Synopsis

FIRST IN A NEW MILITARY SCIENCE FICTION SERIES

“I was on a dead ship on an unknown planet with three trainees freshly graduated into the Imperial Service. I tried to look on the bright side.”
 
He is the last to wake. The label on his sleeper pad identifies him as an admiral of the Evagardian Empire—a surprise as much to him as to the three recent recruits now under his command. He wears no uniform, and he is ignorant of military protocol, but the ship’s records confirm he is their superior officer.
 
Whether he is an Evagardian admiral or a spy will be of little consequence if the crew members all end up dead. They are marooned on a strange world, their ship’s systems are failing one by one—and they are not alone.

'Admiral' is a thoroughly enjoyable military space adventure. For whatever reason, it's been a while since I've found a pure science-fiction adventure that I've really enjoyed. This novel breaks that 'meh' streak in a no-holds-barred way! Reminiscent of 'Alien,' it would also translate well to the bi......more

Goodreads review by Justine on November 25, 2016

This was an OK read, but it didn’t stand out for me. I thought the "reveal" at the end wasn't quite enough to justify the amount of build up during the rest of the book. I might just be feeling a bit grumpy though.......more

Goodreads review by John on September 07, 2016

Uncomplicated, rip roaring adventure with the mystery of the main character's identity and a strange planet that just keeps getting more and more deadly to keep things hurtling along. The background history is well developed, there's some decently sharp banter, and no rules of physics are overtly co......more
