While I was sad the story had to end - I could have continued to read about these characters forever - I was happy with how the story came to a close. Mr. Hawk wove so many intricate plot layers together, I was shocked time and time again at how everything related to each other and how things played out for the characters.

I gasped out loud and cried through this book. The amount of detail really took me inside the characters minds, how they felt and why they felt that way. Mr. Hawk developed his characters with their own unique personalities. Each had a deep richness and I felt as if the characters had become "friends" and real people through reading the series. I love all of them! Okay, well I love to hate the villains but even they had their own motivations and desires and were not evil just for evil's sake.

I hope this is not the last we see of Grant Justice! Like I said, I'm sad to see the trilogy over but I was not dissapointed at all. I couldn't wait to see how things turned out, that I read all three books in a week! This series did not dissapoint and I will read it again and again.

I was so entranced with the beginning of the Peace Warrior series, that I immediately read "Peace Army" just a few days after finishing "Peace Warrior". I was not dissapointed at all!

Mr. Hawk delivers an action packed story that left me breathless. I couldn't put the story down and even walked around the house with my Kindle in hand, so I could continue reading!

Once again, Grant Justice goes toe-to-toe with the Minith aliens trying to enslave Earth. I love the fact that we were able to get into the mind of more characters in this book, like Titan and Mouse for example. We also were introduced to some new characters. I immediately was drawn to the characters, cheering them on or hoping the good guys won! But, with so much at stake, I feared that by the end of the book, someone was going to die. I literally held my breath through some parts because I hoped that everyone made it through unscathed!

The complex layers from Book 1, "Peace Warrior," expanded and filled to create amazing amounts of tension. The style in which Mr. Hawk delivered all the different pieces caused me to read the entire book in one sitting. I just kept thinking "One more page, one more chapter". The cliffhanger ending made me want to cry, but luckily, I already had the third book in the series waiting on my Kindle. I literally jumped right into "Peace World" without stopping.

I was hooked into this book from the very beginning. Being a huge fan of military fiction and sci-fi, I was not disappointed by this book. The blurb posted on Amazon drew me into the story and I had to give it a shot. I'm so glad I did.

The story begins with the awful death of SFC Grant Justice. Then it shoots ahead hundreds of years in the future to where Earth has rid itself of war and all violence. Even cursing is seens a major offense that landed one in prison. As I said, that concept pulled me immediately into the story. Advancement in science allowed Grant Justice to be revived to help the Peaceful people of earth to fight against the Minith, an alien race that had enslaved the entire planet. But, Grant's revivial poses problems for the veteran soldier, as his very nature offends the very people he is trying to save.

I found Mr. Hawk's new Earth to be very interesting. I especially loved the new names for countries and cultures as well as the world government he built for this story. It was a great idea that fit perfectly with the "No Violence" world Earth had become. I don't want to give away too much of the story, but the world building in this book is very deep and I felt, completely realisitic due to the way Hawk presents the new world to the reader.

I was also impressed with the character of Grant Justice himself. He is a fully developed character, three dimensional. As a girl and Army Brat, I was completely entranced by Grant's sense of duty, honor, and loyalty to humankind. And yes, I admit, I found the character rather sexy too.

I can't wait to read more of this series. I couldn't put this one down. I can't wait to read Peace Army, the second book in the series, that already awaits me on my Kindle. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves military fiction and sci-fi.
