Story
It’s been five years since the end of the Hive Wars. Straker has handed over the burden of governing the Earthan Republic to civil authorities. This should be a happy time, as Straker and his most loyal soldiers retire to a planet and step off the galactic stage. Unfortunately, authoritarian forces within the Earthan Republic are still simmering with rage at his victory. Rumors reach Straker of a growing new Republic Fleet manned by state loyalists. Planets begin to fall under their influence and go dark. Even in retirement, they see Straker’s Breakers as a threat.

Long before Earth began conquering her neighboring stars, Legion Varus was deployed on Tau Ceti.

Caught up in violence and intrigue, McGill is given the task of finding out where the loot has gone and who was responsible for the theft in the first place.

It’s simple: 100 percent grade-a extreme awesomeness. And also because he had never been faced with an opponent of equal power. Until now. This time, he might need a little help from a band of filthy monkeys.

An artificial object made of compressed stardust is barreling toward Earth. Is it an invasion ship? A doomsday weapon? Perhaps it’s the final response of Squanto, the Warlord of Rigel who James McGill has repeatedly humiliated. Or could it be from the Mogwa, sent to avenge McGill’s assassination of Earth’s Imperial Governor? No one knows the truth of its origins, but the object is huge and unstoppable. Whoever hurled this rock at us isn’t answering our calls. Every weapon bounces off, and the people of Earth begin to go mad as they realize their destruction is only hours away.

Publisher's Summary
USA Today best seller B.V. Larson and Dragon award finalist David VanDyke have released book six in their epic military space opera!
The Breakers find a new home among the stars: Utopia. An engineered planet that is vast beyond comprehension with plenty of room to grow. They set up trade routes and work as mercenaries for their supplies...but trouble lurks.
Pirates strike their merchant lanes. Key personnel are captured and enslaved. Straker is called upon to do something, and thus a new conflict is set in motion.
Don’t miss Hell’s Reach, a wild thrill ride of combat and intrigue among the stars. This new novel of military science fiction is the sixth book in the Galactic Liberation series. Look for book number one, Starship Liberator if you’re new to this expanding universe.

Did not like the concepts presented
This series is taking a turn for the dark side. When technology allows human life becomes extendible then the choice should be to reject that tech, not embrace it. At this rate this will just be a darker version of Larson’s Undying series.
Plus, there’s a sub theme of romantic angst. Long sections of people feeling inadequate and of love conquering all. Don’t want to read a harlequin space romance!

Deja vu all over again
Having just finished the sixth book in this series I'm convinced (although I wish it wasn't so) that its stuck in a twilight zone...between a good story and author malfeasance. It brings up some interesting ideas, but covers them up with "sludge" and cliches. Although the narrator's performance is excellent, it cannot "make a silk purse from a sow's ear". Sorry, but I don't recommend this series.

I think BV is one of the geniuses in SciFi. I do however think this book lost it’s way. It was hard to follow the extension of the storyline from the 5 previous books.

good, lightweight ear candy
follows the formula of the series.
narration is excellent as usual.
I wish B V Larson would try something new though.
always a dimple chinned, man of action, irresistible to women, all of his risky gambits pay off, constantly hurling verbal abuse at his robot/alien genius sidekick it's fun but gets repetitive.
