Wild Space: Onslaught

Wild Space Series 1 #1

by Jason M. Brooks

Since 2152, the nations of Earth have been settling the stars throughout the galaxy. They started building new worlds and civilizations on planets close by. But the visionaries, the brave, the true explorers, pushed out farther. They pushed out to a region known as Wild Space. In 2454, Earth has finally developed an engine that can transverse the galaxy in record time. A twenty year voyage can now be done in six months. Captain John Avery is given command of the Earth Star Ship Independence with a mission to go into the Wild Space and make contact with Earth's ancestors. They leave on a mission of peace. But what they find is hostility. The Independence is viciously attacked and many of the crew die. When the smoke clears, the ship is left in ruins and the moral of the crew has been destroyed. Stranded in Wild Space with no way to return to Earth, their mission of exploration has now become a mission of survival. This isn't your parent's Star Trek. This is Wild Space. AUTHOR Wild Onslaught is the first book in a planned series of books. These books are novelette's that are meant to be a short read. Perfect for commutes, while waiting for an appointment, or if your reading time is limited. They are written in the idea of the old serials from years past. The adventures continue on and develop like those in a television series. Wild Onslaught is the first book in the first series of Wild Space. Enjoy!

Not bad

This was one of those series that you aren't sure what to think yet . I like the concept of this series but I think that it took too long to explain what was going on in one battle. The way it was explained in the book this was the best ship they had at the time but they only fired 4 shots back and the story seemed to drag on when the reader is sitting there and saying tell them to jump or whatever kind of special engine you have in it you fool and get out of there. Oh well there's a preview of the next book at the end and it sounds like it gets better. I like it or I really want to and all the things that you need are in place just needs to be more action at a faster pace and less dragging it out. I think this series is a few copies ahead of the one I just read so I will give Mr Brooks a chance and see what comes of this series.

It wasn't the strongest book by Jason M. Brooks, but I enjoyed the premise. This being a series of books, I can't wait to see what is going to happen next. I will be reading the next book for sure. No doubt about it.
