It was interesting enough to continue reading the other books, although the series is not without its flaws - the author's strength is clearly the realism of his description of military operations, the science itself, and alien biologies, while the projection of fleet commanders as galactic diplomats is a stretch, there is way too much copy and paste in the text itself, explaining concepts over and over again (toned down a bit later in the series), and the descriptions of interpersonal relationships are pretty wooden. All that said, there are a lot of interesting ideas throughout the series, and the many unique and well-defined alien species are a highlight.My main issue with this latest book is the disconnect between the incredibly advanced nature of the technologies and civilizations humans encounter, and the ability of those humans to interact with those technologies and actually put them to productive use. Imagine a cockroach understanding how to use an iPhone and you get the idea. It's probably a necessary conceit for the author to bridge relatable humans and these incredibly advanced civilizations, but ridiculous to the point of distraction. Also one other thing: all I'll say is "midichlorians." ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Another awesome story! *by S***E on Reviewed in the United States on November 30, 2019* I've been reading books by this Author for several decades and his worlds have brought me great entertainment. This book is no exception! Vivid word play that draws you into the story like you were there. Well you are! Right there into the minds of the men and women and aliens in a universe on the verge of understanding! Thank you W.H. Keith Jr.! I love Science fiction and have even wrote some of my own stories. A few of which have been included in Anthologies. I owe my love for writing to W.H. Keith Jr., Larry Niven, Larry Correia, Michael Z. Williamson, Sarah Hoyt, and a host of other talented story tellers. This series has been a helluva ride and I hope to read more tales of this universe. Now if I can get another story from StarCorpman out of Mr. Keith that would be awesome! ### ⭐⭐⭐ Humans cannot get past their humanity *by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on November 30, 2020* A grand, sweeping tale of discovery and military science fiction. Solid human characters, excellent conscious artificial intelligences, amazing aliens. Many years into the future humankind has not come together and is still practicing politics. When confronted by alien civilizations and massive alien intelligences, humans fall back on the most primitive of responses— attack. This time we get lucky. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hk/products/147831027-bright-light-star-carrier-book-eight](https://www.desertcart.hk/products/147831027-bright-light-star-carrier-book-eight) --- *Product available on Desertcart Hong Kong* *Store origin: HK* *Last updated: 2026-05-05*
