I have recently read the science fiction novel entitled, Von Braun's Gambit, Starshatter Book # 4 in the series which was wriiten by the up and coming Indie author who goes by the pen name of Black Knight.
After the victory on the planet Goar, the crew of the Starshatter starship takes a well deserved break from fighting the aliens who enslave whole populations. Their furlow turns out to become several adventures and battles against the forces of evil who wish to exterminate and/or enslave the Terrans and their uplifted Terran brothers and sisters. The dark face of a secret society and an old enemy of mankind has been hiding in another dimension only visiting to abduct children and steal supplies to continue their depraved lifestyle. In one of these raids, one of the crew members was kidnapped and taken to a secret location to be questioned and tortured. This set in motion the crew's telepath to lead a force of Terrans to rescue him. We also have a battle between a space witch, a good alien, Italian elite troops, militia and villagers of a small Bulgarian village against an army of the unliving who take the form of vengeful ghosts. Also, during this time we have an adventure to deliver the Asgardian member of the crew who was mortally wounded in the battle on Goar and in need of medical attention from his own race of giants in the realm of Midgaard.
Again, in this fourth of the Starshatter series of books, the action continues. This book engages the reader to enter this alternative universe and one finds oneself forming a relationship with the characters and cheering for the good guys as they help in the fight for the survival of the Terrans. We come to learn even more about the protagonists, antagonists and more of the history of this alternative dimension of Earth and its Terran colonies who live on several planets in an area called, Finge space as well as the history of the alien races which seek the destruction of all things Terran.
After reading this book, I so look forward to reading book # 5. I can highly recommend all the Starshatter books up to number four for all lovers of a good science fiction story. One day in the not too distance future I can envision, Dark Knight being considered as one of the great authors in the science fiction genre of literature.
