Great Spin off
This book is the first in a spin off series. The original series is "The Iron Fey" and the events from it are closely related to this story. The reader was first introduced to the main character Ethan during the iron fey series. He is now much older, and his perspective is a lot different.
I enjoyed seeing the characters I loved from the main series. The book was balanced really well where the new characters were never over shadowed, and I became just as invested in there story. This book should only be read after the original series. If not I do think the reader may have trouble understanding some of the events.

Love It
This is the second book in a spin off series, and once again Ethan has gotten involved in the Fey's problems. This is a really good book, but the other two in the series are slightly better. However be warned when you finish this you will won't to jump right into the next book.

The first book in a planned spin-off series from Jack Campbell's <i>The Lost Fleet</i> series of books, this follows on from the end of that previous series and utilises pretty much the same core set of characters.
This is also, perhaps, a little slower than the books in the previous series (although that could be because, as the first in a new series, this has to lay the groundwork), and also seems to end pretty abruptly!

I wish this wasn't the end
This is the last book of the iron fey spin off series. The ending was satisfying, but I still wish I could read more about these characters. The story was done really well, so while I didn't agree with all the characters actions I did understand there motivation. This series will always be one of my favorites, amd this book truly did it justice.

The second book in 'The Lost Fleet: Beyond the Frontier' spin-off from 'The Lost Fleet' series, with most of the same characters (so, in a way, the 7th book in the series).
Whereas the previous book primarily concerned the outbound portion of their mission (to investigate the extent of enigma - aliens discovered in the 'original' series - space), in this the fleet starts its journey home with the novel picking up almost directly from the end of that previous story.
They also don't (yet) make it all the way home - have to leave room for the next entry in the series, after all!

Another spin-off from Jack Campbell's 'The Lost Fleet' series, with this one taking place centuries before the events of those novels (and their own other spin-off series'), back when mankind has omly just begun to colonise the stars.
Like the intial series (and it's first set of spin-offs in the 'Beyond the Stars' series), the main character in this is once again a Geary: like his descendant, a fleet officer in the Navy who just happens to be the only such on the brand-new colony world of Glenyon, with the leaders of that world turning to him for help when they are attacked by a neighbouring star system. Alongside Rob Geary, they also turn to a former Marine (Mele Darcy) for help when that star system illegally sets up a colony on their planet, with two of Mele's former associates also pulled in the orbit of the story.
Alongside the usual military sci-fi of this series ('Newtonian' battles in space and on land), what I found to be the main 'hook' on this particular one was just how it lays the groundwork for the state of the universe as shown in 'The Lost Fleet' series: the start of the recerence for ancestors movement/religion and the proto-type (in effect) for The Syndics and The Alliance, alongside how politicians would become (?) to be viewed, and how those same politicians would view the military.

A bit drawn out (1 more)
A lot of political elements
Beginning of the Rebellion
Probably the weaker of all the Star Wars spin off series. Very low on action a lot of the time. Set in the build up to Rogue One. This seems to show the beginning of the Rebellion movement. Star Wars fans will no doubt love it but it was dragged out at 12 episodes.

In all honesty this is the first book by J.A. Armstrong I picked up. It drew me in as a teacher but when I realized it was a spin off of the By Design series I put it aside and started that one. I read this one at the time it seemed to fit into the other series. I love the characters and how their relationship develops. Michelle and Melanie's relationship evolving from just friends to more just flowed. As with all of Armstrong's characters they all have flaws but that makes them real.
