Product Description
Amidst an uneasy peace between the Autonomists and the Terrans, Major Ariane Kedros and her partner, Matthew Journey, have discovered alien ruins on a remote planet — ruins that bear evidence to an ancient and highly advanced technology. But their discovery has drawn the interest of high stakes players from every corner of the universe — including that of the rogue leader of a fringe Terran sect. Ari must find a way to stop him, before they all become ancient history...

4.0 out of 5 stars
Fast-paced and very satisfying, Feb 24 2010
By Summer Ficarrotta - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Vigilante (Mass Market Paperback)
While I enjoyed "Peacekeeper", "Vigilante" really reached another level. Once I started reading it I had difficulty putting it down, which for me is the best way to gauge how much I like a book. Suspenseful, wry dialog,characters I actually cared about, and just the right amount of action, which never dropped to the level of gratuitous violence. Definitely thumbs up.

Vigilante, Dec 29 2010
By Helen J. Keever "Caspar's feeder" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Vigilante (Mass Market Paperback)
I have been reading SF for 40 yrs and I still couldn't understand what the heck was going on. The text was so filled with military abbreviations that I had trouboe following the story. I read the whole book because I had bought the 3 in the series expecting something like Kris Longknife or Huff's gunnery sergeant. This one has absolutely no sense of humour. I ploughed my way through it but I have no idea of the plot. I don't think I shall even try the next 2. I am sorry that it wasn't my cup of tea because I like a series.
I bought the book from Amazon and hope I can sell it back.

5.0 out of 5 stars
exciting military science fiction thriller, Oct 11 2009
By Harriet Klausner - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Vigilante (Mass Market Paperback)
Everyone who knows of Armed Forces Consortium of Autonomous Worlds (AFCAW) Reserve Major N-pilot Ariane Kedros besides her partner Matthew Journey sees her differently. The Terran Exploration League (TEL) believes the Aether Exploration pilot is a war criminal who needs execution for the murder of billions in one of their solar systems (see PEACEKEEPER); her side the Autominists believes her to be a war hero. Although she did her duty she agrees with the Terrans that she deserves to die, but refuses to surrender to them.
Someone with obvious insider help, strong connections and capital steals a temporal distortion bomb at the same time that tension mounts between the Autominists and the Terrans. The AFCAW directs Kedros and Journey to fly Master Sergeant Joyce to G-145, an enigmatic orb that seems in the middle of nowhere yet has drawn strong attention from both sides of the hostile Cold War and the unknown alien Minoans. As Kedros arrives with her human CAW cargo, the terrorists who stole the bomb also have come to this remote planet with plans to ignite it on G-145 as their leader has vengeance and justice in mind for past crimes.
This exciting military science fiction thriller obviously stars Kedros who is overloaded with guilt because she knows she can never make right what she did though her side of the hostilities appreciates her following orders; an interesting ethical dilemma that remains valid in real life. However, although Kedros is the attraction, the fast-paced story line works because of the multiple differing viewpoints re right and wrong between species and within a species. VIGILANTE is a strong action-packed sequel to the exciting PEACEKEEPER; driven to hyperspeed by a deep characterization who make the Reeve universe feel genuine.
