    About this audiobook

    The U.S.S. Merrimack was the finest battleship class spaceship in Earth's fleet, able to stand up against the best the Palatine Empire could throw at them, even able to attack and kill swarms of the seemingly unstoppable Hive. But nothing could have prepared the captain and crew of the Merrimack to face the Myriad—three colonized worlds in the midst of a globular cluster that the Hive had somehow overlooked.

    • 4/5
      Good easy read, Solid scifi, looking forward to listening to the authors other novels.
    • 5/5
      I rated this book amazing because there is a plot twist near the end that did indeed thoroughly amaze me.
    • 3/5
      I kind of liked this in spite of myself.
      I do enjoy old-school military SF/space opera, as long as the women aren't too hideously portrayed, and well, it was kind of hideous but I still liked it.
      I don't know. I'm reading the next one anyway.
    • 5/5
      I started off not really getting into this novel. I actually put it aside, read a few other books and then for some crazy reason I ended up reading the second novel = which I loved enough to make me want to try reading The Myriad again. Having the second novel in my head was the impetous I needed to continue past where I left off, and this seemed to do the trick. I absolutely loved The Myriad.I loved the dialogue, the characters and even those crazy plot twists - which, though at first I felt so confused (having read the second book first), when I remembered that I was reading a SciFi book, it all became much clearer. I read The Myriad within a couple of days; I was absorbed by it.It has it all - fun dialogue, unrequited love, suspense, adventure, fighting and gore, SciFi twists and turns and just plain fun. There's this far into the future war with the Roman Empire vs The United States...not a lot of other countries are mentioned though - but the main plot is this war with the Romans and Earth both trying to get as many planets claimed as possible and the addition of this type of gorging eating monster hive thing. This hive is comprised of millions and millions of eating bugs that seem to have no other purpose than eating - eating anything organic; food, people, wood, plants, each other....anything. And they can travel in space, seemingly impervious to weapons....ugh. Makes cockroaches and pirhanas seem tame in comparison.Now that I've read the second and first, I'm off to read the third in this series...
    • 1/5
      This book is horrible. The characters aren't interesting, the plot is alright, but the ending ruins the entire book.I don't recommend it.
    • 1/5
      Stopped reading early on. Seemed written entirely in sentence fragments to prove hard-assedness of narrators. Plot involved fragile alliance between spacefaring Roman Empire (secretly preserved lo these many millennia, now moved into genetic engineering) and spacefaring United States (that is, Earth: you didn’t know they were same thing?) in order to fight alien threat, encountering different alien race. Seemed promising in some ways; hoped arrogance and aggression of US ship got it in deep shit but couldn't bear to hang around for results. Couldn’t get past wanting to strangle all stoic, hard-as-nails characters.
