Dreadnought Rising, by Tom Hart
Don’t you love it when an ebook smacks you in the face with
something that feels original? This book will always have a special place in my
heart because I’m Aussie and “Dreadnought Rising” deals with the invasion of
Australia: how foreboding! As the first instalment in a series (Dark Star),
Hart’s narrative does an excellent job of entertaining while crafting the tip
of a developed and complex universe. The great thing about this sci-fi is that
it feels immensely possible. The intergalactic themes and suggestions are
either imaginable or probable and I found myself travelling on a journey that I
could believe.
This credibility in a purely fictional story is a lot of fun and
it’s something that you’ll certainly hope to encounter again; lucky it’s a
series! When questioned about the “Dark Star” series, Hart suggested that the
battles are packed with “Historical references to the decline of the Greek City
States.” This, coupled with Hart’s military experience, is sure to contribute
to an intricate, enthralling chain of conflicts.
Packed with charming killers and suave tyrants, you’ll be
struggling to decide which of our (Earth’s) enemies you want the protagonist to
battle first.
Highlights!
Characters: And not just the individual characters, the way
the characters are organised. The interactions between the warring factions in
this book are splendid.
Pace: The plot charges ahead as you’re thrown across the
planet and the universe.
Conflict: A series of growing conflicts in this eBook adds
to the action.
