Yes, it has it all; great characters, lots of action (something the author certainly excels at), interesting twists, and - for me - a nifty turn of phrase never fails to pop up. I read 'Glory Boys,' the prequel, and became immediately hooked on Mr. Partlow's stuff.
There are many many genres, sub-genres, and sub-sub-sub genres et al of action based SF, but here's the thing to keep in mind: when created by a great writer the high quality takes on a facet all of its own which I feel one must embrace. At this high level, assorted works aren't 'better' than one another, they're just different, so enjoy them for what they are.
This trilogy is well worth your money.

My second reading in 4 years and I enjoyed it as much as the first time! Outstanding! I recommend this to all who love action adventure with a big taste of Space Opera!

Nice trilogy, self contained and stand alone, but fits into the author's larger universe. More tech heavy than his earlier works I read, but well done.

This was super military sci-fi and a great read. If you read "Glory Boy" and want even more of the characters, this is one to read. There are others that follow the same story line which are also good, but my sense is that this is the wrap up. My only regret is that it ended.

Maybe a little too much cut and paste to tie this trilogy into the whole genre but easily skipped through for continuity. A tale of the best of us and the best of “them” coming together to thwart the evilness of all.

This is a long book, but an outstanding read.
Maybe, one of the best SF books, that I have ever read.

Trad adventure/military stories; Not 'Hard SciFi' but the technology has a sound enough science basis even if the science is a few centuries hence!
The story writing is good, and the stories have been well edited. The characters are rounded and accessible. It's easy to care for them. The stories themselves are a cut above the usual fly/fight/win/repeat of some mil scifi and the prequel is good enough to have been Vol 1 of tetrology, starting the overall story arc off which is then developed (with a few surprises and twists and turns) over the next three books. Having said that, I read the first three main books in order and then the prequel and that worked very well. Another refreshing thing is that although the four stories are sequentially linked, each novel has a resolution - so many series nowadays have endings and starting that sometimes feel that the publishing date arrived (or the page target was achieved) so the writer stopped, published and then continued with the next book in the series
The central heroes (male and female) - the glory boys - are cyborgs in everything but name. Take away the science descriptions and they could be super heroes, but the thing that rescues it from that boring fate is that the characters have human feelings and foibles and the technology has enough limits to make them sweat for their successes. The secondary characters are equally well developed.
I enjoyed this series and would happily read more about Caleb et al if Rick decides to write more; however I suspect he's more of a David Baldacci type than a Lee Child - knowing when to more onto new characters and new stories before he grows stale and hence we grow bored
For me, the ultimate accolade is if I would happily reread a book (as I do with the Dune series, LoTR, Adam Hall's Quiller series ...) - this series has been added to that list

Starships, Aliens, combat, compelling characters. What more do you need?. An action-packed series that delivered on it's promise. Intellectual story telling, probably not. Enjoyable, most definitely!

Not very well written, you can miss out pages of written matter and not lose the story plot. Only worth 99p at best.

Quite enjoyed this series, it took me awhile to read as its a long trilogy (a good thing in my book). The characters were relatable and the story followed nicely along. The final chapter was a bit more. out there compared to the first two but still very good.
