"REBELLION is the turning point in the great interstellar war between all living creatures and the machines. Star Force is on the side of the machines--but for how long?

In the third book of the Star Force series, Kyle Riggs learns just what kind of war Earth is caught up in. At the mercy of the Macros, his marines fight against new alien races, big and small. They battle the innocent and the vile alike, until their situation becomes grim."

In this installment of Star Force we meet a quirky little character, reminiscent of Johnny Five... "his" name is Marvin. Combined with the introduction of Marvin and some solid character building this book doesn't have as much action as the first two but does set up the next 3 books nicely.

Swarm: Star Force, Book 1 by B. V. Larson

Book Description

Publication Date: July 8, 2011
Earth arms marines with alien technology and builds its first battle fleet!

Kyle Riggs is snatched by an alien spacecraft sometime after midnight. The ship is testing everyone it catches and murdering the weak. The good news is that Kyle keeps passing tests and staying alive. The bad news is the aliens who sent this ship are the nicest ones out there....

A novel of military science fiction by bestselling author B. V. Larson, SWARM is the story of Earth’s annexation by an alien empire. Long considered a primitive people on a backwater planet, humanity finds itself in the middle of a war, and faced with extinction.

 

Picked this book up on Audible because the description seemed interesting and at the time there were 5 of the 6 books out. At the time of writing this review I'm finishing the 6th book and awaiting the 7th. First let me say, I love science-fiction military novels, especially involving spacy navies and combat between fleets of ships. If anyone has any recommendations for me please toss them out for my consideration.

I'm a huge fan of Asimov, Heinlein and Niven and find that Larson channels a bit of each while bringing his own essence to his writing as well. Meet Kyle Riggs, computer science professor and father... finds himself woken up one night by an alien ship hovering over his farm house, ultimately he finds himself aboard the ship fighting the ship and it's former crew for his life. Meet the Nano's, a race of artificially intelligent nano-robots going from system to system abducting local biologicals as part of their mission, pitting them against other biologicals trying to find command personnel for each vessel in their fleet. Meet the Macros, an H.G. Wells like massive robotic race of artificially intelligent creatures bent on domination, eradication and strip mining of star systems. What unfolds is humanities involvement in a war not theirs, a war between the Nano's and Macro's with humans being brought in as command personnel of the Nano fleet. The series is a must read and I HIGHLY recommend the audible version as Mark Boyett is a fantastic voice talent that really brings the characters to life.

Oswin is a time lord / time lady

Oswin as a time lord or time lady is quite plausible. You know at first I thought she was Susan and just didn't know she was Susan (the Doctor has had amnesia before)... but ehhh I think she could just be another time lord/lady. 

The Doctor might have been the last time lord... but um, the whole time travel thing, Rose's universe of current residence, Susan Foreman (death hinted at not confirmed), Time Lady Romanadvoratrelundar (Romana) is MIA, River, unknown race 1 or more time lords tinkered with similar to the Minyans (or a Minyan that survived), , Spoiler Alert: Boe told the Doctor he wasn't alone as he died, Master once used a Chameleon Arch (and I'm 100% confident the Master will resurface once again, hell Clara could bet he Master!), another time lord could have, she could be Lucy Saxon, etc.
