I was not compensated beyond receiving a free beta copy, nor was asked by the author to write a positive review.Simply put, Star Brigade is good. Its one part superhero story and one part space opera, and mixes a cast of characters skillfully in a way that is vivacious without feeling muddled to the reader.
Its mythology is memorable, and creates a living world that draws a reader in with its plausibility.The story revolves around the Star Brigade, a small counter-terrorist unit made up of both human and alien members and tasked with stopping threats to an interplanetary union of races. The Brigade has fallen on tough times following the departure of it's former CO after a disastrous op that left him haunted. He is coaxed out of retirement when a previously-defeated alien known as Maelstrom has resurfaced and begins attacking all over the universe.While the summary of the story may sound like the plot of an 80's action movie, the pacing, writing, and characters raise it above that. Throughout Ekeke interweaves different storylines, yet keeps the clarity of the overall plot intact despite the jumps in time and space.
The Special Operations Brigade was the secretive specialist branch of the Grand Army of the Galactic Republic, dedicated to deploying various operatives for intelligence gathering and specialised combative operations that fell outside of the vast majority of the Galactic Republic's military command structure.
This makes for an excellent and continually fresh story that moves along at a sound pace. The characters run the gamut from a wise-cracking robotic alien, to a tempestuous second-in-command who has mixed feelings about the return of her old CO, to an alien slave girl with untapped potential. Most of the main characters feel well-balanced between fallable and While the breadth of characters does not leave them as developed as the reader might like at times, this is easy to overlook considering the solid story.One thing that stands out as well is the level of detail devoted to the story. The reader gets a good sense of what is going at all times, and what the surroundings and most of the characters look like. My only complaint would be that some of the alien races could have been described a bit more to give the reader a clear picture of them. Importantly though, the world feels real, and the changes in human society wrought by contact with other intelligent life and vice versa are one of the subtle gems of the story.The dialogue is good and will resonate with a lot of readers. It has the right mixture of comedy, seriousness, and information delivery that most readers will likely enjoy.
It reads like many a novel I’ve read - Scott Sigler’s style jumps to mind for some reason.Overall, I liked the book here, and even better, I think it's the basis for a compelling series. If you want an entertaining sci-fi romp that still delivers in the details department, I would certainly recommend this book. While this book is definitely in the military science fiction genre, it takes a while to get started; a long while! Most of the book is about the “Star Brigade”, of course, but it’s really about it falling apart.
That’s where the main character, Captain Habraum Nwosu, comes in. He has to come back to the Star Brigade and get it back into shape before the budget-cutters have their way and disband the entire Brigade. The problem is, Captain Nwosu, is now a single parent and prior to his departure While this book is definitely in the military science fiction genre, it takes a while to get started; a long while! Most of the book is about the “Star Brigade”, of course, but it’s really about it falling apart. That’s where the main character, Captain Habraum Nwosu, comes in.
He has to come back to the Star Brigade and get it back into shape before the budget-cutters have their way and disband the entire Brigade. The problem is, Captain Nwosu, is now a single parent and prior to his departure from Star Brigade, his entire Combat Team, except for one, was killed while under his command.But, the consensus amount the existing senior officers of Star Brigade, which amount to two individuals, is that Captain Nwosu is the only one with the moxie and know-how to get the job done. So, Commander Samantha D’Urso, the only survivor of Captain Nwosu’s former combat team, is sent to try and talk him in to coming back. She doesn’t really want to do that to her friend.
She knows he has a small son that is still grieving over the lost of his mother and Habraum’s wife. Yet, that’s the job she’s been assigned and she means to successfully accomplish it. One other character, Atom Greystone, is also sent to retrieve Captain Nwosu, but he only wants him back on his terms. Greystone is a Ministry of Defense flunky, who has no meaningful military background, yet he sees himself as the savior of the Star Brigade, with the help of Captain Nwosu. Only thing is, he wants Captain Nwosu to bow to his command so he can take all the glory for the results and none of the blame if the Star Brigade doesn’t work out.We read bits and pieces about Captain Nwosu’s former experiences and learn that everyone in Star Brigade has some kind of “maximum power”. This means they are superheroes. Some have incredible strength, or the ability to shoot photon blasts from their hands.
Others can move with speed and grace that can’t normally happen with such a large species. And finally, one can kind of move through stuff. Anyway, that’s why the are here, to concentrate all these talents into one super fighting brigade, except the war is over and they are finding themselves on the short-end of the budget ledger.The gist of this book is background.
The entire book is background on the galaxy or universe where the book is set. We get exposed to the entire political scene of the Galactic Union (GU) and the Galactic Union of Planetary Republics (GUPR). Also, there are aliens, lots and lots of aliens. In fact, Earth doesn’t even exist, although there are humans who now claim another planet, but that’s a whole story unto itself.
You’ll read about it and you’ll read about the Korvenites, a race of psionic power peoples who have came upon hard times. All this background information gets a little tedious after awhile and you find yourself wishing that the author would just get on with the story. He does, eventually, then the book ends!I found the book interesting although I don’t understand why I had to learn how to pronounce Mandarin and Hindu words just to cuss!
Not only are all the alien names hard to pronounce, but you also have to pronounce Mandrin and Hindi cuss words! A little overkill if you ask me, but the author is well traveled and used his time wisely learning the most useful words of those two languages, I suppose!I just might read the second book, “Star Brigade: Maelstrom”, but not anytime soon. At least I think this next book will have all the action in it.

