Book Reviews of The Battle at the Moons of Hell (Helfort's War: Book I)
Book Review: Against boredom, I struggle to find books like this...
Summary: 4 Stars
This novel, the first in a series about a young cadet/midshipman named Helfort, introduces a new military s-f series and a new universe. If one notes some strong similarities to other series of this ilk (I'm thinking of Honor Harrington, in particular) I must say that following the career of someone who has relatives in the Admiralty may seem a bit familiar, but, as usual, "the Devil is in the details", and the details of this universe and its characters are fresh and well-drawn, leading to a delightful experience as you watch a young man go through Hell and back. I believe this is a strong offering to that ever-burgeoning class of stories to which we owe C. S. Forrester and his Hornblower another vote of thanks.
Summary of The Battle at the Moons of Hell (Helfort's War: Book I)
"A planet-stomping space opera that bursts off the page like a tactical nuke."-John Birmingham, author of Weapons of Choice
The Hammer Worlds-the most brutal and oppressive interstellar government in the universe-have hijacked the Federated Worlds cruise ship Mumtaz, seizing its valuable terraforming cargo and damning its passengers to mining the moons of the prison planet known as Hell.
For Junior Lieutenant Michael Helfort and the crew aboard deep space scout vessel 387, the mission is clear: infiltrate enemy territory, locate the Mumtaz, and rescue the prisoners.
The odds are appalling, and the damage will probably be fatal, but victory is nonnegotiable-especially for Helfort, whose mother and sister were on the Mumtaz.
And Michael Helfort will be damned if he'll let his family rot on the moons of Hell.
