Imperium Spacemage #5
Commander Spacemage
Never underestimate the capacity of a plant to learn something new from a dinosaur.
Bud is getting a crash course in how to fight a war all on his own.
At the same time, the needs of his homeworld and the Imperium distract him from the goal of finding where the Rawtenuga entered the core galaxy from.
Being Thorn’s heir has both positive and negative aspects to it, and as the war with the Rawtenuga keeps getting bigger, so do the demands from the civilian side of his life.
The Imperium’s eternal problem is not having enough ships to fight both the wars it now has. And civilians also want new ships.
But as Bud’s life gets more complicated, the Imperator starts pushing him to fill in the gaps.
Jon knows what Bud’s been up to, approves of what he’s doing, but has no idea of the scope of it. No-one does.
But does Bud really know what he’s doing?
And should a lowly Commander be getting this much responsibility, even if he is Commander Spacemage?

(New info added at the bottom, in response to feedback and reviews.)
Timothy Ellis lives on the Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia; where he constantly battles with his cat for possession of his desk chair, Daleks do guard duty, and he keeps his sonic screwdriver next to his lightsaber and wand. Now there is a female Doctor Who, he eagerly awaits the sound of the Tardis materializing in his house.
He has spent his life reading and watching science fiction and fantasy, and has been playing Space Genre computer games since he used to be smuggled in to play the original text Star Trek game on a university mainframe, long before the PC or Apple appeared. Since 2004, he's written game guides for the Egosoft X Universe series, culminating in two versions of the X3 Handbook. He has also designed major mods for the various games, and dozens of mini mods.
He has been a farm worker, Antique Dealer, Computer Programmer, Systems Analyst, Operations Manager of a small retail chain, and Retail Store Owner. He is now a full time author, who still does Spiritual Healer and helper work.
After leaving behind the corporate and business worlds, he was opened to his Spiritual gifts. Now a Feng Shui Master, Feng Shui led him to Buddhism, Karma, the Tao, and back to western spiritualism. Since 2006 he has been writing spiritual articles and helping people via spiritual forums and Facebook Groups. His spiritual books include "Personal Healing Using Basic Meditation", "Life Harmony, Feng Shui in Plain English", '101 Tips for the John of God Brazil Experience', and "The Wisdom of the Ages is available for the price of asking a question" series of 8 books. His own spiritual healing led him to writing novels.
His first novel, 'Hero at Large', spawning the long running 'The Hunter Imperium' universe, brings together his love of the space genre, magic, spirituality, and cats. Now 10 series long, the universe covers 3 galaxies, 4100 years, and as at Dragon Imperative, 62 Novels, 7 shorts, and 2 companion books. There are 7 main entrance points across 10 series: Hero at Large, Admiral of Gaia, Yesterday's Spacemage, Crossover, Midshipman Spacemage, Old Magic, and Dragon Rider. Alternate entrance points if you don't need backstory first, are Adrift and Mage King, although Dragon Rider has 3 books before it about the dragons.
If you wish to be kept up to date with new releases and information in The Hunter Legacy Universe series, subscribe here: http://eepurl.com/bqMgVz, and follow on Amazon, Goodreads, or BookBub.
The fastest way to find out about a new release is my Facebook group/page, which get advance warning about 2-4 days before release, and again when the book is uploaded to Kindle; and my email list which goes out as soon as I have an Amazon page for the new book. Bookbub will let you know about 3-4 days after I remember to tell them.
I normally will release in advance of the specified release date whenever possible, so if you are a Kindle Unlimited reader, you will want another method to be notified of the actual release date, so you can read on day 1.

Nice but a bit slow
While it was a nice episode, it was a bit slow with way too much organizational details in it. I felt that barely anything happened by the 40% mark, but all the time was occupied with what ship went in which one, with passed and how they stacked up. It felt like a book about packing, with very little action and story progression , and worse a this information was pointless and had no real use. The story picks up slightly towards the end though so it wasn't that bad. Here's hoping the next one will be better.

Entertaining Read
Commander Bud is needing to expand his repertoire of magical accomplishments so he can keep up with all expectations placed on him and find the source of the dinosaur fleets attacking everybody. I like the action, humor, and romance. I enjoy the problem solving and strategy. I look forward to the next book.

Enjoyable and thoughtful
I can't say it enough, this way of using one book per rank allows for a more detailed experience with all characters growth and development this enhances the draw and adventure I the story.

Very long series
When I found this series a year a go, I never thought that I'll keep on following it after so long. Yet I do, and still going strong

Quite a fun story
It’s been really nice catching up with this series…
Bud’s story is really quite interesting. Can’t even imagine the feeling of that power and responsibility.

Personal
John good inside in theater actions between the different parties and protagonists. Even some pretty good insights into the antagonist with his visit and fight.
