Six centuries into the Oo’ahan sanitation program, most Solarian life-form populations approached zero – the remnants confined to mountainous terrain in a small segment of a single continent in the Northern Hemisphere. Humankind, the dominant indigenous life-form on Sol III, were by far the most numerous among remaining populations. Although their numbers had dwindled to less than forty thousand, humans had developed early-sequence sciences that, while rudimentary, helped them sustain a determined resistance to Oo’ahan efforts.
Eventually, Hegemony units on-world dispensed with indirect methods in favor of overt application of late-sequence technologies. In spite of this, Humans displayed remarkable resilience, inflicting upon the Oo’ahan surprising reverses, albeit at great cost. After a major confrontation in Salt Lake Valley in 2492 AD (a human reference date), analysis confirmed that the humans had lost their last major population center and all of its substantial production capabilities. Extrapolation of existing trends indicated total extermination in approximately two decades.
Flight of the Solar Archangel eBook Rod Rogers
I really don't think this book should be included in the SciFi category, because all the action is ground based, using weapons systems not very different from those of present day. The only thing remotely connected with SciFi is reference to a couple of Alien races that have been at war for many hundreds of thousands of years. And just because the author says that the story takes place 500 years in our future doesn't by itself make it Science Fiction. What you do get is a story of conventional warfare, both air and ground, that takes place right here on Earth.I forced myself through the entire first volume of this series, and over the course of several weeks, I dragged myself through 47% of this second volume before I had to give it up. I'm not sure whether I gave it up because the story seemed to just drag on and on and on and . . . getting nowhere fast, or whether it was because I was just expecting a real SciFi series. I certainly feel betrayed by the description and a promise unfulfilled. Regardless, I won't be finishing this series. It's just not my thing. I will, however, give it 2-stars just for effort.

Flight of the Solar Archangel eBook Rod Rogers Reviews
I read the first book in the series and thought it was...okay. Since authors tend to improve with practice, I decided to give Solar Archangel a try.
Big mistake. Reading this book was a chore. Five hundred years of time have passed since the first novel with little to no explanation or plot development for that time period. I cared so little for most of the characters that even after reading more than 60% of the book I had trouble telling them apart - especially the military types. The only reason I forced my way through the entirety of the novel was so that I could feel justified in writing a review. In complete honesty, only the last 10 pages were worth reading. I`m left feeling that Mr Rogers could easily have scrapped the first 90% of the book, then used the end as the prologue for the next book in the series - a book I will certainly not be buying.
I cannot put this down. I am at 73% on my and I am absolutely aching to read the next book. I was so engrossed in the detailed and brilliant writing that I tripped and nearly fell while trying to read and walk. As a younger person I excelled at reading and walking. I expect that age has taken some of my agility. I will NOT try to sue the author for being such an amazing storyteller that I hurt myself! LOL
This story continues the saga of human struggle for survival, begun some five centuries before in A Nepenthean Solution. Familiar and new characters come alive, drawing the reader into continuous action and mounting suspense. The author's technical savvy creates a believable story the reader will have a hard time setting down.
Unless you really, really, really like military Sci-Fi, my advice is to avoid this piece of junk along with all the other books in the series. Like another reviewer here, I was suckered into downloading three of the novels in the series based on highly positive reviews on this site. I barely made it through the first book -- OK story, but so badly written that many important sections (Wozniak's (sic) lecture on the history of the universe, for instance) were totally unintelligible. Plus a LOT of typos that indicate the book has zero editorial input.
I made it about 10% of the way into the second novel before giving up (something I very rarely do). To be perfectly honest, I had absolutely no idea what was going on, what with the military jargon, acronyms, mystifying weapons and seeming unwillingness on the author's part to explain what was happening.
All of the books have been hidden away deep in my archive so I don't have to see them and recall the embarrassment of having actually paid money for them. And as for those highly positive reviews, I should have noticed that there are only 11 reviews in all, and that none of those positive reviews were particularly convincing.
I've read the first two books in thePrides of Sol series and believe them to some of the better scifi I've read. Excellent character development and a cast that both remains the same but keeps changing as new players are introduced over the centuries.
Mr. Rogers,
I just finished reading A Nepenthean Solution, The Flight of the Solar Archangel, and Prides of Sol. Thank you for three great nights of sleep deprivation.
