Overall, my novels average about 4.5 stars on Amazon. Below are a sample of reviews by Series.

The Fighter Queen saga

 This is a very fluid, professionally written, first rate SF military action adventure. Reading this book is like watching an engaging, high adrenaline action movie. –Richard Murray

 Bowers is a very good writer, the characters and the circumstances are believable. This series … takes place over a period of three generations with a lot of sacrifice and suffering on all sides. Wonderful read and under-valued! –Amazon Customer

Strong characterization. Looking forward to reading more. –William R. Barton

 This is a “page-turner” from the start. I spent a few late nights because I had to read “just a little more”. The universe setting is interesting and you get to really dislike the bad guys. –Sparta

Great storytelling, crazy character plot lines, and probably the best series wrap-up in my memory. –Mark

Bowers weaves a yarn that portrays dynastic tensions, lessons about humanity, and a careful study of the yin-and-yang of aggression and deterrence vs. the pacifistic instinct. Bowers certainly knows how a story is put together, and he is particularly talented when it comes to using conflict to its best advantage. –Richard Winder

Space opera at its best! –LouisB

Starport

 The characters are amazing. The twists and turns keep you locked in. You never see the surprises coming from left field but they still seem organic once they come to fruition. I don’t write reviews, but this series deserves it! –Kindle Customer

The author has that rare ability to capture and hold the readers attention throughout the story, making everything he writes into a real page turner. –Rod Manchester

Got in trouble with the wife, couldn’t put it down. A great example of the space opera. –Kindle Customer

My husband LOVES all John Bowers!! –Nancy J.

Once I hit a certain point in the book I knew I was going to be up late finishing it. –Jeremiah Baird

Do you enjoy thrillers? Is it fun to sit and read a book that has you on the edge of your chair the entire time you’re reading it ? If you agree and enjoy a little anxiety along with a terrific story this is the series you should be reading. –Kindle Customer

John your a rockstar, this was a wonderful read. Like watching one heck of a good movie. –Christine

Excellent writer who does not only great space opera but also demonstrates throughout all of his books he knows the craft of character development. –Teacher Tom

This is one of the best new SiFi books out on the market. Very well written, great action, and characters. –traveler

John Bowers is one of the best and least appreciated of our military sci fi writers. –Author V.L. Stuart

Mr. Bowers … is a masterful storyteller , a moralist with a highly developed sense of ethics and all his works are so very worth reading. He will wind you up like a nine-day clock but eventually provides the relief you’re seeking. –Kindle Customer

Nick Walker, U.F. Marshal

I may have found my new favorite author. –Honest Reviewer

I started reading Asteroid outpost at 11pm last night, fully intending to read for maybe an hour and hit the sack. At 3am I decided, okay, you’re dead. Give it a rest! But I didn’t want to. John took me away, brought me to another world, filled it with real and believable people, and kept me worried and turning the pages start to finish. And he brought it all to a climactic and satisfying conclusion. –GFG

John Bowers can write a book that will suck you in and keep you up at night turning pages, and that’s a fact. –T. Price

I stumbled across this gem purely by accident a while back. I just finished reading it and have purchased the sequels. If they’re even a fraction as good as the first they’ll be worth far more than what I paid. –Kevin Sarles

I’ve found another must have author. –Kindle Customer

Great book and fast paced. Just a warning — once you pick it up, you will not want to put it down! –curt

 I was hooked from page one and soon had sweaty palms and a racing pulse. The fast-paced action is full of nail-biting thrills and edge-of-seat suspense. –Bob Goddard

 I find myself wishing I could live in Nick’s ‘verse! –Kindle Customer

The author did a great job of setting. I felt I was there, in the heat, the dryness, and the winds. “People who had experienced it said the heat made summer in Baghdad feel like autumn in Alaska.” I really felt the heat of the planet as Nick entered the small town of Kline Corners. –Victory Crayne

I am having a GREAT time in this ‘verse John Bowers has created. –Kindle Customer

Mr Bowers is one of my favorite authors. Read the whole “Fighter Queen” series and loved it.  –Don in AZ

This series reminds me a lot of the older westerns by the likes of Louis L’Amour and Max Brand. Fast paced with great characters and plenty of action. –Dennis Little

These books just get better. I can’t wait to read the next one ! –Kindle Customer

Reading a John Bowers book is like watching an awesome Sci-Fi movie! –Cerberus76

I just finished the entire Nick Walker series all wonderfully written and I hope there is more to come. I look forward to reading more from this author. –Christine
