Odysseus Awakening by Evan Currie
5.0
As usual Evan Currie do not disappoint with this latest installment in the Odyssey One series. The book is a direct continuation of the previous one, The Warrior king. The Empire is no longer a mysterious unknown. Well they are of course not exactly a well known entity either but it is pretty clear who the enemy is, at least for now.
I have to say that a significant part of the story feels a bit like a repeat of the one in Warrior King. The same Empire commander takes a new stab at their mysterious new enemy, and we all know who that is of course. So again it falls on our favorite, shot first, shot some more and in the event someone is still alive then ask some questions…. maybe, hero to save the day again.
Okay, maybe I am exaggerating a wee bit but Captain Weston has gotten himself a bit of a reputation. A reputation that will be added to in this book due to certain, quite interesting, events. Events which are actually quite out of Captain Weston’s control.
The action, characters, dialogue etc. are well done as usual. l really like Evan Currie’s space combat. The book is named Odyssey Awakening and l assume this refers to a number of, shall we say, “incidents” that are happening throughout the book. I must say that I am really looking forward to see where the author goes with this. I suspect (hope) that the real awakening is yet to be fully revealed.
Even though the book felt a bit similar to the previous one it was a really good read and, as I wrote, l cannot wait to read the continuation of this story.
