About this listen

Blackhawk: a wanderer, a man running from a dark and sinister past. A genetically-engineered warrior, a capable and accomplished killer, he is also a lost soul, a man who has fled to the deepest reaches of space seeking his true identity.

The Far Stars: the farthest extent of human habitation in the galaxy, a sector of a hundred inhabited worlds, it is a dangerous expanse full of pirates, mercenaries, and cutthroats. The sector is a rough and rugged frontier, lying beyond the darkness of the great Void, and the only place in all the vastness of space where men live free of the brutal empire that rules the rest of mankind.

Celtiboria: once the premier world in the Far Stars, now a planet wracked by centuries of brutal civil war, driven to the edge of a dark age by the unending struggle among its Warlords for power and control. Augustin Lucerne: one of Celtiboria's feuding Warlords, a brilliant tactician and a respected commander. Lucerne is something rare on Celtiboria, in all of the Far Stars...an honorable man who fights not for personal aggrandizement but to save his world.

Jeffrey Kafer did a decent performance.

The problem with this, and similar enhanced warrior books, is that the protagonists seem to be human Swiss army knives. The challenge is removed because they have an advantage over every other character. This book is no different There is no humour either.

A bit repetitive

Although this was meant to be a prequel to the Far Stars series, I listened to Blackhawk when I was two books in to the Far Stars series to get an insight into the man who was Blackhawk and how the relationship between him and General Augustin Lucerne grew, although little is given away about his earlylife. It covers the wars between the different warlords on Celtiboria.

Blackhawk, a genetically engineered warrior; a formidable killer, is running from a past he cannot escape. The Far Stars is a haven of some 100 worlds inhabited by mercenaries, pirates and the like and the last place people can live free from the yolk of the Empire, that is until Governor Vos' schemings put everything at risk.
