Just finished Terminal Phase and it was awesome. Author ought to warn readers not to begin without whiplash protection from the speed th aa t the story moves. Loved it,loved it loved it, thanks Mr Hooks. Best read since your last one.
Just read A Cold Day in Mosul, excellent read and I happy to go and buy every other book I can find you’ve written and put my money where my eyes and mind just went, awesome read.
Just finished Terminal Phase,it is my third Ethan Galaal book the best yet loved the story the partnership with Bretta,the technical info on the various gadgets used in the surveillance they needed and a great finish.Look forward to the next one.Thanks to the author for the advanced copy to review.Anthony Brown.
Terminal Phase is ripped out of todays’s headlines and firmly in the here and now. Enough detail for the techies and action aplenty. Certainly in the page-turner class. Highly recommended.
Just finished Terminal Phase. What a great book. I’m an old spy vs spy cold war age and this brings us into the current age. Fast paced and easy to read from page one to the last page. Hard to put down once you pick it up. Plan on total immersion into the characters and the world today. You won’t be disappointed.

Isaac Hooke has just converted a life long Sci-Fi reader to his brand of Thriller. I have read others like Dan Brown but Isaac has delved into a new deeper level of attention to detail not found in other books. I will anxiously wait to read anything he writes. I only wish that I didn’t read so fast so I could enjoy his worlds a little longer. 46dianes is correct. Isaac’s books are hard to put down once you start reading.
Enjoyed “a cold day in Mosul. Kind of a modern day Indiana Jones type ride.

Just finished Forever Gate———Awsome!!!!!!!
Read the advance copy of Flagship, a SciFi novel. It takes place entirely in space, in a future world where humans are advanced galaxy travelers. I thoroughly enjoyed all of the action, characters and story line. It was a novel that made me think, and required a bit of an attempt to understand the complexity of characters. In other words, it was a great read for taking me to another place for a while. I read it quickly since it pulled me in so thoroughly, and I wanted to know more. It was the type of book that I wanted to be longer, and to continue with the next phase of the story. Hopefully there will be more of this novel to come. As with all of this author’s books, I highly recommend this novel.
Just finished “The Forevergate” (coincidentally on the 25th anniversary of my 42nd birthday). It was superb! As a life-long SF reader, I rate it amongst the best and will be looking for more titles from this author.
I have one question: why does “Hoodwink” sound like “Yoda” sometimes, he does? Is it to distinguish him as not really a human?
Many thanks.
Ken
Thoroughly enjoyed your short story “The Laurasians!”
The idea of “Create you own adventure ” was utilized in a few early computer games.
Never saw the books myself but seems complicated to pull off!
Wow! To find human skeleton of dinosaur remains, what a concept!
Just boarding Flagship. I’m sure to enjoy the adventure!
Do you have a schedule for future “A Captain’s Crucible” Books?
Any plans for continuing the ATLAS series beyond book 3?

Well here we are
Via amazon kindle app I have read some good Mil Sci fi but Issac, your in the top league. the creme du creme.
In fact you are the one author whose works are bought rather than “shared” on amazon.
Thank you for so many hours enjoyable reading and producing novels that have you shouting “Next” time after time.
The Argonauts series is so much more than a story I think I speak for all Argonautees that the characters depicted make it even more enjoyable
You know what I mean lol.
Keep up the good work.

