As with pretty much all the books in the series, this one continues right on from the previous which sees our hapless hero arrive in a star system with three races which are all very different from each other. Well, I've finally reached the end of the main Star Force series of books with the twelfth title, Demon Star. I would recommend it to any Sci-fi reader or listener. Every book involves you, gives you a bit to speculate on, and lots to feel vicariously. They were a genuine delight for me while I was needing the solace of a book, or in this case a well performed book on audio. Anyone who like military or light science speculation with lots of adventure will love these books. That they have been able to keep things fresh without too much redundancy for this many episodes is a real testament. And that along with lovable characters, well painted vicarious experiences from sex to nano injection to tightly drawn battle scenes, that make the reader effortlessly jump from book to book and not get bored. They were not just pawns for one mans speculation about an alien or tech scenario. But what kept things from becoming boring like so much hard sci-fi is that the main characters were vivid and central. And takes them to a fun speculative place that is populated by a wide variety of life forms. The author starts with some very simple and believable technologies that are quite clearly on the horizon. This book and the entire series was just amazing. Of all exploratory/military science fiction not carried by a publisher. This is book 12 and still fun and interesting. Possible end point for the Kyle and Cody Riggs & nano-ship saga
