Cry Victory

Starcaster, Book 6

By: J.N. Chaney, Terry Maggert

Narrated by: Tom Taylorson

Thorn Stellers and his daughter are a problem, and not just for the Nyctus. With their power taking shape in directions like no one has ever seen, the Orbital Navy is faced with an unwelcome reality.

The Starcasters are beyond control.

Kira and Damien are assigned diplomatic roles in the growing sphere of galactic relations, leading them to a stunning discovery - humans are not alone in their fight against the Nyctus. Worlds are being destroyed by an unseen foe, with no defense against their attacks. Reaching out to new allies, the Orbital Navy finds a vast network of trading partners who lend technology that makes the navy into a fierce new weapon, but with this change comes a critical question.

Can the Nyctus be allowed to live?

The question falls to Thorn - and Morgan, who is aging like no other child, mature beyond her years and harboring power that can split the stars. She alone knows the Nyctus and their factions, and their survival might depend on a girl they swore to kill. She might not get the chance to decide, unless the Orbital Navy can find a way to leap ahead of their newest threat, the Bilau.

But Morgan might have the key, found in records on Nebo, under the watchful eye of her guards. A technology that can send human fleets into enemy space at speeds like never before, her discovery will change everything - even the battlefield.

With Thorn, Kira, and Bertilak, the fleet will gamble everything to win, and they’ll do it against an enemy with one sworn mission - to end humanity, and the Starcasters, and the thing they fear the most in all the known worlds: magic.

Love It!!!

This book brings the series to an end - at least for the initial story arc!! Finally, everyone is involved at full strength!! I probably should have been a bit more patient with the middle books in the series, but no. The middle books were definitely lacking in continuity where the last two books were both VERY strong and very much told the story in a very forceful way!! If I have any complaints about this book is that the conclusion of the book happened a bit too quickly - the resolution coming with less detail than could have been used!! But overall, a very good conclusion to this series - until the continuation shows up!!

Great blend of sci-fi and magic!

This series is by far one of my favorite sci-fi stories! Tom Taylorson nailed it and will add him to my listen of favorite narrators. The story was wrapped up in a nice bow, but could have flushed out the ending a little more. Seems like the new alien species could have been explored further, but that is fairly minor. I love the father, mother, daughter dynamic and definitely reminds me of renegade star in that case. Wish we could get more… but I’ll have to settle.

fantastic book series

Amazing book series hate that this is the last one wish that there is more to the series.

Could have been better finish

I understand there needs to be some recap and etc. That said, there could have been an additional story to follow with it. it seemed like a great direction for the book then BAM!
A follow-up book to the series would be nice. A follow-up with about at least 3 more hours would make me feel I got my money's worth. Tom still kills it though.

Love the story line.

I like the idea of an all powerful being. That fines a way to keep from corrupted by the power
