Story4.5 out of 5 stars 117
The Phage War had been a devastating conflict for the Terran Confederacy. Even with the destruction of their terrifying, implacable foe, humanity is still reeling. Political alliances are crumbling, and their mighty fleet is in tatters. There is nothing to celebrate, even after such a complete victory. They soon learn that there are other stellar neighbors - and they've been watching the conflict with great interest. One species comes with an offer of friendship and alliance, but humanity is weary and distrustful.

After two brutal, bloody struggles for their very existence against implacable alien foes, humanity is victorious, but not at peace. As distrust and accusations consume the political discourse between the two major factions, the Eastern Star Alliance military has already begun executing small raiding missions into United Terran Federation space. The Federation fleet, still reeling from the last war, is in no shape to try and protect its own borders.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 571
In the 25th century, humans have conquered space. The advent of faster-than-light travel has opened up hundreds of habitable planets for colonization, and humans have exploited the virtually limitless space and resources for hundreds of years with impunity. So complacent have they become with the overabundance that armed conflict is a thing of the past, and their machines of war are obsolete and decrepit. What would happen if they were suddenly threatened by a terrifying new enemy?

Story5 out of 5 stars 27
Aliens exist...and, as it turns out, most of them aren’t that friendly. Jacob Brown wasn’t even born yet the first time they attacked Earth. He was only 14 the second time it happened. When Earth finally came together and fielded its first spaceborne military, Jacob didn’t hesitate to volunteer. Serving aboard a mighty starship, he’d be able to defend his planet - and his family - when, inevitably, they came again.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 38
Jason Burke was a man hiding from himself in a small cabin high in the American Rocky Mountains when his simple, quiet life was shattered one night by what he first assumed was an aviation mishap. But when he investigates the crash, what he finds will yank him out of his self-imposed exile and thrust him into a world he could have never imagined.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 1,416
We were fighting on the wrong side of a war we couldn't win. And that was the good news. The Ruhar hit us on Columbus Day. There we were, innocently drifting along the cosmos on our little blue marble, like the native Americans in 1492. Over the horizon come ships of a technologically advanced, aggressive culture, and BAM! There go the good old days, when humans only got killed by each other. So, Columbus Day. It fits. When the morning sky twinkled again, this time with Kristang starships jumping in to hammer the Ruhar, we thought we were saved.

Publisher's Summary
Captain Jackson Wolfe never thought he'd see the end of the Phage War in his lifetime. The enemy was too powerful, too numerous, and utterly determined to exterminate humanity.
But the appearance of a new ally in the fight has changed all of that. For the first time since the original incursion, Wolfe thinks that maybe there's a chance to stop their implacable enemy before they have the chance to wipe out any more human planets. That opportunity comes at great cost, however, and even as he makes plans for their first offensive move on the Phage, Jackson is all too aware that most of them will not survive.

hard(ish) sci-fi space battles
WWII naval battles. In space. The action was exciting, conveying the time and distances involved with a strategic space battle. Star wars style where advanced technology exists but people manually push buttons and pull levers near c.
The characters are placeholders for the plot, could be entirely described in two sentences and are not developed further.
The plot is nothing new and that's okay.
But for all that, I enjoyed it. It's sci-fi ginger ale. Cheap, tasty, not particularly healthy, good for airplanes.

The Story drops off a bit
but still not too bad, book 1,2 were part of the plus category so one credit for all three boos is justified. however within first hour of the book three I guessed exactly how and why the story would conclude.

Narrator is amazing
I’ve really enjoyed this trilogy. The writing is great and the storyline interesting. What really sets this series apart, however, is the narrator. He is phenomenal. The use of accents and tonal changes to differentiate characters is exceptionally well done.

Wrapped up hastily
Loved the series and the well fleshed out characters, I just wish that the ending was more direct. It just kind of trailed off leaving us unsure of the what the future had in store for the characters we had invested in.