Rades Fury
Hi Isaac. I would like to beta read for you. I have read almost all the books you have published. I have just started Rades Fury. I am a book reviewer and I sometimes help authors with editing or pointing out word errors. I would like to do that for you as I really enjoy your work.
I look forwatd to chatting with you.
Kelly
I have read all your books except the forever gate series which I will be reading shortly.
I really love the way you keep everyone in suspense on what is going on.
I hope you have more books coming out on Rade and Shaw I would like to know what happened
to Alex and Sil as young kids a nd young adults.
thank you for the great reading…
I also want to know what happened to Shaw & Alex? I read Mech Vs Dino where they went back in time with the Phant & were rescued , but was not in the next book with Rade & sil 70 years later!
Just read Star Warrior and found it to be absolutely brilliant and could not put it down until I finished it.
Isaac,
First, are you truly as young as you appear? If so, you put out a great book for being so young.
A small pet peeve. You use the term “these/those ones” fairly often or I would not bother to mention it. Perhaps it is a Canadian thing? Anyway, in your line of work you may want to stop as it is poor English. You just need to say these or those. “Ones” added is superfluous. Never having been to your part of Canada, it could be a colocquialism that others will notice. Not a bad thing, but . . .
I must tell ou that the Rade Gallal books have been superb and my personal favorite.
I forgot to mention that befor retiring from industry (my second career) I was a Corporate Vice President with L3 Technologies, responsible for new business. As such, one of my personal responsibilities was all proposals we submitted to clients valued at over $50 million. I have read and re-edited more proposals than I care to think of. I was the final quality arbiter. Each one had to be as perfect as humanly possible, especially when your competition was the likes of Lockheed, Northrop, or General Dynamics. We grew to over $14 billion before I retired in 2007.
I do not make this offer lightly, but If you ever want someone to be an advance publication reader please drop me an email. No one is perfect, but getting as close as you can is helpful.
Where can I leave a review? I haven’t seen any [;ace yet…
Mil-Sci-FI reader, love all things Rade-Team and Captains. Any chance these 2 series might get some new books?
Please tell me there’s going to be more Atlas books.😁
Hi Issac,
A cyborg with synthetic skin, no memory, and the charm of a switchblade roaming the Wastes with a technician and a sardonic robot sidekick, piecing together her identity while a sinister conspiracy closes in, this book was written for the cyberpunk reader who wants a solitary survivor with a mystery at her core. That reader has 1 category path to this series. The other 2 slots are sending someone else entirely.
Warden has 366 Amazon reviews at 4.2 star and 124 Goodreads ratings at 4.15 star. BSR at #355,992 at 323 weeks old. The review base confirms a real readership built over 6 years. The category architecture has been working against the book’s identity for the same 6 years, and the Amazon rating is part of the evidence.
Space Marine Science Fiction occupies 2 of 3 slots, one in a Books store format returning reduced Kindle visibility, both routing a reader who expects power-armored soldiers and military unit combat into a story about a lone female cyborg with no memory in a dystopian wasteland. The Space Marine reader and the cyberpunk reader share genre space but they arrive at a listing with different trope expectations. The reader who wanted Warhammer 40K unit warfare finds Rhea scrounging parts in the Wastes with a robot sidekick. That expectation gap is sitting in the Amazon rating. The 1 Cyberpunk Science Fiction slot at #657 is doing accurate identity work and it is doing it alone. The post-apocalyptic community, the dystopian sci-fi reader, and the cyborg fiction audience browsing dedicated shelves have no second or third pathway into a 4-book series. 2 slots have been sending the wrong reader for 6 years.
**Warden is missing the cyberpunk and dystopian readership that 2 of 3 slots have never routed toward it.**
**Category architecture:** Space Marine Science Fiction duplicates across 2 format variants, both pulling a military unit reader into a solo cyberpunk survivor story, which means the post-apocalyptic community, the dystopian sci-fi reader, and the cyborg fiction audience have no dedicated category path into Book 1 of a 4-book series. The rating gap between what Rhea’s story delivers and what the Space Marine slots promise is sitting in the Amazon star average and has been for 6 years.
**Goodreads shelf and community presence:** a single Science Fiction tag means this book does not appear on any of the reader-built cyberpunk, post-apocalyptic, or cyborg fiction shelves where the most engaged readers in this genre navigate between series. 11 written reviews against 124 ratings signals that the community layer has never been activated at the level a 366-review Amazon readership should support. The cyberpunk reader on Goodreads hunting for a female protagonist with a mystery identity and a dystopian world to explore is browsing shelves this series has never appeared on.
**Goodreads follower pipeline:** the reader who finishes Warden and wants to follow Rhea through the remaining 3 books has no mechanism on Goodreads to stay connected to this series, and the platform generates no social signal when new readers discover it. For a 4-book series with a 6-year head start, that pipeline gap has been compounding since launch.
I can fix all 3 of these gaps, and what that process uncovers goes further than the gaps themselves name. What those 3 gaps point toward is a category architecture rebuilt into cyberpunk, post-apocalyptic, and dystopian channels across the Kindle Store so that the reader who wants a synthetic-skinned amnesiac survivor and a conspiratorial wasteland mystery finally has more than 1 shelf path into a 4-book series, and a rating environment built on the right reader’s expectations rather than the wrong one’s. A Goodreads shelf and community foundation built around cyberpunk genre shelf presence, follower pipeline growth, and active list engagement that puts Warden in front of the post-apocalyptic reader and the cyborg fiction community already navigating that platform by protagonist type, by setting, and by series depth. What sits underneath all of it is a conversation about what a 4-book series with 366 reviews and a confirmed readership looks like when the architecture stops sending the wrong reader and the right one has a full set of pathways in. That is what the reply unlocks.
The cyberpunk reader who wants a female protagonist with no memory, a dystopian world to roam, and 4 books already waiting is on Amazon and Goodreads right now, browsing shelves this series does not appear on. The architecture has been the barrier for 6 years. That is a fixable problem.
Reply and I will show you exactly what I would change across the Chronicles of a Cyborg series and why.
