My Review:

Overlord's Folly is the eighth book in the Star Farmer series by Jaxon Reed. As I’ve mentioned before, I love the Star Farmer series and its captivating world.

The writing and world-building are among the best I’ve encountered. The descriptions are so vivid that I can easily picture everything I read in my mind as if I were an observer.

I adore the bots and their ability to fight and construct buildings. I enjoy all the characters and their roles in the story. Additionally, I have a special fondness for Tom Savage, Gwen, Ash, Night Shadow, Lisa, and many more.

Overlord's Folly is an intense story that kept me on the edge of my seat, eager to see what happens next. The suspense held my attention and left me wanting more. I can’t get enough of this incredible series.

I love witnessing the creation of a new world or planet as it comes together, like a work in progress. Moreover, I admire how generous Tom is with his employees and how well he treats them.

With Reynard Gliph out of the picture, Casper Slodovich is left to manage the Southside Projects as the Overlord. Casper is not a kind man and will do whatever it takes to acquire more money. The more he makes, the happier he becomes.

As I’ve said repeatedly, I love Tom Savage and can’t get enough of him and his world. I eagerly anticipate reading more about Tom and his friends as they continue building their planet. I can’t wait to see what challenges they face next in the upcoming book in the Star Farmer series, book nine, Embargo's End.

I highly recommend Overlord's Folly to all science fiction and space opera fans! Grab your copy of Overlord's Folly today and meet Tom Savage and his new planet!
