(1 review)

The first novel in a brand-new series from rising SF star Jamie Sawyer, The Eternity War: Pariah is an action-packed adventure set in the same universe as his acclaimed Lazarus War novels.

The soldiers of the Simulant Operations Programme are mankind’s elite warriors. Veterans of a thousand battles across a hundred worlds, they undertake suicidal missions to protect humanity from the insidious Krell Empire and the mysterious machine race known as the Shard.

Lieutenant Keira Jenkins is an experienced simulant operative and leader of the Jackals, a team of raw recruits keen to taste battle. They soon get their chance when the Black Spiral terrorist network seizes control of a space station.

Yet no amount of training could have prepared the Jackals for the deadly conspiracy they soon find themselves drawn into — a conspiracy that is set to spark a furious new war across the galaxy.

Military, deep space SciFi at its best

4 stars

This is really a book for SciFi fans of military or war deep space scenarios. We have a military unit full of rookies, which are not a team at all. And of course, they grow fond of each other during their first, desastrous missions and campaigns. There are other units who look down on them, but of course the plot gets rid of the other units to focus on the greenhorns, who grow together and win. And they win only because of how they do their stuff and because their hearts are at the right place bla bla and so on.

Yet even if the structure is clear, the action is satisfyingly tense and fact-paced and one turns the pages as fast as possible.

I was looking for exactly this and got what I wanted.
