A space fleet in shambles. A captain facing annihilation. There's never been a better time to play dirty…

Lieutenant Commander Cohen is furious. After his admiral's questionable tactics decimate all but two of their ships, Lt. Com. Cohen needs to get back to New Bristol in a hurry. But with a damaged hyperspace function, the remaining vessels are sitting ducks for the hungry, ruthless enemy…

To repair his ship, Cohen must engage a mysterious asteroid-based faction in a trade that could make or break the war. Carrying out insurgent missions on their ally's behalf, the entire plan rests on an impeccable battle strategy and just one tiny ship.

Can Lt. Com. Cohen survive the day or will the Deathless finally get their revenge?

Gunboat is the fourth book in the gritty Royal Marine Space Commandos military sci-fi series. If you like battle-hardened heroes, space fleet combat, and non-stop action, then you'll love Jon & James Evans' star-spanning exploits.

Jon Evans was born in Portsmouth, England and has worked in a fabulously dull series of jobs, none of which constitute a career. While doing these jobs the dream was always to become a writer and there were many false starts and unfinished projects. He now lives in Cardiff, where his surname fools people into thinking he might be a local.
With his brother James, he has co-authored four military sci-fi books in the Royal Marine Space Commandos universe. The first three books, Commando, Guerrilla and Ascendant focus on the efforts of the Marines to defend a colony world from alien invasion.
In Gunboat, the Marines are aboard HMS Ascendant supporting the Royal Navy and their missions against their lethal enemy. The fifth book, Dreadnought, will be out in early 2019 and the first audiobooks will be out at the end of January.
You can follow the series at imaginarybrother.com the publishing company for the series.
Jon is also writing The Edrin Loft Mysteries, which will be an ongoing renaissance fantasy series based in Kalider, once the capital city of what is now known as The Shattered Empire.
Once the series is well underway, it will be followed by an epic fantasy series which will deal with events on the macro scale, affecting the whole Shattered Empire.
The series kicks off with, Thieftaker, and explores the life and adventures of a group of outsiders, assigned to the least desirable Watch posting in their city. Captain Edrin Loft has plans to revolutionise the City Watch of Kalider and must prove his methods if he's to make headway. The Thieftakers are a rough bunch of misfits, whose only role is to chase the very dregs of society, where other members of the Watch fear to go.

A JE./JE. SYFY. Novel (TRMSCB - 4)/A Space Battle

Reviewed in the United States on May 26, 2019

Verified Purchase

JE./JR. have. penned the fourth novel in the RMSCB series, which contains a space battle between two important factions one to each side in the well known conflict. Two Space Armadas are closing to engage in a Space War to end the conflict between humans and the alleged lizard personnel. This fourth novel has done a superb job setting up the fifth novel of the series or a parallel war footinng between opposing firces. This is an excellent read for the genre.....DEHS

Great follow up to the first 3 books. Don’t want to spoil anything. But a great mix of personalities working together to achieve victory. Can’t wait for the next book and learn more about the marines of Sol and their new allies. And more about the standout Marine X and what he does next.

A series with interesting characters and a good storyline. I hope there is more background on penal marine X (aka ten) in the next book.

Full of action and excitement. Read the first four back to back over two days (I'm retired).

There are some quibbles, mind - nothing really serious but (ironically) some of the 'operational' actions are quite unbelievably naive.

What ship's Captain would enter a dangerous situation without having a backup plan - even if only by way of retreating via an emergency hyperspace jump plotted before entry?

Why would any Admiral i/c of a large force commence a (planned), battle against a proven extremely aggressive enemy, without a 'plan of action' conference shared between his ship's Captains?

How can any Admiral who has lost not only his own ship, but most of his force, be allowed to return to duty without a Board of Enquiry?

There are other less serious niggles too, but despite these, this series is a good start to I hope, a long running Space Opera.
