USS Jefferson: Charge of the Symbios
(2021)(The fourth book in the USS Hamilton series)
A novel by Mark Wayne McGinnis
"McGinnis has pulled another rip-roaring page-turner out of his hat," Ben Strat
After the recent near-destruction of the USS Hamilton, Captain Galvin Quintos has been lying low, getting the USS Jefferson ready for service. In the midst of refurbishing the vessel, he gets a call for help from his former XO, new starship captain Gail Pristy. The Varapin have lured the 9th Fleet into a devious trap, and it’s not long before Quintos has his orders to hurry to the rescue. But the Varapin have a colossal new warship—one that puts anything the US Space-Navy has to shame. Even after Quintos assembles a crew, he’ll still need to pull a few rabbits, along with a few Symbio Poths, out of a hat to have any chance of surviving the coming battle. And Quintos’ one last hope—reuniting with a past enemy—may prove as dangerous as fighting the Varapin themselves.

Great Military Science Fiction!
I have now read all four books in this series. I literally could not put them down, which meant it took me a while to go to sleep the last couple of weeks. I highly recommend these books. If you like BV Larson or Craig Alanson books you will like these. - Roger D.
One Of My Favorite Authors!
Mark Wayne McGinnis become one of my favorite authors. The Hamilton series has been really enjoyable. He has a way with his characters and a good story. You end up with a smile on your face when you reach the end of a book. The next thing you do is look for another MWM book to enjoy! - Seabus
Fun SciFi Adventure Story!
Strong and wildly swirling adventure story that's a great capstone for the first two... I love to feel myself developing affection for the characters and the plot. Can't wait for the next in the series!
Thank you MWM - VIC
Entertaining Military SciFi.
It’s a great story. Could hardly put it down. Already got number 2 and didn't put it down. All characters in the story are great but Hardy is the best. Looking for number 4. Mark McGinnis, you need to coordinate with Marco Kloos so that I have no lag time on my SciFi. Two great authors. Thanks -Wm. F. Hogsten
Great Sci-Fi Thriller!
Truly awesome in word and deed. Captain Quintos and crew pull out all the stops and made it happen for Earth and the USS Hamilton. Nonstop action, excitement, and dueling Chronobots. What else could you ask for in a
Sci-Fi thriller. I can't wait to get into the next book in the series. Thanks for a good read. - Kindle Customer
Fun Space Opera Science Fiction!
Honestly, this is the most fun I had reading a scifi book in a long time. Mind you I'm just a simple man with simple tastes though. It was a honest really fun read and I found myself sneaking away so I could see what was going to happen next. Needless to say as soon as I finished this book I order the second. Great job keep it up and I look forward to other works.

Humorous Military Science Fiction!
Just the right touch of realistic action, intrigue and humor. The characters are real, the dialogue smooth and the outcome very much up in the air until the end.
I'm hooked. Rock on Dude. - DaveTucker
Entertaining Space Opera!
Will award FIVE stars for this book. I did enjoy the story. A complete change in a story line. Just the right amount of Twists to keep the readers on their toes. I recommend this book to all readers of space opera. A good book. - Hardcore
Loved it!
Absorbed in the book from beginning to end. The book started well, rose to heights and ended on a very good note. Suspenseful and exciting character development without the usual death and rebirth or unacceptable probabilities of other bad authors. In contrast, this book was a home run. Loved every bit of it. If sci-fi is a possibility read, then this is it. -Rab
