What are readers saying about this epic eight book series?
--I am a long time (60+ years) Sci Fi fan and Stephen Arseneault is my new favorite Science Fiction author!! I would rank him right up there with Robert Heinlein and Isaac Asimov for story telling and imaginative story lines.--
--Great Sequel to SODIUM and AMP Series--
--I liked it so much, I purchased the remaining books all at once.--
--Excellent book. It kept me enthralled throughout. This author has an economy of words that is both succinct and wholly descriptive at the same time! Could very well be My new favorite author!--

About the Author

I reside in Central Florida with the wife and two daughters. After thirty years in engineering, my time is now spent chronicling the adventures of fictitious heroes. They are off-world, fighting the good fight, keeping Man alive. For some it was meant to be their calling. For others... not so much. All however are willing to fight until the end. Flip open one of my books. Tag along as unlikely heroes try to conquer the galaxy or save all humanity. Get aboard as you're either with us or against us. This may be your ticket out of here... at least for a short while. Hope you have a great day!

    4.0 out of 5 stars I liked the story line
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 January 2015
    Verified Purchase
    I liked the story line. It was very readable. What it lacked was depth, and sometimes switched between story lines too quickly. An example was when the main character went to his home planet on a short break. The chapter was telling us about his home, family, wife, farm, etc, and next thing you know (in the next paragraph in the same chapter) he was back at work.
    My suggestion to SA is to flesh out the story a bit; add character and colour.
    Otherwise a good book. Would read more of his at the right price.

    It was okay about sums this up. The characters were all "nice", whether they were goodies or baddies, and sure it is good if there are good people on the other side, but it would make the story so much better if there were nasty [people on both sides too. The plot did not really seem to get any where until the end; I felt I could have skipped two thirds of he book from the middle without really missing the point of the book. It was good enough that I read it to the end, but not good enough to make me want to ready any more in the series.

    Going to write this review for all of the series so far (1-5) as although each book was fantastic I loved reading it as one and can't wait for number 6.

    They say never judge a book by the cover so I didn't, I liked the cover and liked that I could read the first one for free before deciding whether I wanted to carry on and buy the rest.

    What an adventure, I thought the characters were fascinating and the fact that our first hero wasn't human was a real bonus. With so many ups and downs, points and counterpoints, truths and lies every page provided a fantastic reason to turn to the next.

    So looking forward to the rest of the series Stephen so get those fingers tapping.

    Many Thanks

    4.0 out of 5 stars A Good read, I look forward to reading the sequel
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 September 2015
    Verified Purchase
    An interesting non-human biography. Set in a far-in-the future period where one empire is dying, amid the squabbling of the nobility as they desperately scrabble to seize whatever portion of the universe they can before their rivals do, this is the tale of a detective who does play by the rules. As he fails to produce politically correct results he eventually pays the price. A Good read, I look forward to reading the sequel. The author's objectivity examining homo sapiens from an alien perspective gives an unusual but fascinating slant to this a sci-fi whodunit. P.S The butler didn't do it

    I am sorry correction was a big fan of James Patterson but I was getting really sick of all the cheapshot books he was putting out so thought I would look for something els and downloaded this by accident so read it and enjoyed it and it was good it drew me right in and I got involved in the characters I finished it, and it was a strange ending, so had to buy the next book in the series just to find out what happened to miss Salton, and did Knog Beutcher manage to clean up his living quarters all very exciting I don't normally read sci-fi but as I say this was ok and I will most likely read the rest in this series

    I looked forward to this series as I thoroughly enjoyed AMP and Sodium. Two great series even though the stories seem interconnected and similar but when I got to OMEGA the "Travel 1'000'000'000 light years in 1 second", "Destroy a planet in one shot", "Eradicate an entire species without trace" "Fight battles and destroy your opponents without major loss" content of the story just becomes ludicrous and frustrating. A great writer but I'll give him a rest for a while.I gave up after book 6 of Omega.

    3.0 out of 5 stars This is the start of a series
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 January 2015
    Verified Purchase
    This is not a whole book but the start of a series. As I got it for free, I'm rating it in that spirit. The story-line is interesting if a bit disjointed at times, but all the characters are indistinguishable from humans, though many of them aren't, including the main character. Charcterisation isn't that well developed I found the writing style a little odd at times and somewhat stilted. Be warned though, the story ends in this book with a complete cliffhanger with no puzzles answered. Moreover, the second book which I bought (at quite a jump in price) doesn't address any of the puzzles set up in this book. It's also not as well written as this one, with a good sprinkling of typos whereas this book has few. I'm not bothering to follow the story further. There are better series out there.

    Great series, the stories develop in scale as the books progress, however each is definitely a story to itself. Bought and read the whole series. Well worth your time if you like SF. Love the fact its written from the POV of an alien species. Really makes a change. Well done S. Arseneault.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Omega 1: EXILE...another stellar series has begun that has left me, once again, wanting MORE!
    Reviewed in the United States on 3 November 2014
    Verified Purchase
    Once again, Stephen Arseneault displays his story telling talents with another FIVE STAR page turner! Omega 1 EXILE is a wonderful kick start to a promising third series from this up and coming writer.

    We are treated to a brief synopsis on what AMP (Alliance of Major Planets) had been up to and how life had been for AMP members following the wrap up of the previous series, AMP.

    We meet Grunta, Knog Beutcher and his new partner, Human, Joni Salton and Joni's fierce and faithful tag-a-long Rottweiler, Raptor. We get a bird's eye view to the waning days of our beloved AMP after a golden age that spanned two millennia. We realize that the cycle of life is no respecter of time, space, place, planet or species, We also see that when moral darkness and corruption rear their ugly heads, heroes and heroines will inevitably arise. They go along with their lives, and just by being themselves they inevitably champion others and don't see that they, themselves, are truly heroes and heroines. To them, they are just doing their jobs and being true to themselves, which makes them all the more heroic.

    We follow Knog and Joni as they selflessly strive to ensure a free future for all.

    This story is full action, yet exposes political machinations as it delves into moral and ethical dilemmas. In some ways, it mirrors our modern day issues, right here on planet Earth in 2014.
