You’ve seen her mentioned many times throughout the peacekeeper series. Lina has played a significant role in many of the books, but there have always been unresolved issues regarding her from book one of the series onward. This book solves those mysteries.What was Lina’s last name?Where was Lina and what was she doing during the natural disasters that preceded the night of the quakes?Where was she the night of the quakes?What was her life like in the aftermath of the quakes?Why was she so adamant about going to Texas?What was she doing prior to being captured in Texas?What were the events that led to her captivity in Texas?How did Lina and Robert manage to elude the hunter team sent out by Wild Bill?How were Lina and Robert captured in Kansas?Where was Lina ranked in skill among the other fighter pilots?How did she become an escort pilot?How did Lacey’s death affect Lina? Learn the answer to all of these questions and more. The Perspectives series is set in the peacekeeper world. It will show the fan of the series the storyline from the perspective of different characters. Lina’s Story is a book I have considered writing for two years. There will be a couple more books in the Perspectives series. Not all will follow the same format, as in beginning prior to the night of the quakes. Book 1, Lina’s Story begins in the weeks prior to the night of the quakes and progresses to a point in book nine. It provides more background material on the natural disasters that were occurring prior to the night of the quakes, and details more of Lina’s career as a fighter pilot, escort pilot, and trucker with the peacekeeper fleet. Along the way, you’ll learn more details about many other characters and events that transpired. I’ll put you beside Lina as she fights the slavers in Texas. You’ll be in the room when she awakens to discover that she has been captured by slavers. Later, when she becomes a fighter pilot, you’ll learn about a secret mission Lina took on for the peacekeeper council, why it was a secret, and how the mission turned out. You’ll attend Lacey’s wake, and learn more about the impact of her death on those who loved her most. There is by necessity some overlapping of material in Lina’s story from the rest of the series. There had to be because several events were critical to presenting her perspective. Having said that, you’ll find plenty of all new material, meet all new characters, and learn more about some established characters. Not counting the front and back material, the book is 77,007 words long. The majority of that is all new material.If you want to avoid spoilers, then this book should be read after book nine of the peacekeeper series. Events depicted throughout this book are contained in the first nine books.

This was a quick way to make a few folks happy and appeased for a while with out having to write a whole new book. Still there is fodder for ten more books in this series. Go ahead Ricky do ten more books in the series. I know there are lots of folks that hate it already but make a few bucks Churn out a bunch of Repeats. If your having problems with where to take the direction of a certain book just ask me I can help you get there. I will also help you keep it up to date on certain issues which you kept getting behind the curve on such as night vision goggles and such. FLIR, SONICS, nano tech, metallurgy,Snipers, Gun tech, Ballistics, Aviation Tech, I do have a degree in aviation tech from Embry Riddle Aeronautical University. They are in Daytona Beach FL Which I could use for a great book Idea there with NASCAR And schooling ideas.

I have been a fan of this series from book one. It is interesting to see things from a main characters perspective apart from the main story line. It let me relive all of the books without re-reading them, not that that is a bad thing because I see alot of Peackeeper marathons in my future. I hope Ricky does one from Cpt. Wilcox's point of view. I have come to like his character alot.

This is the start of a new tangent series to the Peacekeepers. Filling in some of the background and letting the reader get to know better then people of the main series.

I cant say enough good things about this mans writing ability. I have yet to find any of his writings i didn't love.

Ricky, where are you? This is a great expansion of the "Peacekeepers" series. It really tells you what Lina went through to be a part of the peacekeepers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great addition to the Peacekeepers books
Reviewed in the United States on November 5, 2016
I enjoyed looking at this new perspective of Links story. While when reading the Peacekeepers books you learn most of the story this fills in the gaps and adds new information. It also made me want to read the whole series all over again. Like all of the other peacekeepers books it was well written with great descriptions. Would love more of these alternative looks at the characters.

Reviewed in the United States on December 1, 2011
Well it looks like Ricky got five across, five diagonal and five vertical. Each time I see one of Ricky's books, I try to figure out how in the world he can write them that fast. Not only is this book one more in a string of books that are great, He begins a new series called The Peacekeepers Perspectives with this one. Book 1 - Lina's Story fills in a lot of blanks about where this main character headed after meeting Jim Willison. I am sure that you will enjoy it if you liked the others at all. I can hardly wait for the next book in the series.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another Great Read
Reviewed in the United States on December 23, 2011
This book is a wonderful addition to the Peacekeeper Series. In the beginning I was not sure about this story line. Then I started reading and I was hooked after the first chapter. This book not only fills in some of the information about Lina that was not in the earlier books, but it is exciting, and compelling, in it's own right. I found it difficult to put down, but then I find this true in all of Ricky Sides' books. This book, along with the entire Peacekeeper Series, is a must read for any fan of post-apocalyptic adventure.

He's done it again. Ricky Sides has a way of creating characters who seem to be real-life characters. I enjoyed learning Lina's back story, and I absolutely LOVE the end of the book. Ricky, I don't know how you're so prolific yet keep coming up with new and interesting story lines!

4.0 out of 5 stars Peacekeepers - Linas Story
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 7, 2014

A good side book to the main series. Some general comments about the main series. (15 Books?)
Five star could have been appropriate in the main series of books had some duplication not been used - eg two plagues. Some of the dialogue was too compliant and almost like chastising a child in their council meetings for example when discourse was abound. C'mon these are ruthless men and women bent on executing marauders and other scallywags (quite rightly so) with only scant remorse (yeah right!). They were living through hellish times and were a force for good. It had to be done. Special Forces as the Peacekeepers would see themselves and the intensive training they had to endure was obligatory. Inventive use of some super new technologies proved to be an excellent thread throughout all the books and the authors fretting regarding its possible authenticity for real was no real barrier to the most enjoyable parts of the books. Families being aboard their superb ships seemed unlikely and is closer to outlandish fiction. I maybe moaning a bit here but they were a good read and highly recommended despite some irksome features.
