Rimward Stars

Castle Federation Series, Book 5

By: Glynn Stewart

Narrated by: Eric Michael Summerer

A helpless ally calls for aid.

A ruthless enemy strikes without mercy.

The fate of empires turns on even the smallest actions.

When a minor trade partner sends the Castle Federation a desperate call for aid, they have few resources to spare from their all-consuming war against the Terran Commonwealth. Unwilling to be seen failing their allies but able to spare only a tiny force, Castle sends a hero to command the task group: Captain Kyle Roberts, the Stellar Fox.

Beyond the Rimward frontier of the Federation and its allies, little is as it seems. The pirates are being armed by an outside force, and the politics of these worlds is made deadlier by their poverty. When the Coraline Imperium - the Federation's oft-difficult ally - sends forces as well, it risks a conflict that could undermine the Alliance protecting them both.

There are deeper games afoot as local schemes play the great powers against each other. Captain Roberts is caught in the chaos as fire and blood explode across the region. There is only one certainty: these Rimward Stars must not fall.

another great Glynn Stewart book

this author continues to be one of my new favorites. This book one again puts Captain Roberts in the thick of it while facing increasing political tensions. The series remains less political than the Hand of Mars series and that's good... let's this one be a fun read.

Entertaining

This was a great continuation from the previous book. the narrator does a good job.

Never Disappoints

Glynn Stewart's military series are always great reads, filled with Sci-Fi & military themes with human drama and plot twists with never expected results. Like a magician, something is always produced with a satisfying ending. Already looking forward to my next fix.

worth listening to while working.

Glynn Stewart and the narrator work together to bring you into the story. I laughed with this one. on to book 6

Great, but could be better

Glynn Stewart is great, Eric Michael Summener is great, and The Stellar Fox is great. Knowing that the next book in the series will conclude it, however, it feels a bit...insignificant. More like the first book in a series that establishes the protagonist as a smart person, but instead it's the fifth, where he takes a detour to...confirm it? I don't know. Enjoyable nonetheless.
