Publisher's summary

A mysterious entity may be the key to a starship’s survival - or a terrifying new threat - as the Odyssey One series continues...

The Empire has set its sights on its next target: human Terrans. As effective allies of the Priminae, the denizens of Earth have proven themselves enemies to the Empire, and now the Imperial forces know more about the Terran home world than ever before.

The battle for the planet’s survival will see the Odysseus first into the breach. But more perils loom for Commodore Eric Weston and his comrades. They’re at odds with the political conflicts dividing Earth’s government and challenged by the mysterious presence haunting their vessel - its intentions unclear, and the extent of its powers unknown.

As the Empire brings the battle home, the crew of the Odysseus will need to determine whether this entity will support them in their fight for survival, or prove to be another dangerous foe.

There’s no turning back...and the only way forward may be a pathway to doom.

If I Wanted Fantasy....

I was really enjoying Evan Currie’s Odyssey series - that is, until his “science fiction” morphed into “fantasy,” starting with “Odysseus Awakening” and becoming even more glaringly fantastic in “Odysseus Ascendant”. I’m not quite half way through the book and I’m thinking, “Give me a BREAK!” I’ve been HOPING that the new fantasy characters would turn out to be a mortal alien species, but naming one “Gaia” and implying that she and the others similar to her were possibly immortal, well, that has really put me off.

Turning Sci-go to fantasy

Enjoyed the first book. Reader was an issue on the others. Delving into fantasy is z distraction to me.

A great military Sci Fi

you will see people complaining that it is a fantasy now and that they came for sci fi, but everything in the book has a possible future. just because they dont think Gestalts can be a thing they say it is fantasy. it is amazing and truly enjoyable.

Good recovery from previous book

Overall this entry in the Odyssey series was pretty good. It was a clear step up from the disaster that was the last book. There were multiple battles (although small) that kept the story going instead of 1 long drawn out battle. The story also answered some questions that were brought up in previous books. Some downside to the book is that the author seems to ignore pieces of the story that were developed in previous books as well as not give enough information about certain aspects, is as if he has to hit a minimum number of pages and just gives up when he does. This book also just took a large time jump to skip past some smaller battles but didn't even talk about what occurred in those battles. Some numbers would be nice, how many are in the enemy force after the previous 7-8 battles, you've been thinning out their forces but don't let the reader know to what effect. As I said, this was much improved over the last couple of entries in the series, so hopefully that is a good sign as to whats next.

Excellent performance of a fun and humorous story

A good next step in the saga, more peeling of the story's onion. I am looking forward to the next book in the sequence. I'm going to miss the time I have spent with DeVries' voice in my head when the saga comes to an end.

Back to good

Book seven is much more well rounded with multiple battles and awesome tech. We get to see a lot more of the transition tech in this newest story! Some have complained about the introduction of fantasy characters. I found their participation in the story to add to the mystery and plot, with a clear line drawn with their capabilities.

A short, but powerful, continuation

Currie delivers a fast and furious addition that definitely earns its place in the series.

Taking a break until two or more books come out

David deVries did it again combining, found myself sweating whenever the action was packing as if I was onboard the flag ship. I am not going to be the douche that spoils it for anyone but my advice will be if you aren’t patient, wait till next book comes out. War is brewing out in the black.

solid meh/5

The narator is quite good. Currie's pacing however, it leaves a lot to be desired. For the ending of a 7 book serries it leaves a lot of plot holes and very little charactet development. Action scenes continue to grow in scale, with each one having to top the previous in scale and carnage. It gets old fast, by the end I was just not invested. it isnt bad, its worth a credit, but I won't be relistening to this serries ever again.
