Story
The Federation's military command is desperate, and with their fleet still in tatters, they make a last-ditch effort to free the planet: They pull Captain Jackson Wolfe out of retirement and put him in command of a ship they hope can get past the defending armada and provide support to the beleaguered Marines and civilians fighting on the surface of the contested world. There is no reasoning with this enemy. If the Terran Federation wants their planet back, they will have to pay the price.

Story
The Darshik war machine is flagging, but the war is far from over. Even as an exhausted Federation military tenses up for a counterattack after repelling the last Darshik invasion, reports are coming in of a new, more powerful class of ship that's striking deep into Terran space. Captain Jackson Wolfe has been given the fleet's newest, most advanced destroyer and tasked with eliminating this new threat before it can claim any more human lives. What he finds, however, is immeasurably more dangerous than just some new class of starship....

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.

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.

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.

A nice end to the trilogy
Counterstrike picks up right where book 2 left off and continues the story of humanity’s fight against the Phage to its thrilling conclusion.
My biggest critique of this book is the way automation is treated. With unmanned aerial vehicles and unmanned space exploration both features of 21st century Earth, I wonder why centuries from now, humanity would have such an aversion to say, having a ship controlled remotely by a far more advanced intelligence. With mass adoption of self-driving cars on the near horizon, I would have liked to see a philosophical discussion on the pros and cons of humanity yielding control to machines or other higher intelligences. As it is, parts of this book stand somewhat at odds with present day realities, with no explanation given as to why.

Great little series finale
Normally I’m looking for books narrated by one guy in particular, or with a talking beer can. So I’m so glad I found this series. It took me a while to get into it at the start, but after a slow start to book 1, I found myself wanting 2 and 3 to continue. As this book (3), finishes, I think to myself “huh, wow, that’s it. I enjoyed it.” The ending satisfied me, mostly - I want more, but it’s done. And didn’t leave me hanging or angry. Just satisfied.
It took some turns that were sort of anticipated but not fully. I don’t know how to explain it other than “I’m pretty happy with the story, I think the narrator did a good job, and it’s worth a listen if you enjoy sci-fi and aliens and some fighting and people games.” Good job to all involved, and thanks for the entertainment.

I listened to the entire trilogy. The third book is the best. However, after listening to The Expanse series, these characters seem one dimensional and I found myself rooting for the bad guy. Narrator was the only highlight. Will not be reading anything else by this author.

Still good, just not as good
A good ending to a great trilogy. The alien ness of the "allies" and the un emotional but still intelligent AI are well executed, and the combat scenes are as always, thrilling.
my only qualm was the fact that everyone, alien, human, everyone seems to give Wolf more attention than seems reasonable, giving him info they shouldn't care to share.
Other than that, great book. looking forward to the next two trilogies. 🙂

Wont give it away but it is one of those books after half way through the second book the "Big reveal" in book three was not surprising. This was a let down. Other than this it was not a bad book Mark had yet another great performance it was just the story was a bit lack luster.

Satisfying trilogy closer
Counterstrike is Joshua Dalzelle's 3rd and final installment of the Black Ship Trilogy. With human forces now focused on addressing the alien invasion and coming to understand the nature of their new alien allies, Captain Wolfe remains unique as the only human who has experienced any contact with the phage which places him in a unique light with their new allies. He becomes privy to the background of Robert Blake and his crew as well as the humanity's place on the galactic pecking order. Wolfe's main character attribute of following his gut rather than his orders, forces him to go rogue and end the phage conflict in his own unique way. At the same time, he learns the frightening origin of the phage themselves and its implications for humanity.
The sci-fi elements are in line with the earlier installments with a greater focus on alien biology and intelligence. Dalzelle creates a striking juxtaposition of a super-intelligent race unable to defend itself nor contemplate genocide against an intelligent predator species without regard for alien intelligence. Wolfe recognizes this dichotomy leaving him and the listener to ponder the possibility of a third way. The battle scenes are quite well done with humans recognizing the inevitable impossibility of fighting a hive mind mentality from the outside that results in Wolfe's 'hail mary' attempt for closure. Overall, this installment is more cerebral than earlier ones and ponders the various possibilities for future human evolution.
The narration is solid with an excellent range of voices of both genders. Alien conversations are particularly satisfying without the more typical nasally or psychomotor retardation renditions. Pacing and mood are appropriate making for an easy listen.

And finally the interesting part is here!
That's the problem - the author has tried to made a trilogy, when he could put all of this content in to 1 or max 2 books and write further development of the story. In general that's the most interesting book from the trilogy, but still the chatty filling content is too much. I highly recommend the author to re-think the way he makes new books - I get that the commander has good management skills, but I get tired of listening the same commands he give over and over again.. who cares - we are not ship commanders and we are not so much interested in the so detailed way the commander controls the ship. That kind of development is kinda slow and not so fascinating. There are times when I was forcing myself to listen to the book, while with other authors I simply crave to have free time and listen them.
M.Boyett - one of my favorite narrators, simply amazing job, especially in this book, where the chat is a lot and many voices are required.

flawless. struck the right note time after time
I first listened to the next series in the history of this world, and it constantly referenced this trilogy so created a pent-up demand in me to understand the genesis of all that. Character development behavior is superb. The narrative stayed right on mission, never going off into stupid attempts at humor or any but the briefest references to romance. It's a lot of the same characters in both trilogies and one comes to like these well-drawn people. Also just the right amount of exposition. I especially liked The Jackson Wolfe, The male lead, was not an idiot that the author could exploit for the "okay enough of the details" faux charm. I like them very well educated.

The wrap up to a decent but not spectacular space opera
Compelling story and compelling characters. unfortunately there were a couple of major issues. Air Force Colonel Blake’s character arc was somewhat disappointing. Blake said he had 16 or 17 compadres. But we never got a chance to meet them. But more importantly - nobody asked where were they? Other than those issues it was a decent story and I would recommend it to anybody who loves navy in space.

First two had everything. But zero story here. It should have been handled in one chapter author used functions of ship as plot… clamps cannons torpedoes were substituted for story.
