Get Into The Battle (Rise Of The Republic #2) Executed By James Rosone Readable In Version

Fun action read, Needs to do research as to when and how dinosaurs were destroyed, Hint: it was more than,years ago, Also, could use several editingreads to tighten grammar, insert missing words, and eliminate excess words, and to keep statements consistent across pages, If you can overcome these shortcomings, then you will enjoy the book, Not bad follow up

This has been a not too bad follow on to the first book and certainly has moved at a good pace.


Things I liked:
focus on a small group of main characters
pace of the story
initial premise
initial political manoeuvres

Things I wasn't keen on:
characters not quite in keeping with their rank just my opinion
tactics and strategy not really all that sophisticated
the timeline not being too clear
the rapid influence of the "benevolent" elder species
lack of star carriers especially given the intense use of naval aviation currently

Overall a good read and I am looking forward to the next book, even if I do appear to be overly picky on some of the details.
Let's ignore the pacing, the nonsensical events that are not connected by anything other than wishful thinking, or deus ex machina solutions, But this science fiction novel declared dinosaurs existed on Earth four thousand years ago, that ice core of a comet crashing into Russia wiped them out, cut human life span dramatically.
. . and caused a flood of Noahs' fame, He really tried to incorporate Bible stories as true and having advanced aliens with wormhole and teleportation technology as witnesses to this, Whatever doubts I had about this book series that decided it, I am noping out of this travesty right now, Too bad since I love the trope of ancient people being transplanted to other planets, My Book Number:

This review is on Into the Battle Book Two Of The Rise Of The Republic by James Roscone.
This is the second book I have read by this talented author, This Military Science Fiction story about space exploration, first contact with aliens and humanitys efforts at colonizing the adds even more space battles and ground combat scenes.


The story begins with Captain Miles Hunt on his warship, RNS Rook, near the Rhea System, Two enemy Zodark warships are sighted in orbit around New Eden and move to attack the human ships, The deadly space battle begins for control of New Eden,

Losses are heavy, but Hunt is able to capture one of the disabled Zodark warships and use knowledge gained from it to prepare for future battles with the Zodark race.
It also allows the space Marine Delta force to board the enemy ship and take control before it can be repaired by the Zodarks still alive on board.


There are still many Zodark enemy troops on the ground in New Eden that have to be cleared out with intense fighting and more human losses.
In the end, the military realizes it needs more synthetic robot troops called Cs to fight the Zodarks in the future,

The fight to take New Eden from the Zodarks is much more difficult than expected, but it is finally achieved, The Republic intends to use New Eden as a base of operations in the future to prepare for future battles with the Zodarks when they return to try and take back the planet.


One of the things that result from fighting with the Zodark race is the discovery of stargates that allow deep space travel between the.
The Zodarks use the stargates to travel vast distances to control their multistar system empire, Humans discover a map with thousands of stargates and decide to explore some of them to find out where they lead, One of the goals is to find out the location of the Zodark home worlds,

The story continues to unfold as more stargates lead to new worlds and finally to the discovery of new alien races and how they all fit into the war with the Zodarks.
Fortunately, humans find a new ally that may help win the war against the more advanced Zodarks,

I give this book Five Stars because the story is interesting, fast moving and full of surprises, The story continues to expand the universe with advanced

technology, new alien races and fierce battle scenes, The characters are memorable and interesting, The plot continues to build in scope and detail, The dialogue and writing style are excellent, The science and technology are believable and creative, This MSF story continues to unfold with more action scenes and new characters, I look forward to reading Bookin this series to see what happens next to humanity and more about their new alien partners in this war.


Keep reading good science fiction and let me know when you find an interesting novel or author,
Good scifi space Military series

I love the first book in this series and the way it was heading , not to add any spoilers, this book takes a turn which In a whole new direction at the end which speeds over a few things that could have been great reads if expanded, reading this and going on to bookmaybe make or break this series I'm going back and marking these read now, so I forget exactly what was happening in each book.
That said, I remember thinking that the story was still getting even better and more interesting as the series progressed, The universe opens up a bit more as our technology progresses and new friends are met, I also very much appreciated the military aspect to the series, Rosone always does a great job of bringing the soldiers to life and telling the progression of the war at a good pace, WTF Dinosaurs died thanks to Noah's flood

I think James Rosone is generally a good author, but this book is total BS.

In the story, humanity encounters aliens that claim thatago humans lived side by side with dinosaurs, After that, a giant ice block hits the earth and causes Noah's flood,
And yes, the Aliens mention Noah by name,
The flood kills all dinosaurs, but humans survive
How could humans evolve when dinosaurs had an extramillion years on earth
Why is all science wrong about history
I have no idea how James Rosone came up with this weak storyline.

This makes no sense whatsoever and ruined the book for me, Series Continues to Deliver

Interesting intertwining of First Contact and war themes, I like the technological advances made in the book because they give me reason to ponder “What if” and “If I were to build this, how would I approach it” questions.
Books that make me think are the most worthy of my time, Do you ever read a book as part of a series that starts alright, gets more interesting as you go, but is suddenly derailed

That's this book.
The series starts off on an alright note despite the issues with pacing and characterization as well as inconsistent world building, not to mention the billionaire fanboi wankfest.
But this just goes off the rails in this book, The bad guys fail to resolve into anything meaningful or interesting, All the primary characters are Mary Sues of the highest order, In the second in a series I feel the author should be more ok with letting our protagonists have some warts and actual depth but beyond some "pirates" with aspirations of nationhood, that never materializes.
And for a "Republic" that is nominally most of the Western world, it's just a standin for the good ole USA, It's not the rahrah USA that I mind, it's the way the author just lets a lot of potential unique story/world building opportunity slip away unutilized.


While military scifi and space opera in general hinge of suspension of disbelief, they also presume a certain congruency with our present understanding of how things actually work.
But between the "march to war" portions of this story that really don't do much to enhance the tone but mostly bog down the narrative and the need to validate biblical literalism, it ruptures that suspension of disbelief.


I'm aborting the remainder of this series, So long, thanks for the fish, A Good One

This is an interesting, lucid story, This second volume is a bit extreme with its introduction of multiple alien races but the plot is intetesting, The battle scenes are compelling,

Frankly, these first two volumes make me regret my failure to enlist in the Navy! I am enjoying these works,
Thank you for their creation, UGH, just skip through the parts of the story where the author describes the politics and tedious manufacturing decisions, These are important, but they are just plain boring, We want to know about the battles with this new alien species, Humans face a vast cosmic empire, after several successful battles, the big question is about the actual resources of the other side, As the opponents mobilize their extensive resources, Humans are bolstered by a new friend, This is a fun adventure, but the overall storyline is a bit mundane: Humans are pawns in a cosmic chess game, The new allies seem to think that this pawn might make the difference, I'm interested in seeing where this story goes, .
