I saw some of the reviews of this book and I almost didn't get this book because of them. The only problem is that I am hooked with all of the stories and characters. This book was well written and there was not as much repetition as I expected based on the other reviews. I enjoyed the storyline as it is fast action and it starts early in the book and it does not let up.In all of the other series of books by Ian Douglas I was getting tired of somebody going through Marine Corp boot camp every book and 50% of the book was dedicated to that. In this book the action and conflict started early and stayed focused as a main theme of the book. The military action in the story is excellent and I like the characters and the contact with the alien races.I won't go into the story as spoilers are not required. I liked the book and I give it a 5 star rating. My only complaint is that every time I buy one of the books by Ian Douglas the price drops considerably shortly thereafter. I guess the message from the author and publisher is to wait a few months until the price goes down. After buying 14 books and having this happen, I am getting the message! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very enjoyable series, but way too much repetition... *by T***Q on May 26, 2013* I've enjoyed the Star Carrier series (1 through 4) very much. The author has created a universe with interesting characters and exciting plot elements. Kind of a "Battlestar Galactica" with a little hard science thrown in.But I do have one criticism: Too much repetition. The reader is subjected to constant detailed descriptions of the technology, the alien physiology and psychology. That's ok, to a point. I know that the author cannot assume that the reader has read the previous volumes, and some recapping in needed, but this goes way beyond that. How many times does the reader need to be subjected to the same detailed information in the same book? I find myself skipping over sections of these books because I've read the same information several times before! I've been known to stop reading other authors because of this flaw. I suppose it is a testament to this author's work that I have hung in there and will in all likelihood hand over more of my hard earned money for the next installments of the Star Carrier series. I'm hooked, for better or for worse! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Restarting the excellent series *by L***E on June 24, 2018* Twenty years after book 3 ends, book 4 starts the story again. A distant Earth ship is destroyed, presumably by the Shaddar, signaling the end of the truce. The Europeans decide it is a good time to declare control over America's Navy and any US assets or territories the Euros can grab. Civil war erupts just as war with the Shaddar resumes. The technology is the same except for better Earth fighters and new alien tricks. The science stays solid and obscure but interesting bits of astronomy get woven into the story. Well worth the reading.Review by Steve Cole, Leanna's husband ## Frequently Bought Together - Deep Space: Star Carrier: Book Four (Star Carrier Series, 4) - Dark Matter: Star Carrier: Book Five (Star Carrier Series, 5) - Singularity (Star Carrier, Book 3) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/4622055-deep-space-the-fourth-star-carrier-military-space-opera-epic](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/4622055-deep-space-the-fourth-star-carrier-military-space-opera-epic) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-05-31*
