If you are a fan of the Sten series, which I am, this series by Bunch is a real let down. Maybe he targeted the preteen male audience, and if I was still 11, I might have found it exciting. I will not even bother with a plot; all you need to know is a big tough guy roaming in space, lots of cheesy one-liners and ladies.

Kind of a Zen warrior for space opera. I like the story but feels like it could be better, maybe it needed to be longer.

[Jeremy · Rating 4 out of 5]

Well, I went through this one fast. A little too short. :( Basically, my review about the first book in the series tells everything I like about this book as well...so I'm not going to write it again.

Lazy, that's me.

This series was rather disappointing. The fighting system was never really explored. It was kind of a weird mystery with aliens.

[Lurple · Rating 2 out of 5]

This series by Bunch are basically romances novels for men: sex, violence, and not a lot of reading. If that's what you're looking for, you might like the series.
