who wants to guess the douche nozzle that took over command of Hawkwing is going to attempt wresting control of either Delta Orionis or one of the other Hunter-class ships very soon?

Captivating Story and Characters!

Reviewed in the United States on February 21, 2022

Verified Purchase

What an exhilarating start to an entertaining and imaginative science fiction alien invasion series. The writing and storytelling is brilliant. I especially enjoyed the exceptionally developed characters which are flawed, relatable and interesting. The interaction and dialogue between the characters brought them to life and made them believable. The plausible plot is filled with intrigue, suspense, deceit, betrayal and lots of action. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and eagerly await book 2 - Bonds of Blood!

A good spin on a classic storyline

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 9, 2022

Verified Purchase

This book is based on a very well trodden storyline. I call it the 'Brubaker story' as the first film I saw that used it was a 1980 film called Brubaker, staring Robert Redford. Basically a Manager/officer/leader is sent to take over and run a disfunctional facility/ship/platoon/prison where surly/rebellious/disrespectful/undisciplined and corrupt and dangerous staff/soldiers/guards must be brought to heel and the whole thing brought back up to acceptable standards. Often the leader/officer has been subjected to this as a sort of punishment for a perceived offense to someone in charge. Corruption and violence are all to be contended with.
The most recent I have read on this theme is the Siobhan Dunmoore series by Eric Thomson and pure pleasure they were too.
This book is not up to that standard BUT was a good fun read. Our central hero, Jack Romanoff has less problems with the defective crew and more problems with a corrupt Admiralty. Oh, and his "ship" is a gigantic hollowed out asteroid, fitted out with literally thousands of defensive lasers BUT has been effectively left to rot in orbit around the planet Faust, used mainly as a museum for over 100 years.
Romanoff is armed with unparalleled luck and using his discretion over which rules to apply and which to ignore, he goes about trying to bring the vessel up to fighting standards with a 1% crew and some old war re-enactment/enthusiasts. The war in question was against the unflinchingly aggressive "locusts", an alien force that attacks using thousands of small robotic laser firing space drones that cannot be bargained with and will never stop destroying human space vessels.
There are some terrible glaring holes in this story, some of which may be clarified in the subsequent books. Hopefully.
What we do get is Brubaker in space. Not a lot of Sci Fi, but a pleasing story of honourable officer bringing his crew on side, he "ship" gradually up to working standard while tackling the corruption in the Admiralty.
There are few surprises but some very nice threads that make the read enjoyable.
My main gripe is actually that I read this book before book 2 was released. Now I have to wait. hmmph!

A good, fun story that left me wanting more. Great characters combine with a decent storyline to deliver a book that stands out from the crowd.

You could do a lot worse that give this one a try…
