Summary
Vakov Fukasawa used to be a Reaper: a bio-enhanced soldier fighting for the Harmony, against a brutal invading empire. He's still fighting now, on a different battlefield: taking on stormtech. To make him a perfect soldier, Harmony injected him with the DNA of an extinct alien race, altering his body chemistry and leaving him permanently addicted to adrenaline and aggression. But although they meant to create soldiers, at the same time Harmony created a new drug market that has millions hopelessly addicted to their own body chemistry.
Vakov may have walked away from Harmony, but they still know where to find him, and his former Reaper colleagues are being murdered by someone, or something - and Vakov is appalled to learn his estranged brother is involved. Suddenly it's an investigation he can't turn down...but the closer he comes to the truth, the more addicted to stormtech he becomes.
And it's possible the war isn't over, after all....

Fasten your seatbelts!
A thrilling adventure not for the faint-hearted, Stormblood sits squarely in the tradition of the genre. Space opera with hints of both noir and military sf, brims with cool tech and offers a well-developed, intriguing world. There's plenty of excitement, but in the midst of it there's real heart as Vakov desperately tries to to do right by the only family he's got left.

Really Enjoyable Book
What a great book. Really enjoyed the story and the characters. Found myself grating my teeth at tense moments too and really wiiling characters to succeed.
I’m hoping there will be another book - to dive into the unanswered questions and continue for a further adventure...
Narration by Colin Mace was excellent & he really had the characters coming to life.

Brotherhood, loss and nail-biting action
Absolutely loved it. Szal has a way with characterisation that grabs you, tech that intrigues you and action that dazzles you.

Narrated well, but that's all the good I can say
Very macho.. For the first 7 chapters at least the main character spends more time telling you how badass he is supposed to be than demonstrating it. Or, in fact, anything else.
The confused nature of the stormtech as a drug and a military aid at once is a mess and doesn't make sense.
Couldn't finish.

testosterone fuelled fight fest tedium
On the plus side, the main character is interesting. Yes he is big chunk of fighting manliness but there is bit more to him than that. he is loyal, brave and willing to fight his inner demons/aliens. This is a book for people who like their world devoid of substantive female characters. There are blokes, doing fights stuff and that’s it. Basically the hero gets into scraps, gets beaten up, and/or tortured , then escapes in a wide variety of settings. then the story moves a little and pause, rewind and start again . I have two hours left in the book and guess what, the hero has ventured into yet another lair where he is about to get beaten up and tortured. except that I have had enough and do not care anymore. I am sending this one back. A huge disappointment for me.
