Publisher's Summary
An interplanetary battle is renewed in an epic novel of a warring solar system by the author of Ballistic.
The war should have been over. But it’s not for a group of nationalists grabbing for control.
It’s been two weeks since a missile with a nuclear warhead tore through the planetary defenses in the most blistering large-scale attack ever committed in the history of the Gaia system. Commander Dunstan Park of the Rhodian navy has been handpicked to command an experimental cruiser that could dictate the course of the escalating conflict. All he has to do is keep the ship from falling into the wrong hands.
On Gretia, the powder keg is beyond control. A terrorist attack against civilians draws Idina Chaudhary into a costly battle. It also forces a cautious Aden Jansen back into the fray. Now dedicated to a just cause, he’s still keeping his past hidden. The risk of exposing his former alliance could twist not only his fate but also that of his sister, Solveig, heir to the family empire.
With no time to waste, Dunstan hits the ground running. But as insurgents threaten the unstable peace, what’s ahead for both sides could change the destiny of the Gaia system forever.

Story
The year is 2108, and the North American Commonwealth is bursting at the seams. For welfare rats like Andrew Grayson, there are only two ways out of the crime-ridden and filthy welfare tenements: You can hope to win the lottery and draw a ticket on a colony ship settling off-world...or you can join the service. With the colony lottery a pipe dream, Andrew chooses to enlist in the armed forces for a shot at real food, a retirement bonus, and maybe a ticket off Earth.

Story
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.

Story
War heroes aren't usually called out of semi-retirement and sent to the far reaches of the galaxy for a routine investigation. So when Colonel Carl Butler answers the call from an old and powerful friend, he knows it's something big - and he's not being told the whole story. A high councilor's son has gone MIA out of Cappa Base, the space station orbiting a battle-ravaged planet. The young lieutenant had been wounded and evacuated - but there's no record of him having ever arrived at hospital command.

Story
More than two centuries after World War III poisoned the planet, the final bastion of humanity lives on massive airships circling the globe in search of a habitable area to call home. Aging and outdated, most of the ships plummeted back to Earth long ago. The only thing keeping the two surviving lifeboats in the sky are Hell Divers - men and women who risk their lives by skydiving to the surface to scavenge for parts the ships desperately need.

What the critics say
“A series you should start if you are a fan of grounded space opera with a military lean. The Palladium Wars comes at straight-up military fiction from an angle that keeps it interesting.” (Locus Magazine)

Great book and series, but wrong narrator for it.
Another great series by Marko with the highly detailed sci-fi world as always. Book 1 was great with Luke Daniels. Book 2 took a bit to get used to the new narrator but after the first hour or so I was able to get past the change and get back to enjoying the story. This book the narrator just seems to be reading to children with his voice modulation and cadence. Going to struggle through due to the story and my hopes for the series over all, but I really hope they change the narrator. And to clarify the narrator is talented just wrong for this type of story.

Another Great Book, the narrator is not the best
I loved Marko and his books. This series is no different. Fun, interesting, and a great blend of character and military sci-fi. I know they had to change narrators in the second book due to scheduling, which was fine. But they changed again for book three. While the narrator is well-spoken and does try to modulate his voice. Overall, for a fiction book though. He wasn't very exciting to listen to, nor did the modulation provide any real distinction between characters.

stupid tropes
I HATE when authors do that. Last book finished with Aden and co. afraid for their lives on one planet with a way out, and they just went to another random planet, acted like nothing happened and just fell in the same goddamn trap.
Oh yeah what's with the narrators changing every book?!?

Another Narrator?
Third book in the series and third narrator. Not good. Not good at all. Narrators even went from good to bad to worse. There are four storylines. I wish they were set by chapters so I could skip whole chapters to avoid the one storyline, which I don’t see yet how it contributes to the whole story
