The stars have come to Iowa, and the earth will never be the same.

With the Nexus up and running, Van and crew become interstellar players in the fight for earth, but their enemies aren’t just from out in the black. Sensing massive profits, the scramble to exploit humanity pits Van against his own people—and Yotov, whose plans have finally come to fruition.

With political warfare, the Equal Grasp seeks to do what missiles cannot—remove Van from the picture. But he’s a lot tougher than that, and Icky’s hammer is swinging freely, and the crew are international stars, portrayed as the heroes of a world that reaches beyond the sky—into deepest space and beyond.

With one last throw of the dice, Yotov will unleash the hidden reserve of power she’s been hiding. If it works, Van will be dead. Or worse.

Because Yotov and the Equal Grasp don’t just want power. They want control of life itself, and they’ll stop at nothing to get it.

    The 23rd book in the series keeps up the pace of the previous 22 – it’s an excellent read with some neat twists along the route to the last page.

    Loved this. Couldn’t put it down. It has all the excitement and usual banter we have come to expect and enjoy from Terry and Jeff. The characters and locations are so real, you feel you know them and are there with them. If you like adventure and cheese, this is for you.

    Star Trek and Star Wars fans will love every iteration of this series. It‘s personable. Exciting. Fun. The banter has me giggling or laughing quite frequently. I love it!

    Where to next?
    That’s as close as I am going to get to a spoiler, the headline for my review.I have been having so much fun with this series and book 23 kept the action going. Van is large and in charge, no more fooling around, he is out for blood. It is good to see him totally dominant for a change, not simply reacting.There are many interesting, quirky sequences in the story. I especially liked the journey to Canada and am now a Corner Gas fan. This was a Funboy heavy book, but that’s ok, he is a hoot. I would like to see more of Rab though. Something more than just piloting the Frankie or firing his BAG.As always, I am looking forward to what comes next.Cheers!

    Amazing
    Sir Terry Maggert is a writer extrodinaire. Mark Twain nor Earnest Hemingway have anything on him. Sir, you spin an undeniably excellent take. Keep on, please.

    Enjoyed!
    A rouser!! Continuation of good characters..danger…decisions, moral reflection..just what we expect from this series. High drama, smart moves and counter7 moves, and a semi good ending. Really looking forward to the final book in this series. Just wish I didn’t have to wait so long!!

    The best kind of space-ish space opera. It’s more about people than tech.
    Backyard Spaceship is a series that you hope never ends. Equal parts personal connections and humor. Each character , sorry Icky, is fully fleshed. The story flies by at combi-drive speed. Midwestern good humor and scary bad guys in equal proportions. Enjoy yourself with a great read.

    Continuing a great series
    Another great chapter in a great series. The characters are realistic even if nonhuman and the locations are well depicted. On the plus side, we get to anticipate another chapter. I am looking forward to reading more soon.

    excellent story
    I hate waiting for “ next one”. That said this, like the previous 22 is a good read. Would make an excellent series on Prime with the right cast and crew. So guess we wait.

    finished it in less than a day
    What can I say? This series keeps getting better and better. Expertly written, relatable characters. Peacemaker wars was a perfect parallel companion series to this as well. I’ve been following since the beginning and any sci-fi nerd would love every moment of it. Looking forward to the next book and REALLY looking forward to the First Peacemaker series.
