USS Franklin: When Worlds Collide

USS Hamilton, Book 8

By: Mark Wayne McGinnis

Narrated by: John Pirhalla

Captain Galvin Quintos is grappling with two gut-wrenching losses in his life—first, Hardy, the enigmatic ChronoBot, and more recently, Doc Viv. Now, he's exchanged his Captain's Mount for a life of solitude deep in the Colorado wilderness.

Intel from the Alliance raises the alarm: Earth is teetering on the brink of an impending attack. Quintos, reluctantly pulled back into service by the EUNF, finds himself up against untenable odds. The one bright spot is USS Franklin, awaiting his command, an Omninought-Class behemoth armed with the latest cutting-edge technology.

When the assault arrives on Earth, it's a living nightmare. The Varapin have wielded an unholy power—a technology capable of transposing entire worlds. Now, stranded in a hostile star system light-years away, Earth is quickly freezing over, turning to ice. Racing against the clock, Quintos might need to strike a deal with the devil to retrieve an elusive alien technology that can reverse this cataclysm.

Hold onto your kibbles 'n bits—this space thriller defies the ordinary. With heart-stopping space duels, unrelenting extraterrestrial adversaries, mind-bending technology, and not just one, not even two, but three captivating women vying for his attention, Quintos embarks on the journey of a lifetime.

Another great story

I enjoy all the books you write. I believe your next book will is as enjoyable as all the rest have been

back to the story I wanted.

The author got back to the basics of why I follow this series. I thought the last book was the end of this series. I was highly critical of it and hated most of it but this book was a lot of fun to listen too even with the change in narrator. if you hated the last book I would recommend giving this book a try and if you still don't like it move on. looking foward to the next book.

It's a great war story set in an imaginative universe

Interplay of the main characters is interesting but the plot resolution stretches credibility. There are too many miraculous saves.

Slip’s torture

Loved the book, I liked the whole series. Wish Doc Viv would get back together with Quinton!

Surprised

I was very surprised at how all of this unfolded I wasn't sure how this was going to play out, but I was satisfied with it.
