Consortium's Fall

Star Scrapper, Book 14

By: J.N. Chaney, Matthew A. Goodwin

Narrated by: Neill Thorne

The Sectiaan invasion has begun, and the Consortium wasn't ready.

Major worlds are falling daily to the aliens' superior technology. Even Hank's coalition of Peacers, Inquisitors, and soldiers can barely slow their advance. When the aliens demonstrate their ability to control organic minds, the situation becomes truly desperate.

As Emortium itself comes under attack, Hank realizes that everything they learned fighting Twain might not be enough. Some enemies can't be beaten with conventional tactics, and some wars can't be won with force alone.

Can Hank find a way to save the Consortium before civilization is wiped out?

Find out in Consortium's Fall, the devastating penultimate entry in the Star Scrapper series from USA Today Bestselling Author J.N. Chaney and Matthew A. Goodwin.

Plot so twisted it squeaks

Really stoked on this series. Love the detail, narration, and rhythm of each event. Ending expected but, … wow!

Love the storyline, but...

a very interesting and well fleshed out sci-fi tale, quite believable and well thought out. What bothers me is the repetition. There has been some in the earlier books, but this time it is very obvious and feels like the writer is simply trying to achieve a required number of words to satisfy the publisher. I will move on to the next book in the series, because I would like to see how Hank brings together all civilization to face the outsider. I just hope he can do so without repeating himself endlessly.

why do you need stasis for 6 month deployment

This was the worst of the series. If the author didn't keep talking about hank not ever seeing creatures like this every 5 mins it would have only be an hour long. The whole stealing of the information think it was going to someone an advantage was just no sense because these weren't weapons that could be controlled if you the information. But the worse was why do you need to put people in "stasis" for a 6 month deployment? That is nothing. They do 9 month now. They obviously had no training on the ship so that 6 month time would be doing that. Make ZERO sense. Then the logic that before they knew on 50 crew members survived they were saying there was no time to get the crew trained and ready to fight but then after only finding 50 crew members now they are saying they are going train civilian people?
