5.0 out of 5 starsEntertaining and enjoyable
Reviewed in the United States on October 23, 2018
I hate writing reviews, but I know Authors live and die by them, so I will make a feeble effort here, but I must point out a couple things about my reviews.
1. I am not going to outline the plot.
2. I am not going to comment on the Characters in the story.
3. I will tell you if I enjoyed the story or not and if I would recommend it or not.

So with the above in mind I must say that I not only enjoyed the book, but it fed my addiction to this series and I highly Recommend it to anyone readed that has gotten this far in my review, you should love it.

I waited until I had finished Book 6 in the Series to write any reviews, so you will see this at least four more times and I recommend all 6 books in the Series.

3.0 out of 5 starsThat's what she said
Reviewed in the United States on September 23, 2017
I was liking the series pretty well through the third book; for light space opera cash cow sci-fi it really wasn't bad. This one isn't very good.
Webb changes tone drastically in Independence, choosing to insert uncharacteristic sexual references and profanity-- not for realism, but for bulk, I feel. Sexuality and cursing certainly have their place in fiction, but Webb brings no passion of his own to their depiction here, and both come across as squalid and tiresome. It's not authorly.
I was trusting Webb to do better than this, and I will not be going on with the series. However, many readers will find the book and the storyline engaging enough, and having seen worse, will not mind the drab graffiti so much.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good book with a few issues
Reviewed in the United States on July 16, 2019
Verified Purchase
The start of the book is a bit off putting. One expected a very close continuation to the last series however a lot of time has gone. The author's introduction to this concept definitely leaves a lot to be desired. However once the book picks up steam it becomes enjoyable, which is almost midway in the book. It definitely makes you work for the good parts. I lacks a little of the polish of the other books but I assume it had to be completed in a shorter time frame. There is a person called Qwerty I found that that cheapened the delivery as it broke immersion for me. I was flabbergasted that an author would call a character that maybe it is just me.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another good one.
Reviewed in the United States on July 12, 2020

This story takes place around 30 years after the previous book in this series. Captain Tim Granger is still, for all intents and purposes, falling into a black hole having just passed the event horizon. His action was a key part of the victory over the Swarm. Humanity has begun a new religion - The Grangerites - where Tim is God's messenger. Admiral Shelby Proctor has been called back to active duty because a new threat. There is also a bit of political unrest as the United Earth government begins to crumble. And so it goes - lots of action, space battles, friends gained and lost. Looking forward to reading the next book in the series.

4.0 out of 5 stars New Nick Webb Series Delivers!
Reviewed in the United States on November 3, 2016
Verified Purchase
This new series is a provides a good bridge between familiar favorite characters and a set of new characters (both good guys & villians!). It is 30 years later and Admiral Proctor is back where she belongs, on the deck of a capital ship, and I for one was glad to see that she did have a conscience after all about how she treated good old Tim Grainger when she took command of his baby back in the day. As a fan of Nick Webb's style, a good stew of believable characters and plausible military future tech, I was glad to see a good start to a new trilogy. You are in store for some interesting twists and some thoughtful moments - I am looking forward to Defiance!

5.0 out of 5 stars Intriguing science fiction story
Reviewed in the United States on November 24, 2019
Verified Purchase
The story line is about the same as other science and space written by Nick Webb, but this followed the earlier versions of the legacy fleet. The character pick up thirty years after a great battle where alien technology met greed and military forces bent on political gain. Now this book is one that you can’t put down until finished. It’s a very good story worth the time to read, but it leads you to the next book, which carries the main characters into more intriguing story.

5.0 out of 5 stars Such a great series
Reviewed in the United States on November 24, 2016

I really enjoyed this book. I'll say up front that I'm not really into political intrigue etc but besides that aspect I enjoyed this book. I found the writing to be good with few editing errors. I also like the detail and real science (theoretical of course) that the author provides. The characters draw you in, and develop well. This series has been enjoyable from the start. I would recommend it as a series to anyone who likes a good space opera. I don't mind that they play into one another. It seems many reviewers find that distasteful. I see nothing wrong with writing books with the purpose of creating a series.

5.0 out of 5 stars Each one gets me hooked!
Reviewed in the United States on February 10, 2022

Some of these stories start out rough and I'm tempted to stop even if I always finish the book, but go on to the next? Then by the time I'm done, I've bought the next... Until I've finished the series. I just wished it could be more pg-13. Really don't need some of that crap in the story. It would lose nothing without it!

4.0 out of 5 stars Not much about the ISS Independence
Reviewed in the United States on January 14, 2019
Verified Purchase
I liked the space battles and the new alien twist! But, given the name Independence, I expected there to be more descriptive actions from the bridge. This book was more about the political intrigue that had taken root since Tim Granger defeated the Swarm in the last book. Not bad, just not what I expected, since early on, there were hints about the super new technological capabilities of ISS Independence (that were, in my opinion, not sufficiently explored).

Jas PTop Contributor: Star Wars
5.0 out of 5 stars Webb is Exceptional in the First of the new Legacy Series – this is a Must Read!
Reviewed in the United States on November 4, 2016
Verified Purchase
This is the first in the series following on from the Legacy FLEET Trilogy, which saw Tim Granger and his crew battle the Swarm as they tried to destroy humanity. Eventually Granger was able to defeat them, but at the cost of billions of lives, not just human, but Alien as well. This story picks up over 50yrs later, when a new threat has been discovered.
With Granger gone, the IDF turn to Shelby, now in her 70s, but a living legend after having fought next to Granger for so long, and with her expertise on all things Xeno.
Webb has taken the image from the front cover of the magnificent starship, and given it life with his words. He has then taken it to war with a new enemy and given us a brand new and entertaining story that you will not be able to put down.
As well as Admiral Shelby Proctor being back, there are a few other old faces (the best being Ballsy, but there are a few oldies), and so I don’t give up spoilers, I won't give names, there are a lot of new characters to carry the flag.
And they do it well. Webb has done a wonderful job of transferring from his original trilogy to this series without having to drag out a retirement village like the latest Star Wars movie, or giving us a completely new cast to get used to. Instead there is a great mix, and Proctor in the middle firing curses at anybody and everybody to keep them on their toes.
Webb uses his real life Science background to provide a backing for giving us some awesome tech in these books that is realistic, well described, and not so drawn out that you start flipping ahead. He also introduces some really interesting concepts that he can actually back with real science, and again, in an understandable way. This makes his books both interesting and readable, giving them an edge over some of the others.
Overall Legacy Fleet was an exceptional Series, and was one of my favourite, and this is a brilliant addition. I can’t wait for Defiance.
If you enjoyed the Legacy Fleet series, you will love this. This is Webb at his best, and should not be missed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Mystery
Reviewed in the United States on December 24, 2021

A mystery inside of a mystery, what could be better. I normally have books and movie endings figured out quickly. But these stories have enough twist that you are still surprised in the end.
