A Great Series Ending
I hated to see this series end I liked it so much. The characters were like old friends. The endless battle with aliens just to survive, then to surpass and improve on their technology is fascinating. The wonderful AIs! I actually wept when one of my favorites died. David VanDyke never lets me down.
If you like good science fiction this series is for you.

Interesting series
I have enjoyed reading this series of books. We have followed a crew of humans first looking at starting a new colony. To seeing them joining and forging a new alliance with different aliens. Together they look at freeing their world's.

Conquest and empire
Good read but didn't hold your interest as with the other books. Kind of glad the series is over. Best of luck.

Super
5 stars are warranted if only on the merits of narrative longevity. The assertion of self determination as a critical component of society
is great.

Enjoyed the series
Looks like this is the last one for now.
Enjoyable series. AIs seem very anthropomorphic, but how else could you right about them interestingly.
