War has come to the worlds of Humans. The rich planet of Tau-Rietzke, however, is far from Earth and the Mercenary Guild’s invasion, and its alien-registered mercenary companies are a safe haven for Humans on the run. Organizations like the Midnight Sun Free Company.

Having just completed another successful mission and taken possession of three Raknars, it was party time for Saisho Branco and the personnel of the Midnight Sun, and they were enjoying a little down time…until the war spilled over into their corner of the galaxy and two competing mercenary organizations showed up to steal the Raknars.

But no one takes the company owner’s toys, and Gloriana has given the Midnight Sun a new mission—return the Raknars to her at all cost…or don’t return at all.

This is the hardest mission the Midnight Sun has ever taken, and it will test not only the military prowess of the company, but also its members’ loyalties as well. When everyone is against you, and your race calls you to war, do you heed the call or continue to trust your shadowy employer? Outnumbered and outgunned, the Midnight Sun must decide whether to fight or to give up the Raknars and save their lives. Little do they know, it’s a decision which will impact the war being fought hundreds of light years away!

The Midnight Sun (The Omega War Book 2)
Wow this book is none stop action from go to whoa (Yes horse reference 😊).
Full of lay down crazy creatures and hidden surprises both in enemy and allies.
This is another Kindle Killer, they have burnt through my Kindle battery by making me not want to put them down.
As we learn more about the mercenary forces of earth and what they will do to protect and defend it from the guilds.
I can see this is heading to a galactic confrontation that will use each of earth mercenary’s special forces and abilities in a way that Peepo will not see coming.
Can’t wait for the next instalment of this engrossing tale.
Cheers to all that have contributed to this story line in the Four Horseman Universe 😊

It's Merc company versus Merc company, but who will ultimately win??

Reviewed in Australia on 10 January 2019

Yet another great entry into the 4HU, where we meet 3 more human Merc companies. The Midnight Sun Free Company reminds me a lot of the manga and anime "Berserk" and the "Band of the Hawk." We also meet Jamie Sinclair and the "Sinclair's Scorpions" and "The Condottieri" and Colonel Nicolo SantoPietro.

The Scorpions have stolen 3 Raknar that the Midnight Sun have just been given, but the Condottieri want them as well. In a chase that starts on the planet the Midnight Sun call home, through hyperspace, and onto an abandoned jungle swamp planet, the Midnight Sun battle both the Scorpions, and then the Condottieri for ownership of the Raknar.

To make matters worse, the Condottieri are working for the Mercenary Guild, and the Veetanho, and General Peepo against their fellow humans. Good thing the Midnight Sun have a secret allie of their own!

Incredible Merc Action

Reviewed in Australia on 27 November 2018

Verified Purchase

This one started with a bit of humour. When 2 merc companies fight for profit it's not personal so some of the interactions between the Midnight Sun and Scorpions verge on the ridiculous. More like frenemies than bitter opponents. After that however this story turns serious and the killing and tragedy start. Lots of action as giant mecha are the prize and failure is death, possibly for the whole human race. By the end I gained real respect for the Dove. His journey from grandstander to heroism was well done if tragic. A story of war and mercs so don't get attached to characters. This second series is the good stuff.

A big story and a lot of fun, one of the very best!

Reviewed in Australia on 27 May 2018

This one feels like a seriously big scifi story, just by itself. Great pace, outstanding major characters with just enough over-the-top swagger to give it a really cinematic flair. And I mean the characters. They really are straight out of a blockbuster action/scifi movie.

I rate this as among the best and most entertaining of the already excellent 4HU books.

The entire world of the four horseman has great potential.

Too bad they have multiple writers, writing on different timelines and with wildly different abilities in how well they can tell a tale. They have pumped out probably a dozen of these books in the last year. A couple were great....a few really sucked...and a few like this one were merely forgettable.

The world they create is interesting and allows for unlimited storytelling....but they need some coherence and discrimination in what decide to add.

Outstanding addition to the 4 Horsemen Universe that you don't want to miss.

Reviewed in the United States on 3 May 2018

The Midnight Sun starts with a bang then throttles back, and steadily ramps upwards to a spectacular finish. I stayed up way later than I had intended to because I just HAD to finish reading it. The author continues to develop characters previously introduced in his short story “Contract Fulfilled” in the “For a Few Credits More” anthology, and gives us new ones to like, love, and even loathe.

I don’t want to introduce any spoilers, but I will say that the third act that begins when everything really starts to go wrong is the strongest part of the book. It is a desperate tale of hardship, survival, sacrifice, heroism and loss that deserves to be considered as one of the best “long march” tales in Military SF. Comparisons that come to mind are the “March Upcountry series” by John Ringo and David Weber, “The Ten Thousand” by Harold Coyle, the first half of “The Last Centurion” by John Ringo, and “Redliners” by David Drake. It really is that good.

Another aspect not to be left out, is how deft the author is at developing minor and tertiary characters, and giving the reader new appreciation for some of the alien races in the 4HU. I also enjoyed discovering the nobility of otherwise loathsome characters (or ones that I am genetically predisposed to dislike, i.e. giant killing-machine spiders).

This is an excellent addition to the 4HU franchise, and you need to read it. Especially so you’ll understand this: I AM BETTY! (this needs to be on a t-shirt!).

Fantastic read.

Fantastic read.

The Four Horsemen Universe (4HU) continues to expand with new allies entering the fray and new characters galore.

Just like the previous instalments in the series, The Midnight Sun continues to deliver a great story while introducing new characters, new twists and revealing more of the mystery driving the war between Earth and the all-powerful mercenary guild.

Chris, Mark and the rest of the team writing the 4HU story have created an exciting world of adventure, drama, humour, double crosses and close escapes.

Strap in, load up and enjoy the ride. I know I did.

Bravo Tim Taylor.

The Merc Guild has decided to wage war on Humanity...

Reviewed in the United States on 17 August 2018

Verified Purchase

With the intent on enslaving them and putting their effectiveness that they've now shown the GU to the "master" races' own benefits as "stewards" of us all. And it's a massive plan that many of the events in the main 4HU books revealed the outcomes.

Someone is actually breaking the law and placing Humanity in harm's way, to the point of forcing them to break some of the GU's tenets and laws regarding the long gone Dusman race's supertechnology so that they can have a pretext to invade and "take stewardship" of Mankind, "for their own good".

One of the main players in that plot is revealed in this story and the stage is set for what may well be building up to be another Great Civil War like the one that sundered the First Republic before the GU was formed. What do you do when faced with this? You withdraw, regroup, and prepare for the inevitable, with an intent and eye on winning. Well, the Four Horseman with a bunch of smaller/lesser Merc companies do just that. Time to prepare for War and humanity does just that.
