Sci-fi as entertainment

Reviewed in the United States on March 12, 2021

I like quirky characters,and this a quirky character-driven book. The bad guys are insufferably bad. The good guys are annoyingly good. The cosmology and religion are new age and adamantly confusing. Ok the story line is quirky, too. The violence implicit in a war story is used as a vehicle to display the characters, and though there is blood and death those are not graphically portrayed. Warning: it's hard to stop reading. Prepare to lose some sleep.

Could Have Been

Reviewed in the United States on May 5, 2021

This could have been a great series. In fact, if Ellis, had just left out all the swearing, it would have been a great read! It was an interesting plot, but he chose to have way too much swearing so this is a warning to others who don’t like swearing in their reading to be aware that this series is full of it. I read 2 of the books, but decided enough was enough and didn’t read any more.

There were times when I thought the story had become too long, too complex, and had too many characters but eventually it all came together in the end.

Got drawn into the action and couldn't put it down. I found the views of the different people appropriate for the action. A must read or reread.

I love science fiction. This is a great humanizing story with all the bad and goods; plus stories of growth in everyone.

Action packed and spell binding. Enjoyed the fast pace and the characters. An unexpected twist in each story line kept my nose in the book.

Awesome Box Set: Star Guild Saga

Reviewed in the United States on December 30, 2020

This Box Set contains three books in this series. Titles include: Veil Rising, Backlash Rising, and Alliance Rising. Below is a review of one of the books to give you an idea of what you’ll find in this collection.

*** Reviewing “VEIL RISING (THE STAR GUILD SAGA - BOOK 1)” ***

The Veil Rising is the first book in “The Star Guild Saga” series. I enjoyed the story line that had good pacing to keep the reader’s interest up. Humans had been stolen from Earth and put into mines to work for aliens, their minds wiped to keep them from questioning or trying to break the cycle. When some find memories coming back, there might be hope for regaining freedom. There is not much time left, however, and archaeologist Ali Johnson needs to remember more about herself and the horrible figure that torments her in dreams.

It’s exciting to follow the twists and turns to see how everything will play out. The story is intriguing and raises lots of questions. And with this excellent set, you can read Books 1-3 at your leisure!

Incredible action space adventure with conspiracies to boot!

Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2021

Great series! I have enjoyed this other writers works such as the martian plague series and the Atlantis series, which I recommend. This series steps up with more intimate view of some of his characters from his original Star Guild series, which he refreshed here. This makes the series feel like a different series, and a huge improvement. It has strong human female leads such as Ali, Eden that overcome some strong incredible odds. The series deals with a portal to an advanced solar system run by the tyrannical Annuki, which the main character Ali is transported to. She is mind wiped and convinced she is from Eos, a planet that has poisonous gas, and mines in a Mech. Much is uncovered about this planet, conspiracies keeping the humans under control by the Annuki. Read this series, it's full of action adventure, and incredible character development!

Great Series

Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2021

I can't seem to find my review for book one, but here is my review for book 3! Obviously I like it.

Brandon Ellis – Alliance Rising

A good ending to the saga – and room for further adventures if inspiration strikes but the action is hot, the good guys good, the bad guys not, sadly many of the characters die but then what else is expected? The big question, is earth saved? I’ll leave for you to find out! If you have been reading all along you won’t be disappointed. Buy it!

A fast-paced read. Well thought out. I thoroughly enjoyed these novels.

Reviewed in the United States on January 10, 2021

This is a well-thought-out archaeologist inspired story with a thousand-year-old back story. Enslaved humans living and working in space, with no recollection of the Earth they were stolen away from. Mining ore on a far-flung planet, living and dying while under the thumb of a "Master Race" in an unnatural society that they are slowly starting to understand is not the real path that they should be on. This spark of rebellion caused by one Admiral, his fleet trapped and soon to be destroyed, sends out a distress message to the mythical "Space Templars." To his surprise the Space Templars arrive and save what is left of his fleet, utterly destroying the attacking ships. This is where the story really starts to build momentum.
