The Lost Aria: The best one in the series so far.
So far this was the best book in the series. Not only is there quite a bit of nice action but, as I hoped in my review of Sonata in Orionis, Minu has indeed become quite a bit of an ass-kicker.

Voyage Into Darkness: Fairly okay reading.
This is a fairly okay reading. It is however still more young adult reading than his Empire Rising series.
Voyage Home: I am a bit underwhelmed with this one.
The action in the book is not that bad although both the quality of the story, the action and the characters are nowhere near that of Empire Rising. It is not a bad book and if you are into the more “fantastic” and superficial young adult style stories you will probably find it quite good.
Firestorm: Good (mostly) installment in the series.
Bottom line, except for the ending this is a good solid military space opera and I liked it a lot.
The Price of Liberty: Good book despite another batch of constipated and incompetent officers.
This is another good book in the Empire Rising series. The British Star Kingdom is now in full war, war declaration and all, with the Indian Republic.
Earth Fall 1-3: A nice little alien invasion trilogy.
This is a quite nice little alien invasion trilogy by Raymond L. Weil. Sure it follows a fairly standard mode. Humanity learns that they are not alone. The aliens are not nice guys. Humanity learns, adapts and finally kicks ass. Not the most original story for sure but what the heck, I do really like these kind of stories.
Return to Haven: Not the best book in the series but still quite good.
This is not the best book in the series but it is still quite good. Story, universe, action, military strategy and tactics and so on and so forth are all on the higher end of the scale.
