Global Elections

Star Farmer #11

by Jaxon Reed

Published: June 26, 2025

Genre: Space Opera, Science Fiction

Blurb:

Farmers are always willing to do their civic duty. Sometimes with a plow, sometimes with a gun...

An election has been called on Phaethon, and all three systems of government are vying for the chance to claim the frontier planet. The Lutian Alliance holds an edge with Lisa, Tom Savage’s portable farm AI that has now grown to envelop the entire planet. Ever since the revelation of her existence, most people have taken one of her sensors, and she is doing her best to influence the vote.

But the other sides are not standing still. SSI and the Southsiders along with Acting Mayor Xu are pressing for a League victory, while hidden forces behind the scenes pull for the Republic. Which way will the planet turn?

More important, how many people are going to die before Election Day?

Don’t miss this second-to-last entry in the Star Farmer series, featuring surplus Space Marine equipment, political intrigue, and the growing fortunes of one savvy young homesteader! Come on out and shoot the breeze on our back porch for a while! We’ll talk about the weather and which ways the planet’s political winds are blowin’, too.

My Review:

Elections are underway; all three government systems—the Lutian Alliance, SSI, and the Southsiders—are competing to win; people are dying. How many more lives will be lost before the elections take place?

From the very beginning, Global Elections captivated me with the intense action happening on nearly every page. I kept asking myself, what is going on? Why are people behaving this way? Why is an election so important that people are dying over it?

I know I say it often, but I truly love this world of Tom Savage. I would love to see the Star Farmer adapted into a TV series. The descriptions are so vivid that I have no trouble imagining it all in my mine, but I know my imagination can’t fully do it justice.

My favorite parts of the Star Farmer are the bots, Lisa—Tom’s AI—the spaceships, farm equipment, Night Shadow, Tom Savage himself, and the battles—all of which keep me turning the pages. I wish this series could go on forever, but I understand that’s not feasible.

Global Elections kept me on the edge of my seat, wondering what was happening and why. Several times, I asked myself, what are they doing? I couldn’t believe what I was reading. I was shocked by what was unfolding.

I can’t wait to read more in the Star Farmer series. I’m looking forward to the next book, System Alignment, the twelfth book, scheduled for publication on July 31, 2025.

I highly recommend Global Elections to all science fiction fans! Grab a copy today!
