Ep.#5 - Rise of the Corinari (The Frontiers Saga)
You see this in the middle books of a series, and usually transition books are the least appealing -- but not this time. While the early books in the series had a bit of a young-adult feel to them, the style here is very much more grown up just as is Captain Scott, the main character. This is the book where Nathan Scott transitions from the "junior officer thrown in over his head" to the "Captain Nathaniel Scott" that has learned to both earn and demand the respect due a man of his position. The growth in this character is both tangible and entirely believable.
Other characters grow as well, though not as noticeably. All our favorites are there and get their time in sunshine, however, and all without slowing down the book or bogging the reader down in detail. The Aurora transitions in this book as well. From an incomplete test platform with limited staff and supplies in the first book, to a severely damaged and depleted warship and crew by the end of the fourth, and a barely staffed hull barely able to manage its own internal security in the fifth, the Aurora emerges by the end of this sixth book with repairs and enhancements, nearly fully staffed with a crew rapidly gaining competence and confidence and an emerging tactical playlist drawn from battle experience.
Finally, the relationship between the Aurora crew and the locals grows as well. No longer outsiders trying to make themselves understood, what comes out of the necessity is a true partnership that over time will clearly benefit all involved. The best thing about the way Ryk Brown has pulled this off, is that he doesn't spend much time telling us that the characters are growing.
We see it happening through their actions and their behaviors. Nowhere is this more pronounced than in the 'briefing room' scenes that take place a fairly regular intervals. By the end of this book, Nathan Scott no longer reminds me of whiny, spoiled, kid trying to do right -- and instead starts to remind me of some of the best incident commanders I've known in my work as a volunteer firefighter and officer.

It really is a striking transition, and perfectly executed in the writing. After narrowly avoiding civil war and a complete glassing of Corinair, the Aurora and her crew must find a way to protect their newfound brothers in arms against the Takaran once again.
In the beginning, all is well but in the world of the Aurora's crew this is never the case for very long. Nathan and company soon find themselves battling Takarans once again and this time they have some new tricks up their sleeves that make them an even more formidable opponent. Filled with the same action, excitement and enjoyable characters - Rise of the Corinari is another enjoyable read in the Frontiers Saga.
They really start to gel and develop chemistry while taking on more responsibilities and learning to work together as a cohesive unit.
This was one of the knocks on some of the earlier books and I'm glad Brown addressed it in more detail this book. The biggest development is the Aurora's captain, Nathan. Some complained, and I had a little issue with as well that he was a spoiled politicians son that tried to be everyones best friend instead of a firm and respected leader who would make tough decisions when the chips were down.
Tug, Jessica and Cameron really branch out as well. We also get a little bit of intrigue in the former Takaran spy Trevon Dumar and spend most of the book wondering what is he doing on the Aurora?
Product description
I give this book four stars because I found the story to be entertaining and worth following to its conclusion. Aug 20, Patrick Barnes rated it did not like it. At least the characters acknowledged the several mistakes they made. Not being asked to swallow those kinds of errors as normal almost makes up for some of it. I'm nitpicking some but I'm writing my gut reactions as I read it.
The reconstituted crew races to complete repairs with the aid of a newly liberated planet and battles follow. That's about all you can say about the story. The book moves fast eno fun I had reservations about the plot device that almost allowed the ship to fall to boarders.
The book moves fast enough that you may not have enough time to fault the plot or look at the details too closely. There's so little character depth that it's difficult to call it shallow. Give this crew six months and they'll conquer the galaxy probably. Apr 03, Jeff Pietrzyk rated it it was amazing. I'm not ashamed to say I'm addicted to this series.
What's different about this storyline as opposed to some of the other authors self-publishing is the lack of a formula for each book. You know how some authors write the same thing over and over but in different locations with new character? So far that's not a problem with The Frontiers Saga. Feb 11, jean yves couture rated it it was amazing. Episode is a nice build-up to what is turning out to be a great series.
I also appreciate the orthography. Science fiction these days is not properly proof-read. Apr 26, Mary Barb rated it it was amazing. Will they or won't they Book 5 is an entertaining and blood pressure raising episode.

The ride through it is worth the price. If you haven't already done so start with Book 1 and catch up. Aug 02, Nathan Jent rated it it was amazing. Another great book in the series. I love how the author often foreshadows an event early in the book and delivers it in glorious fashion at the end. I must go now. Onward to the next book. May 25, April rated it really liked it. I'm enjoying the series. It's one of my summer guilty pleasures.
I get a little in each evening right as I climb into bed, and pick up again the next nightstretches it out and makes the adventure last. Jul 22, Greg rated it really liked it. Solid writing Well written page turner. Better spelling and grammar than most self published books. Feels a little more derivative than I would really like, but the author is improving with each book. Sep 14, Clint rated it really liked it. Getting better, and still delightful! Mar 27, Glenn Walker rated it it was amazing.
Great story What more could you ask for? A new technology looking to be used. Throw in desperation and you have a rip roaring yarn. Oct 16, Terence rated it liked it.
