Attention! Isambard Smith and his loyal and noble friend, the psychopathic alien headhunter Suruk, are back in a fourth laugh-out-loud installment. In the 25th Century the future of the galaxy rests on a knife-edge. The actions of one man could save the British Space Empire, or leave Earth at the mercy of deadly legions of ant-people. That one man is Captain Isambard Smith, and Earth is in a lot of trouble. After blowing up a top-secret enemy base, Space Captain Smith and his crew deserve a rest. But their holiday ends when forces unknown destroy the robot convoy they were meant to be guarding. Smith finds himself in hot pursuit of a mysterious vessel that can pass through dimensions, incurring the wrath of the dreaded Grand Witchfinder of New Eden--which would be much easier to deal with if his pilot wasn't cowering under the dashboard and his spaceship wasn't infested with man-eating toads. Meanwhile, the Empire is gathering its allies to form a united front against alien tyranny. Unfortunately, the delicate negotiations have been entrusted to Major Wainscott, a man who knows no fear and very little about diplomacy or trousers. Once again, Captain Smith must summon all his courage to unite humanity behind the Empire. His quest will take him on a journey to face his greatest fears from the depths of space, through Hell itself--and even to France.
A Game of Battleships Space Captain Smith Book 4 eBook Toby Frost
I found it quite funny and enjoyed the author's humorous approach to a scheme involving the Republic of Eden and the Ghast Empire to destroy the British Space Empire, (and coincidentally Earth as well.) Frost's play on the stereotypical mistrust and similar feelings that 'proper British men of stout spine and spirit' feel toward the French 'cowards and backstabbing lot' had me howling with laughter. Especially when Smith declares with deep depression that the ship must seek assistance in 'Europe' to pursue their mission. Overall, I give it 5 stars as good summer reading or for when you truly want to be entertained for the afternoon with a great read.Product details

A Game of Battleships Space Captain Smith Book 4 eBook Toby Frost Reviews
After a hiatus of some years, which largely seems to have involved the author being called to the Bar, Toby Frost has produced a fourth volume of Smith, and its like he was never away. In Space Captain Smith, our eponymous hero faced off against the insectile Ghasts, while in volume 2, the fanatically religious Edenites were the primary antogonists. Finally, in volume #3, Wrath of the Lemming-Men, Smith dealt with the deadly rodent followers of peace-loving war-god Popacapinyo.
How do you top all that? Well, the answer is to have all three opponents show up, allied together the Edenites, Ghasts, and Lemming-Men having formed a unholy marriage of convenience, aided by some long-lost super-secret technology (ok, it's a dimension-shifting cloaking device). To counter this new threat, the diplomats of British Space Empire and its allies (various aliens and Europeans) must agree on the terms of a treaty...with Smith & Co the only defence.
From the action-packed prologue to the last page, this is an excellent romp. I'd love to see it on the big (or small) screen, but I suspect it would be too much, and too clearly a homage to...well, pretty much everything sci-fi. But its better than a mere rip-off (or even homage), being great fun in its own right, internally consistent, and packed with jokes from the sublime to the ridiculous (such as pretty much anything said by Suruk the Slayer). Its actually proper space opera while simultaneously being laugh out loud funny.
Go read the "look inside" bit. It only gets better from there.
Awesome book awesome series! I highly recommend this book to any one! One of the best series of books i have read.
