Starstrikers
Starstrikers is a military space opera that takes place during a thousand year war between two galactic civilizations. It captures the strategy of fleet admirals, the bravery of common spacers and the adventures of an elite special forces team as they all struggle against a powerful enemy war lord with devastating new technology.
“The Starstrikers were composed of small, four person teams that could get in, make changes where needed, and get out, often before enemy forces knew they were there. These teams were closer than siblings and often made the supreme sacrifice for each other. Did they deserve to be called legends? I believe they did.”

In many ways, this book reminds me of my favorite space opera author, Doc E E Smith. It has a very well developed group of characters, ones that you get to know. The various races, ships, worlds, even the technology are easily pictured (rightly or wrongly, but it’s easy to imagine them). There’s some good, interesting twists that will keep you reading and some stuff that will make you think. Definitely a book I happily recommend to SF readers.
