Review: The Last Praetorian

The Last Praetorian
The Last Praetorian by Mike Smith
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I enjoyed this book, not because it was memorable Sci-Fi but because the story was interesting. I have some ‘technical’ issues with parts of the story but they didn’t detract from the overall story. I felt though, that the author did resort to some predictable gimmicks to resolve the ending.
I was a little disappointed in how some of the characters were depicted, but I can’t complain too much. The characters were typical Sci-Fi and they followed the normal strong male lead making the female supporting characters ‘weak in the legs’ when they kiss.
I’ll likely read the remaining two books in the series. I’d recommend it to anyone that wants some light Sci-fi reading.

About Ray Jay P

I’m a retired Aeronautical Engineer who is trying to bring a different style to science fiction writing. I’ve always loved science fiction and I’m trying to write with deeper characters and create stories and situations that a reader can relate to. The be honest I love a hero that has amazing weapons, takes on hundreds of aliens and can survive anything, but I also want to read a situation and be able to relate to it. An extrapolation of what might really happen with a little less stretch in my imagination. I’ve been fortunate and I flew in the US Air Force for 10 years, during which time I flew C-130’s and visited 27 countries, then I flew T-38”s and trained the best pilots in the world, as well as the first female US Air Force pilots. I then was fortunate to spend 28 years in a major aerospace firm and worked on some of the best programs in the world including the F-23, F-35, B-2, Global Hawk and many I can’t tell you about…. I hope I can bring my real life experiences into my writing so you can appreciate my work.
