From the author of Planetside, a Best Book of 2018 (Library Journal)

A military legend is caught in the web between alien intrigue and human subterfuge...

Following his mission on Cappa, Colonel Carl Butler returns to a mixed reception. To some he is a do-or-die war hero. To the other half of the galaxy he’s a pariah. Forced into retirement, he has resettled on Talca Four where he’s now Deputy VP of Corporate Security, protecting a high-tech military company on the corporate battlefield—at least, that’s what the job description says. Really, he’s just there to impress clients and investors. It’s all relatively low risk—until he’s entrusted with new orders. A breach of a competitor’s computer network has Butler’s superiors feeling every bit as vulnerable. They need Butler to find who did it, how, and why no one’s taken credit for the ingenious attack.

As accustomed as Butler is to the reality of wargames—virtual and otherwise—this one screams something louder than a simple hack. Because no sooner does he start digging when his first contact is murdered, the death somehow kept secret from the media. As a prime suspect, he can’t shake the sensation he’s being watched...or finally succumbing to the stress of his past. Paranoid delusion or dangerous reality, Butler might be onto something much deeper than anyone imagined. But that’s where Butler thrives.

If he hasn’t signed his own death warrant.

Review

"Highly recommended for military sf lovers, who will savor his perspective and probably want to buy the man a drink."--Library Journal (starred review)

"Mammay capably writes Butler's gritty, old-school soldier's voice, and the story delivers enough intrigue and action for fans of military SF."--Publishers Weekly

"Spaceside is a worthy sequel to Planetside and Mammay once again successfully delivered another highly entertaining page-turner. The cleverly mixed mystery and military sci-fi element made this relatively small book packed with a strong impact, and I highly recommend it to readers who are looking for a fast-paced mystery/sci-fi read."--Novel Notions

"This is another wonderfully addictive, fast-moving book from Michael Mammay. Corporate intrigue, interplanetary politics and military action are blended into a cohesive whole that is both satisfying and great fun."--SFCrowsnest

"Wow, just wow. This was another exceptional book from Mammay, who has once again produced a fantastic science fiction thriller hybrid with some amazing moments in it. [...] Spaceside is an incredible second outing from Michael Mammay, who has a truly bright future in the science fiction genre."--Unseen Library

"Planetside, the debut novel by Michael Mammay, is an easy book to love. [...] a page-turner and an extremely satisfying read."--Washington Independent Review of Books

"A fast-paced tale of military investigation that reads like a blend of Jerry Pournelle and NCIS. Michael Mammay brings an exciting and authentic voice of experience to military science fiction."

--Peter McLean, author of Priest of Bones

"A tough, authentic-feeling story that starts out fast and accelerates from there."

--Jack Campbell, author of Ascendant

"If Cold Welcome and Old Man's War had a love child you might get something like PLANETSIDE. And it would be, and is, pretty damn awesome. I would say it's awesome for a debut novel, but that isn't nearly praise enough. It's just plain awesome."--Reading Reality

"If you like military SF you'll love this or if you like SF mysteries or probably just SF in general. It's a highly impressive first novel that left a real impact."--SFCrowsnest

Un seguito quasi migliore del libro precedente.

Reviewed in Italy on 25 February 2020

Verified Purchase

Normalmente i seguiti di un ottimo libro (Planetside) soffrono di un minimo di calo: Il personaggio non è più nuovo, e alcune situazioni sono prevedibili.
Ebbene non è questo il caso. Scopriamo il protagonista in nuove sfaccetature, così come alcuni "comprimari".
L'ambientazione è nel medesimo universo di Planteside, ovviamente, ma l'autore riesce ad offrirne nuove affascianti vedute.
Forse una sottile sbavatura all'ultimo, nel senso della prevedibilità del finale, ma non di come esso viene descritto.

Bom sci-fi detetive/militar...

Reviewed in Brazil on 7 September 2019

Verified Purchase

Esse foi menos militar do que o primeiro, mas foi bem militar no final.
Acho que faltou um pouco de mistério nesse. Bem previsível. E também faltou ciência, como no primeiro. Por isso não levou 5 estrelas, provavelmente. Fora isso é um livro muito fácil de ler, sem embromação. Bem no estilo do John Scalzi.

The Rare Sequel That's Better Than The First

Reviewed in the United States on 1 September 2019

Verified Purchase

Everything you loved about Planetside (if you haven't read it, STOP, BUY, READ- SPOILERS AWAIT) returns. Butler's voice, weary and worn from life, returns, and the weight of his decisions carries through every chapter.

Don't go looking for war heroes here, reveling in their glory. The men and women Butler revisits have found ways to survive, but more than anything, it's a picture of how to go on with life after making terrible decisions.

And Butler ain't doing it so well.
He's managed to transition to civilian life, more as a glorified laser-tag team captain than anything related to his skills, but look at Butler's resume, and you'll note there aren't many openings labeled as: "The ideal candidate will have two to five years experience slaughtering the entire population of a world. Experience with orbital bombardment preferred."

He's alone, hated by some, feared by others, admired by few, and that's when Butler gets the opportunity to investigate something that uses Butler's knowledge of armies, and their close cousins, corporations. What happened on Capa lies in the past but weaves through Butler's present until he can no longer be certain if he's seeing things because they're there, or because he imagines them to be.

And that is where the story *starts*. Expect Butler's trademark dry observations, enemies you'll see coming, allies you might not expect, and the eternal truth that no plan survives contact with the enemy.

The ending is fitting for a man like Butler and will leave you wondering if at last this tired old soldier find rest. Peace may be too much to ask.

A sequel that lived up to my high expectations.

Reviewed in the United States on 19 September 2019

Verified Purchase

Having greatly enjoyed Michael Mammay's debut novel "Planetside," I'd been eagerly anticipating this sequel. Happily, it lived up to my high expectations. Both books combine military science fiction with mystery elements; both are crisply narrated by Carl Butler, who starts the first book as a colonel. I find Butler a likable protagonist, one who is hard on himself -- not entirely without cause -- but who appears to be a good guy. This book opens with Butler in the corporate world, but it is only a mild spoiler to disclose that there is nonetheless a generous helping of military action. I liked the way the book includes Butler's isolation and his psychological difficulties in addition to more immediate threats. My one petty grumble contains a medium-sized spoiler: despite the very cool title, most of this book takes place planetside, not spaceside. Despite that egregious flaw, I'm ready for book three. Highly recommended.

About my book reviews: I try to review every book I read, including those that I don't end up enjoying. The reviews are not scholarly, but just indicate my reaction as a reader, reading being my addiction. I am miserly with 5-star reviews; 4 stars means I liked a book very much; 3 stars means I liked it; 2 stars means I didn't like it (though often the 2-star books are very popular with other readers and/or are by authors whose other work I've loved).

Stands out as a great story, not just a sequel

Reviewed in the United States on 4 September 2019

Verified Purchase

A fistful of adventure, tension, character building and plot. Excellent Science fiction without being hit over the head with it. I read it over two days since I barely could put it down. I'm truly looking forward to more works by this author. Extra credit for being one of the few books I've read this year that actually paid attention to the critical things like editing and obvious dedicated proof readers! Congratulations and keep up the good works.
Cheers!
Scott P.
