I don't know why it took me so long to pick up a copy of this book. Like all Reilly books, it was fantastic!

Though targeted for a younger audience, this book holds up well for readers of all ages. The characters have heart and the story is compelling. I'm looking forward to reading more in the series.

Lost in the jungle... this isn't a story of a protagonist facing off against an antagonist. It's more man vs nature, or man vs himself. Interesting and compelling. But just when you think you can't help but anticipate the way the story has to come together in the end, you're wrong and your guts are tied up in knots. It's a better ending than you could guess at.

Luke Daniels narrates the audiobook. It was a great choice, as he's a great voice and gives the character tremendous heart.

A cool idea, clever characters, and a fresh take on an old alien conquest idea. This will make for an exciting and interesting series.

I have sincerely enjoyed this series. If anything, it continues to improve with each consecutive book — no small accomplishment given that we're now five books into the series. Smith has developed a finely crafted postapocalyptic world filled with adventure.

Concise and on point. I like how this book isn't filled with a lot of useless pages just to pad the word-count. If you're a writer and interested in the process of an accomplished, prolific author, this is a solid and on-topic resource.

The pioneers behind every great expansion have motivations that are lost to time. The key participants in every monumental historic event have varied and distinct stories that get lost to history. Delta-v chronicles the story of James Tighe, a cave diver turned deep space miner on Earth's first great expedition into the stars to attempt something extraordinary.

This is a story that has heart, thrills, tragedy, but it's ultimately a story of hope. Hope for the future and hope for the promise that is the human spirit. It's also another fantastic book from one of my favorite authors.

I didn't realize how much I missed the Decker character until I got back into this book. Once I did, it was tremendous fun. Another great mystery and some great suspense. I don't think I'm spoiling anything when I say that Mars comes back, and that just brought a smile to my face. Decker and Mars make a great team, even if they are not really supposed to.

This was a quick read, interesting and fun. The protagonist is funny, his view of the postapocalyptic world captured well in the stories first person point of view. I'm glad there's more to the series because I definitely want to read more!

I tore through this series like a kid eating popcorn. Book 1 was fantastic. Books 2-6 were each equally good. Once you start, you'll be hard-pressed to stop. There's good humor, adventure, and things waiting to eat interesting characters at nearly every turn.

This was a fantastic conclusion to the two-part series. There were a lot of threads to pull together, and Bible did a masterful job. And once again, the character work was outstanding.

I loved everything about the concept behind this book. Creative, thrilling, and it did a great job of building the tension over time. The character work was outstanding.

By the time you get to book #10 in this series, if you haven't wondered how this organization gets by in the bureaucracy that is 21st-century politics, this book finally gets around to sorting that out.

I'm calling this book a very unconventional look at DC politics. Who's to say every bit of this isn't true? It's creative, a little crazy, and a high-quality thriller. We even get some threads of the espionage genre tangled in for good measure. Who doesn't love that?

This book felt a bit more like the old-school Pitt adventure. The primary characters were represented and they were the focus of the story. The Celtic plot thread was solid and I enjoyed it.

I'll admit that I didn't know what I would think of this book when I read the description. It sounded like it could be more depressing than anything else. Turns out this was a great mystery thriller with a very unconventional lead character.

Not my favorite book in the series so far, but I'm glad the story continues even after the TV series has ended. I hope this goes for another 10 books.

This book should have been titled Random. I can't tell if the plot of fiercely creative or just schizophrenic. I'll settle for interesting. Unique and... interesting. Credit to the author for pulling everything together at the end. Wow.

The conclusion to the series is a little scattered, goes in a few too many directions, and includes perhaps a few too many twists for its own good on the way to closing out the plotline. Still, readers get a satisfying conclusion and are well rewarded for taking this perilous journey with characters they have no doubt become greatly attached to.

This book continues to highlight the author's creativity. The book gives the concept of a split personality new meaning and does it with great impact. It's proving to be a fun and fascinating series.

This was clever, well written, and compelling. I'm very interested to see where things go in the next book. I didn't anticipate it being a YA book when I started it, but I think it plays well to audiences of every age.

A troubling, yet interesting, look at madness. I read the book thinking this was fiction. I turns out it was based on a real serial killer. Still interesting, it just shifted my view of what I believed to be the author's creativity for obvious reasons.

This book is creative... maybe a little too creative for my tastes. It was so out there for the first half of the book that it just didn't click with me. I liked the protagonist enough, even if I didn't really understand him or his ways. The book was well written enough. I'm a fan of Dirgo's other books, so that wasn't the problem. And by the very end of the book I'll admit to liking things a lot more. I think that if the first part of the book had been written more like the last 15%, I would have enjoyed the entire book more. That said, if the book's description sounds like something you would enjoy, give it a shot. It's creative as all getout. That will likely resonate with most folks more than it did with me.

Interesting characters, an intriguing government agency, and a plot for world domination. It had many of the tropes that are time tested fan favorites. All tallied in the end, it made for a fun read.

The series continues to impress me. Not only with the thrilling action, but the character work. This being book 8 in the series, some long-time favorite past characters return for serious supporting roles. It makes for a fun and engaging read. Fans of the series will love this book.
