Kurzbeschreibung
A former naval starfighter pilot, Maarkean Ocaitchi once fought to protect the Alliance and its principles of freedom and democracy, but his sister's rebellious past forced them both into a life of smuggling. He nevertheless refuses to believe her assertions that the whole system is corrupt... until she is arrested and condemned to death as a traitor. Now, Maarkean must decide where his loyalty lies, and will either spark a rebellion or help crush the spirit of democracy once and for all. The experience will challenge everything he thinks he knows about resistance, loyalty, and friendship. Written in the spirit of heroic space adventure, Aristeia: Revolutionary Right is the first book in a series by new author Wayne Basta.

Beginning of a new great series!
20. Dezember 2011
Format:Kindle Edition|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
Aristeia is the first book in what is looking to be a great series. It was a quick easy read with subtle humor thrown in. There were NO dry spells where you were tempted to flip through the pages to get to the action part. The book flowed very well and I quickly became emotionally involved with the characters. I look forward to the second part of the series. Please hurry up and finish writing it!

A great space opera and more
9. Januar 2012
Format:Kindle Edition
Sometimes I'm looking for a good, entertaining space opera, and Aristiea fit the bill perfectly. On top of that, it also raised some interesting and deeper questions about loyalty that made it stand above the average whiz-bang interstellar adventure novel.
Above all, it's a well written book, especially on two counts: plot and characterization. I'm always disappointed when I can tell where a book is going to end up after the first couple of pages, but Aristiea defied all my expectations. It plays around some standard sci fi narrative ruts, but never falls into any of them. I was genuinely surprised at the twists and turns of the story, and that made it a fun read.
Second, I thought the characters were exceptionally well drawn. They weren't just cardboard cutouts. They had different ideas and opinions and perspectives, and they were handled with equal measures of sympathy and complexity. It wasn't just righteous good guys against evil bad guys, with no one able to see outside their narrow range. Characters, particularly the main one, actually change and develop. One of the things I liked best about the book was getting to know the core cast of players.
As I said above, the book is also more about blaster fights and space battles. It's also saying something about the nature of allegiance, to friends, to family, and to governments, that seemed both timely and compelling. Again, I enjoyed this theme mostly through the characters' (primarily Maarkean's) development.
Overall, I'd highly recommend this book, both as a fun read and as an exploration of some important issues around loyalty.

A solid read
5. März 2012
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Aristeia kept me interested from beginning to end. It started with a vibe that reminded me of Firefly, but very quickly broke off into its own territory. If you like sci-fi, read this book!
