A review by susanatherly
Archangel One by Evan Currie
3.0
I won this in a Goodreads Giveaway.
Unbeknownst to me, this is a new sequence in an existing ongoing series. It is a military Sci Fi story about a disgraced admiral and a team of volunteers who are tasked with going undercover as mercenaries and pirates to infiltrate vassel civilizations on the fringes of the Empire. Lots of space battles. A little political intrigue.
Most of this book was world building and explaining tech and tactics. Not a lot of plot. Maybe if I'd read the prior novels in the series, it would be enough to make me want to continue. Maybe I would have been more engaged with the characters. As it was, I was more engaged in appreciation of the various kinds of space ships. They were pretty cool.
If you like well written space battles, this is the series for you.
