Kyle Riggs supreme commander.

This is my first review of this series. I was a little dubious given some of the reviews. I am however very happy that I like to make my own mind up.
for me having read and listened to all off the undying mercenary series I needed something to grip my mind.
star force and Kyle Riggs have done that. The book is greatly entertaining, full of emotion and action at ever chapter.
so now I will have to get the next book.
Try this series you won't be disappointed

Star Force Consolidates

Battle Station is another good read from B V. Larson and is the fifth book in the Star Force saga. Riggs is consolidating his position within the Sentar system and engages in missions to rest ownership of the Macro manufacturing domes from them in order to boost his own production output. Of course, as usual, the annoying and self-serving Crow character wants to pull Riggs from his important strategic tasks and is rather like the typical bureaucrat who holds high rank and yet has little understanding or appreciation of the front line realities.

Crow tries to do an end-around on Riggs by promoting one of Riggs' subordinates over him but under estimates Riggs' abilities to handle such situations. Political machinations aside, Battle Station sees more development of the mysterious and ethereal "Blues" and some clever manipulation by Riggs of the Macro's and the Nano ships controlled by the enigmatic gas giant dwellers. Riggs also undergoes some of the same treatment that saw his girlfriend, Sandra, further enhance her abilities but goes a step further in his bid to survive the crushing pressures of the Blues home planet in order to establish contact.

The usually predictable Macros try something new in terms of tactics which is a nice twist and it does appear that they can indeed learn and adapt perhaps a little more than was first thought.

Ironically, Larsson's titles for his Star Force books really seem on the whole to reflect the end-point of each story rather than so much the guts of the book so to that end we only find the actual creation of the Battle Station occurring in the final pages of this book. As ever, we are left with a tantalizing prospect for the next in the series which I am looking forward to.

From a strategic standpoint, I think Riggs as a former professor of computer studies should have simply sent the Macros a copy of Windows 8 which would have completely disabled them and ended the war but I suppose you can't have everything! ;)

I'll keep this review short as those reading it will no doubt have read the preceding books in the series and so it is suffice for me to say that Larson delivers another satisfying instalment to the Star Force saga and I have no complaints and can therefore recommend this book as a must-read for fans of the series so far. Once again, if you've spotted this review and were wondering about the Star Force series then I strongly suggest you start from the beginning with the book entitled "Swarm" and go on from there. Although Larson does take time at various points in the story with some exposition that sort of fills in the key pieces if you've not decided to read the series to this point, I would still recommend reading from book 1. Having said that, Larson does make this story a stand-alone read if you just don't want to read the previous books up to this point.

All in all, another consistently good story from Larson which I can recommend.

Another winner

Would you listen to Battle Station again? Why?

The Author seems to have found his mojo for this book and the previous one. Really great story lines, I'm intrigued to know what is come next now.

Loving up to expectation

I love the undead mercenaries series and this one is just as good, similarities but not a straight copy and different stories that have kept me listening intently so far.

Brilliant narration and an excellent story. Kyle Riggs continues to kick metal butt very hard.
