The Battle at the Moons of Hell (Helfort's War: Book I) ReviewThis is the start of a space opera/military SF series with a number of pluses and some detractions.
On the plus side, the author is an experience RN and RAN naval officer which let's him permeate the book with authentic sounding detail - far more authentic than David Drake's Lt. Leary books for example, though a bit less fun (more on that). Also, his ear for political and military dialogue is more authentic than, say, David Weber. Finally, the author is smart and well-educated, and this comes through in well-written if sometimes stilted prose. Good space battles, some tense action, nice overall political sweep, good villains.
I have alluded to a couple of minuses. Not a lot of "fun" - our hero is a bit stiff, his love interest is hard to get excited about and I found him wooden. I also thought that the book could have been a little longer and in some parts skipped days of storyline too abruptly.
That said, I liked the book, liked the universe and enjoyed this as the start of a new series with a more "real-world" hero than lots of these military SF series have and a potential for a number of exciting, richly detailed sequels.

Helfort's War Book 3: The Battle of Devastation Reef ReviewFun read but not great literature. (potential spoiler) Get ready for another cliff hanger ending and be aware that their will be a Helfort's War Book 4.
The story picks up with the launch of the new Dreadnought strategy and we get into the internal politics of the Navy and society. You will see a thinly veiled story based on today's headlines with a futuristic spin. Young idealist frustrated by the "system"and by his personal heroism, grit and determination he attempts to overcome both the Hammers and the system.
Lots of bang bang action, multiple threads and a lot of heroism and team camaraderie.
View this as an old fashioned Space Opera with lots of villains, good guys, and beautiful women. Lots of fun but not great literature
Why four stars? It is a fun read to give you a break from a hectic day. I really like series and the books are easy to read and fun.Helfort's War Book 3: The Battle of Devastation Reef Overview