Star Brigade: Resurgent (Star Brigade #1) by C.C. Ekeke is a good old fashion space opera sci-fi! It started a bit slow but picked up and didn't slow down. I myself kind of liked the Korvenite mind powers esp. When the big shot was able to dismantle the ship to get the prisoners free just with the power of his mind.
I thought that even Yoda or Darth Vader couldn't do that! I enjoyed the book because the fights and action well written and characters well developed.

Can a disgraced soldier be humanity’s savior?A string of terrorist attacks explode across Galactic Union Space. The culprit: the Korvenite Liberation Front. Their target: humankind.
If left unchecked, the Korvenites’ vendetta will bring the Union–and humanity—to their knees.The elite Star Brigade unit once produced some of the Union’s finest soldiers. And amongst Star Brigade’s roster, Captain Habraum Nwosu was the best. Was—until one catastrophic battle annihilated both his team and Star Brigade’s reputation. Now Nwosu has fled his post, disgraced and broken. Against a foe as merciless as the Korvenites, Star Brigade needs to be at its best. But with a dwindling roster and Habraum Nwosu’s absence, the Brigade’s best might not be enough. And this time, failure is not an option.Summary:At first, the story was a little bit bogged down with introducing all the characters from the different worlds as they interacted with each other.
Once everyone was in pace the pace picked up as the struggle to rebuild the Star Brigade and the fight with the Korvenite Liberation Front took off. Habraum Nwosu's world was destroyed after a nearly fatal mission lead to the death of most of his team just before he learned of the death of his wife and unborn daughter in a space ship accident. Habraum left with his son to try and rebuild their lives until he learned that the brigade could be disbanded.At the same time the Korenvites were about to step up their campaign to free their people and retake their world. Now it was easy to sympathize with their vow to release their people from the interment camps. When asked if people from other worlds build colonies on their world they didn't mind until they were being overrun.
It wasn't until an action by a few caused a catastrophe killing millions on Earth that lead to the capture and enslavement of their race. At first glance you would think that they had a right to their freedom until they drive of their leader, Maelstrom, to enact revenge again all that support human. One act of violence never supports another and just leads to more bloodshed.The Star Brigade has members from many different worlds who through their diversity of culture and skills each have something unique to add if they can learn to work as a team if they just have enough to to prove themselves. It was fascinating how Abraham’s struggle to rebuild the Star Brigade led him to recruit an old enemy that could either help or hinder him depending how the others react.
There were many things left unresolved and for one need to find out how it all ends. The story is large, and carries us with it. At first it seems like a familiar ring of two-fisted Space Operatic tropes worthy of E.E. “Doc” Smith: the soldier with a regretful past who’s called back to lead.

