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.

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?

Great intro to a new series!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 18, 2023

Verified Purchase

Didn't know what to expect but the book came on strong grabs your attention quickly. If you fan of the genre there wasn't a lot of new tropes here but the characters were likeable in the military interaction of the main character were believable. It's a simple read but it was enjoyable and I look forward to the second book I recommend it.
Simple fun good read.

The Last Hunter is a great read and the beginning of what promises to be a awesome series. I'd recommend Chaney & Mixons work to any syfi fans or Michael Anderle, LMBPM fans.

This first book in the series is solid and entertaining. A Sci-Fi mystery on a military spaceship with plot twists and turns the reader will find captivating!

slow beginning

This book starts out with a lot of dialogue and background. It picks up the pace as you get into it though and the background is necessary to understand where the book is going.

Kind of... lumpy?

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 12, 2022

Verified Purchase

7/10 I'm trying to figure out how to describe this book. The story is interesting and the characters are all well written. I cared about what was happening throughout the book.
But.
There's a lot of bureaucratic shuffling around and political machinations going on which require explanation but serves to drag down the pace each time. The first few pages and even chapters are rather dry. The characters are relatable so it's not off-putting but I was beginning to wonder when the story was going to really start.
It's an interesting universe and treacherous political web our hero is tossed into. The plot devices are all familiar and common but done believably enough to hold together.
Now I just have to decide if I'm going to dive into book two or wait for the series to be completed and start over then.

Book 1

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 8, 2023

Book 1 had errors throughout and was a fun read. There is a lot going on in book 1 to set up for the series. The characters are developed well enough and the plot is pretty solid in it's entirety. With all the characters active and passively in the book mentioned it is sometimes hard to keep track of everyone. I did enjoy the book and look forward to the next one.

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!

Good, but silly in places

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on December 22, 2022

Verified Purchase

This is quite a good story with interesting characters, but suffers from some silliness in places. The fact that a commander wouldn’t, as soon as he took charge, have a communicator or tablet supplied so he could find his way around is beyond belief. We can do that nowadays so to believe that a society that had invented quantum drives wouldn’t is a little foolish.

Excellent start to this series

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on July 20, 2022

Verified Purchase

This is an excellent start to this series. The story has been done before, obsolete ship, crew of misfits and criminals coming together as the last hope for humanity against the alien horde. However the writing is crisp and smart, the characters are good if a little lacking in depth but the story is the main driver. I liked the writing a lot and am Looking forward to more of these. The narration is very good Jeffrey Kafer does an excellent job, the narration does the story justice.. The book ends on a cliff hanger but a good one. Highly recommended.

Average.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on December 22, 2022

Verified Purchase

The writing is, in places, a little 'clunky' with a distinct impression of trying to increase the word count (eg do you really have to write 'small ship bay X' every. single. time?, 'bay X' would likely suffice and improve flow). That said, it's not a bad story, the characters & plotlines are decent enough (if somewhat stereotypical/transparent) and I've managed to read through to book 4 without giving up through frustration so far.

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…
