anika 's review for:
Victorious
by Jack Campbell
I found the author's habit of constantly repeating what had gone before or how things worked was really wearing a trifle thin. Do we honestly need to know how the conferencing software works every time the hero has a conference? Why do I have to be told ever other chapter that Black Jack woke up after a hundred years in survival sleep? I can understand that the author does it so new readers can just pick up the book but there really is a limit to how much is required. You can't help but being left with the impression that the author was desperately trying to make up the word count. I agree with another poster that this series could have been completed in three books.
All that having been said I did enjoy this series and the final book. Although I did think things ended a little too easily. I was disappointed that we didn't learn more about the Aliens nor did we see what happened to Geary and Desjani. I can't help it I wanted to see him meet her family. I've read somewhere that the author is planning on including that in his next book in the new series. I doubt I'll be picking up that series - I'll just browse the relevant passages in the book store.
I'm giving four stars because I found the story and characters engaging if a little one dimensional at times.
