Starship Oblivion: Sanctuary Outpost
(2021)(The fifth book in the USS Hamilton series)
A novel by Mark Wayne McGinnis
The situation is dire. The Alliance is crumbling. Thine, Pleidian, and Human civilizations are each at a crossroads for their very survival. Captain Galvin Quintos has a plan to defeat the Grish and the far more dangerous Varapin. But to pull this off, he’ll have to go it alone, cut ties with the US Space-Navy, and become a true outlaw—a full-fledged pirate. That and say goodbye to his loyal friend Derrota, Admiral Block, and Captain Gail Pristy.
Feeling he may have just jumped from the frying pan into the fire, Quintos is forced to build new strategic alliances with the Pylors. But to have their help and access to their ragtag fleet of warships, he’ll need to prove himself. He’ll need to embrace ruthless marauding to acquire a priceless gem onboard the luxury starliner Pecunious. Looming, though, is an epic battle with the Varapin elite Vanquishing Shadow Strike Force—a battle that could very well dictate who will emerge victorious in this war.
Yes, Gavin will no longer have US Space-Navy assets at his back, but he will have Hardy, the Symbios, and one eight-mile-long Gorvian technology warship called Oblivion.
Reviews:
Military Science Fiction at its Best
I read a lot of space opera scifi - Ken Lozito, BV Lason, Craig Alanson, and - yes - Mark Wayne McGinnis. Mark is my favorite. He blends the military forces, like the US Space Navy with great science fiction battles that make for pure entertainment. Thanks, Mark, for another winning scifi space opera. - Kelly W
The Action is Always Going
Again we find Captain Galvin Quintos fighting for the alliance, but this time without their backing. He has gone rogue, his old XO now Captain of her own ship has been ordered to find Quintos and bring him back to earth. But things go bad from the start for her. Quintos arrives at Haven hoping to get the right to start raiding ships from the head of this pirate plant. - BritM
Sensational reading, dramatic and captivating
I enjoy reading Mark's books; they are so life-like, realistic, and full of action. It’s possible to feel the action and drama unfold in front of you. Written with descriptive passion where it feels you are part of the action without being overly written.
I stumbled on Marks's creation and now am a total fan of his books. Start with the first in this series, The USS Hamilton Ironhold Station. Enjoy. - Malcolm S
Always a Good Read
When I see a new MWM book it goes right to the top of my pile as the next one to read. I'm so enjoying this series (the USS Hamilton Series) love the characters and the plots are very interesting and he keeps throwing new things in. A sudden ending but we are not left on a cliff! I hate cliffhangers. - Trudi
Traveling
Following the exploits of Captain Quintos, now pirate Quintos we go on another thrill ride as he and his crew are battling the ghouls and the Grish. This is not just another nook about scifi military tactics, but an evolving story about fighting evil and doing it his way. Enjoy the ride, this is a great read.
