Rise of Nimrod Fleet (The Contingency War Book 3) Kindle Edition

See all formats and editions

The fleet is ready for war, but the ships still need crews…

Against all odds, Captain Taylor Ray and his team outwitted the murderous Racketeers and evaded the sadistic Hedalt military leader, Provost Adra, to retrieve the vital tech needed to continue their mission.

Next, Captain Ray must recover the men and women required to crew the powerful Nimrod Fleet, which forces him to infiltrate enemy territory and execute an audacious raid.

Success requires all his cunning and guile, pushing Captain Ray and his crew of uniquely-gifted officers to the limit.

Meanwhile, Provost Adra is closing in. She knows how to find Captain Ray, and is lying in wait, ready to spring her trap. She’ll stop at nothing to keep her secret safe, even if it means overstepping her authority and ending her career.

The stakes have never been higher, on both sides. Failure means death. Success means war.

But come what may, Captain Ray will give the Hedalt one hell of a fight.

Solid writing . Plot moves at a good pace for me. Found no thread left hanging after the completion of the books. Humanity, honor, character as well as a good balance of soul searching by the character. All in all great reading.

Great pace, interesting concept and well defined characters. I just wish the author would open the storytelling lens a small bit so we could hear and see the rest of the characters that inhabit the human base and alien worlds.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Triumph💞 of Mankind🏃🏃🏃
Reviewed in the United States on November 2, 2019

This is the third book in the Contingency series, and should be read in order since its a continuing story.

The humans🏃 lost the first war💥 against the Hedalt👺 over 🌎Earth 300 years ago, and now the battle moves to space🚀.
The Achilles heel of the Hedalt👺 is space🚀. They have a genetic makeup given them by their creators that precludes all but a few of them from fast space travel🚀 by space jumping.

Instead they have developed artificial beings, or cyborgs using cloned human brains that man their ships🚀. Only the Captain and Adjutant are Hedalts👺 and are of the very few that can barely stand space🚀 travel. For being so superior in other ways, they are still dependant on humans🏃!

Hedalts, Audra👺 and Lux are still pursuing the human forces, their goal is the total annihilation of mankind. The Hedalt👺 are a cruel and heartless people, obsessed with the order of their highly structured society.

Audra👺 is so obsessed with killing what she believes is the last human💃, that she disobeys orders and gives chase to their ship🚀. The space jumps🚀 are taking a toll on Audra👺 and Lux. Too many and they will die. Each one seems physically worse than the last.

I also got this ebook with KU.

This is a great story about the tenuousness of humans, and their never give up attitude. Where there's a will, there's a way!

3rd book in the series continues a struggle against impossible odds. In this way it follows the typical genre formula, but the writing is well paced and seldom boring.

Great story so far. Very impressed with Mr. Ogden writing ability and his imagination. My daughter wants to be a writer and keep telling her to just let her desire and imagination take over. Cannot wait to read the outcome .

This was a great book. I don't know where you got your inspiration for this book, but you need to visit that again.
This book out did the first 2. You know (or maybe not) how you can sometimes get down? Whether it's the day to day stuff or watching the news or just thinking about lost loved ones. Then you read some of the hilarious humor in this book. You can't help but laugh. I know i always feel much better after a good laugh. And i want to thank you for doing such a good job of cheering me up. Thanks, now off to book 4.

Another Great read. Great plot well written and not obvious. This author has completely avoided the "middle book slump". No fade to the excitement.

5.0 out of 5 stars Suspenseful rollercoaster!
Reviewed in Spain on November 1, 2019

“No-one comes in peace. Every being in the galaxy wants something, and is willing to take it by force...”
I’m liking this series more and more through each new instalment. It’s more fascinating, a cat and mouse chase, suspenseful and exciting. The Simulant concept-an android with a human’s brain-is both thrilling and daunting, especially for what it was created by the temible and warrior alien species. The storyline told from different points of view-both human and alien-is gratifying and fulfilling. It has been a rollercoaster ride, fast paced, exciting and thrilling, along with a large cast of well-developed, believable characters, giving each clash of fleets an exciting turn. The Contingency 1 crew is fantastic, fun and resilient. The last of humanity’s survivors have come a long way to finally re-conquer what is rightfully theirs, planet Earth, and to “wake” the rest of the Simulants. Onto Earth’s Last War #4 now!
