About the author
Michael Chatfield
69 books1,396 followersMichael Chatfield is a Canadian Army veteran and international bestselling author who writes the kind of books he always wanted to read—character-driven, gritty, tactical, and grounded in reality.
He doesn’t write one-dimensional killers wrapped in plot armor, charging toward an objective without thought. His stories are built for readers who want earned progression, tight, understandable logic, and realistic strategy. Every stat system has structure. Every decision is deliberate (except when there is Jaeger involved).
And the pacing? It's locked at two hundred percent. From alleyway brawls to starship armadas clashing over galactic sovereignty, from tactical dungeon assaults to city-states warring over a continent’s fate—Chatfield commits to every battle like it’s his last.
With millions of books and audiobooks sold, and tens of thousands of reviews his work spans LitRPG, military sci-fi, fantasy, and post-apocalyptic survival. He writes for readers who value systems that make sense, loyalty that lasts, and power that’s earned, not handed out.
Whether you're listening on a long drive, grinding through a shift, or up past midnight planning the next in-game raid—this is where you’ll find sagas to binge. Where strength is earned, logic rules, and camaraderie is forged in fire.

Non stop hard hitting action
Look, if you want to read a book that has constant action, then this is it. It could use better editing, because there are mistakes all over the place, but the story is good, fast paced, and extremely violent. To the Victor's go the spoils.

Booyah!
If you liked the Free Fleet series, this one will keep you from sleeping!
Set in the same universe as the Free Fleet, this is a precursor in time, showing the introduction of powered armor. Crude, joints exposed, under armored on the back, the powered armor swings the battle for Masoul into a win for the EMF rather than the suicide mission it could have been.
The characters continue to evolve. With the amount of combat they've seen comes the cynicism and hardness common to all soldiers. Also come the nightmares and depression. Michael Chatfield is the first author I've seen to address this issue. As an American veteran of combat, it's much appreciated.
My "keep you from sleeping" comment? It wasnt quite time for bed so I thought I'd read 2-3 chapters of Masoul. Shortly thereafter, my wife had awakened and came to where I was reading, "Do you know its 4 : 30 in the morning?" Uhh, no?

Yay and nay -SPOILERS BELOW
I had high hopes for This one .alas the book disappoints overall. There are some points character growth and emotional episodes, far too much unnecessary& silly sexual scenes that add nothing to the book, typo's, glaring plot holes. Tyler leaves his brother and troops to rush to save his stupid girlfriend. A hard-core military soldier does something so stupid and then Tyler gets regarded as a leader? Really? Alexis is a forced character, the author wants you to like her and he interested in her but she adds nothing except unnecessary sexual scenes. I just skip over the chapters dedicated to her.

Likable terrible?
Grammar was much better vs. Book 1. Everything else was worse. Erratic and confusing story. Peoples ranks change from one scene to the next, promoted and still referred to by old rank. Characters come and go with no introduction, some die and show up again in the next chapter. Pretty sure there was one that died three times. I love MilSciFi and this story has potential but until the author slows down and writes more carefully, free is the only price worth his work.

Cool storyline, not the best delivery
Fun series with a delivery below expectations. Poor grammar and spelling along with skipping details within scenes and off balance character developments leave this series much to be desired. A more methodical and descriptive style would serve the author well, like that of the authors of the Galaxy’s Edge series. But this universe is fairly cool and I’m excited to read more.

War is not glorious.
What I liked best with this book was that the people are more "human". Can you imagine a constant war? You fight , go to sleep and awake thirty years later to fight some more. At least this time the bad guys were REALLY bad guys! Still, I wonder if Mark will ever figure out he is fighting FOR the evil empire.

Not bad.
I actually read the second series first. Plot line is consistent over the books I’ve read so far. It’s a fairly quick read that’s is enjoyable.
The only thing I have to say bad about the books so far is the proof reading could be a little better. It’s is better in the second series.

I really enjoyed how the characters grew from the previous book so that we didn't just repeat the same story from the previous book at a new location.
Some minor editing issues didn't detract from my enjoyment

I'm enjoying the character development, but feel the sheer quantity of military actions is overwhelming the story to some degree.

good
Good second book, with world building, action and humour I’ve seen from the author. Looking forward to reading the next book.

Bad continuity in this book with missing sections, names and roles muddled up. Needs sorting out.
Disappointed, as per the title of this review. Worst parts were the first few chapters where Jerome's problems with his sergeant just get solved without the story actually being told, troopers appearing from nowhere or killed in one action or moved out mysteriously reappearing and being killed again, and finally nerva being mixed up with navid in the last few pages. Hope the next one is better.
