Publisher's Summary

The fight to free the Earth from alien domination began in Live Free or Die, and continued in Citadel. Now Tyler Vernon and his troops aboard the gigantic battle station Troy face a desperate battle with the forces of galactic tyranny. And the very survival of the Earth and its people is not all that is at stake. The galaxy itself must choose to live free or die - and if the tyrants win this battle, darkness will fall across the galaxy for millennia to come.

What the critics say

“[Ringo’s SF is] peopled with three-dimensional characters and spiced with personal drama as well as tactical finesse.” ( Library Journal)
"Fans of strong military SF will appreciate Ringo’s lively narrative and flavorful characters.” ( Publishers Weekly)
“Ringo provides a textbook example of how a novel in the military SF subgenre should be written.... Crackerjack storytelling.” ( Starlog)

Preachy

Love this series, 3rd time listening through.. But they spend a few hours in this one explaining where a certain faction goes wrong.. Hours, seriously.

Well written, but short on overall plot developmen

While I found the writing and character development engaging, the lack of overall plot development was disappointing. The author spent the majority of the time reminding us how foolish and shortsighted men can be when it comes to women and in the face of our own egos and self-importance, ultimately leading to avoidable tragedy.
