Review: Book 1-3 of The Star Chase Series
Rating: 3 out of 5
Date: 08 28, 2013
When purchasing a book I look at other's reviews, the length of the book vs the cost, and my interest in the sample.  This info did get me started on the Star Chase series of which I read all 3. This SCI-FI series had humans, super-humans, aliens, romance, fancy ships with advancing technology and space wars. This first book was good enough that when finished I did get the next book however I will warn you, the genetically engineered super humans (all part of the royal family of "Montgomery") made to be better at ruling the human planets were the main characters. They apparantly out-think everyone and some even have special mind powers after 500 years of being tampered with. I say "out-think" because the drew conclusions without data, their speculations easily became fact, with little or no data to go on about their alien enemy.  I am usually good at knowing what will happen next, but when you read they have a fact and you go back to see what you missed on how they got that "fact" you will be disappointed because you will not find how they got those facts.  That is the reason this book got a 3 star rather than 4-5 because the author just glossed over the fact finding parts of the story and made alot of good guesses on little information.  When you see a planet with dead aliens there are ways of finiding info: dating their ships, understanding their culture and anatomy maybe even being able to link into their data bases to learn more.  That exciting stuff was missing from this series, and when it was convenient some blanks were filled in by a psychic.  It was between book 2 and 3 when "regular humans" were seen as a possible asset. I think this series would be best used as comic books. On book 1 I felt the editing was better than book 2 and 3.
