How customer reviews and ratings work

Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.

5.0 out of 5 starsJames Rosone Rise of the Republic Series Books
Reviewed in the United States ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ on January 17, 2023
I picked up James Rosone's, "Into the Stars" and after (7) Books on the Series, I'm Eagerly awaiting the final 8th and final book in the Series. After I read this 1st book, I wanted more and I quickly ordered the 2nd book. I think his writing is clear and to the point. He makes you believe in his character's. The plot is very rich with a lot of excitement. I'm not really into reading "trilogy" books. I loose interest quickly after the 1st book in other book series. But the Rise of the Republic series keep's you wanting for more. Mr. Rosone does steal a bit from Star Trek,& Battle Star Galactica. A lot of using the same words, terminology and some pieces of the plot. But what I like about this series is that Rosone keeps changing the course of the plot and in doing so, keeps your interests so you really want to order the next book. His writing made me feel that I'm reading an historical account which already happened but hasn't. It doesn't make you feel you're reading pure science fiction.
I would really like to see this series turn into a Netflix or HBO Series. With the right studio and actors it would probably be another noteworthy and memorable series to the likes, like Star Trek , Battle Star Galactical or Star Wars, etc. if they keep to the original story which is in the books.
Highly Recommend the "Rise of the Republic" Series by James Rosone.

Reviewed in the United States ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ on January 25, 2023
I think the story had a good start. However, the pace is a little too fast. Seems like the plot ended up with at least three subplots and not enough details to fill in the story. I can imagine if the author worked on details to make the story juicier. Then it would be a longer and more complete story. Also, throwing in a random romance is such unnecessaryโ€ฆyou either follow through or donโ€™t do it. Iโ€™m a little curious about the next one in the series but Iโ€™m not in any hurry to do it.

Not bad. A little choppy at times, but some really cool tech, and description of aliens. I'm buying the second book to see where the story goes!.

A bit slow off the start. Itโ€™s unclear if this universe is the same universe as their world war series.
They take a while to universe build and develop characters. Iโ€™m not sure where theyโ€™re going with a couple characters. I guess weโ€™ll see In the next book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good first shot at a new genre
Reviewed in the United States ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ on September 24, 2020

This is a departure for these guys. They usually do military thrillers, and I have read a good number of them. They are very good, so I am not surprised at this one. I actually probably read more sci-fi than other things and this hits the spot. Along with the suspected space opera, there is plenty of military action, but what is unique is the entry of a new theory. I have only read the first one, so I'm waiting to see how they handle the issue of the Sumerians. I will say they unnecessarily gave that one away a couple of chapters early. Didn't need to do that. The 4 instead of 5 is cause they need new editors. A surprisingly distracting error that a simple global search and replace would fix. I'm absolutely sure it's FTL, but FLT shows up probably half the time, and it's Very annoying.

4.0 out of 5 stars Slow to start and left hanging.
Reviewed in the United States ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ on May 1, 2021

It took a long time to get into this story. Lots of details going in. Also different things going on a side from the main story. It got interesting a little over halfway. Problem is, by the end if the book, some side stories are never clarified and the main story ends with the reader hanging. I'm not sure if I'm interested enough to buy the next installment of the series.

A little like WW2 in space, but the. characters are pretty good and there is the mystery of other humans out there in the galaxy to keep the series going for a few more books

4.0 out of 5 stars What's with the typos?
Reviewed in the United States ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ on August 23, 2020

This is my fifth book from Mr. Rosone, and I've enjoyed them all. He spins a good yarn that held my attention, making me eager to get back to it. I deducted one star because of typos. In a previous life I worked as a tech book editor and became sensitive to grammatical and factual errors. For example, in "Into the Stars" he introduces the concept of faster than light travel with the abbreviation FTL. Then throughout the book he frequently uses FLT as well as FTL for this concept. It made me wonder what word processor he uses.

Thrilling story. I like the premises also the characters. The have depth, and feelings. The miss their loved ones and suffer their failures. The aliens are a bit one dimensional but I am sure we will learn more in the next few books.

Definitely fast paced. I didn't really like some of the first person violence. But I do enjoy the tech and strategy narrative.
