With this first book by rookie author Craig Shields already winning the highly coveted "Best use of a Greek mythology metaphor in a space battle" award, what more can be said? A whole lot, it turns out. Taking place on a future Earth long after old Earth has been abandoned, the political reality is laid out: an Emperor maintains a strangle hold over the civilized East and the subjugated West, and the main character, Markus Tarver, lives the charmed life of the grandson of the man who won the war with the West. Amid a background of space skirmishes with an unknown enemy and the societal fallout of the ability to "renew" the dead so long as their brain remains intact, Markus struggles between the privileged identity he was born with and the life he can make for himself. As the story progresses a mystery of sort unfolds and gives rise to much of the tension and suspense, and while there are enough clues presented for the reader to guess more or less what is going on, it is more difficult to ascertain exactly who is behind it. The author has laid the groundwork for a believable and consistent sci-fi world more to the hard side of the spectrum, and throughout the story there are well developed characters with their own unique motivations that draw us in and make us want to learn more. Of particular note are the exquisitely crafted space battles that get the adrenaline flowing and keep the reader riveted. Even the training sequences are exciting. The story ends with revelations that could easily lead to a continuation of the story, but even alone this book is a worthwhile self-contained story that is well worth the read.Product details

Renew Book 1 Renew The Markus Tarver Chronicles eBook Craig Shields Reviews
Markus Tarver lives to play elite games, and pilot fighters for his home planet – the new Earth. Markus's life is a good one. And if he loses it, he can always Renew.
But in the pressure cooker that is fighter command, a poor little rich kid isn't given much of a chance. Markus needs to prove himself, and when death is merely an inconvenience, a risk is a very cheap thing.
Or is it?
Renew a good old-fashioned space romp, which in the mold of Stanislav Lem or Arthur C Clark, takes the reader that little bit further.
Excellent story with great technical detail.
It was a very engaging read, and was very evenly paced. I look forward to reading the next installment by this author!
I just bought this book and read it through in one sitting. It was a great space romp similar to the short stories in the old Asimov compilations.
This is a serial, book 1 of 3. The reader is left with mysteries that may be resolved in the later books. I read it in two sittings; it is short and a quick read. I want to read the next book.
This is the first sci-fi book I have read in many years and I really enjoyed it. Great characters and a great story leave me wanted to read the next book in the series! I'm looking forward to seeing where the story will go over the long run.
I read it on a whim after the author posted about it in a car forum we are both on (though he isn't someone I've interacted with on the forum).
Overall I really enjoyed it and I hope book 2 comes soon.
The only real issue I had was how much the first few chapters jumped around. Unfortunately when I started the book I was only getting a few minutes here and there and this made it a bit confusing and hard to follow. I think if I had been able to dedicate the time to get through those chapters in a single chunk it would have made for a better experience. Once it settled down on the lead character though it was a good easy read.
