Synopsis

In a galaxy where the fabric of reality can be bent and shaped by a privileged few, and almost any skill desired is a mere injection away, one young man is thrust into the fight of his life.

Tane, a hydroponics farmer with some mad cereal crop gene-splicing skills, decides to get chipped. The operation gives him full control over his autonomic nervous and endocrine systems, plus the ability to install custom memories.

All seems well until a couple of days later aliens come knocking at his door. And they aren't the friendly type.

Soon Tane finds himself on a frenzied flight across the galaxy with a woman who can warp the very fabric of spacetime, her bodyguard—who'd just as soon kill Tane than protect him—and a starship that calls him snarky pet names. He's on the run not simply from the aliens but the whole damn human space navy.

He only wished he knew why. Unfortunately for Tane, the answer might just destroy him. Not to mention the entire known universe.

"When stealing honey, don't stir up the bees." Star Warrior has the classic Hooke ingredients: good, quirky, well written characters, detailed and visual action and an undertone of humour running throughout. Star Warrior introduces elements of LitRPG into the story. Game, a young engineer and aquapon......more

Goodreads review by Sven on January 17, 2018

A pretty fun Space Opera with some flaws. Much like Star Wars it takes a lot of inspiration from epic Fantasy. It's a "chosen one coming of age" type story. Which is something you don't actually see a lot of in Sci-Fi; or at least I haven't. It makes for a good epic space adventure and is the source......more

Goodreads review by Karl on December 02, 2017

Geez. First off, this book had great promise in the beginning. But it started to really fall flat. The plot and the writing was the only good aspect of this story! The characters however were just ugh. I personally couldn't 'bond' with the MC in the slightest. Though the author did a good job of not......more
