ARMS War for Eden by Stephen Arsenault

[The Great Snook]

I got this book from a Bookbub email. It didn't take me long to realize that I had read other books by this author as I was seeing the same MO. Basically the plot is our heroes just magically end up getting an unlimited amount of credits, technology that nobody else has, special skills no one else has, etc. and they use these to move a plot along. When I read the first couple of books of the AMP series I kind of felt the same way, they were fun, but it was the same over and over again with a lot of deux ex machina. Well this book is more of the same, just with different characters and a different universe. I will probably pass on reading more books in the series and I am probably going to have to be more careful of this author.

[My highlight] I imagine this has something to do with the fact that he manages to pump out more than half a dozen books a year.
