Review: Miner War (Phaethon Corp. #3) by Jaxon Reed @AuthorJaxonReed

Miner War

Phaethon Corp. #3

by Jaxon Reed

Published: December 25, 2025

Genre: Space Opera, Science Fiction, Space Marine


Blurb:


Bo Duckworth and his ragtag team of surplus Marines have served Phaethon Corp. well so far. Unfortunately, the frontier is even more unsettled than usual. The mining corporations are at each others throats, on the brink of war.

Ironically, this is good for business. The more shots fired and the more energy used, the more that Phaethon’s services will be needed.

Unfortunately, the middle of a shooting war is the least safe environment for Phaethon employees to work. But woe be to the forces taking on Tom Savage’s people. They are 
heavily protected from harm. The Duck and his team will see to that.


Jump into Phaethon Corp's efforts to expand in the wild frontiers of known space! This fast-paced action-packed series by veteran science fiction and fantasy author, two time Kindle Scout winner Jaxon Reed, is a thrill ride you won't want to miss!

My Review:

Miner War is an excellent addition to the Phaethon Corp. series by Jaxon Reed. The action in Miner War is relentless, flowing continuously from one page to the next, much like the Energizer Bunny.

A conflict rages between the Ogres and the Imps. Miner War captivated me and drew me deep into the Phaethon Corp. universe as the characters battled in a cave while Bo, Elle, and Tobias were on a quest to find their way back to the surface.

I absolutely adored the moments when the nanobots came into play and when everyone unleashed their unique powers. The vivid descriptions were so skillfully crafted that I could easily visualize everything as if I were experiencing it firsthand. The cave scene keeps replaying in my mind, and I hope my recollection does it justice.

I would be thrilled to see Miner War and all the books in the Phaethon Corp. series brought to life as a television series. I believe the Phaethon Corp. would be a fantastic addition to the Stargate SG-1 universe.

I wholeheartedly recommend Miner War to all fans of science fiction—be sure to pick up a copy today for another thrilling adventure in the Phaethon Corp. realm!
