Praise for Stranger Stars:

I was completely hooked me from the start, plunging me back into the action where 'Ruled Out' left off. It's satisfying and reassuring to be back with these characters.

This piece of the adventure definitely gets darker.

This series reminds me of why I originally fell in love with this genre. Cameron Cooper’s stories truly rival the greats, like Frank Herbert.

The inventive nature of this series is beyond any I have read. Simply Stunning!

The Carinds can't win, but refuse to lose.

The huge reveal at the end of book 5 plays a large role in this book in a rather unexpected way.

Fantastic series! Highly recommended! Two more books coming. I cannot wait to see what Danny and her team do next.

I loved this book! Great characters, great storyline. Old and new characters. I love this series!

Ratings and reviews

Compelling, riveting and enthralling! I was completely hooked from the start and plunged back into the action where 'Ruled Out' left off. It's satisfying and reassuring to be back with these characters. I admire Cameron Cooper's style which is able to transplant me into this complex world of space cities and space ships, making me feel like I'm there! What amazing new worlds are being created in this series through descriptions that are detailed, relevant and intriguing. I feel like I have a vested interest in the welfare of Danny and her crew / extended family of friends which is what personalises and makes this war story so interesting. Over the course of this Iron Hammer series (& the Imperial Hammer series before it) various characters have been introduced gradually, building the interesting cast with which I have a rapport. I loved how they all evolved and interacted during this latest book. I can highly recommend this latest book in the Iron Hammer series and especially advocate reading all the books in order. If you want to enjoy these characters in their fully enriched complexity then it's even better to read the Imperial Hammer series beforehand.

Wow, the world-building scenarios just keep getting better and better. Loving this series and the way Danny never lets up. Thought the way the Bai finally make an appearance was great and the detailed description of their secret home was really something. Of course what stuck out was how you had them take Danny, and those with her, to one of their worlds the Terrans destroyed and how they described everything they had done to the Bai and why they would never reveal themselves. I did have a comic moment and I don't know why it hit me that way, but there's a scene with dinner mints that for some reason made me laugh out loud, think it was the "old earth thing to do" that hit me as funny. Anyway, do not pass up this awesomely descriptive story, with it's memorable characters, and for sure read the series for some great sci-fi action, thriller.

This is the sixth book in the Iron Hammer series and the storyline continues to be unpredictable, entertaining, engrossing and realistic. The characters are fantastic; along with the storytelling, development and world building. This is another great read by Cameron Cooper.
