Fifty years ago, Mira, humanity’s last hope to find new resources, exited the solar system bound for Proxima Centauri b. Seven years into her mission, all transmissions ceased without warning. Mira and her crew were presumed lost. Humanity, unified during her construction, splintered into insurgency and rebellion. Now, an outpost orbiting Pluto has detected a distress call from an unpowered object entering Sol space Mira has returned. When all attempts at communications fail, S&R Black, a Sol Federation Marine Corps search and rescue vessel, is dispatched from Trident Station to intercept, investigate, and tow the beleaguered Mira to Neptune. As the marines prepare for the journey, uncertainty and conspiracy fomented by Trident Station’s governing AIs, begin to take their toll. Upon reaching Mira, they discover they’ve been sent on a mission that will almost certainly end in catastrophe. The Derelict saga is a suspenseful mashup of hard military sci-fi, space opera, and mystery. Some mysteries shouldn’t be solved.

A Sci-Fi, Space Opera Saga worth reading. And by that I mean one that a person in the present day can relate to, or read without a scientific background or a PhD in languages.I've read a LOT of these types of books lately, and while I enjoyed most of them, I was somewhat left feeling lost because there was no pronunciation guide provided. That left me feeling somewhat removed from the story from constantly having to figure out how to pronounce the names/terms presented. NOT SO with this book.
Also, the other BIG thing was,,,EDITING. Wow! What a concept. I am SO glad Cooley took time to have the book edited. It made it so much easier to read not having to wonder if the 3 different names, in 2 pages, were a new character, or the same person.
Some of the characters already have their personality set, but the ones that need to progress/show development, do. And NOT in a stereotypical manner. What's going on? Will the humans figure out what the AI's are trying to accomplish, or will the AI's eventually come out on top? I can't wait to find out.
Having become a fan of his from his more horror slanted novels, I am excited to see where this new venture takes me. The only problem I perceive, is the time I will have to wait for the next book in the series to come out. But I will.

Derelict Marines Derelict Saga Volume 1 Paul E Cooley Books Reviews
3 stars instead of two due to the relatively low price, in this case you get what you pay for -- some content with a lot of padding. While the story was somewhat interesting, it is clear the author deliberately beat around the bush and pushed in extra detail to delay major events until the next book, rather than write a longer book that got to the point in a timely manner and to major plot events.
Case in point -- I don't think I have ever read a book that wasn't about coffee that mentioned coffee so many times. No joke, coffee is mentioned about every third paragraph (to be specific, 58 times). It got to the point where I wondered if maybe this was some kind of brilliant metaphor for something that would come out in textual analysis, some kind of amazing subtext that would reveal itself -- and who knows, maybe in the sequel (which I did buy) it will all come out that this was some vital clue. But if it was, it wasn't clear here. What it seemed like instead is that a lot of very specific details about who went through what door first after mundane things like briefings, who saluted, who had X cups of coffee, etc., were included. I suspect the strategy was to boost the word count vs. making an interesting story.
Bravo Paul Cooley, your transition from horror to science fiction was masterfully done. I love the pace of this gripping adventure, you set your universe up convincingly and I can't wait to see what book two has in store!
When I received the latest e-mail from ShadowPublications, I was hoping there would be more information about a 4th sequel to the Black, my favorite horror story for at least the past 10 years. However, there was information about Derelict Marines, which I snapped right up. Since that happened, I have not wanted to stop reading it, and am looking forward to any other Derelict related works that may appear.
Derelict Marines is the first book in a new space marines series by Paul E. Cooley. The same careful attention to technical detail that thrilled readers of his Black series has been applied to the vagaries of interstellar space travel, combat and operations. One of the consistent styles that Cooley applies to his book is the slow burn - a gradual increase in tension and complexity that serves as a simmering literary fuse. The conflict is introduced by peppering seemingly disparate elements throughout the build-up to the explosive climax, where the careful machinations of the plot manifest with such rapidity that it becomes difficult to put the book down.
The book feels a bit like a season of television, with such a delicious cliffhanger at the end, that you can’t wait to see the next season. In this case, it’s the next book in the series, where hopefully some of the burning questions that were carefully introduced will be answered.
