War Horses, Book 5: Grand Melee

By: Scott Warren

Narrated by: Brad Derry

Hot off the clout of the successful Cinto DaSelva campaign, the Chevaliers find themselves in high demand, able to charge a premium to add stability to a relatively peaceful planet. But First Lieutenant Rande 'Vandal' VanDelle finds himself unexpectedly restless after his action-packed first year as a jockey. Luckily, the biannual Grand Melee is on the horizon, and organizing a watch party for the largest upright tournament in Catalan space is a company tradition.

But the Chevaliers aren't just watching, this year. A clause in their contract covered the entry fee for a team to represent, and Vandal jumps at the chance to escape the doldrums of a world at peace. But jockeying on a team and leading one in a live-fire tournament are two different things, and not everyone is looking to play fair. And one doesn't rise as a jockey without making enemies looking to settle scores in the galaxy's most dangerous game.

awesome as usual

another awesome addition to an amazing sci-fi series. this author is the real deal and the only thing I don't like about the series is the length of the books. wish they were much much longer. hopefully he writes many more books to come

Continued Excellence

Book 5 is just as good as the last 4, I can’t wait until book 6

Best of the series so far.

If I could change one thing, that would be the book seemed far to short 😅. Best book in the series so far in my opinion. Keep up the good work Mr. Warren can't wait for the next release. cheers!
