Peacemaker (The Revelations Cycle Book 6) Kindle Edition

Peacemakers. The Galactic Union’s most capable enforcers and resolute negotiators, their name alone elicits fear and awe among the Union’s citizenry.

Having completed a harrowing confirmation mission, Jessica Francis stands ready to become Earth’s first Peacemaker and believes obtaining her commission is a mere formality. However, certain members of the Guild question her ability. Worried that she’ll fall back on her mercenary ways, they want Jessica to prove her mettle at the negotiating table before she puts on the distinctive insignia of a Peacemaker.

Dream Worlds are terraformed planets inhabited by multiple species living and working in harmony. Operated by a governing Consortium, each carefully-controlled world is marketed as a paradise, but Araf is far from. The conditions are deplorable, and its three colonies are moving relentlessly toward all-out war over scarce resources and broken promises.

A three-way showdown for dominance looms—can Jessica prevent war and bring back peace? One thing is certain; she’s never walked away from a fight, and she’s not going to start now.

Reviewed in the United States on August 25, 2017

I was read the short story that was so good, it led to this book. I was not sure about this book, since so many female heroes are just not believable. This character was believable to my pleasant surprise. With genetic engineering and/ nano machines a skilled writer can eliminate this issue, unfortunately most don't. The story flowed and was a good addition to the 4 Horseman Universe. The story kept me in suspense and had plots within plots, but not so convoluted I lost track. A mode of failure of an item sounds like the author had had done experience with quirky issues, which happen all to often in the real world. The characters were well done, and not cardboard characters. I would appreciate a glossary in 4 horseman books so I can keep the characteristics of the species straight.

I put down the book a few times whenever it whenever it would get involved with politics the Internet wou to be very good but the beginning I could have done without I really don't like to be torn in about 10 different directions and I felt that's what was happening in the beginning I read a book for enjoyment and relax I don't want to think a lot. I personally like to enjoy a good underdog fight who overcomes incredible odds and wins

May be the best of the entire series.

It's all good.

Excellent plot and pacing, with heroic characters.

And none of the post-modernist, anti-hero, deconstructionist b.s.

I met Kevin Ikenberry 3 years ago at a ComicCon. Being the cool guy that he is, he convinced me to read his book, Peacemaker...so far I’ve read it twice and loved it both times. That said, since then I’ve gotten totally involved in the rest of the 4 Horseman Universe having read 30 plus books in 18 months.
His character, Jessica Francis is driven, funny and set in situations no one should be faced with and she succeeds against many and dark odds to save the planet. Very inspirational plot line.
I loved the book and am so glad I found this genre.

Kevin has created a fascinating well woven story around a smart determined woman fighting a galactic bias against the younger and impetuous race of humanity. This woman, Jessica, displays the best of humanity trying to qualify as a Galactic Peacemaker who is supposed to solve conflicts among races using the rules and protocols of the Peacemakers Guild. Jessica passes her final test assignment for commissioning, only to find that the Guild is going to require another assignment to pass before that occurs. She is thrown into a no win situation where she displays courage, integrity, and resourcefulness. The action, intrigue, and the variability of the races she faces form the hard to put down book that kept my interest and urge to cheer her along for the entire story. Recommended for every science fiction lover at all levels. I plan to read many more of this author’s fine novels.

Kevin Ikenberry comes thru again in explaining another facet of the Four Horsemen Universe. Jessica Francis is about to become a Peacemaker after a career as a mercenary. Following her adventures and challenges gives an insight into the dealings and double dealings of the various Guilds. I could not put the book down once I started. An excellent read with subtle twists coupled with humor. Mr. Ikenberry- keep writing sir, it is entertaining and informative.

The Peacemakers are the guild responsible for order in the Galaxy. They have very broad powers, i.e. they can be judge, jury and executioner…
Each member race of the Galactic Union is supposed to have its own peacemakers, whose loyalty is to the guild and not to their race.
Jessica Francis is the first human peacemaker and, well, she has a lot to prove as many people don't see humans in a positive way!
So even though her confirmation mission was successful, she needs to do another one and, well, if you think Tom Cruise has it hard in Mission: Impossible, it's nothing compared to Jessica Francis's mission.
She isn't alone though, she can deputize, hire forces and she has her ace in the hole, her best friend since well, forever, her name is Lucille!

Really enjoyable read, the first in the Peacemaker series and a solid Fundation upon which to build!

This book expands on a story that began in "A Fistful of Credits" edited by Chris Kennedy and Mark Wandrey. Kevin has written a complex story about a human trying to become the Galactic Union's first human Peacemaker. She's already completed one mission, but that wasn't good enough. So now she's been sent on a seemingly impossible mission, with all but one group plotting against her. She's about to show the galaxy why humans are such good problem solvers, and while she wants to save lives, she'll do what she needs to, even if she has to kill everyone to do it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good start, bad ending
Reviewed in Germany on May 9, 2023

Jessica Francis is a Peacemaker candidate and did seemingly pass her evaluation mission. But the politics in the guild require her to go on a second evaluation mission. This is to broker peace between three species on a colony planet. But two of the species are not interested in negotiations and want to solve the disagreement with weapons.

I know it is military SF but the Redshirtism is kind of extreme in this one. There is a human unit send after Jessica to help her in the mission. Since no one was given a name at the start, I thought there would be a 80% loss rate. It turns out I am an optimist. Some members of the unit are given a name but then you never hear from them again, so I assume they did not make it. But I do not know. This made the book kind of predictable and ultimately makes the combat boring, since you know how it ends. anyway. And to make matters worse, there is a deus ex machina ending which made me roll my eyes.

I guess this series is for Americans by Americans and I am not the target audience. You can see this in the very low percentage of non-US mercenaries in any of the units in the series. I am wondering why no other nations seems to have mercenary units. It seems most units are based in the US (and most in Texas of all places). But it is what it is, I can overlook that most of the times.

The tale of humanities' first peacemaker. Well paced with plenty of action. It's a 3 way fight for resources so don't get too attached to characters. Sometimes the only way to achieve peace is kill everyone who want's to fight. We learn more about how things work in the 4 Horsemen universe. I enjoyed it and would recommend it.

I was a bit hesitant about starting in on this book, given the short story leading up to it was one of my least favourite Four Horsemen stories.

I hesitated for all of five minutes.

I needn't have. This is a great book, pacing, characters, and action are all polished to a high shine. Buy it now, unless you haven't read the books before it.... in which case buy them first!
