5.0 out of 5 stars An immersive experience for any CMDR

With over 600 hours of space flight under the belt, this book (in it's audiobook format) took my breath away. Hearing the twin engines of the Cobra and how it's presented in this book makes my hair stand on end without fail.

Truly a phenomenal book for fans of the series and newcomers unfamiliar with the game alike.

Fly safe, CMDR! o7

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Book and I found it as Engaging as the Dune Series
Reviewed in the United States on June 13, 2017
Verified Purchase
My first time reading a book by Drew Wagar and I am a huge Elite fan, this book drew me right in originally because I wanted something with story around the game. I have read all of Frank Herbert's Dune series and I can tell you the politics and backstabbing and material in this book very much reminds me of the complexity of the Dune series. He captures the plotting, scheming, in-fighting, double crossing of space politics very well and manages to create engaging characters, the most important of course being Salome.

The only part of the story I found to be a bit far fetched is there was too much backstabbing, quick forgiveness, between a few of the characters. Minor quip as in why would a character who was just double crossed instantly be grateful for a reversal.

One can only hope humanity isn't this greedy when we start colonizing the stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous tale, dutifully played out on page.
Reviewed in the United States on November 4, 2020

I’ve just finished reading this adventure in words, and I’m quite pleased. I’m new-ish to Elite and the world it’s been building for so long, having just joined the fray with Elite: Dangerous. That said, I thoroughly enjoy what the game offers and as I delve deeper I desire lore and stories to flesh out my experience.

With Reclamation I can feel this author’s care for the subject, and I can appreciate the details that are brought to life.

With all that said, I must now return to the game for a time, until I acquire time enough again to devote to another story. I’ll be in the black, catch me if you can. o7

5.0 out of 5 stars Elite wouldn't be the same without this
Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 2017

I can't believe i went two years and didn't pick this up. If you love Elite as much as most do, this should be required reading. You should be able to pick up an audio version by flying to the Prism system in-game and have your ship play it to you. Wait a minute.... somebody from Frontier needs to get on that.

I normally am not the "fan-fic" type and I had been given the misconception that's this what the Elite books were, but far from it. I will be going to pick up the other Elite books by the other authors and am really looking forward to Drew's second contribution to the series.

3.0 out of 5 stars Competent, maybe Dangerous, but definitely not Elite
Reviewed in the United States on September 8, 2016
Verified Purchase
I, too, remember the original, along with the Master 128 version and the sequels. Not just the official ones, but FFE3D and Oolite as well. Good games all. I was certified Elite by Acorn, in the early days. Play E:D and Horizons now.

So, how does this book stack up?

The first thing to bear in mind is that I'm a harsh reviewer when it comes to existing universes. A lot of the difficult work has been done, after all. I've reviewed a lot of fan fiction over the years, written some as well. I have intense difficulty in writing up to my expectations, which is where expectations aught to be. There's no higher rating than the best, for the obvious reason that it's the best, so there should be very little worthier of praise than that which merits the best. That is why other ranks exist, not to condemn but to show limits.

This book has limits. It's impossible to empathize with the characters. They're all unlikable, self-centred morons with zero compassion for anyone or anything else. If that was just the bad guys, it would be bad enough, truly evil people are very rare and very self-destructive. They're not effective villains. But when it's the good guys as well - then it's insane.

A farm boy gets in over his head and rescues a Senator, and in the big battle gets saved by a pilot who had left and returns - think that one got used in 1978.

Lots of minisodes here, welded together, rather than one cohesive story. I see the author's description bears striking resemblance to that of Anne McCaffery's, whose first Dragonrider novel was exactly that - independent short stories rewritten as a novel. It featured a heiress whose family was slain reclaiming her title then handing it off to a minder. There are some differences here, but they're mild.

So it's derivative. That's where it loses the second star.

So why rate it Competent-to-Dangerous? Because, once you subtract the derivative plot elements and obvious Plot Device This Way signs, the basic narrative hangs together well, the universe feels basically as it should, all the elements are right, the key ingredients are there. I do not regret buying the book, the author did a perfectly respectable job. It functions. If it were a trading vessel in this universe, it would probably be an upgraded Krait or Sidewinder. Something that'll carry a story but only to safe spaces.

5.0 out of 5 stars I felt like I was inside the book
Reviewed in the United States on February 23, 2017

This is the first Elite book I have read and I feel it's an excelent read. At first it took me a while to wrap what was happening but after a couple of pages it was great. The characters were very likeable and they way the author Drew Wagar describes every scene I felt I was inside the universe of Elite. The story behind the writing of the book was also geat. This made me buy the other set of books too. Plus the story is still ongoing in the game Elite Dangerous, can't wait for the sequel.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great space romp
Reviewed in the United States on March 29, 2018

Whether or not you play Elite Dangerous, this is a great sci-fi adventure story . All of the threads are well woven together, with plenty of excitement along the way

The characters appear to be heavily influenced by star wars, we have the equivalent of a Luke a leia, and a Han slash obi-wan character, but the author does a great job of making them just different enough to be unique. Hard to do with an oversaturated genre

The book paces along nicely once the main characters are established. The political backstory is well defined without being too long to bore you.

Overall a great read, which kept me wanting more.

I enjoyed this book both as a stand alone science fiction book and as a companion to the Elite Dangerous game. I'm a long time science fiction fan and I found this one of the best that I have read in a long time. There was good character development and interesting plots and sub-plots. I've read it through a couple of times (along with Elite: Premonition). I'd love to see another book in the series.

Als Fan des Spiels, hat mir dieses Buch sehr gut gefallen. Ein paar Fehler bzw. Ungereimtheiten zur Spielmechanik waren schon vorhanden, die mich persönlich gerade während einer Weltraumschlacht am Schluss gestört haben, jedoch schätze ich mich selbst in diesem Bereich sehr empfindlich ein. Ansonsten zieht einen dieses Buch mit seiner durchaus spannenden und gut geschriebenen Geschichte authentisch in die Galaxie von Elite:Dangerous und ich kann es jedem Fan des Spiels empfehlen.

Un ebook plutôt correcte dans l'univers d'Elite Dangerous. Sur le papier la trame dans l’ensemble est intéressent, cependant aucun des personnages n'est attachant et tombent parfois dans des clichés stupides. L'écriture reste correcte sans pour autant donner envie de dévorer le livre.
On regrette également le manque de cohérence d'un auteur à un autre.

Drew style of writing is fabulous, and its works are delightful: great characters, awesome backstories, complex relationships and psychologies. Something precious is all is that all books are very well connected to each other, which bring depth.
