The colony on Haven-7 has gone rogue.

The colonists have split into two factions: the Techborn and the Dusters. The Techborn have always ruled the planet. They control the remnants of the crashed starship that brought humanity to this new world. The Dusters… they eat Techborn dust.

Now, the Techborn strength is waning. Their weapons are getting old, and radiation leaks from the aging reactors have created mutations. Some of these, like their brutish troops known as Tuskers, have proven useful—but others are abominations.

When the Dusters rebel, civil war breaks out. Special Forces operative Dane Tanner is transmitted to Haven-7 to stabilize the colony… by any means necessary.

The Techborn is the thrilling first book of the Rift Warrior series. With millions of copies sold, USA Today bestselling author B. V. Larson is the king of modern military science fiction.

Not a B.V. Larson story… good story with so many errors in the story and writing!

This book was OK… saved by Mark Boyette. It's really just undying mercenaries with a rift

Enjoyed this book very much. The main character Dane Tanner was quite the tough guy and loved it.

New world to follow, given to us from BV Larson.

Let me preface this with saying that I'm a big BV Larson fan. I've literally read every book and some I've read twice. This one has been really disappointing. I don't know if it's Covid, overwork, ghost writing or the use of some really bad AI, but there are 2 big issues with this book:
1) way to many inconsistencies. As in logical flows that don't make sense. Just now at the end of the book in the last few chapters there were 3 GLARING ones.
- Tina already came alone to his place, but suddenly it's too dangerous?
- The XCU entrance has two completely different descriptions in book 1 vs book 2
- Tanner has ONE week off, and they start dating then, but you make it sound like it's been months

This needs some better proofreading. I am sure you could find a few fans willing to help point these out. Get in touch with us!

2) the rambling, holy shit how often do you want to re-explain or re-describe a person? Felt like a school essay that wasn't long enough. Don't take your reader for complete imbeciles.

Other than that it was okay, I like the plot, the sci-fi western feel and even the characters.

Female slave master was a bit much for the main character in my opinion. Also seems like only the women actually think ahead and have power of any real measure. Narration was great as always.