The driven, vengeful villain.Yet Ekeke makes the reader love these characters. They are vibrant and unique, each possessing secrets and fears and goals, even when the reader is reminded of these with a heavy hand. Narrative focus jumps between characters, but feels more cinematic than jarring; there are few moments of estrangement or loss of direction, and Ekeke’s most moving language is when the characters interact with love or with emotional pain.
Special Operations Brigade Star Wars 2
The “enemy race” is given sympathetic treatment as well, although overwhelmed by the main antagonist’s sheer force of hubris, which may be intentional. The book’s theme illustrates how hate (in the form of racism/speciesism) clouds our actions, after all.The world-building is incredible and consistent, delivering a myriad of races, worlds, languages and cultures without (and I am highly pleased by this) resorting to exoticism or cultural appropriation. Even measurements of time are different, but peripherally close enough to require no explanation. Ekeke never lets his orvs slip into hours, or macroms to minutes.If there is something that snagged at my reading experience, it is that additional editing is warranted. There are points where a conversational tone distracts from the narrative, and enough small grammatical irregularities (never misspelling; rather suggesting the shuffling of sentences or rephrasing during the rewrite process) to evoke the occasional wince. Despite this, Star Brigade’s well-wrought adventure, glory, political drama and heroics brought me to a cathartic ending.
I would dive again into Ekeke’s worlds without reservation.The print version uses both paragraph breaks and paragraph indents together, which is unconventional for a print book that isn’t nonfiction. It makes me wonder whether the digital version took predence (assuming it uses the same format). This is a great book.I gave it 4 stars but it's more of a 4.5-4.75 stars. Sometimes I take notes when I read a book because I want to try ( I stress try) to give it a good, thorough review.
I wish I had done that this time. There's probably no way my review can do the book the justice it deserves. There are a lot of characters, species and locations in this book. At first it seemed I wouldn't be able to keep it all straight in my head (hence why I wish I started taking notes at the beginning) This is a great book.I gave it 4 stars but it's more of a 4.5-4.75 stars.

Eventually I was able to keep up and at no time did I feel like any of the characters were a waste of time or precious space in the story. I say the word story but in reality instead of feeling like I was reading a book, I felt like I was watching an awesome Sci-Fi show.
The many characters and jumping from scene to scene give it that feeling of a lot of things going on in this universe. In a good way.There is a lot of world building and background setting done and done well. We know the political state of the universe and the many alien species (who hates who and why). The author does a really good job setting the stage so to speak.
I liked his style of writing. The book flows well. Like most books these days, it does end on a cliffhanger. Like the season finale of a show, with that last scene to keep you in suspense until the next season starts.
And for me it will because I am definitely going to read the next book in the series. This was a good story, with an incredibly rich world (Or should I say universe). I really enjoyed learning about the characters and how they meshed together. My biggest critique is the writing style and descriptions of things. The author gets so into using new terms and making up alien terms, that some portions of the book go right over my head. Descriptions of aliens themselves is a great example.

Another example of annoyance is the units of measure. While we can guess, he uses terms like 'orv, metrid' instead of terms that we could easily recognize and relate to.Regardless of those criticisms being superficial, I still enjoyed the book and will continue with the series. Okay read - probably will not continue with this seriesThere are certain things I get and don’t get with this author - He spent so much time coming up with so much detail.

Star Brigade Resurgent is the beginning of what promises to be an engaging series. The organization is a sort of galactic Special Forces, and at the start of the story, political pressures and battle losses have combined to nearly destroy it. Habraum Nwosu, former Star Brigadier and war hero, is tapped to revive the moribund fighting force. In the galaxy, various groups - the Kedri, the Korvenites, and the human-lead Galactic Union, are locked in political intrigue, military conflict, or terrorist-led retaliations for prior conflicts.
An unprepared, untried, and somewhat unwilling Star Brigade is drawn inexorably into the web of machinations, and eventually forced into combat. Their survival, and eventual victory, sets the stage for the resurgent Star Brigade to play a key role in galactic events to come. Ekeke has a gift for cinematic description, and an inventive flair for alien languages, cultures, and behaviors. The world-building proceeds piecemeal, in tandem with the unfolding action and the development of the main characters' personalities. This story is a massive undertaking, Tolkien-esque in scale, and the author for the most part rises to the challenge. I definitely want more of the Star Brigade!
Boy, I had a difficult time with all the minutiae at the beginning of the book. Ekeke seemed to give every being a name and backstory. After a couple of chapters, I just gave up trying to remember the cast of characters and figured that important beings would be reoccurring in scenes. Once I let go, I started to enjoy this entire universe. The story reminds me of the colonization of North America. It makes me wonder if our species will be bigoted and never out grow it. Will we always have power Boy, I had a difficult time with all the minutiae at the beginning of the book.

It makes me wonder if our species will be bigoted and never out grow it. Will we always have power mad individuals in government and does being a radical equate with violence.
I am enjoying the characters personalities and interaction. I love the idea of species with mind based abilities, even if Maelstrom reminds me of the Borg queen manipulating the collective for 'the common good'. I have already purchased the second book and will dig into it once I read my borrowed library books. I can't wait to chew n the next episode.
