Summary
Of all the hosts of Eurotas, the Troias were the most fell. For they were born of Winter.
Between the Solar Array Pumped Laser and Troy, the two-trillion-ton nickel-iron battlestation created by eccentric billionaire Tyler Vernon, Earth has managed to recapture the Sol system from their Horvath conquerors and has begun entering the galactic millieu. But when the Rangora Empire rapidly crushes humanity's only ally, it becomes clear the war is just beginning.
At the heart of nickel, iron, and starlight are the people, Marines, Navy, and civilians who make Troy a living, breathing, engine of war. Survivors of apocalypse, they know the cost of failure. If this Troy falls, no one will be left to write the epic.
Citadel continues the saga begun in Live Free or Die, following the paths of several characters during the first years of The Spiral Arm Wars, culminating in the First Battle of E Eridani.

"americans"...
Annoying American nationalistic rubbish - serious guys, "America" does not equal "Earth", and frankly most of the world definitely don't see America with your rose colored propaganda messages.
That said, a really enjoyable read once you cater for the above.

Great book, great story
If you take the story on its own it would get 5 stars. If not for the changing of history to show how America rule the world. Also a little more research needed to current political situation of the rest of the world. I.e. The French, German & Russian leaders are not called Prime ministers. That is the only fault. The science fiction is great, the characters are good.

This series is one of my favourites
Mr Boyett is perfect Vernon in my mind. Key characters are nicely thought through and help paint live story.

Dips in the middle
This is a good book, but it dips in the middle and flies off into "ideal" US politics. Generally no problem as this is written by an American, but it needs to keep some form of credibility and that is lost (at least to the non-US ear) when we are told (at great length) how the world depends upon the US but the US does not depend upon the world (being it's saviour for several decades).
You get the feeling that the author is venting his personal anger - especially against the French.
If you can ignore this 30 minutes of nonsense then it is a good story.

Again good but annoying for non USA listeners
Any additional comments?
This could be a good book but author alienates all other nations, i am from UK and he tried to be kind to us in a way. Like USA war movies where USA win everything no-one else was in WW2. However if you ignore the authors distaste for any nation other than USA the book was quite good and listenable.
The idea of the book is clever just personal bias makes it annoying......
