Summary

The liberation of old worlds...

The addition of new allies...

The fall of a regime...

The death of a trusted friend...

The Aurora begins clearing a 20-light-year sphere of safety around Earth, taking out Jung forces as they liberate the core systems. However, Captain Scott and the Alliance quickly discover that not every world wants to be liberated, and the Jung have a few surprises of their own.

Gets better and better

I highly recommend this novel if you've been following the series or enjoy millitary science fiction.

The story is action packed, and keeps you reading and wanting more, far more than what was contained within this episode.

The narration was great too, and is consistent with the others in the series.

If you decide to start from the beginning, be warned that the quality of writing starts off really poor and improves significantly towards the last few. Also note that we've seen a steady rate of these books so hopefully we won't be left hanging too long for the resolution to various cliff hangers!

Gripping and shocking - space chess at it's best

Any additional comments?

Gripping, space and planetary battles, plots and counter plots with a shocking twist - wow, this series just gets better and better

good book, narration levels are not right.

good story continuation, shame that the narration voice levels dip and raise so much between character voices and context.

"oh no" (said at normal volume) "Josh replied" (said in a whisper")

it makes it pretty jarring to listen to.
