Jason Burke was a man hiding from himself in a small cabin high in the American Rocky Mountains when his simple, quiet life was shattered one night by what he first assumed was an aviation mishap. But when he investigates the crash, what he finds will yank him out of his self-imposed exile and thrust him into a world he could have never imagined. He suddenly finds himself trapped on a damaged alien spacecraft and plunged into a universe of interstellar crime lords and government conspiracies, along the way meeting strange new friends… and enemies. As he struggles to find his way back home he is inexorably drawn deeper into a world where one misstep could mean his death. Or worse. He desperately wants to get back to Earth, but it may be the end for him...or is it just the beginning?

Now, with that said, I just got done reading Omega Rising and it is one of those rare books that I just could not put down and I read the darn thing in basically one reading. I greatly enjoyed this book, I really like the characters that are being formed and look forward to reading more about them as Joshua has them evolve. I gave this book a rating of 5 as I really do think this book deserves it. I highly recommend this book for an afternoon of very enjoyable reading, whether sitting by the fire in the winter or just sitting on the beach soaking in the summer sun. Do yourself a favor and read this book. Thank you sir for the enjoyable read and I look forward to reading the rest of the adventures you have in store for this crew.
I just finished Omega Rising for maybe the 4th or 5th time. Every time is just as enjoyable as the first. More or less, the plot is about a human, Jason Burke, who goes on an adventure across the galaxy, gathering up a team of aliens, on a spaceship he stowed aboard by accident. The book captures the morals and failures of the human race thru Jason's character. I like him because he isn't perfect, and doesn't always make the right decisions or handle things the right way, but his intent is always good within his perspective of life. I did not serve in the military, but I get a sense of what people who served in war zones might be going thru, and how they are trained to lead, despite their pain.
The other characters are very unique themselves, with their own personalities. it is easy to distinguish one character from another, how they feel, what they might say, what they might do. (Some books I read and i can't tell who said what unless I focus on the "Jason said..." part.)
I think my only criticism of the book, if you can even call it that, is the use of itallics here and there to communicate what Jason is thinking/feeling. sometimes I like it, sometimes I find it annoying. I understand it is to help with the main character's development. In later books the thoughts were better conveyed with Jason actually speaking out loud.
Overall, a very good read and very enjoyable. I'm always waiting for the next book of the series to come out.
Top reviews from other countries

Along the way and during his (obviously successful) adventures, our hero comes across five other sentient beings with which he ends up forming his Omega Force, a band of private contractors (a polite word for mercenaries) who will take on lucrative contracts to help the weak against all sorts of oppression.
The story is not exactly original. There are few surprises, if any, but it is nevertheless quite enjoyable and easy to read. There is also some rather interesting action and features, such as the gigantic cargo belonging to galactic crime lords and buried within an asteroid which they have hidden their treasures. Do not, however, expect everything to be “realistic” or even plausible, because this is likely to spoil your pleasure. Instead, relax and you will spend a few entertaining hours in reading an uncomplicated adventure story – the first of a series - which is better written that what I was expecting…
