Vast Frontiers: 6 Book Sci-Fi Boxset
This limited edition box set contains six best-selling science fiction novels spanning galactic worlds, alien invasions, and post-apocalyptic landscapes. Grab it now at a special launch price.
The Atlantis Ship
A legendary enemy attacks...
Galactic peace is threatened...
Unless one man can find and stop the Atlantis ship.
Carson Mach, a former war hero turned freelancer, seeks the biggest payday of his life when he’s tasked to hunt down a ghost ship that has echoed through the centuries. The legendary Atlantis ship has become a reality, appearing at the Commonwealth frontier, and obliterating an orbital station. Somehow, Mach must find a way to solve an ancient mystery if he’s to succeed where everyone else before him has failed.
The Terminal War
A millennium into the future.
In a galaxy far from Earth.
We were not prepared for the Terminal War.
Billions of lives are at risk as enemy forces mass on the frontier of the Commonwealth. If the planet Terminus, the center of all the Commonwealth’s technology, falls, we will lose everything, and there will be no way back. Carson Mach rides again in an attempt to save the galaxy.
Critical Dawn
Some mysteries should stay buried.
A centuries old plan unfolds.
Archaeologists Pippa Quinn and Charlie Jackson find advanced technology in undisturbed 16th Century graves. A portent, the discovery precedes thousands of giant sinkholes opening up across the globe marking the start of an invasion. Humanity will have to fight for survival, sacrificing the life they’ve known to protect Earth from an ancient and previously dormant enemy, and even that might not be enough...
Critical Path
Destroying the croatoan’s seat of power has grave consequences...
The world faces its final breath unless bitter enemies can work together.
The planet is recovering after Denver and his group managed to stamp out the immediate alien threat. But when shocking information comes to light, his team set off on an immediate mission north to stop the impending destruction of Earth.
Code Breakers
In a post-apocalyptic future, humanity survives within a single city run by a shadowy benefactor known only as The Family. Each week the death lottery claims more lives and Gerry Cardle, head of the lottery, inexplicably finds himself next on the list.
Sixth Cycle
In the blink of an eye, the world changed.
Danger lurks around every corner.
Captain Jake Phillips wakes in his crash landed craft and finds Earth transformed into a frightening new world. He faces two immediate threats that will test his survival skills to the limit.

Interesting read
Great story with good character development. But who ever proofed this story was apparently skimmed the book.. Words are missing, in the wrong place, or make no sense at all. I have found this is common in E-books. It is distracting and takes away from the over all reading enjoyment.

Así da gusto leer novelas increíblemente largas (ironía).
Seis novelas en un solo paquete, a un dólar el conjunto. ¿Qué se puede esperar de esto? Pues eso mismo: trucos y poca calidad. Lo jodido es que me quedan cuatro paquetes más de estos por leer.
Las dos primeras novelas se salvan de la quema, pero por los pelos. Forman parte de una serie, pero tienen su principio y su fin, como los capítulos de Colombo, aunque los personajes presentan una continuidad.
Estamos ante dos space opera ligeritas (muy ligeritas), con abstracción de las más evidentes leyes de la física. Los disparos láser son instantáneos, la comunicación, también. Uno puede llamar a su "jefe", que está a tropecientos mil años luz de distancia, desde una cueva, pero sin embargo no puede comunicarse con su empleador, que está en la entrada de la gruta.
No obstante, se pueden leer como obras de aventuras y para pasar el tiempo, y de paso observamos el crecimiento de la habilidad del escritor. La segunda está mucho mejor escrita que la primera. Pero nada más.
Las dos siguientes forman parte de una trilogía, y el último volumen, que tendrás que comprar aparte, está a más de cuatro dólares, y las críticas de las tres novelas no han sido muy buenas, con sospechas incluso de haber sido manipuladas... Así que no las he leído.
La quinta vuelve a formar parte de una trilogía que ha recibido incluso peores críticas que las dos anteriores, y encima están a precios exorbitados (para ser indies de esta calidad). La críticas incluso acusan de personajes planos y de faltas en la escritura.
Y por fin la última. La última va más o menos de vampiros, no forma parte de ninguna serie pero se le acusa incluso de faltas de ortografía, sintaxis y un lío de un par de cojones con los tiempos verbales.
Reslutado: leídas dos de seis.

Terribe editing, misspellings, typos, erstwhile grammar were legion.
I found myself more and more disgusted by the stilted English which interfered with plot. I thought ideas fine, but time was off for all characters to accomplish deeds.
