A new mainstream novel of The Empire’s Corps!
After the disastrous mission to Lakshmibai, the very existence of the Commonwealth is called into question by politicians on Avalon. But as the political firestorm mounts, a call for help arrives from Thule, a highly-developed world facing a major insurgency in the wake of the Empire’s collapse. Reluctantly, the Commonwealth deploys the Commonwealth Expeditionary Force to Thule.
But all is not as it seems. The insurgents are receiving support from off-world powers, while bare light years across the border, Wolfbane – another successor state to the vanished Empire – is preparing for war ... and an old enemy plots her revenge. As the countdown to war begins, the CEF finds itself sinking in a quagmire of bitter hatred ...
... And nothing more than pawns in a very deadly game.
Retreat Hell The Empire Corps Book 8 eBook Christopher Nuttall
I love this series and this book is a perfectly fine piece of work but suffers from the all-too-common problem of being half a book. Well written though somewhat predictable, functions entirely to set up a cliffhanger exactly where one would expect it to be.I will buy the next book in the series but I do wish authors and publishers would either stop this silliness and admit that it's a half a book in advance, or wait till its finished and charge appropriately. I would rather buy the book as a finished 2 volume piece so I can get to the end of a story than live life as though serial publication from the days of the 19th century was inevitable.
Good first half of the next book in the series. Unless you want to slog through re-reading it a year from now to get back in synch with the story I recommend you wait for the next one and buy them together.

Retreat Hell The Empire Corps Book 8 eBook Christopher Nuttall Reviews
This is difficult book to like but you have to remember it is part of a series of book. The book explores what happens when the Commonwealth (who is treaty bound) has to help out an ally put down a insurrection led by a marine. It is not going to be a happy time for the Commonwealth. Most of the characters do get some character growth but there are a few exceptions. The professor's wife who in "to the shores" wanted to be nurse for good reason ,has suddenly picked up cooking as her new hobby. The reason she changed her mind could be explained but she now is just back a two dimension figure. The sad politician wanting revenge for his only son being KIA could be more developed. However most characters are questioning their abilities and the author proves that they should. Meanwhile spies on various sides are everywhere mucking things up or just taking notes. Some characters, and readers who like happy endings are in for hell.
If you've read previous reviews from me on this series you know I think it's a good, fun read that holds your attention. Chris Nuttal continues his practise of having quite a long essay at the end of the book, perhaps 10% of the books length, expounding on what he was thinking about that led to him writing the story. I'm actually starting to enjoy that as much as the rest of the book, although I use that as a pleasant dessert after the main course of the actual story.
In this story we have absolute space opera. Two growing space empires rising from the rubble of a collapsing Galactic Empire, one supported by the Trade Federation that we last saw in Book 5 of the series [although there's no actual support in the book], the other very strong. This book takes us to the point that the two new kids on the block have started a war, although the plot twists en route to that point hold the reader's attention well.
Chris Nuttall is a good writer. If you enjoy this genre - space opera, with a military twist - the series is well worth reading. It's more than a series on battles though, there's a good element of politics and human interest in the series. If anything I find Mr. Nuttall is a little too positive about how bad large bureaucracies can get but I suppose fiction can't get away with quite as much reality as truth.
This is one of these books were I feel that I need to reiterate that I am in no way a professional reviewer and do not aspire to be one. Thus my ratings are heavily influenced by my personal tastes and I am afraid that this book wandered out of my comfort zone by quite some margin.
We are back to Avalon and the Commonwealth’s struggle to rebuild and stabilize the region. Unfortunately not all players share the visions of the leaders of Avalon and the Commonwealth. As a matter of fact, not all of the leaders of Avalon shares the greater visions for the Commonwealth.
The book, the story and the characters are as well written as in earlier books. However, this is a story of politics, manipulation, deceit, betrayal and general despair. To say that these elements in a story is not exactly my favorite elements would be quite an understatement. Actually they are really elements that I do not like at all. I know this is very much the main elements of several books in this series but they all had things in them that made me feel enjoyment when reading anyway.
The story begins with a politician at Avalon trying to pin the Lakshmibai failure onto the marines and subsequently use that as a political monkey wrench to isolate Avalon and stop offering military help to the Commonwealth members. Bad start. His plans are derailed but, unfortunately, the CEF blunders into yet another scenario which turns out to be a trap and an even worse one than the previous one. The words “not again” popped up in my head rather early in the book.
Old enemies return and, of course, makes things even worse than everyone thought they were. Things go from bad to worse and a good chunk of the book is rather depressing actually. At least if you are on the Commonwealths side. Unfortunately the book ends in a cliffhanger at a time when things looks really black. Needless to say I do dislike cliffhangers. Especially when used in a book like this they give a lingering I-really-did-not-like-this feeling after you close the book.
As I said, the technical aspects of the book are as good as one would expect from this author but it was really not my cup of tea. The one good thing I can say about the book is that it has set the stage for a nice comeback from the Commonwealth and I for one hope that this is the direction that the author plans to take. If the old enemy that returned is not getting a thorough spanking eventually then I am going to be mighty disappointed.
There are also some interesting technical developments by Avalon mentioned in the book that I hope will play a somewhat bigger role in future books than in this one.
If you like politics, manipulation, treachery etc…, or at least do not dislike them, then you will probably find this book a lot more enjoyable that I found it. It is a good book, just not my cup of tea as I wrote before.
I love this series and this book is a perfectly fine piece of work but suffers from the all-too-common problem of being half a book. Well written though somewhat predictable, functions entirely to set up a cliffhanger exactly where one would expect it to be.
I will buy the next book in the series but I do wish authors and publishers would either stop this silliness and admit that it's a half a book in advance, or wait till its finished and charge appropriately. I would rather buy the book as a finished 2 volume piece so I can get to the end of a story than live life as though serial publication from the days of the 19th century was inevitable.
