Oath of Vengeance do, not surprisingly, take off after the ending in the first book but it does fast forward a couple of years. Brad is now firmly in his role as a mercenary captain and has advanced his company, The Vikings, to be a “platinum” mercenary company. At the start of the book he is on a mission to kick some pirate arse.
I liked this book as much as the first one. It is roller coaster ride of not only well done action by also plot development and character development. Brad continues to grow both his company and himself. He and his friends are indeed very likable kick-ass characters.
As the plot thickens Brad encounters his nemesis, the Terror, again but it also becomes clear that there is more going on than just bunch of pirates and the Terror is just one part of the puzzle.
Even though the combat action is well done these books are more action and adventure books than pure military science fiction. As such the story, and the hero in particular, does get away with some Indiana Jones style actions and strategy that could be considered somewhat unrealistic. If you take the book for what it is it probably will not bother you. At least it did not bother me.
I am definitely looking forward to read the next one/

good read
Fast paced adventure that doesn’t let up. Not quite as good as Stewart’s books on his own, yet enjoyable enough that I’m looking forward to the following trilogy.

I like Glynn Stewart's space opera. I can't say this bit of revenge porn was particularly gripping, but Stewart has a way of making me care about the characters. I'll definitely read the next. Right now, actually.
